No. 2 Nebraska is in Chicago to take on Northwestern for its first midweek game since the Stanford match on Sept. 12. It's a big match for the Huskers who have No. 1 Wisconsin on Saturday, so it's important for NU not to look too far ahead against a team who pushed Nebraska to five sets last season.
First serve is set for 7 p.m. on Big Ten Plus.
Unfortunately, the headline news ahead of this match is the injury bug that has bitten both teams coming into tonight. John Baylor revealed on HRN that Lindsay Krause twisted her ankle yesterday during practice and is out indefinitely. She's in a boot and crutches, but is still traveling with the team. On the flip side, Northwestern will be without its best player in B1G Player of the Year contender and Santa Clara transfer Julia Sangiacomo who's averaging 4.11 kills per set. She injured her knee and is out for the foreseeable future.
That changes a lot for both teams. Ally Batenhorst will ge the start at L2 in place of Krause while sophomore Rylen Reid will start for NW. Here's a more in-depth breakdown of the Wildcats that was released this morning:
