Top-Ranked Nebraska Huskers Sweep Maryland to Remain Unbeaten

Top-ranked Nebraska remained unbeaten (12-0) with a third straight straight-set sweep of Maryland, 25-14, 27-25, 25-14, before 8,477 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Senior middle Rebekah Allick led the Huskers with 13 kills, six blocks and a strong hitting night (about .750), matching a career high and moving to No. 5 on Nebraska’s rally-scoring-era block list. Harper Murray posted a 10-kill, 10-dig double-double, Andi Jackson added nine kills with high efficiency, and Bergen Reilly had 29 assists as the team hit .360 and totaled 11 blocks. Nebraska held Maryland to just about .090-.115 hitting and survived a late second-set rally that forced extra points before pulling away in the third. After briefly experimenting with a two-setter look, NU reverted to its usual lineup and now heads on the road to face No. 15 Penn State Friday and Rutgers Saturday.
