LAS VEGAS \u2013 No. 1 Nebraska volleyball swept No. 2 Texas (25-19, 25-19, 25-16) on Sunday afternoon to close its run at the Players Era Showcase at T-Mobile Arena.<\/p>\n

Nebraska (2-0) hit .293 on the afternoon and limited Texas (2-2) to a .152 hitting percentage, finishing with 10 blocks and seven service aces.<\/p>\n

Andi Jackson<\/a> led all Huskers with nine kills, hitting .571 while adding a pair of blocks. Manaia Ogbechie<\/a> led Nebraska with seven blocks and also recorded seven kills.<\/p>\n

Harper Murray<\/a> and Teraya Sigler<\/a> added eight and seven kills, respectively.<\/p>\n

Set 1: Nebraska overcame an early 8-5 deficit with a dominant 10-0 run, fueled by strong serving from Bergen Reilly<\/a> and NU\u2019s pressure at the net that forced four Texas errors and recorded two blocks in the run. The Longhorns battled back to cut the Big Red\u2019s lead to 20-18 before the Huskers scored five of the final six points to take the first set. Kills from Jackson, Sigler and Ogbechie highlighted the 5-1 run, while Reilly\u2019s service ace clinched the 25-19 victory.<\/p>\n

Set 2: Texas jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead, but Nebraska responded with a 6-0 rally of their own to take a 7-4 lead after block assists from Jackson and Murray. The Huskers gradually built the lead to 18-10 behind consecutive kills from Murray and Jackson. Texas made a late push, trimming the deficit to 23-18 before the Big Red stopped the momentum with a kill from Murray to reach match point at 24-18. After Texas added another point, Jackson finished off the set with a kill to give the Huskers another 25-19 win.<\/p>\n

Set 3: Nebraska built a 4-1 lead before Texas scored four of five to even the score at 5-5. The Huskers responded with a 5-1 run of their own to force a Longhorn timeout at 10-6. Nebraska continued to build its lead and used another run to open a 15-9 advantage at the media timeout thanks to an ace from Sigler. The Longhorns got to within four (17-13), but the Big Red pulled away and ended the match on a 4-0 run to finish the sweep.<\/p>\n

No. 1 Nebraska returns to action on Wednesday, Sept. 2, as the Huskers visit South Dakota State in Brookings, S.D.<\/p>\n
