Tickets gone in 27 minutes. Nebraska Volleyball is heading to Ord, and the hype is real. Taking on South Dakota State this Saturday, the Huskers are set to show why they're a force.
NEBRASKA'S TOUR TRADITION
Nebraska’s spring tradition continues. Since 2007, they've been bringing the heat across the state. This year? Ord High School is the lucky host. And if you're not in the stands, catch it on Nebraska Public Media or stream on B1G+.
HUSKER DOMINANCE
Last season, the Huskers finished with a 33-3 record, reaching the NCAA Semifinals back-to-back. Eight wins against top-10 teams? That's no joke. They also claimed their 36th conference title, handling business with a 19-1 Big Ten run. The Big Ten champs weren't just playing—they were proving a point.
SDSU'S CHALLENGE
Enter South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits, led by Sylvie Zgonc with 4.37 kills per set, are no slouches. They went 27-3 last year, taking the Summit League title. But let's be real—Nebraska's defense, leading the nation in opponent hitting percentage for two years straight, is a tough nut to crack.
LAST TIME OUT
Remember the Kansas sweep? Nebraska showed their depth with Andi Jackson and Rebekah Allick cranking out 11 kills each. And let's not forget new face Hunter with her impressive .563 hitting. They hit .285 as a team while keeping Kansas to .214. That's straight-up dominant.
Nebraska’s spring match against South Dakota State isn’t just another game. It’s a statement. Expect the Huskers to handle business, adding another win to their storied legacy.
