Volleyball: Huskers Boil Purdue

In a Sunday matinee, the #3 Nebraska Huskers took on the #17 Purdue Boilermakers at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers swept Purdue 25-17, 25-13, 25-17, completing a brutal road trip for the Boilermakers, who fell to Iowa on Friday night.

Nebraska took the first point, but Purdue answered back, taking the next two. From that point, the teams traded points with Purdue holding the advantage. Nebraska finally re-took the lead 9-8.

The Huskers held a lead of three points at 14-11, but Purdue closed again to 14-13 Huskers before the Huskers won the next point and had a 15-13 lead at the media timeout.
