Nebraska 3 vs Purdue 0- 25-22, 25-20, 25-11
Nebraska served aggressively and hit their target locations to force Purdue’s setter off the net. That limited their offense and put a great deal of pressure on Purdue freshman outside hitter, Eva Hudson.
The defense was everywhere for Nebraska. Kenzie Knuckles and Lexi Rodriguez both dug a ton with 14 and 17 digs respectively. They not only dug a lot of balls but they kept rallies going by saving tough balls. Keeping the ball off the floor gives the attackers another chance to terminate the ball.
Nebraska’s outside hitters were effective as Purdue shadowed the middles and that gave the outsides only one blocker to hit against.
