The Huskers are 2-0 on the spring so far, defeating San Diego on March 16 and Wichita State on April 7 in North Platte. That match drew a sellout crowd of 2,400 at North Platte High School. Against the Shockers, All-American Tracy Stalls led Nebraska with 12 kills, while AVCA National Player of the Year Sarah Pavan also had 12 kills. Last Saturday’s match also featured the return of Christina Houghtelling, who had six kills in her first competitive action since last spring.
