Kubik had a season-best 22 kills in the fifth-ranked Huskers’ 25-21, 25-16, 23-25, 25-15 victory at the Devaney Sports Center.
It was the third straight win for Nebraska (14-2, 6-1 Big Ten), and came during the last of four straight home matches.
Kubik reached her total on 51 attempts, and finished with a .314 hitting percentage. She was averaging a .178 hitting percentage. Her 22 kills tied Mikaela Foecke's 2015 freshman high of 22 as the most by an NU freshman since Sarah Pavan had 35 in 2004.
