Huskers Rally to Reverse Sweep No. 7 Kentucky

On Sunday, Nebraska replaced its libero as Olivia Mauch took over to stabilize defense, sparking a comeback that led to a 24-26, 20-25, 25-19, 25-23, 15-8 win over Kentucky at Bridgestone Arena.
After uneven passing in the opening sets, assistant coach Jaylen Reyes said coaches tweaked the lineup to tighten serve-receive and team defense heading into the third set.
Statistically, Nebraska's defense held firm as the team out-dug Kentucky 73 to 60 and posted a.221 team hitting percentage versus Kentucky's.168.
The win moves Nebraska Huskers to 4-0, marking their first reverse sweep since Nov. 3, 2023, as they return home Friday for a doubleheader against Wright State and California.
The victory, aired nationally on ABC, showcased head coach Dani Busboom Kelly's decisive lineup changes Sunday and reinforced the program resilience and culture with multiple top‑10 wins early this season.
