Maryland volleyball entered the Xfinity Center Pavilion on Saturday night for a highly-anticipated matchup against No. 5 Nebraska, hoping to pull out a home upset.
But the Cornhuskers held true to their reputation as a national powerhouse, sweeping the Terps in straight sets: 19-15, 16-25, 25-13.
The Terps were entering the night two-match winning streak coming into Saturday, winning three of four matches in conference play. But that would easily be broken by the Cornhuskers.
Maryland (11-9, 3-5 Big Ten) did its best to keep the score close in the first, but Nebraska (15-2, 7-1) was too much for it to handle, starting the separation with a 5-0 run to take a 10-6 lead early.
