BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior Amelia Anderson led the Indiana volleyball team with 13 kills, but the Hoosiers fell in three sets (25-20, 25-18, 25-20) to No. 8 Nebraska at University Gym on Saturday.

The Indiana defense had six blocks, but had trouble containing the potent Nebraska (20-4, 11-3) offense with the Cornhuskers hitting at a .366 hitting efficiency for the match.
Junior Allison Hammond registered nine kills and senior Awele Nwaeze contributed seven kills on 11 swings and two errors for a .455 hitting efficiency. Nwaeze also picked up three block assists for the night.
After falling behind 2-0 in the match, the Hoosiers (13-13, 3-11) played a solid third set, hitting their best of the match at .286. Indiana connected on 15 kills with 13 of junior Megan Tallman's 30 assists and Anderson tallied seven kills and hit .429 for the third set.
