Travel delays behind them, Huskers set to play some softball

The Nebraska softball team will play three games at Rutgers beginning Saturday, and after a couple days of travel hiccups, here's guessing the softball diamond will be a very welcomed sight.

The Huskers and Scarlet Knights were originally scheduled to begin their series Friday, but Nebraska's Thursday direct flight — out of Omaha — to Newark, New Jersey, was cancelled.

That left the team scrambling to find available flights to the New York area.

The Huskers departed on a bus en route for Omaha at 2 a.m. Friday, and boarded a 5 a.m. flight to Chicago.
