LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) – No. 1 Nebraska volleyball advanced to the Sweet 16 with a sweep of Kansas State on Saturday night (25-17, 25-21, 25-16).
The Huskers (32-0) will host a second weekend in Lincoln, beginning with the Kansas Jayhawks in the Regional Semifinal on Friday, Dec. 12 at 8:30pm. The winner will play either Louisville or Texas A&M in the Regional Final.
Andi Jackson and Harper Murray led the Huskers with 10 kills apiece in a game where Nebraska had to step outside its comfort zone to defeat the Wildcats.
“Kansas State played great. They really challenged us in a lot of areas,” head coach Dani Busboom Kelly said. “I thought this was one of the first matches in awhile that we had to gut it out with our serve and pass and floor defense.”
After taking the first set, 25-17, Kansas State took control in Set Two. Wildcats setter Ava Legrand hit the Huskers with a set over to take a 10-9 advantage. The Papio South native had four kills in set.
Despite a late 4-0 run from KSU, Nebraska closed out the frame on a 3-0 run with a Jackson-Murray block serving as set point, 25-21.
Kansas State opened the third set in front 5-3 before Nebraska went to work, compiling runs of 8-1 and 6-1 to take a 23-13 advantage. Taylor Landfair drilled a kill off the block for match point, sending the Huskers on to the Sweet 16 for a 14th straight season.
Chasing an awkward 162-run target, the hosts stumbled early with three quick wickets before Travis Head (34*) and Beau Webster (39*) steered them to a historic victory.
