The Cornhuskers dominated Omaha to win 3-0. Nebraska won 25-14, 25-14, and 25-13 in three-straight sets. The 2023 season for Nebraska volleyball is off to a great start.
The official attendance numbers were 92,003. That number also broke a world record for the largest women’s sporting event. It’s awesome that so many Nebraska and Omaha fans came out to support their team.
The next Nebraska game will be against Kansas State on Sept. 3. The game will start at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
