John Cook remembers well the last time his Nebraska volleyball team lost its first two matches of the season.
Those Huskers, featuring sophomores Amber Rolfzen and Kadie Rolfzen and a freshman setter, Kelly Hunter, began the season ranked No. 7. In the opening weekend of the AVCA Showcase at the Devaney Sports Center, Florida State and Stanford combined to win six of seven sets against Nebraska.
“We were just bad,” Cook said. “I know I felt bad after that. I was just really discouraged.”
Three years later, the Huskers are again 0-2, but Cook is far more encouraged.
