Comhuskers meet goals,
sweep weekend tourney

The Nebraska volleyball team came
into the Arby’s Classic hungry for
wins and improvement.
The sixth-ranked Cornhuskers
found the recipe they wanted, win
ning all three matches in the
tournement at the NU Coliseum this
weekend to raise their record to 7-0.
On Friday, Nebraska beat Louis
ville 15-6, 15-4, 14-16,15-1.
Nebraska swept both matches Sat
urday. The Huskers beat Wyoming
15-3,15-2,15-5 in a match that took
only 59 minutes. They then won
against No. 25 Washington 15-1,15
4, 15-7 Saturday night before a sea
son-high crowd of 2,851.
Husker coach Terry Pettit said he
was pleased with how his players
performed but was disappointed they
didn’t put away their opponents soon
er.
“We let up at times this weekend,”
he said. “But we made some progress
this weekend.
“I don’t know that the wins told us
much, because Washington is hurt by
injuries.”
The Huskers came out quickly
against the Huskies. After Washing
ton scored the first point, Nebraska
scored 15 unanswered points to seal
the first game.
Washington coach Bill Neville said
injuries had decimated his team up to
this point.
“We’re missing about nine play
ers,” Neville said. “This was the sec
ond match that Marya Jensen hadever
set, because our No. 1 setter is injured
with a bad back.
“It’s tough for Marya to come into
an intense environment like this and
be a quarterback to a ball club.”
Pettit said tempo and passing were
keys to the match.
“We were passing right to Nikki
(Strieker), and our tempo was much
quicker than theirs,” he said. “They
had trouble adjusting to that.”
In the second game, Nebraska
scored nine points before the Huskies
could get on the board. Nebraska won
15-4.
Nebraska fell behind 5-1 early in
the third game, but the Huskers scored
14 of the next 16 points to take the
victory.
Nebraska setter Nikki Strieker was
named the tournament’s Most Valu
able Player. She was joined by three
other Huskers — middle blockers
Allison Weston and Jen McFadden
and outside hitter Maria Hedbeck —
on the all-tournament team.
