Nebraska Volleyball Overcomes a Scrappy UCLA Team
Nebraska 3 UCLA 1 - 25-22, 25-10, 23-25, 25-22
Nebraska’s offense was high powered and the star of most of this match against a typically very good UCLA offense. Huskers hit .246 for the match while holding UCLA to .153. While those numbers are different, they were much different until UCLA went on a run late in set three and carried that momentum into set four. This match is a story to tell.
Let’s start at the beginning of the match when UCLA matched Nebraska swing for swing and played a lot of defense. Set one was tight and neither team led by more than two until Nebraska took the final point of the set 25-22. The Bruins look much better than their 6-3 record indicates.
