Epic Walk-Off Caps Nebraska’s Comeback Over No. 12 USC
In a thrilling 10-inning showdown at Hawks Field, Nebraska erased a five-run deficit to topple No. 12 USC, 8–7. USC built an early 5–0 lead behind timely doubles and sacrifice flies, but the Huskers rallied in the sixth, eighth, and ninth innings. Jett Buck and Mac Moyer combined for clutch hits, including a three-run homer by Joshua Overbeek. Nebraska’s bullpen settled down after a rocky start, with J’Shawn Unger striking out the side in the top of the tenth. A throwing error on Moyer’s bunt single allowed Rhett Stokes to score the walk-off run, sealing an unforgettable victory and boosting Nebraska to 29–9 on the season.
Congratulations, Cornhuskers! You’ve once again proved that the only thing more thrilling than watching a pitcher groan under pressure is watching your own team steal a victory on an infield bunt gaffe. Who needs nine innings of clean baseball when you can have ten innings of comedy, calamity, and a dash of clutch theatrics? As for USC, it turns out the Trojan War is less about spears and more about letting one little bunt turn into a national headline. Nebraska’s dugout probably considered hiring a marching band to escort Moyer back to first base—after all, nothing says “we dominate” like a 419-foot blast followed by “Oops, our bad.”
Sigler’s Spike Sensation Stuns Creighton
Sophomore outside hitter Tereya Sigler led Nebraska to a straight-sets victory over Creighton in a spring exhibition match, finishing with 11 kills on 17 swings and zero hitting errors. The Scottsdale native showcased her back-row defense and versatile attacking, sparking momentum early with missile-like spikes and back-to-back blocks in the third set. Nebraska’s coach mixed lineups every set, testing combinations while Sigler embraced the spring mantra of risk-taking. Her confident play and flawless execution highlighted her full recovery from last season’s back injury and signaled Nebraska’s depth heading into the fall.
Behold, the Nebraska volleyball juggernaut! Sigler isn’t just spiking balls—she’s sending out memos to opposing defenses: “Respect the net, or you’ll taste my spikes.” Watching her swing is like seeing a caffeinated jackhammer in action—there’s no finesse, just pure demolition. Creighton’s blockers probably spent the ride home rethinking life choices, perhaps wondering why they didn’t pursue interpretive dance instead. Meanwhile, Coach Busboom Kelly is likely scribbling “more Sigler” in every lineup. If spring exhibitions are this dramatic, fall matches might need a Hollywood stunt coordinator.
6’11” Transfer Giant Kapke Joins Nebraska’s Frontcourt
Boden Kapke, a 6-foot-11 forward/center from Boston College, committed to Nebraska with one season of eligibility remaining. After starting his career at Butler and improving his production at Boston College—averaging 10.6 points and 5.7 rebounds—Kapke brings size and shooting touch to the Huskers. Nebraska lost key frontcourt contributors but returns several starters and added other portal pieces, positioning Kapke to slot into the starting five. The commitment strengthens a lineup featuring Pryce Sandfort, Braden Frager, and returning big man Leo Curtis.
Welcome to the Boston College shopping cart, Nebraska—now with Gigantic Kapke! The Huskers have treated the transfer portal like a Black Friday sale, snagging a 6’11” dude who can actually swish threes. Move over Rienk Mast; Kapke’s in town, and he’s packing an extra inch of height for that extra inch of swagger. Husker fans can now dream of dunk contests in breakfast cereal commercials. Meanwhile, the rest of the Big Ten is probably logging into Venmo to donate sympathy funds. Enjoy your new giant, Nebraska—just don’t drop him during the rebound drills.
