No. 2 Huskers Dominate No. 7 Badgers In Sweep


Lexi Sun led the Huskers with 12 kills, while Madi Kubik added 11 and Whitney Lauenstein had 10. Nebraska hit .362 as a team, while holding Wisconsin to .167.

“I thought we played really well tonight,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “We served and passed well, and we were able to get our offense going early.”

The Huskers took control of the match early in the first set, building a 10-point lead and never looking back. They continued to dominate in the second set, hitting .471 and holding Wisconsin to .111.

The Badgers made a run in the third set, cutting Nebraska’s lead to 19-17. But the Huskers closed out the match with a 6-2 run.

“We knew Nebraska was going to be a tough opponent,” Wisconsin coach Kelly Sheffield said. “But I thought our team played hard and competed.”

The sweep is Nebraska’s first over Wisconsin since 2017. It also marks the first time the Huskers have won nine straight matches since 2018.

“This was a big win for us,” Cook said. “We’re playing with a lot of confidence right now.”

The Huskers (11-1) will return to action on Wednesday when they host Michigan State. The Badgers (9-3) will host Michigan on Saturday.
