Lincoln, Neb. - The No. 2 Nebraska volleyball team defeated Oklahoma, 30-21, 30-24, 30-16, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Saturday afternoon before 8,976 fans, the largest crowd in NCAA Division I volleyball this season.
Nebraska, which has broken the all-time NCAA regular-season attendance record three times at the Devaney Center, shattered the nation's previous 2001 attendance mark of 7,723, which was set Sept. 2 when Hawaii hosted UCLA. The Huskers normally play in the 4,200-seat NU Coliseum.
"When you talk to a lot of the kids at this match, they're from all around the state," Nebraska Coach John Cook said. "This is the only time this season that a lot of people are going to see us play, so I think it's very important for our program and for the state to play this match at Devaney each year.
"The logistics aren't easy. It makes things difficult on the basketball teams and our event staff, and it isn't easy for us to find more than one date that we can play here, but it's something that means a lot. We appreciate the support we receive from the fans."
Anna Schrad and Nancy Metcalf combined for 20 kills and 14 digs to help the Huskers improve to 13-1 overall and 6-0 in the Big 12 Conference. Schrad swung for a season-best .556 hitting percentage, tallying 10 kills with zero errors on 18 attacks.
Overall, the Huskers hit .396 under junior setter Greichaly Cepero, who posted five kills, seven digs, three blocks and 38 assists. Six Huskers hit .333 or better, including Schrad, Amber Holmquist (seven kills, .500 pct.), Laura Pilakowski (nine kills, .553 pct.), Jenny Kropp (seven kills, .445 pct.), Pam Krejci (one kill, 1.000 pct.) and Sara Westling (three kills, .333 pct.).
After taking game one, 30-21, the Huskers started slowly in game two, as Oklahoma cut the lead to one with two kills from Denise Griffin and one from Candace Woods. But kills from Metcalf and Cepero gave NU a 19-16 advantage, and the Sooners never got closer than that. Nebraska. A service error by OU forced a game-point situation for the Huskers, and Nebraska wrapped up the 30-24 second-game victory on a kill by Metcalf.
In game three, Cook used a season-high 13 players. Nine Huskers recorded a kill in the third game, and NU hit .441 in the period.
Logan Pierce posted a match-high 11 kills for Oklahoma, which fell to 2-13 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12.
Nebraska returns to action Wednesday, Sept. 10, when it plays host to Kansas in a 7 p.m. match at the NU Coliseum. The match will be televised live by NETV.
