## Nebraska Volleyball Drops Shocking Loss to Unranked Opponent, Ending Six-Year Unbeaten Streak ### Nebraska's Historic Home-Court Dominance Broken OMAHA, Neb. - The University of Nebraska's volleyball team suffered a stunning 3-2 (25-23, 23-25, 19-25, 25-23, 15-12) defeat at the hands of the unranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday night, snapping a remarkable 6-year, 155-match home winning streak. Ohio State, who entered the match with a 9-4 record, upset the No. 5-ranked Cornhuskers in front of a sellout crowd of 8,319 at the Devaney Center. The last time Nebraska lost a home match was on September 2, 2017, against Wisconsin. ### Ohio State's Upset The Buckeyes, led by junior outside hitter Emily Londot's 22 kills, surged to a 2-1 lead after taking the third set. Nebraska fought back to even the match in the fourth set, but Ohio State rallied in the decisive fifth set to seal the historic victory. ### Nebraska's Struggles Nebraska, who fell to 11-3 this season, struggled offensively throughout the match, hitting just .182 as a team. The Cornhuskers also committed 21 service errors, a season-high. ### A Rare Occurrence Nebraska's loss to an unranked opponent at home is a rare occurrence. The Cornhuskers had not lost to an unranked team at home since 2004, a span of over 1,000 matches. ### Reaction from Nebraska Coach John Cook Nebraska coach John Cook was disappointed with his team's performance. "We just didn't play well enough tonight," Cook said. "We made too many mistakes and Ohio State played a great match."
