When Sarah Pavan came to Nebraska from Canada to play volleyball for the Huskers about 14 years ago she said the people of Nebraska welcomed her with open arms.
They did so again on Sunday, with thousands of fans staying in their seats after the Huskers’ match against Iowa State for the jersey retirement ceremony of the program’s only four-time first-team All-American and all-time kills leader.
The seventh-ranked Huskers won their sixth consecutive match with a 25-22, 25-18, 25-16 victory in front of 8,108 fans.
During the ceremony Nebraska coach John Cook spoke to the crowd.
