[Husker] Huskers clinch share of Big 12 VB title (big surprise)

[Steve Reichenbach]

At least one Husker team still dominates the conference.

NU looked as strong as I have seen them look (althought I haven't
seen that many matches this year) in Game 1 against KSU, winning
30-16.  They had many errors (12) in Game 2 (hitting only .130)
and dropped Game 2 34-32.  They came back to win Games 3 and 4
30-15 and 30-26.  Game 4 was very close until the end and it appeared
they might have another five game match.  Game 1 was great because
they really spread the ball around, but my thoughts when they
struggle turn to: "Get the ball to Melissa Elmer!" or failing
that to Jen Saleaumua.  Elmer had only 3 errors in 22 attacks.
Saleaumua had only 2 errors in 26 attacks.  Tracy Stalls is
really coming on and had 12 blocks, a career best.  Elmer had
10 blocks and is 8 blocks from the career Big 12 record (728,
Amber Homquist).
