Nebraska and Creighton met last year around this time, September 7th. At that time Nebraska was undefeated and ranked #2 in the NCAA coaches poll. Creighton was 5-1 and ranked #17 in the poll.
Not much has changed in the scene above. Nebraska is undefeated and ranked #4 while Creighton is 5-1 and ranked #16. Last year, Nebraska took the match in five closely contested sets (25-18, 25-23, 25-27, 17-25, 15-9).
Coach Cook says that his team wants to be the Nebraska state champions. Nebraska beat Omaha in Memorial Stadium last week, and Creighton plays Omaha on Friday September 8th, so there will be a state champion this year.
