No. 1 Nebraska Volleyball Clinches Share of Big Ten Title in Top-20 Sweep of Washington
Harper Murray served the final point as Nebraska improved to 25-0 and moved within one win of an outright conference crown.
On Sunday, top-ranked Nebraska swept Washington 25-20, 25-13, 25-22 in front of 9,294 fans at Alaska Airlines Arena, securing at least a share of the Big Ten championship.
The win extends Nebraska's regular-season winning streak to 56 matches and marks the program's eighth 25-0 start, continuing their first four-consecutive conference title run since 2004-08.
Harper Murray led the offense with 13 kills, while setter Bergen Reilly recorded 37 assists and eight digs as Nebraska hit.477 and limited Washington to.210 hitting.
Head coach Dani Busboom Kelly, who improves to 24-1 against ranked teams, utilized substitutes during the match, saying, "I want to get some experience and put some players in."
Nebraska returns home to face Illinois on Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center's John Cook Arena, needing one more win to clinch the outright title.
