Football - Columbus (3-1) Vs. North Platte (0-4)

Story by NU Athletic Communication

The Nebraska soccer team conceded two goals in less than a minute and fell to the Michigan Wolverines, 2-1, on Thursday evening at Barbara Hibner Stadium.&nbsp;

That was the Huskers’ first loss of the season, and NU fell to 5-1-5 (0-1-3 Big Ten). Michigan improved to 4-6-1 (1-2-1 Big Ten).&nbsp;

The Big Red held the advantage in shots (24-8), shots on goal (10-5) and corner kicks (6-3) but only converted one goal, a shot into the top left of the goal by freshman Carson Bohonek in the 35th minute. Bohonek was assisted on the goal by fellow first-years Sadie Sant and Mila Brach.

Cece Villa (4-1-5) took the loss in goal, after allowing two scores by the Wolverines. Villa tallied three saves in the net.&nbsp;

Sant took five shots, including three on goal for Nebraska. Kayma Carpenter also had five shots and Sadie Waite added four. Sant, Ella Rudney and Ellie Felt picked up yellow cards, as Michigan had nine fouls to the Huskers’ 14.&nbsp;

NU was on the offensive in the first half, taking 12 shots to only three by UM. The Wolverines’ two goals came in the 48th and 49th minutes of the game, and the Big Red failed to net the equalizer despite taking 11 shots after Michigan took the lead.&nbsp;

Nebraska will continue play at Barbara Hibner Stadium and host the No. 8 Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday, Sept. 28. The match is set to kick off at 1:05 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on B1G+. Fans can purchase tickets at <a href="http://huskers.com/tickets">huskers.com/tickets</a>.

LINCOLN, Neb. - The No. 1 Nebraska volleyball team opened Big Ten play with a 25-22, 25-10, 25-13 sweep of Michigan on Wednesday in front of 8,543 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.&nbsp;

The Huskers (11-0, 1-0 Big Ten) hit .380 and held the Wolverines (10-2, 0-1 Big Ten) to .108 hitting.&nbsp;

Harper Murray tallied 11 kills and hit .391 with seven digs and two blocks. Virginia Adriano recorded 10 kills on .444 hitting and added three blocks. Rebekah Allick had nine kills with two blocks, while Andi Jackson tallied eight kills on .778 hitting with three blocks.&nbsp;

Bergen Reilly notched 28 assists, nine digs, five kills and an ace. Reilly passed her head coach, Dani Busboom Kelly, for fifth on NU's career assists list in the rally scoring era (2,950).&nbsp;

Olivia Mauch had a team-high 11 digs.&nbsp;

Nebraska got five aces from five different players, and the Big Red nearly doubled up Michigan in kills, 47-24. The Huskers had 37 digs to 24 for the Wolverines.&nbsp;

Set 1: Jackson and Murray had kills, and Allick recorded back-to-back kills for an 8-5 NU lead. The Huskers went on a 5-0 run with Adriano serving to go up 16-9. Jackson and Murray each had two kills in that run. Landfair and Allick posted kills to get to 21-16, but Michigan fought back to within 22-21. A Michigan attacking error and Landfair kill earned set point, and Nebraska won 25-22 on a Michigan service error.&nbsp;

Set 2: The Huskers scored the first five points with Adriano posting three kills and a block with Jackson. Mauch served an ace during her run. Jackson and Murray added kills for an 8-1 lead that forced a Michigan timeout. Sigler hammered a kill from the back row, and Jackson added another before a Murray ace helped the Huskers go up 12-2. The Wolverines scored five of the next six to cut it to 13-7 and eventually got as close as five at 14-9. But a pair of Michigan errors and kills by Murray, Adriano and Allick put NU up 20-9 with Landfair serving the 6-0 run. After Michigan ended the run, Adriano and Jackson posted kills, and Jackson and Murray had a block before a Murray kill earned set point. Adriano put it away, 25-10, with her sixth kill of the set. The Huskers hit .565 in set two and held Michigan to .000.&nbsp;

Set 3: NU separated from an 8-8 tie with a 7-0 run served by Reilly. Allick had two kills and a block with Adriano in that stretch, while Landfair posted a kill and Reilly served an ace. Another kill by Adriano, an ace by Landfair and a kill by Murray increased the lead to 20-9 after another run served by Landfair. An ace by Campbell Flynn gave the Huskers match point, and NU won 25-13. NU hit .346 in the final set, while Michigan hit -.033.&nbsp;

Lincoln - Caden Mickelson fired an eight-under par 134 through 36 holes to lead the Nebraska men's golf team to the top of the team standings after the first day of the Git-R-Done Invitational at Firethorn Golf Club on Monday.

Mickelson (pronounced MIKE-ull-son), a true freshman from Kansas City, fired an opening-round 66 (-5) before adding a second-round 68 (-3) on the 7,077-yard, par-71 layout at Firethorn. He ended the day in second individually, two shots back of tournament leader Alex Lindstrom from Kansas State. Lindstrom unleashed an opening-round 63 (-8), before adding a 69 (-2) to sit two shots ahead of Mickelson on the leader board.

Junior Rudy Sautron matched Mickelson stroke-for-stroke in the opening round with a 66 (-5) before ending the day with a 70 (-1) to sit alone in third individually at 136 (-6).

The Huskers also received a strong opening-day performance from Brodie Cunningham. The sophomore from Glasgow, Scotland, carded rounds of even-par 71 and 67 (-4) to close the day in a tie for fourth at 138 (-4).&nbsp;

As a team, the Huskers posted a 549 (-19) over two rounds, including an opening-round 272 (-12), before a second-round 277 (-7). The Big Red own a 12-stroke lead over Kansas State, which finished the day at 561 (-7) with rounds of 275 and 286. Iowa State enters Tuesday's final round at third in the team standings at 562 (-6), while Wichita State sits in fourth at 565 (-3).

In addition to the three Huskers in the top five of the individual standings, Lincoln freshman Thomas Bryson enters Tuesday's final round in the top 10, after firing a second-round 67 (-4). He closed the day at 139 (-3) in a tie for seventh place while playing outside Nebraska's lineup.

Redshirt junior Evan McDermott also worked his way into the top 15 in the individual standings, with rounds of 69 (-2) and 72 (+1) to end the day at 141 (-1) in a tie for 14th.

The Git-R-Done Invitational will conclude with Tuesday's final round beginning at 8 a.m. (CT).

Three Huskers enter Final Round among Top Five individuals

Football - North Platte (0-3) Vs. Lincoln Northeast (3-0)

With just over 30 seconds left in the match, senior defender Lauryn Anglim took a corner kick straight into the net to help the Nebraska soccer team draw, 1-1, with the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions on Thursday evening in University Park, Pa.

Anglim took a shot on goal with less than a minute to go, which was tipped out of play by PSU’s goalie, to lead to the NU corner kick. The senior then curved the corner kick into the top left corner of the net to make the score 1-1.

The draw preserved the Huskers’ (5-0-4, 0-0-2 Big Ten) undefeated season. Penn State moved to 5-2-2 on the season with a 1-0-1 mark in conference competition.

The game was a defensive battle, as the Big Red took eight shots to Penn State’s nine. NU outdid the Nittany Lions in shots on goal, 4-3. Nebraska also had seven corner kick opportunities and only allowed one for PSU. Anglim led the Huskers with two shots, both on goal. Sadie Waite and Ella Rudney each added a shot on goal.&nbsp;

Cece Villa (4-0-4) played all 90 minutes in goal and logged two saves.&nbsp;

Penn State took a 1-0 lead into the break after a Kaitlyn MacBean goal.&nbsp;

The Huskers took just two shots in the first period, both of which were on goal. Ella Rudney had a scoring opportunity as the first half clock wound down, but her shot was saved by the Nittany Lion goalkeeper.&nbsp;

The Big Red will finish out its road trip with a match against the No. 22 Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday, Sept. 21. The contest will kick off at 11 a.m. (CT) and will be streamed on B1G+.

Keanrey, Neb. – The fifth-ranked Nebraska Kearney volleyball team got 28 combined kills from outsides Emilee Lane and Carly Purdy to sweep Truman State (-15, -20, -17) Thursday night in Kirksville, Mo.

This was the first of three matches in three days for UNK (10-0) as they travel to Illinois-Springfield Friday night and face Maryville (Mo.) Saturday morning at UIS.

The TSU Bulldogs (2-7) are glad they are a former MIAA member as they were previously swept by Emporia, Washburn, Missouri Western and Pitt State while owning a four-set win over Newman.

Lane (Hays, Kan.) and Purdy (North Platte) continued their torrid start to the season as they reached their combined kill total in 55 swings (.382 pct.). Purdy went for 16 kills and added two digs and two solo blocks with Lane having three digs. Next, sophomore right side Brynn Stowell (Olathe, Kan.) hit .348 and reached 11 kills for a second straight match with All-American setter Peyton Neff (North Platte) helping UNK hit .286 and seeing seven teammates record a kill. She finished with 42 assists, seven digs, two kills and an ace.

Defensively, senior DS Aleena Peterson (Kansas City, Mo.) had the second most digs of her Loper career (12) with junior Ellie Spang (Ft. Wayne, Ind.) at nine, two assists and a rare kill. Finally, Truman was led by senior middle Makayla Way (10 kills, .588 pct., three blocks and two digs).

UNK and the UIS Prairie Stars have met just once before, a Loper sweep in 2015 at Buckle court.

Area High School Sports scores from 9-18

Nebraska high school football scheduling has been a topic of conversation throughout the state for some time.&nbsp;

Thursday, the NSAA Board of Directors voted unanimously (8-0) to approve schedule changes for Class A football in the upcoming two-year cycle (2026-27).&nbsp;

Those changes include eliminating districts and using the previous two seasons’ wild card points as part of the guidance the NSAA, specifically NSAA Assistant Director Nate Neuhaus, uses to create the next two-year scheduling cycle.&nbsp;

Football is the only NSAA-sanctioned sport that uses the NSAA to create a statewide schedule for all schools.&nbsp;

The reason for the Approved Ruling, submission by the working competition committee (Class A school administrators), is the timing.&nbsp;

An Approved Ruling can circumvent the NSAA’s legislative process if a majority of schools in the specific class (A, B, C1, D1, D2, D6) are in agreement. For example, the board approved using shot clocks in basketball with an Approved Ruling by Class A schools only at first.&nbsp;

In the most recent scheduling cycle (2024-25), the NSAA requested schools make a declaration of participation or classification (11-man, 8-man, 6-man) before Nov. 30, 2023.&nbsp;

After collecting that data, district assignments for the 2024-25 football season were made using the previous two years’ wild card points and the serpentine method to put teams in their five or six districts, with the district champion and runner-up being automatic qualifiers to the state playoffs.

With the changes, the automatic qualifiers are gone, the top 16 teams in wild card points will make the Class A playoffs.&nbsp;

On Dec. 12, 2023, classifications and district assignments for the 2024 and 2025 football seasons were released.&nbsp;Schools were then asked to submit a priority list of non-district schools they would like to have on their 2024 and 2025 football schedules.&nbsp;

The one addition to the Approved Ruling that the board approved on Thursday is for the upcoming scheduling cycle. Schools will expand their priority list of opponents from four or five in previous years to, in some cases, seven or eight.Neuhaus and the staff at the NSAA will then use the wild card points from the previous two seasons to create evenly matched schedules using the priority lists as guidance. One thing that will do is keep traditional rivalries.&nbsp;

The elimination of districts will balance the schedules into tiers or buckets, if you will. Those will be the top 10-14 teams, depending on the number of schools in Class A each cycle.

With this approved for the 2026-27 scheduling cycle, Class A schools will play a schedule similar to what they have played the first four weeks of the season in the current scheduling cycle and eliminate the serpentine method, which forced lopsided matchups the last five weeks of the season.&nbsp;

Next for the NSAA staff is to establish football schedules for the 2026 and 2027 football seasons in all classes (A, B, C1, D1, D2, D3, D6) and release those on Feb. 11, 2026.

Caden Mickelson added three consistent rounds of 72 (+1) to finish at 216 (+3) in a tie for 40th in the 96-player field.
