Nebraska: The Cornhuskers won two matches and even moved up a spot in this week's AVCA coaches poll to No. 4. After sweeping Wisconsin on Friday night, Nebraska had its hands full on the road at No. 14 Minnesota on Saturday. The Huskers dug themselves out of an 0-2 hole in front of over 9,000 fans in Williams Arena and came back to down the Gophers in five sets. After a home match against Iowa on Wednesday, Nebraska will be hosting the biggest match of the Big Ten season so far as No. 1 Illinois visits the NU Coliseum this Saturday night.
