Nebraska vs. Indiana

The No. 2 Nebraska swept Indiana 3 games to none (25-19, 25-19, 25-20). Morgan Broekhuis lead the Huskers with 12 kills of the night. Nebraska came out hard in the first set, but closer to the end Indiana was fighting back. The Huskers take the first set 25-19. In the second set Indiana came out wanting it, then the Huskers came back and took it 25-19.  In the third set both teams wanted it badly. It went back and forth with points. The Huskers took the third set also 25-20.


I think they played a really good game. They knew what they had to do and came out and did it. Lauren Cook was back playing, so they had their starting setter back playing with them. Things were back to normal. They played really well with the other setter also. I think they did a really good job not worrying about having a different player on the court and going out and playing their game. Luckily, this game they got their starting setter back.

Huskers vs. Michigan State

The No. 2 Huskers defeated Michigan State in three sets (25-11, 25-18, 25-23). Gina Mancuso led the Huskers with 13 kills on 26 attacks. In the first set the Huskers came out early and took the lead. They were was never a point in the set that Michigan was ahead, they just could never catch up. In the second set the Huskers went out strong again, but there close to the end Michigan had a five point run, but Huskers won the set, making it 2 games to none. In the third set the Huskers took an early lead, but Michigan came back and tied it. Michigan was on top 16-11 over Nebraska. The Huskers had a five point run which tied it at 16 all. The Huskers were down 20-18, when the huskers came back and was tied at 22 all. Finally, the Huskers ended the match 25-23.

The Huskers played a really game against Michigan State. I was really nervous to see how they would play since their starting setter had to sit out. In case you are all wondering what happened to Lauren, she pretty much did a hit and run. She was also on a suspended license, which doesn't make the situation any better. She is scheduled for court sometime soon, and we will find out more from what happens with court. I thought it was really cool, because they have a senior setter that doesn't ever play. It was cool that she finally got to play some.
