Nebraska remains the hunted in women's volleyball.
For the third consecutive week, Harper Murray and Co. came in at No. 1 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll, which was released on Monday, Sept. 14. The Cornhuskers are one of eight Big Ten teams in this week's poll.
Nebraska went a perfect 3-0 since the previous poll was released, highlighted by a convincing straight-set sweep of then-No. 20 Baylor and a four-set win over Georgia Tech.

In its win over Baylor, Manaia Ogbechie and Murray recorded 12 kills each while setter Bergen Reilly finished with a season-high 41 assists and nine digs. Reilly sealed the sweep for the Cornhuskers with one of her team-high three aces.
The victory over Georgia Tech was particularly notable,
as Nebraska dropped the first set — its first of the season. The Cornhuskers responded by reverse-sweeping the Yellow Jackets, capped with a dominant 25-12 fourth-set win.
