the middle and okore with another stuff has been Unstoppable so [Applause] far Ace couldn't have walked it over there any better back open just a little bit more they're going to need service pressure from here on out to try to knock Nebraska out of system Cullen the setter serving Riley setting the outside left pin not as successful that's another block backing the set getting in front of it ID's at the middle is a little bit late so she Dove her hands back into the seam that's an incredibly Riley to be oh are you kidding me it's targeted at landfair saved by Riley Rodriguez setting b b hits into the block but can't get through it and SMU six straight points to take a one-point lead right now knocking Nebraska out of system that makes these blocks so much easier to get when you know

through her arm a completely open n you do not want to be on the other side of that as she goes by J only one dig in set two six service errors from Nebraska followed by an Ace from Foster still on SMU side and Emily typically you're going to try to stay away from the best defensive player on the team but there is that thought that sometimes you go right at him and that seems to be what he doing there is another Ace right at Rodriguez check out this serve just beautiful the way it's going from Zone one back to Zone one match ups two top 20 matchups another top 10 one it's crazy crazy serving
