Sunday afternoon at the Bob Devaney Sports Complex in Lincoln, the #7-ranked Nebraska Huskers Women’s volleyball team hosted their former Big XII rival the Iowa State Cyclones. On the day when the Huskers retired Sarah Pavan’s #9 jersey, the Huskers handled the visitors from Ames 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-16).
Nebraska scored first, but Iowa State answered quickly to take their own lead, 2-1. Nebraska offense woke up at that point and with junior outside hitter Mikaela Foecke on the service line, the Huskers used a 4-0 to force an Iowa State timeout with the Huskers leading 5-2.
The visitors settled in a bit after that, but the Huskers held onto their advantage as the teams traded points.
