Dear Readers~
On December 8, 2018 the Nebraska Cornhuskers took on the Oregon Ducks in a game of Women's indoor volleyball for day 2 of regionals at 5 pm central time. Many didn't think that Oregon would play Nebraska because Oregon's pervious game was against Minnesota, the number 2 ranked team this season, but since Oregon beat Minnesota, they'll be playing Nebraska. The winners would be playing against Illinois in the semifinals at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The first set ended 25-22 Nebraska. Then the second set ended 25-23 Nebraska. Oregon knew that if they wanted to play at the Target center in the semifinals they had to win this third set. The third set ended 25-17 in favor of Nebraska. Nebraska beat Oregon in all 3 sets and advance to the semifinals on December 13, 2018 while Oregon had to go home and end their season.
The leader in Kills is Nebraska's Mikaela Foecke, with 16, while Oregon's Ronika Stone lead her team with 9. The leader in aces was four people, each athlete had 1 ace. Oregon's only ace goes to Lindsey Vander Weide while Nebraska had 3 athletes get 1 ace each. They were Nicklin Aanes, Megan Miller, and Hayley Densberger. The leader for blocks was Nebraska's Lauren Stivrin, with 4, and 3 Oregon players had 1 block each. They were Willow Johnson, Lauren Page, and Ronika Stone. The leader in Assists was Nebraska's Nicklin Hames, with 41, and Oregon's August Raskie, with 33. The athlete with the most Digs is Oregon's Brooke Nuneviller, with 19, and Nebraska's Nicklin Hames, with 15.
That concludes the summary of the regional game of Nebraska vs Oregon. Nebraska won the game so they took on Illiniois at the Target Center in Minneapolis for the semifinals. The other semifinals was Stanford vs BYU. Both of the seminfals were on December 13, 2018 at the Target Center so stay tuned for next time when I talk about a different NCAA women's indoor volleyball game next. Until then, Miller Out. Don't forget to check out some of my previous NCAA blogs about teams like Stanford, USC, and BYU along with blogs about the P1440 Las Vegas Open.
