Nebraska Sweeps Michigan, Becomes No. 1 Seed

No. 1 Nebraska swept Michigan in Ann Arbor 25-18, 25-13 and 25-18, marking the Huskers' ninth consecutive sweep and improving their record to 18-0 (8-0 Big Ten). The match drew a Crisler Center–record crowd of 12,707 — the arena’s first sellout — and continued Nebraska's run of attendance records since Volleyball Day 2023. Nebraska dominated statistically, hitting .390 to Michigan’s .079 while winning 40-32 in kills, 36-26 in digs and 13-6 in blocks. Harper Murray led with nine kills, Andi Jackson added eight kills and six blocks, and setter Bergen Reilly posted 28 assists. Nebraska was named the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division I in-season top 16 and returns home next weekend to face Northwestern and Michigan State. The program’s sustained popularity is driving facility growth — John Cook Arena is planned to expand to about 10,000 seats by 2026 and Nebraska's sellout streak tops 340 straight sellouts.
