Ebony Nwanebu provided the spark the third-ranked Texas volleyball team needed Friday during its match against fourth-ranked Nebraska.
Making her debut for Texas, Nwanebu, a high-profile transfer, delivered 22 kills in a five-set victory over Nebraska in the opening match of the Vert Challenge at Gregory Gym. A 6-foot-5-inch junior, Nwanebu was named the 2013 national freshman of the year after helping Southern California to an NCAA regional final that season.
