Huskers Return to AVCA Top 10

Nebraska moved up one spot in the Nov. 3 USA Today/AVCA Coaches poll on the strength of its three-game win over then-No. 12 Northern Iowa Sunday, returning to the top 10 for the first time since Oct. 13. The Panthers dropped one spot to No. 13.

With the win over Northern Iowa, Nebraska improved to 20-3 on the season and 3-3 against teams ranked in this week’s poll. NU will face three ranked teams on the road in its next four matches, including No. 21 Texas A&M (Nov. 5), No. 25 Missouri (Nov. 8) and No. 5 Kansas State (Nov. 15).

Nebraska is one of two teams that have been ranked in the USA Today/AVCA Coaches poll for all 296 weeks of its existence. The Huskers have been ranked in the top 10 for 264 of the 296 weeks, which ranks second behind Stanford’s 278. Nebraska has spent 38 weeks in the top spot, and its most recent No. 1 ranking was Sept. 24, 2001.
