Indiana was within reach of winning the first set against the Nebraska volleyball team Friday with a 23-22 lead. But then Nebraska won the final three rallies for a 25-23 win.
First, Amber Rolfzen had a kill on a slide play, making up for her hitting error on the previous rally, to make it 23-23, and Indiana had a hitting error on the next rally. On the Huskers’ first set point, Annika Albrecht dropped in a short serve for an ace. Phew.
“We lose that game and then we could be in another ugly frame of mind for game two,” Nebraska coach John Cook said after the Huskers’ 25-23, 25-13, 25-17 win at the Devaney Sports Center
Nebraska was coming off its first loss of the season last week against Ohio State, and was on the verge of being in another tight match against an opponent it was supposed to beat.
