Although team Rutgers gave tough competition to the team Nebraska, aka Huskers, it could not clinch even one point in the match. Eventually, the Huskers emerged as the winners in the battle, securing a lead of 21 points from Team Nebraska. This not only led to the victorious start for team Huskers but also led to the ending of 17 years quest.
On the other hand, team Rutgers lost four consecutive battles in the Big Ten Tournament. Scarlet Knight’s long big ten win was majorly an upset over the No. 16 ranked Minnesota team, which led to the first win of the team over a ranked opponent. In contrast to this, Scarlet Knights are shining through the lanes with an impressive hitting of .209, while the opponent is hitting .205 this season.
Reigning Back Again
Even though the team is working hard to perform exceptionally well on the court, there are many more matches to go. However, Nebraska’s volleyball team initiated the tournament with not only a win but also a season’s best score since 2006. Nebraska’s best start of the season was in 2008, with a record of 20-0.
In addition to this, it had a previous record of 23-0 back in 2006 and 28-0 in 2005. Eventually, this season, it has managed to break the record of the last 17 years. The major reason for this accomplishment is the teamwork as well as the key players, including Merritt Beason, who leads at 3.64 kills per set. The next match of Nebraska with the Huskers is lined up for next Sunday, Nov 15. Now the question is, Will Nebraska make it to break the record of 2005?
