The Nebraska Cornhuskers are in takeover mode. Thursday night, they swept the Iowa Hawkeyes 25-15, 25-21, 25-18, in front of a roaring crowd at John Cook Arena.
NEBRASKA'S UNSTOPPABLE RUN
27-0. That's Nebraska's jaw-dropping record. With this win, Nebraska clinched a share of the Big Ten title. But let's be real—they want it all. And they're one win away from making it official.
The Huskers were straight up dominant, hitting .384 while holding Iowa to a mere .073. Harper Murray led with 11 kills and six digs, while Andi Jackson added 10 kills and three blocks. And don't sleep on Virginia Adriano, who tallied nine kills, three blocks, and three aces.
THE CLINIC CONTINUES
Nebraska's set play was a masterclass. Set 1? They bolted to an 11-3 lead, thanks to aces from Murray and Jackson. By the time Skyler Pierce sealed it with a kill, Iowa was left in the dust.
Set 2 had more drama. Iowa clawed back to tie it at 20-20, but Murray had other plans, delivering clutch kills to put Nebraska back in control. And the third set? A tightly contested start flipped with an Adriano kill and a crucial block by Jackson and Bergen Reilly.
This is where it changed. From there, Nebraska didn't look back, completing the sweep on Jackson's 11th kill.
ALL EYES ON INDIANA
Saturday's game against Indiana is the next chapter. One more win, and Nebraska clinches the Big Ten title outright. You could feel it coming. They're not just playing for a title; they're making a statement.
Dani Busboom Kelly, in her first year as head coach, is making history. She's the first to win a Big Ten title in her inaugural year at a school. That's big time.
Watch out, Indiana. Nebraska's coming to handle business.
