The Wildcats rolled into Lincoln, Neb., Saturday looking to end a six-game losing skid.

Instead, K-State (6-10, 0-6 Big 12 Conference) was outplayed and swept by the No. 9 Huskers (12-4, 5-2 Big 12 Conference). Being one of two Big 12 teams to win in the Coliseum more than once, you could say they had a better chance than most teams.

It was close in the beginning of the first set with the score tied at seven, but Nebraska scored three straight points to take the lead. They did not look back from there, using two more runs of five and four to win the first set handily, 25-13.

In the second set, down 4-0, the Wildcats used a timeout to regroup, and answered with five straight points to take a 5-4 lead. Looking to avoid a two-set deficit, the Wildcats played back and forth through nine lead changes. Four straight points by Nebraska gave the Huskers a 16-12 lead, which they used to propel them to win the second set 25-19.

Once again in the third set, the Wildcats found themselves trailing after Nebraska jumped out to an early 5-1 lead. However, the Wildcats fought their way back in and tied things at 14-14 in the middle of the third set. The Huskers responded with two runs of four and five to put away K-State 25-18.

Hannah Werth and Tara Mueller led the Huskers with 10 kills each. Kayla Banwarth recorded 20 digs for a Huskers defense that also had 12 total blocks. Nebraska as a team hit the ball very solid, with a .319 hitting percentage.

K-State could not seem to get much of a rhythm going on the offense side with a team hitting percentage of only .170. Junior outside hitter Vanessa Murray led the Wildcats with 11 kills. JuliAnne Chisholm had eight kills along with Murray's 11, but there were not many other bright spots for K-State.

The Wildcats return home to Manhattan Wednesday, looking to end their seven-game losing streak against Missouri. First serve is set to start at 7 p.m. in Ahearn Field House.
