Nebraska 3 vs Purdue 1 - 23-25, 25-18, 25-15, 25-21
As predicted, Purdue came in hot. Their players were firing away and Nebraska could do little to stop the Purdue attack. The Boilermakers hit a fantastic .429 in the first set, with 16 kills. But the Huskers absorbed the body blow, and towards the end of set one, down by a lot, Kenzie Knuckles served the Huskers to a seven point run, shifting the momentum.
It was clear from watching that the Nebraska squad started, finally, to put the game plan into action and figure out how to slow the Boilermaker roll.
