Are they doing any extra promotions or "free entry with football ticket" to help attendance? I didn't see anything on GOPSUSports. This (and the last weekend) are the matches they need it the most.

Do we know whether Kaitlyn Hord will be back from her injury?
If not, how long will she be out? Anyone?
Perhaps she be out as long as Nia Reed was announced to be out. LOL!

We do not match up well with Nebraska so the game becomes a lot more mental than some others. Usually the team with the best serving and passing comes out on top. We have been improving and hopefully can have an exceptional performance. With so many freshmen you are surprised in good and not-so-good ways. Even though every match is important I think we will be playing our best ball at season end (which is Coach's goal).
I think this year we are a very good serving and passing team. What we lack is terminating hitters, with the exception of Reed. Foecke gives the Huskers the advantage.

Maybe we could put Foecke on an Uber to Jersey Shore? |

I'd pay for that.

After the way Minnesota beat Nebraska on the Husker's own court, I would expect Nebraska to be extra motivated against us tonight. I just hope the travel here has made them weary and we can hold on for the win.

What happened to the football team? We have always played our best at home. |
