The Texas A&M Volleyball Team shocked the Uni
versity of Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday, defeating
the eighth-ranked defending Big 12 champions 15-3,
13-15, 15-5, 13-15, 15-13, in front of a crowd of 1,734
at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The win moves the Aggies to 12-2 overall and 3-1
in Big 12 play.
Senior outside hitter Summer Strickland and se
nior middle blocker Amber Woolsey set the tone ear
ly, posting the first kills of the game. With the score
tied at two, a block by senior middle blocker Laurie
Leahy and sophomore setter Jenna Moskovic broke a
long string of sideouts and gave A&M the momentum.
Nebraska (10-4, 2-2) called its first timeout with
the Aggies leading, 4-2. The Cornhuskers scored their
third point of the game with a service ace, but the Ag
gies answered, scoring the next three points and forc
ing Nebraska to take its second timeout with a 13-3
A&M lead.
A Nebraska hitting error brought game point, and
Woolsey ended game one with a kill.
The Aggies jumped to a 5-1 lead in game two be
fore Nebraska called a timeout following a service ace
from senior outside hitter Celia Howes. The Corn
huskers fought their way back to within one, forcing
an A&M timeout.
Woolsey and Strickland helped push the Aggies’
lead up to 11-8, but Nebraska would not give up, and
an A&M hitting error tied the game at 13.
An Aggie miscue then gave the Cornhuskers game
point, and a Nebraska kill brought the hard-fought
game two to an end.
“We didn't necessarily lay down and die,” Strick
land said. “It’s not like we stopped trying or anything.
We just lost our focus.”
Nebraska carried its momentum into game three
with a 4-0 run, but the Aggies refocused after a time
out as a kill by Howes and a dig by Moskovic got the
Aggies back in the game.
A&M was unstoppable from that point on, going
on an 11-0 run to end the third game.
A Nebraska block put the first point on the board
in game four, but a kill by Moskovic and blocks from
Woolsey and Howes gave the Aggies the lead, but, the
Cornhuskers regained the lead with an offensive run
by putting down five kills.
With Nebraska up 8-4, A&M called a timeout and
began clawing its way back behind kills from Strick
land and Leahy. A Nebraska hitting error tied the
score at 12, forcing a Cornhuskers timeout.
A huge block by Woolsey and sophomore outside
hitter Michelle Cole put the Aggies up by one, but Ne
braska tied the game with a service ace.
A&M could not garner any more points, and Ne
braska went on to win game four.
