Nebraska Volleyball Faces Illinois in Must-Watch Showdown

The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team is set to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini in a highly anticipated match on November 6, 2025. The game will take place at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, starting at 8 p.m. ET. This matchup comes in the wake of a tumultuous week in college volleyball, where Nebraska remains the only undefeated team in the nation.

The recent national rankings saw significant shifts, particularly with the No. 2 Texas Longhorns suffering their first losses of the season against both Texas A&M and Kentucky. This development has solidified Nebraska’s position at the top, making their performance crucial as they aim to maintain their perfect record.

Illinois, currently standing at 12-9, is looking to turn their fortunes around after suffering four consecutive losses. In a recent five-set match against Iowa, the Illini narrowly missed victory, losing by just five points despite impressive performances from four players who each recorded double-digit kills. The challenge ahead is significant, but Illinois is eager to break their losing streak.
