No. 2 Nebraska begins its four-game road trip tonight with a matchup at No. 17 Purdue. It's a big stretch in the Huskers' season as this young team embraks on its first sustained road trip in the conference with back-to-back games.

Despite some big losses — especially at setter — Purdue returns another top-20 caliber squad including the dynamic duo of outside hitters in 2022 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Eva Hudson and 2023 No. 1 overall recruit Chloe Chicoine. A test for the defense tonight in a big way.

Per Lauren Cook West on the Huskers' Radio Network, Ally Batenhorst will make her fourth-straight start after beating out Lindsay Krause on merit this week in practice. Expect to see her in the lineup as the second outside hitter. Here's the weeknd preview including a look at Indiana who NU plays tomorrow:


Assistant coach and program legend Jordan Larson made her return to Lincoln after being away helping the U.S. National Team clinch its 11th straight Olympic berth for the 2024 Paris Olympics. She aided the U.S. to a 6-1 record in Poland to lock up its spot. Here's my feature on Larson's return:


Plus, John Cook's WWL from this week including his thoughts on the return of Larson and the Huskers' first Big Ten road trip:
