5th jewel in Huskers’ crown
The Huskers are national champions in women’s volleyball for the fifth time after a win of three sets to one against the Florida Gators. The victory capped a remarkable season in which Nebraska, with several veteran stars from last year gone, stumbled early but came one strong once conference play began.
Three Huskers — Mikaela Foecke, Kelly Hunter and Kenzie Maloney — made the all-tournament team, and the co-most valuable players were Hunter and Foecke. Get all the coverage and commentary on our game page. Below are some highlights from a most memorable Saturday night in Kansas City.
