COLLEGE

The largest crowd to witness a women’s sporting event filled Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night. Watching the five-time NCAA champion Nebraska Huskers volleyball team take on Omaha were 92,003 fans. After the Huskers won the first two sets on their way to their three-set sweep, they announced the attendance record to the red-clad Nebraska faithful, who cheered wildly.

Former rivals Texas A&M University-Commerce volleyball team and Abilene Christian met for the first time since 2012 on Tuesday night. The Lions took the thrilling five-set win in Moody Coliseum. Tuesday night was the 56th meeting between the Lions and the Wildcats, and A&M-Commerce is now 30-26 in the all-time series, having won the last three meetings. The Lions are 11-11 against ACU in Abilene. The Lions improve 2-2 seasonally, while Abilene Christian is 1-2. The Wildcats’ lone win this season did come against defending Southland champion Houston Christian.
