On the strength of three wins to open their season, including a five-set triumph over previously top-ranked UCLA, the Husker volleyball team ascended to number one in the newest AVCA poll released yesterday. The Huskers earned 32 of the 60 first place votes and will enjoy the number one ranking for the 83^rd week in program history. Nebraska also beat St. Louis and Notre Dame on their opening weekend. Taking home individual honors from the weekend was senior setter Lauren Cook. Cook was named the Big Ten Setter of the Week and was also the conference’s Co-Player of the Week. She tallied 118 assists in the three matches, including 56 against her former Bruin teammates, and also notched double-figures in digs in all three matches. The Huskers are in Irvine, California this Saturday for matches against Colgate and UC-Irvine.
