After traveling to Norman, Okla., on Feb. 5 to battle Oklahoma, NU will hit the road again for the Navy Pier Meet with Denver and Illinois in Chicago on Feb. 12. The Huskers continue a stretch of away meets, as North Carolina State plays host to Nebraska on Feb. 20 in Raleigh, N.C.
The Huskers will return to Lincoln on Feb. 28 to welcome Arizona, Denver and West Virginia for the Masters Classic. Nebraska will then take on Utah, which closed the 2009 season ranked third, in Salt Lake City on Friday, March 5.
