The No. 2 Nebraska Volleyball team is preparing to host No. 1 Wisconsin this weekend. The Saturday night match is one of the biggest volleyball events during the 2023 season.
When asked about the importance of the game, head coach John Cook told the press they’ve already played in the biggest match, not just this year but in the long and storied history of the sports.
“Everyone is talking about how big of a match this is. I said ‘You guys have already played the biggest match in the history of volleyball.”
Cook is of course speaking about Nebraska’s record setting match that took place at Memorial Stadium earlier this year. The Huskers defeated Omaha back in August 31 in straight sets in front of a crowd of 92,003.
That crowd surpassed the world-record for attendance for any womenβs sporting event. The Huskers will enter the match with a record of 18-0Β overall and 9-0 in the Big Ten.
Wisconsin also holds an 18-0 overall mark with a 9-0 record in the conference.Β The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country will play this Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in Lincoln and can be seen on the Big Ten Network.
