Nebraska-Missouri volleyball match disruption and reschedule

Overview

The Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge Week debuted at Wrigley Field in Chicago, but the event faced disruption. While the first doubleheader match saw Kentucky defeat Penn State, the subsequent match between No. 1 Nebraska and Missouri was suspended because high humidity levels, exceeding 80 percent, made the court surface unsafe. Nebraska coach Dani Busboom Kelly remarked, “There’s a reason our sport’s indoors.”

The Nebraska versus Missouri match was later rescheduled and held at the John Cook Arena. Although the venue changed, the game retained a baseball theme through music and themed jerseys. Nebraska secured a victory to conclude their non-conference season, though sophomore Teraya Sigler sustained a lower leg or foot injury after slipping during the second set.
