Dear Readers~
On December 13, 2018 the second semifinal game of the NCAA women's indoor volleyball national finals happened at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This game was #3 Illinois going against #7 Nebraska. It was a close game so stay tuned for the results.
The first set went in favor of Illinois, ending 25-22. The second set also went in favor of Illinois, ending 25-16. Nebraska knew that if they wanted to make it to the finals they would have to win the next 3 sets. The third set ended 25-23, in favor of Nebraska. The fourth set ended 25-20, also in favor of Nebraska, and also causing a 5th set. That set ended 15-11, with Nebraska wining and moving on to the finals against #1 Stanford on December 15, 2018.
The leader for most kills goes to Jaqueline Quade, from Illinois, with 28, with 2 athletes from Nebraska each got 19 blocks. They were Mikaela Foecke and Lexi Sun. Those 2 from Nebraska also tied in aces because each athlete got 2, while Jordan Poulter, of Illinois, lead the game with 4 aces alone. The athlete with the most blocks was Ali Bastianelli, from Illinois, with 5 while Calli Schuarzenback led Nebraska with 3. The leaders for assists on each team tied at 46. Illinois had Jordan Poulter while Nebraska had Nicklin Hames. The leader in digs was Morgan O'Brien, from Illinois, with 27, while Kenzie Maloney led Nebraska with 20.
That concludes the second part of my final four blog. Don't forget that part 1 is Stanford against BYU, also at the Target Center in Minneapolis. If you have any friends that are Nebraska or Illinois fans, feel free to share this with them. Until next time, Miller out.
