The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team takes their exhibition season on the road Friday night for a highly anticipated in-state clash against the Creighton Bluejays. Set for D.J. Sokol Arena in Omaha, this match marks the second spring tune-up for the Huskers, who opened their slate with a decisive 4-0 victory over Iowa State.

Friday's meeting is a rematch of one of last season's most electric atmospheres. When these two powerhouse programs met in September, they set an NCAA indoor volleyball attendance record with 17,675 fans and battled through a thrilling five-setter. Both teams carried that momentum all the way to the Elite Eight, cementing their national contender status.

While Nebraska holds a perfect 24-0 all-time series lead, recent history proves this rivalry is fiercely competitive. Three of the last four meetings have gone the full five-set distance, promising another intense battle for every point. This spring exhibition offers a crucial early look at both squads as they build towards the fall campaign.

For fans looking to catch the action, first serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT. The match will be broadcast on Nebraska Public Media, with commentary from Larry Punteney and Creighton head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth. It's the perfect opportunity to see top-tier volleyball and scout the talent that defines this thrilling rivalry.
