Will Nebraska Volleyball Defeat Creighton Tonight?

On Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, top-ranked Nebraska defeated Creighton in a straight-set sweep before a record crowd of 15,405 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.
The victory extended Nebraska's dominance in the I-80 Rivalry to 25-0 all-time, while Creighton entered with a 5-5 record following losses to Louisville and Rice.
Sophomore Kenna Cogill, filling in for an ill Manaia Ogbechie, recorded eight kills while setter Bergen Reilly tallied 33 assists as Nebraska held Creighton to a-.033 hitting percentage.
Creighton head coach Brian Rosen said the team must "continue to figure out what are the pieces that we can put into place to keep us great," searching for consistency after the loss.
Undefeated Nebraska shifted focus to the Devaney Center, hosting North Carolina on Friday, Sept. 18, and Florida Gulf Coast on Sunday, Sept. 20, to continue its 2026 schedule.
