It took until the fourth week of the season, but Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook now has all the players available that he intended to have.
First, backup setter and serving specialist Brooke Smith won an appeal for NCAA eligibility and played for the first time during the third week of the season.
Then transfer outside hitter Lexi Sun played her first two matches last weekend, after needing time to recover from an offseason injury.
It’s all come together just in time because Nebraska begins the 20-match Big Ten Conference season this week. The Huskers’ first Big Ten match is against 18th ranked Michigan on Friday.
