After sweeping The Citadel Thursday, the Huskers swept Montana State Saturday afternoon: 25-19, 25-15, 25-10. NU is now 5-1 on the season.

The Huskers hit .400 for the match, holding the Bobcats to .128.

Harper Murray led all attackers with 11 kills, doing so on .400 hitting. Middles Andi Jackson and Rebekah Allick compined for 13 kills as both hit at least .500.

Bergen Reilly dished out 37 assists and tied Lexi Rodriguez for the team-high in digs at eight.

Nebraska stays home Tuesday to host Creighton.
