On Friday night the Huskers ranked No. 3 fell to Colorado State ranked No. 15 (25-12, 25-11, 16-25, 20-25, 9-15). Gina Mancuso lead the Huskers with 24 kills and 41 attempts with a hitting percentage of 0.341. In the first set the Huskers came out and took an early lead, Colorado just couldn't get anything back and Huskers took the game 25-12. Nebraska jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the second set, eventually stretching it to 19-5 and taking the set, 25-11. Colorado State came out in the third set, after the break, and took the game 16-25. In the fourth set the Huskers and Rams fought point for point. Colorado State got it to 16-12. Nebraska had to call a timeout. After the timeout Nebraska came back to 17-16. Then fell 25-20 after fight for each point. In the fifth set Huskers and Rams battle for each point, but Rams took a late lead at 12-8. The Huskers couldn't quite get it done and lost 9-15.
I think that the Huskers could have won that in three. They can't get down in between games. It is hard to watch them win big in the first two and then lose in the next three. They could have had a better serve recieve. It was hard for them to get anything up, or even get a hand on a ball, in the third match for sure. They did a little better job in the fourth, but just could not get it done. If they just could have held it together in the fourth game they could have beat Colorado State.

I do not know much about this sport. But i do know when it goes 5 games, it was a very good match! Sounds exciting
Huskers could have taken it in three. Maybe they'll come back and win the next one
I dont know much about it either but it sounds like they have a chance to come back and win
How terrible to win the first two so easily and then suffer for the next three games! Hopefully this isn't a prediction of choking in the future.
