Playing her final match at the NU Coliseum, Sarah Pavan pounded 15 kills on .481 hitting and second-ranked Nebraska swept Wichita State despite playing most of the night without Christina Houghtelling.

The senior All-American outside hitter did start the match, but had to leave midway through game one. Nebraska, however, didn’t miss a beat with Tara Mueller stepping into the lineup.

The freshman finished with nine kills and Nebraska frustrated Wichita State with 11 service aces.
