Nebraska Volleyball Sweeps Rutgers

No issues this time for Husker volleyball.

Just a day after surviving a five-set thriller against No. 10 Purdue, No. 2 Nebraska volleyball handles Rutgers in straight sets. The Huskers won 25-15, 25-16, 25-12 to improve to 16-1 and remain undefeated in Big Ten play. The Scarlet Knights are now 5-12 on the year and 0-6 in league play.

Nebraska's dominance was on display on both side of the net. Offensively, the Huskers hit .314. Defensively, NU had 51 digs and nine blocks, holding the Rutgers to .083 hitting.

Sophomore outside hitter Harper Murray had a match-high 13 kills to go with 11 digs. Leyla Blackwell, starting for Rebekah Allick, had nine kills on a .600 hitting percentage and a match-high seven blocks.

Bergen Reilly dished out 25 assists, adding a match-high 13 digs to complete the double-double.

Nebraska will play back-to-back days again next week, this time on the road. The Huskers face Michigan State Friday on the Big Ten Network and Ohio State Saturday on NBC.
