"No. 1 Nebraska displayed every skill that's made it a powerhouse program - the offense attacked every part of the court, defense never gave up on the ball and the fans showed up at the Galen Center. In front of a sellout crowd of 9,072, USC's nine-match win streak came to an end with a straight-set loss to Nebraska (26-0, 16-0 Big Ten)."
""I just felt like the game was a little too fast for us today," USC coach Brad Keller said. "I thought it was slow for them and fast for us." The No. 5 Trojans never led and were limited to a 20% point scoring percentage throughout the match. USC (20-6, 11-5) led in attacks, but its 16 errors were costly during the 25-13, 25-16, 25-20 loss to the Cornhuskers."
""Nebraska is the real deal," Keller said. "They are really, really good and they showed that today from point one to the very end. They're hitting .400 and they held us down to .156, that kind of shows you a lot of where they were. "Go Big Red Nation deserves credit and they deserve the fact that they travel and they support their team.""
