SMU Sweeps No. 2 Nebraska in Historic Women's Volleyball Upset

A David vs. Goliath Victory for the Mustangs

In a stunning upset, the SMU Mustangs swept the No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers in three straight sets (25-23, 25-18, 25-16) on Friday night at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas.

The Mustangs' Triumph

The Mustangs, who entered the match with a 1-4 record, shocked the volleyball world with their dominant performance against the heavily favored Cornhuskers.

SMU's offense was led by senior outside hitter Morgan Heise, who recorded a team-high 12 kills. Junior middle blocker Savannah Davison and sophomore outside hitter Jadyn Bauss added 10 kills apiece.

The Mustangs' defense was equally impressive, holding Nebraska to a .176 hitting percentage. Senior libero Tatum Ballard led the back line with 15 digs.

Nebraska's Disappointment

Nebraska, the defending national champions, suffered their first loss of the season in the upset.

The Cornhuskers struggled offensively, hitting just .142 as a team. Freshman outside hitter Madi Kubik led Nebraska with 11 kills, but no other player recorded more than six.

Nebraska's defense also struggled, allowing SMU to hit .267 in the match.

A Historic Upset

SMU's victory over Nebraska marks one of the biggest upsets in recent women's volleyball history.

It is the first time that an unranked team has defeated a top-two ranked team in women's volleyball since 2015.

The Mustangs' victory also snapped Nebraska's 20-match winning streak and dropped the Cornhuskers to 4-1 on the season.

Conclusion

SMU's historic upset over Nebraska is a testament to the Mustangs' hard work and determination.

The victory is a major boost for the Mustangs' confidence and a sign that they are a team to watch this season.

Nebraska, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from the upset and regain their status as the top team in the country.
