Nebraska beat Kentucky 3-0 in the first match of the day. Nebraska would have been playing in front of 5,000 fans in an arena that can get pretty loud. Now it will likely be a smaller and more impartial crowd, minus the several hundred Nebraska fans who were here on Friday, and any more who may be on their way.
Oregon won the final three sets of the match in the 21-25, 41-39, 25-14, 26-24 victory. Oregon built momentum by winning one of the longest sets in college history in the second set.
Nebraska has already played Oregon this season, beating the Ducks in three sets in the first week of the season for the first of Nebraska’s 27 wins.
