During the first set of the match, Maloney dove into the Nebraska bench to save the ball, keeping the play alive and allowing Nebraska to win a long rally. Nebraska lost that set, 27-25, but that play helped set the tone for a relentless effort on defense that led Nebraska to a five-set upset win and the start of a winning streak that has now reached eight matches going into the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska coach John Cook has another story he’s told a few times that shows Maloney’s effort and athleticism.
