Miller shows value to Nebraska volleyball team; Huskers play for share of Big Ten lead on Sunday

Nebraska’s Megan Miller claps after her team scores a point against Wichita State on Sept. 21 at the Devaney Sports Center.

Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook often talks about the fine line between success and failure when you’re serving in a college match.

If you just float over an easy serve, a team with great hitters, like Minnesota, is going to crush the ball back over the net. And if you’re not focused, the serve will sail long, wide or into the net.

But if you’re confident, and aggressive, a great serve can result in an ace, or at least a bad pass, and slow down the opponents’ attack.
