Husker Volleyball 2018

Post by Uffda »

Huskers just picked up a transfer from Texas. Lexi Sun was top rated high school player and first team all Big 12 as a freshman. She is immediately available to play

High-profile volleyball transfer Lexi Sun kept her options open, and that gave Nebraska a chance

Unlike past teams, Nebraska didn't pressure Florida in season-opening loss

#2 Huskers lose at home against #7 Florida. Lexi Sun did not play due to her back.

With power and efficiency, Foecke leads Nebraska to first win
On Saturday, Foecke had 15 kills to lead the second-ranked Huskers to a 25-21, 25-21, 26-24 win against No. 18 Oregon, helping Nebraska get its first win of the season after losing the first match against Florida

Sounds like a really good time in front of a big time crowd. Looks like Cook has another fun team this year.

I'd really enjoy a discussion about a few Omaha folk who have said, basically, every year ought to be played in Omaha between the two teams. Personally, I'm struggling to understand it. A comment I read said Lincoln PBA would only get "50-100 Creighton fans" whereas the CHI would get a 50-50 split. Really?

Yes. Nebraska is a state school where you would have thousands of fans in Omaha.
Creighton is regional school where you would have very few fans west of 204th St.

The attendance split at CHI, from my perspective, was about 60% Husker fans and 40% Jay fans. There was definitely more red than blue.

Part of why you only get a few fans to a VB game is Lincoln is that the Nebraska fans for to every game a sell out their arena of about 8,000. Sure CHI seats more but so would PBA.

I'd like to see them do this match once at PBA. Love that arena, would be cool to see VB in there.

I agree but have my doubts it will happen. There is a major home court advantage playing at the Bob and it seats more than most places that are VB specific.

After the season got rolling I forgot we were still adding Lexi Sun. Cool to see her playing now. This is going to be a fun season.

#3 Huskers beat #18 Michigan in 4 sets to start conference play.
Let's hope the football team can do the same in 4 quarters.
