Nebraska slides to No. 4 in national poll after loss to Wisconsin
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska volleyball’s time as the No. 1 team in the nation was short-lived.
Last Wednesday, the Huskers fell to conference rival Wisconsin in three sets. It was the Huskers’ second loss of the season.
Nebraska has now moved down to the No. 4 spot in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll.
Wisconsin moved up to No. 3, while former Big 12 rival Texas claimed the No. 1 spot.

The Huskers did bounce back after last week’s loss to sweep Maryland at home.
