The Huskers will face UCLA on Saturday at 7 p.m. on NET and the Husker Sports Network. UCLA is a historically good volleyball school but missed the 2019 NCAA tournament. The Bruins were ranked seven in the Pac-12 preseason poll but did received 7 votes for the top 25 nationally.
They have some exciting players returning. Mac May led the team in kills last season along with Jenny Mosser. Senior Sawy Simo won her second NCAA beach title for UCLA. She plays all six rotations on the indoor team. UCLA had some big success on the beach last season but I don’t expect them to give Nebraska big trouble tonight.
