On the court: A day after an uneven performance in the first round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, the Huskers stormed through an overmatched Northern Iowa squad. Nebraska had a blistering hitting percentage of .423 in sweeping the Panthers 30-16, 30-16 and 30-14. Jordan Larson led the way with 16 kills, and the team had a mere 13 errors on 104 attacks.
