Nebraska setter Kelly Hunter (3) passes the ball in the second set of an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight match against Kentucky on Saturday at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, Ky.
GWYNETH ROBERTS, Journal StarLEXINGTON, Ky. — Kelly Hunter got a hug from coach John Cook in the locker room after Nebraska beat Kentucky in four sets Saturday in the NCAA Elite Eight.
It’s remarkable what the senior setter from Papillion has done, Cook said. In each of Hunter's three seasons as the Huskers’ starting setter, Nebraska has reached the NCAA Final Four. She’s already set the Huskers to two conference championships and one national championship, with a chance for one more this week in Kansas City, Missouri.
