B1G play started for the #3 University of Nebraska Cornhuskers Women’s Volleyball Team on Friday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The night featured sisters competing against one another as Nebraska’s back-up setter Brooke Smith’s sister, Natalie, plays DS for Michigan. Brooke left with bragging rights as the Huskers beat the Wolverines 3-1 (25-19, 25-27, 25-17, 25-12).
Nebraska came out strong in the first set, opening an early 7-2 lead before Michigan tied the score at 8. The Huskers then opened the score up to a three point lead at 14-11.
The Big Red couldn’t hold that advantage long, but Michigan never closed the gap.
