Minnesota vs Creighton Volleyball In Photos
| Jon Johnston Creighton played the Gophers tough, but it just wasn’t enough in the end. What is this? Not one, but two articles about Creighton volleyball? Are we a Creighton site now? Are we Jayskers? Let’s not get crazy. Perhaps it’s a celebration that the state of Nebraska produces high-level athletes in a collegiate sport, more than enough to fill one team. And perhaps, sometimes, I can have a soft spot in my heart for them high-falootin’ people in Omaha. Or maybe I just wanted... |

Volleyball Recap: Minnesota vs Creighton
| Jon Johnston Creighton had a great season, came to play tonight but they met the Minnesota block in the fifth set Creighton played fearless.

NCAA Volleyball: Nebraska Sends Ball State Home
| Jon Johnston An efficient three set win for the Huskers Nebraska sent Ball State home in the first round of the NCAA volleyball tournament, 25-13, 25-18, 25-10.

The Huskers had 17 blocks. Madi Kubik had a particularly good night hitting .688 and digging 7 balls. What a way to start your post-season... |
