[Husker] volleyball

[Steve Reichenbach]

Jordan Larson was far from her best.  It was great that she closed
out the match with an ace.  It would not have been fitting if that
match had been her last.

After the frist two sets, I went upstairs to watch in bed, but then
remembered that we don't get ESPNU on that TV.  I almost decided to
skip the rest, figuring the Huskers had nearly no chance, but then
went back downstairs to watch sets 3, 4, and then 5.

The Huskers really had Washington on the ropes at the end of set
4, but allowed Washington to take back momentum even while holding
on to win the set.

NU will be big underdogs to Penn State.  This team has had some
trouble with hitting errors.  I don't think they'll be able to
make so many mistakes against Penn State.  Most of the experts say
that Penn State is the greatest NCAA women's volleyball team of
all time.  Hopefully, that is what is on Penn State's mind, because
when a team starts thinking that way, a loss often follows.
