Nebraska softball played flawlessly on defense in a three-game sweep of Minnesota over the weekend.

The Huskers also improved to 23-8 on the year while outscoring the Gophers 24-5.

Despite getting the three wins, NU received mixed reviews from the four major polls only seeing its name in two of them for a second consecutive week.

Nebraska was dropped from Softball America and D1Softball's top 25 after going 1-2 against Ohio State March 14-16 but remained in the NFCA and USA Softball polls.

Here's how things look this week for the Huskers:

Poll	Current	Previous
NFCA	20	21
USA Softball	20	21
Softball America	RV	RV
D1Softball	RV	RV

As for the rest of the Big Ten, Oregon has taken over as the top-ranked program, coming in at No. 6 in both the NFCA and USA Softball polls. UCLA fell to No. 7 after splitting a two-game series with Iowa.

Ohio State is ranked in all four polls but trails Nebraska in both the NFCA and USA Softball polls.
