The Nebraska Sand Volleyball team is about halfway through their short season. An update on their season:

#2 USC def. #8 Nebraska (5-0)
1. Kirby Burnham/Sara Hughes (USC) def. Melanie Keil/Justine Wong-Orantes (NEB) (21-17, 21-15)
2. Alexa Strange/Kelly Claes (USC) def. Amber Rolfzen/Kadie Rolfzen (NEB) (21-5, 21-10)
3. Sam Hirschmann/Natasja Siljkovic (USC) def. Brenna Lyles/Alicia Ostrander (NEB) (21-14, 21-13)
4. Eve Ettinger/Bria Russ (USC) def. Cecilia Hall/Alexa Ethridge (NEB) (21-12, 21-11)
5. Nicolette Martin/Allie Wheeler (USC) def. Mary Pollmiller/Kelsey Fien (NEB) (21-9, 21-14)

#3 Hawaii def. #8 Nebraska (5-0)
1. Brittany Tiegs/Karissa Cook (HAW) def. Melanie Keil/Justine Wong-Orantes (NEB) (21-7, 21-17)
2. Katie Spieler/Nikki Taylor (HAW) def. Amber Rolfzen/Kadie Rolfzen (NEB) (21-11, 20-7)
3. Ali Longo/Ginger Long (HAW) def. Cecilia Hall/Alexa Ethridge (NEB) (21-13, 21-15)
4. Hannah Rooks/Karlee Riggs (HAW) def. Brenna Lyles/Alicia Ostrander (NEB) (21-4, 21-18)
5. London Chow/Tayler Higgins (HAW) def. Mary Pollmiller/Kira Larson (NEB) (21-11, 21-18)

The Huskers then competed in the Rainbow Wahine Challenge, a bracketed event that does not keep team scores. Nebraska's No. 1 team of Justine Wong-Orantes/Melanie Keil reached the quarterfinals of the Gold Bracket going 1-1 in the tournament. The team of Kira Larson/Alicia Ostrander lost in the quarterfinals of the Silver Bracket.

Nebraska then competed in the Chaminade Invitational in Hawaii. The No. 1 duo of Melanie Keil/Justine Wong-Orantes won the overall championship in the event over teammates Amber Rolfzen/Kira Larson. The consolation match was won by Cecilia Hall and Alexa Ethridge. In fact, the semifinals was comprised of all Nebraska teams. The Huskers only lost to themselves in the tournament and were undefeated against Hawaii Pacific and Chaminade.

Nebraska now moves on to Arizona. The Huskers will take on Arizona State on Wednesday, March 26 at 5:00 p.m. Nebraska will face Grand Canyon University in Phoenix on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. and the University of Arizona at 3:30 on Friday in Phoenix.

This weekend, the Huskers will take part in the Grand Canyon Pairs Tournament in Phoenix to close the season against both Arizona and Grand Canyon.

Okay----I got the link:
www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&SPID=123508&SPSID=732111&DB_OEM_ID=100

and hidden in there was a link to this interesting tidbit:

"The Huskers dominated the tournament as all four teams in the semifinals were Nebraska teams. The first semifinal featured Brenna Lyles and Alicia Ostrander against Amber Rolfzen and Kira Larson, while the second semifinal was Keil and Wong-Orantes against Mary Pollmiller and Kelsey Fien.

All Husker teams went undefeated against Hawaii Pacific and Chaminade, with their only losses in the tournament coming against fellow Huskers.

The Huskers return to action on Wednesday as Nebraska will take on Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., at 5 p.m. CT."

But we are all positive it improved their overall indoor game.
