No. 1 Nebraska volleyball opened the home portion of its schedule with a 25-16, 25-16, 25-20 over Wright State Friday at John Cook Arena.
Harper Murray ended up just shy of a double-double with a team-leading 11 kills and nine digs. Manaia Ogbechie started and made a team-high five blocks. Bergen Reilly led the team 30 set assists and matched Murray for the team lead with nine digs.
The Cornhuskers (5-0) defense was especially sharp early, holding the Raiders to (-.030) hitting in the first set while notching five blocks in the second set.
