Huskers drop in poll after first loss

For the first time this season the Nebraska volleyball team is not the No. 1 ranked team in the AVCA poll, but another Big Ten Conference team is in the top spot.

Minnesota is the new No. 1 team, while Nebraska dropped to third.

Nebraska had been No. 1 in the first six polls of the season before losing its first match of the season on Saturday against Ohio State 3-1.

Minnesota (12-1) moved up to the top spot, receiving 61 of the 64 first-place votes. The Gophers have won 11 straight matches since an early loss to Stanford.
