After almost 24 hours of rainfall in Lincoln, the city ended up getting around 6.5 inches of rain and lots of flooding to deal with.It’s a good thing this match was in Happy Valley tonight since Antelope Creek, right by the Devaney Center, flooded and took out several walking paths to the arena and almost took out the bridge as well.As for many people in the Lincoln metro, and surrounding areas, flood water was everywhere. I was, unfortunately, one of those people as well taking water in our basement. With a shop vac, lots of fans, and a dehumidifier running, the water will hopefully be dried out soon.The Huskers quickly reminded the Nittany Lions who runs the conference by sweeping them in about an hour and a half of game time. While we won’t get 2 matchups this season, this one will suffice seeing Caroline Jurevicius barely play and Whitney Lauenstein about pop a blood vessel in her head thinking the 24th point in the 3rd was in.Teraya Sigler was back in full swing tonight. She played all 3 matches and looked great like she didn’t even have an injury last week. We had another injury scare early in the match as Bergen Reilly landed on a Penn State players foot twisting hers. She got back up and didn’t miss a point.Nebraska came out firing on all cylinders leaving Penn State scattering to figure out how to fight back when they were already down 7-1. PSU clawed their way back to make it 19-18, in the 1st set, but Nebraska is an amazing red zone team and only allowed 2 more points before closing out the set.The Huskers and Nittany Lions played sets 2 and 3 pretty evenly, going back and forth, but Nebraska always found their way to 15 first and then to 20, the red zone, first. They always close in the red zone, and that didn’t change today.One of the best rallies came in the 2nd when Campbell Flynn, with the help of Laney Choboy, came in to be a serving sub and was basically another DS in the back row as she flung herself in order to keep a ball up and help get the team a kill. On the very next point, Harper Murray had some words for PSU as she killed a ball..@LaneyChoboy what a pick up!! 😤GO BIG RED!!! pic.twitter.com/oaYypYudA2— Nebraska Volleyball (@HuskerVB) October 1, 2026B1G Network had a questionable announcer tonight, that I hadn’t seen before, saying that Whitney Lauenstein was teammates with Murray and Andi Jackson among other things. A quick fact check will let you know that Lauenstein’s last season at NE was 2022 and this was the senior class’ senior year of high school. The reffing also got questionable near the end of the match. An obvi
