No. 1 Nebraska Volleyball Sweeps Iowa, Wins Big Ten Title Outright
There will be no shared conference crown for Nebraska volleyball in 2023.
No. 1 Nebraska swept Iowa Sunday afternoon: 25-21, 21, 15. The win puts the Huskers up to 27-0 on the season and 18-0 in the Big Ten. With Wisconsin at three league losses and NU having just two matches remaining, Nebraska is the outright Big Ten Conference champion.
NU hit .233 for the match, holding Iowa to .121. The usual block for the NU defense was surprisingly absent, as the Hawkeyes won that category 8-6.
Merritt Beason hit a match-high 12 kills. The balanced attacking continued with Bekka Allick, Ally Batenhorst and Harper Murray all notching nine kills, while Andi Jackson had seven kills. Bergen Reilly handed out 37 assists during the sweep.
Nebraska heads on the road for the final two matches of the regular season: Friday at No. 3 Wisconsin and Saturday at Minnesota.
