'We want a shot at this': Nebraska volleyball team has reached crunch time for Big Ten title hopes

There aren’t many college volleyball coaches who feel sorry for Nebraska coach John Cook, especially not this season.

The Huskers returned five starters from the national runner-up team in 2018, and added the No. 2-ranked recruiting class in the country.

But it wasn’t going to be all easy for Nebraska, which had to make up for the graduation of its best point scorer (Mikaela Foecke) and its best point stopper (Kenzie Maloney).

That’s a lofty challenge for the No. 6 Huskers, though.
