Lincoln, Neb.&nbsp;- Despite outshooting the Huskies 25-9, the Nebraska soccer team fell 2-0 to Washington at home on Senior Sunday.&nbsp;

Nebraska also held the advantage in corners (7-0), but Washington led in shots on goal (7-5) and saves (7-3), as the Huskers dropped to 5-10-1 (2-7-1 Big Ten) on the season and Washington improved to 9-5-2 (6-4-0 Big Ten).&nbsp;

Nebraska was on the offensive attack early, as Sarah Weber tallied the opening two shots of the game, but it was Washington that recorded the first finish for either team. In the seventh minute, Ioanna Papatheodorou scored off assists from Samiah Shell and Kelsey Branson.

Going into the half, the Huskers held the lead in shots (14-7) and corners (4-0), while the Huskies tallied one more shot on goal (4-3). Individually, Weber led the way for the Huskers with six shots and freshman Reese Snowden added three of her own. Abbey Schwarz, Lauryn Anglim and Gwen Lane each recorded a shot on frame.

In the second half, the Huskers recorded 11 shots, including a few late chances to score, but Washington’s Alex Buck stretched the Huskie lead to 2-0 after a turnover in the Husker backfield in the 68th minute.&nbsp;

Weber’s nine shots on the day brings her career total to 330, just shy of Meghan Anderson in second place in the Husker record books. Overall, 10 Huskers recorded at least one shot, and two Huskers played the complete game, Haley Peterson and Anglim.&nbsp;

The Huskers wrap up regular season play as they welcome Indiana to Hibner Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27. Action is slated for 1:05 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on Big Ten Plus.

Columbus, Neb. – North Platte Community College volleyball fell to Central Community College in straight sets to close out Region IX regular season play on Thursday night.

In the loss, the Knights solidify the second seed in the Region IX postseason tournament and will host the opening round on Oct. 30.

Raiders used a 3-0 run to pull away in the opening moments of the first set. Central continued to hold the momentum as they stretched the margin to 20-11. A kill by Ella Rotherham helped North Platte cut into the deficit, but three straight points anchored by back-to-back aces secured the set for the Raiders.

North Platte took an early 5-2 lead on a kill by Nya Lual. Central fought back to knot the set up at five before taking the lead on an attacking error by the Knights. The margin remained close until a 6-0 run pushed the Raiders out to a 19-12 advantage. North Platte rallied to cut the margin to 24-21, but Central scored their final point to take a two-set lead.

North Platte kept the game tight early, before a 3-0 run propelled the black and gold out to an 11-8 lead. The game remained close as the lead changed hands three more times in the closing stages of the set. Trailing 19-18, North Platte turned to Zoe Maher who bested the defense three straight times to give the Knights a two-point advantage. Raiders responded with a 4-0 run, before eventually closing the set out on a kill by Lauryn Scott.

Maher led the way with 12 kills on 36 swings and two digs, while Jaelyn Dicke added 22 digs, 10 kills and one ace.

North Platte (11-22) will hit the road for their final road game of the season on Saturday. Serve against Lamar Community College is set for 3 p.m. in Lamar, Colo.

Volleyball - McCook @ NPHS Bulldogs

OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;– The&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas, Nebraska’s professional volleyball team and first Pro Volleyball Champions, set their sights on the&nbsp;Pro Volleyball Federation Draft&nbsp;which is to be held on Monday, November 25 starting at 11 a.m. CDT.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The PVF Draft will take place over five rounds with each team having one selection per round. However, the Supernovas are one of only two teams to have more than five selections as Omaha acquired San Diego’s second round pick last year in exchange for outside hitter Lindsey Vander Weide.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Supernovas will have four picks in the top 20 starting with the final pick of the first round at No. 8 overall. Omaha will follow up with two picks in the second round at No. 10 and No. 15 overall. The Supernovas will select third in the third round at No. 19, sixth in round four at No. 30 and fifth in round five at No. 37.&nbsp;

“The coaches and league officials thought it was important for us to hold the draft prior to the start of training camp,” noted&nbsp;Laura “Bird” Kuhn,&nbsp;head coach of the 2024 PVF Champion Omaha Supernovas. “The timing of our draft will allow college draftees the ability to focus their attention on the postseason, as well as potentially attend training camp and be positioned for success when they complete their collegiate season.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

PVF’s eighth and newest franchise, the Indy Ignite, was awarded the No. 1 overall pick before a lottery determined picks two through four. The remainder of the first round was set based on the 2024 postseason finish, which was won by the Supernovas in a straight-set sweep over the Grand Rapids Rise on May 18, 2024, at the&nbsp;CHI Health Center.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A separate lottery was used for every round two through five to set the draft order, which was held on October 15. The Supernovas, along with each team, will draft from local markets with real-time updates, plus video highlights of picks available after the draft’s conclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Huskers announce 2025 Men’s Gymnastics Schedule

Facing an early four-run deficit, the Red team used a seven-run outburst in the bottom of the fourth inning to post a 7-5 win and grab a 2-1 lead in the Red-White Series on Monday afternoon at Hawks Field.

Red had seven runs on six hits and an error, while White totaled five runs on nine hits.

Gavin Blachowicz earned the win out of the bullpen, dealing 2.1 shutout innings with one hit, a strikeout and one walk. Luke Broderick collected the save after pitching the final 1.2 innings in shutout fashion. Will Walsh went three innings in the start, allowing four runs on eight hits with a pair of punchouts.

White’s Jackson Brockett took the loss after giving up six runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks in 3.2 innings of work. Pryce Bender surrendered a run on two hits in 1.1 innings out of the bullpen, while J’Shawn Unger tossed one scoreless inning of relief.

Red’s Hayden Lewis went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. Cayden Brumbaugh was 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Riley Silva and Gabe Swansen tallied a hit and an RBI each, while Cael Frost added a hit.

Robby Bolin, Case Sanderson and Will Jesske led the White offense with two hits apiece. Dylan Carey, Max Buettenback and TJ Coats recorded one hit.

The White offense went to work early, plating three runs on four hits in the opening frame. Consecutive one-out singles from Bolin and Carey had runners on first and third, before Buettenback lined an RBI double into the left-center gap to bring home Bolin.

Carey trotted home on a passed ball, while Sanderson smacked an RBI to right field to score Buettenback and give the visiting team a 3-0 advantage in the first.

Sanderson ripped a two-out double down the right-field line and later came around to score on an RBI single from Jesske to build the lead to 4-0 in the top of the third.

Red overcame the four-run deficit with a seven-run outburst with five hits in the bottom of the fourth to take a 7-5 lead with three innings to play. All seven runs were scored with two outs in the inning, beginning with a sacrifice fly from Cotton and an RBI double from Lewis that cut the deficit to 4-2.

With the bases loaded, Brumbaugh smacked the 1-1 pitch to right for a bases-clearing three-RBI double that gave Red its first lead of the afternoon. RBI singles from Silva and Swansen grew the lead to three for the Red team in the bottom of the fourth.

A leadoff walk to Rhett Stokes began the seventh, while Stokes later scored when Carey lifted a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left field to bring the White squad within a pair of runs in the final inning.

Broderick struck out the next batter to preserve the 7-5 win for the Red team.

The Red-White Series continues tomorrow afternoon at 3:05 p.m. at Hawks Field.

Softball - A-3 District Softball Day 2 #4 North Platte Bulldogs Vs. #3 Omaha Central

Kearney, Neb. –&nbsp;Sophomore middle&nbsp;Mia Berg&nbsp;had a career-high 19 kills and graduate libero&nbsp;Alli Wiese&nbsp;reached 20 digs for a fourth straight match to help third-ranked Nebraska Kearney get past Fort Hays State in four sets (<a target="_blank" href="https://lopers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/stats/2024/fort-hays-state/boxscore/7961">25-27, -17, -22, -16</a>) Tuesday night in Kansas.

This is the first of two meetings between the Lopers (17-0, 5-0) and Tigers (9-5, 1-4) as Hays comes to Buckle Court on Oct. 25.

To beat its rival for a 36th consecutive time, UNK had 23 more kills and dug up 72 balls on a hot night in Gross Memorial Coliseum. However, a physical Tiger squad managed 15.0 team blocks, the most by a Loper opponent this season. The blue &amp; gold also had 12 unforced attack errors and three service miscues.

"I had butterflies for this match. I watched them play Missouri Western and give them all kinds of trouble," said UNK head coach&nbsp;Rick Squiers&nbsp;on the KRVN radio show. "They are a much-improved Fort Hays State team. Some of the things they haven't done well in the past, like serving and passing, are better now. They put a ton of pressure on you from the service line."

Hays managed to take the opening set despite UNK having 22 kills. The Tigers overcame that by hitting .317 (16-3-41), taking advantage of three service errors and recording five team blocks. They held several early leads before UNK turned the tide and moved ahead by three at 21-18. However, the Tigers closed on a 9-4 run that featured two blocks and four unforced Loper errors.

"They are big, they are physical. They are just not yet at a point where I think they believe and if they were, I think we would've been in trouble in this one," said Squiers. "The match may have gone differently had we be able to win the first. I wasn't disappointed that it was close, but I thought we'd clawed our way over the hump."

The black &amp; gold then jumped out to an 11-5 lead in the fourth, highlighted by five kills and three blocks. Sophomore outside&nbsp;Carly Purdy&nbsp;(North Platte) entered, quickly got a kill and then senior right side&nbsp;Lauren Taubenheim&nbsp;(Lincoln Pius) served up seven straight points. The Lopers didn't trail again.

"We showed a lot of grit tonight especially in the fourth. Nothing was looking good and part of the reason we even brought some people into the match was because, just in case we went to a fifth, they would at least be in the flow," said Squiers. "We were just stuck in that rotation (down 11-5) and couldn't get anything going."

Berg (Eureka, Mo.) reached her kill tally in 42 swings (.286) with her previous career high coming just last Saturday vs. Northwest Missouri (16). Next, Purdy and junior middle&nbsp;Trista Marx&nbsp;(Limon, Colo.) both had four kills in the fourth with outsides&nbsp;Emilee Lane&nbsp;(Hays, Kan.) and&nbsp;Asha Regier&nbsp;(Newton, Kan.) combining for 25 more. In her return home, Lane hit .308 and was two shy of her career-high kill total.

Also on offense, junior middle&nbsp;Abby Rose&nbsp;(Lindsborg, Kan.) hit .421 and had nine kills.&nbsp;UNK out hit FHSU by 66 points with setter&nbsp;Peyton Neff&nbsp;(North Platte) at 62 assists, nine digs, two block assists and a kill. Finally, Wiese (Mattawan, Mich.) got to an even 20 balls with Taubenheim providing 14 more digs. At the net Berg had a team-best four stuffs.

Hays was led by Gracie Rains (13 kills and four blocks), Claire Olson (13 kills, .500 pct., six blocks) and Taytum Lovesee (six kills and 11 blocks).

UNK hosts Emporia State and Washburn this weekend.&nbsp;&nbsp;

UNK Volleyball: #3 Lopers Start Busy Week with 4-Set Win at Hays

North Platte, Neb. – Knights avenged an earlier season loss by defeating Hastings College JV in four sets on Tuesday night.

North Platte finished the night with three players in double-digit kills as Jaelyn Dicke led the way with 14. Nya Lual tallied 11 kills, while Zoe Maher added 10 of her own. Aubrey Grant dished out a season best 48 assists to accompany her three kills on the night.

The black and gold matched the Broncos early, until a 7-1 run helped North Platte distance themselves late in the opening set. Hastings rallied with a 5-1 run to pull back within three but kills from Dicke and Lual helped seal the first set, 25-20.

Knights got out to a strong start in the second set, but the Broncos once again rallied to knot the set at ten. Hastings continued to swing the momentum in their favor as they began to pull away at the midway point of the set. Broncos continued to maintain their lead down the stretch to even the match at one set apiece.

Knights dominated the third set as they stormed out to a 7-1 lead. A strong attacking offense carried the home team through the set, as they quickly stretched their lead to nine on a kill by Lual. Hastings could not match the high-powered offense as they dropped the set, 25-12.

The teams battled in the fourth set until a 3-0 run helped Hastings build an 11-8 advantage. A kill by Jocelyn Cheek helped tie the game up at 12-12, before another Broncos spurt gave the road team a two-point edge. North Platte countered with a 6-1 run highlighted by kills from Dicke and Maher to regain control. The Broncos continued to fight and forced a second match point, but a kill by Dicke was all North Platte needed to close out the match.&nbsp;

Knights host No. 4 Northeastern Junior College on Friday. First serve is set for 6 p.m. inside the McDonald-Belton Gymnasium.&nbsp;
