John Cook is wearing a red cowboy hat and Nebraska volleyball takes down big bad No. 1 Wisconsin. Big Red two-step on a Saturday. What a day for the #Huskers.
FINAL | Nebraska wins it. Call is overturned. Nebraska takes down Wisconsin for the first time since 2017. https://t.co/Et30Br9uep
Huskers win the challenge. And the match in five. Wow. https://t.co/U7PLhivBdl
S5 | Harper Murray's swing is wide. But Cook is challenging. If the challenge is successful, that's a win for Nebraska. If not, we play on at 14-14.
Back to even at 14 in Lincoln.
Match point, Nebraska. Huskers on a 4-0 run and lead 14-12 in the fifth. The Devaney Center has officially come unglued.
Match point Nebraska.
S5 | Oh boy. IT'S MATCH POINT, NEBRASKA.
And it is 12-12 in Lincoln. Time #Badgers.
Harper Murray kill makes it 12-12 in the fifth and prompts a Wisconsin timeout. A finish fit for the hype here in Lincoln.
S5 | Timeout, Nebraska. Wisconsin leads, 11-9. It's been back and forth for a while.
#Badgers volleyball with 8-6 lead in fifth set.
S5 | Switching sides. Wisconsin leads, 8-6.
S4 | Long swing for the Huskers to open S4. 1-0
SET 3 | Wisconsin 25, Nebraska 20. Wisconsin takes a 2-1 lead. Nebraska needs to dig deep here.
Wisconsin wins the third set 25-20, fittingly on a block. The Badgers stuffed Ally Batenhorst to go up two sets to one. Nebraska and its fans came to life at the end of that set out of irritation with UW coach Kelly Sheffield. We'll see if it carries into the fourth.
S3 | Nebraska threatening here. Merritt Beason with a service ace that sends Nebraska fans to their feet. Timeout Wisconsin. UW leads, 23-20.
S2 | Timeout, Nebraska. Three straight points for Wisconsin — a kill from Sarah Franklin, a block from Robinson/Crawford, a long swing for Ally Batenhorst — and the Badgers are up, 17-10. Not technically an insurmountable lead, but gotta get right.
