In a game of highs and lows, Purdue saw two lows over the weekend. After Nebraska I felt a lot of promise for this young squad, but Northwestern reminded me there are still a lot of growing pains to go through. Purdue has proven to start matches strong but continues to struggle with momentum and closing sets out.
Purdue vs. Nebraska (23-25, 25-22, 25-18, 19-25, 15-12)
Purdue took on Nebraska Friday night in what was one of the most exciting matches of the season thus far. Nebraska, currently the #2 team in the country hadn’t been pushed by any teams to 5 sets this season.
