Nebraska volleyball kept their dominant NCAA Tournament run alive Thursday with yet another sweep.
The No. 10-seed Huskers (24-7, 15-4 Big Ten) swept Illinois (22-12, 12-8 Big Ten) 25-12, 21, 17. It was the third straight sweep for Nebraska in the tournament and the third sweep of the Illini this season.
Nebraska never trailed in the first set, running away with the win, but sets two and three required comebacks.
Kayla Caffey and Madi Kubik each led the Huskers with 11 kills. Caffey hit .529 on the match while Kubik notched .290.
The Huskers outhit the Illini .260 to .088.
With the win, Nebraska advances to their 10th consecutive NCAA Regional Final. It is the 31 Regional Final appearance in program history, and NCAA record.
Awaiting Nebraska is No. 2-seed Texas. The Longhorns eliminated the Huskers in this round last spring 3-1.
