Nebraska Volleyball Sweeps; Football Clinches Bowl Eligibility

Nebraska volleyball stayed unbeaten (19-0, 9-0 Big Ten) with a 25-17, 25-13, 25-17 Pink Match sweep of Northwestern — its 10th straight sweep and 31st consecutive set won, tying a school record; the Huskers hit .357 while holding Northwestern to .099. Key contributors included Harper Murray (nine kills, eight digs), Rebekah Allick and Teraya Sigler (seven kills each), Andi Jackson (six kills, five blocks) and Bergen Reilly (30 assists). In football, Nebraska beat Northwestern 28-21 to clinch bowl eligibility, finishing the game with a clock-consuming drive capped by an Emmett Johnson touchdown and steady quarterback play from Dylan Raiola. The victory highlighted defensive issues — limited pass rush and difficulty getting off the field — and coaches said execution and player decision-making must improve despite maintained practice standards.
