Nebraska’s first-round opponent, Kentucky, has one of the best attackers in the country in outside hitter Leah Edmond. Her 4.63 kills per set ranks 14th nationally, and the Wildcats rank third nationally in hitting percentage with a .308 average. If Nebraska advances, they may have to play Minnesota, which has a scary good offense.
So watch closely how much pressure Nebraska puts on its opponents with serving. Nebraska coach John Cook feels like the Huskers can string together a run of points with any of Nebraska's servers, but one server Nebraska would like to make a run with is freshman setter Nicklin Hames.
