Virginia Adriano delivered a career-high 14 kills to lead five Huskers with double-digit kills as top-ranked Nebraska defeated Michigan 3-1 on Friday night at the Crisler Center. The match, played before a sold-out crowd of 12,707 marked another milestone for the undefeated Huskers. With the victory, Nebraska improved to 22-0 overall and 11-0 in the Big Ten while extending its program-record streak of consecutive regular-season wins to 53, surpassing the previous mark of 52 set in the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The Big Red also pushed their road and neutral-site winning streak to 24 matches, tied for 11th all-time in NCAA history and the longest active streak nationally since Nebraska’s own run of 24 in 2015-16.

Nebraska hit .412 as a team while limiting Michigan to a .289 attack percentage. The balanced offensive output produced five players with double-digit kills for the 12th time in the rally-scoring era, the first such occurrence since two instances in 2021.

Harper Murray paced the attack with 16 kills, her 22nd career match with at least 15 kills. Adriano added her career-best 14 kills on .500 hitting, along with a pair of digs and blocks. The sophomore has now recorded 48 kills on .434 hitting over her last four matches, becoming the fifth Husker since 2021 to post 48-plus kills at a .430-or-better clip in a four-match stretch.

Senior Andi Jackson eclipsed the 1,000-kill career milestone with 13 kills on .455 hitting. She became the 13th Husker in the rally-scoring era to reach 1,000 career kills and joined Murray as an active player with that total. Jackson also entered rare company alongside Sarah Pavan, Lauren Stivrins, and Melissa Elmer as the only four Huskers in the rally-scoring era with at least 1,000 career kills and 400 career blocks.

Teraya Sigler posted the second double-double of her career with 12 kills on .400 hitting, 12 digs, and three blocks. Manaia Ogbechie finished with 11 kills at a .500 clip and a team-high four blocks. Setter Bergen Reilly recorded 58 assists and nine digs with two service aces—her ninth career match with at least 50 assists, while Olivia Mauch led the defense with 13 digs and Laney Choboy added seven. Overall, Nebraska held a 68-56 edge in kills, a 51-48 advantage in digs, a 4-3 lead in aces, and a 6-5 margin in blocks.

The Huskers dropped a tightly contested first set 28-26 after saving multiple set points. Michigan built a 23-19 lead before Nebraska rallied to tie the set at 24-24, only to fall short. Nebraska then never trailed in the second set and took it 25-20 behind strong serving from Reilly and timely kills. In the third set, the Huskers overcame an early deficit for a 25-20 win, with Sigler contributing key kills and blocks during a decisive stretch. Nebraska closed the match with a dominant 25-14 fourth set, using early service runs and efficient attacking to pull away.

Nebraska returns to action Saturday against No. 25 Michigan State, with first serve set for 3:30 p.m. CT on B1G+.
