- Entering the penultimate weekend of the 2022 Big Ten volleyball regular season, Wisconsin and Ohio State remain tied atop the conference standings at 15-1 with Nebraska just one match behind at 14-2 and Minnesota in fourth place at 12-4. All Big Ten action this weekend will take place Friday through Sunday, including Big Ten Network broadcasts on all three days — No. 9 Minnesota at No. 14 Penn State on Friday (8:30 p.m. ET), No. 3 Wisconsin at No. 14 Penn State on Saturday (8 p.m. ET) and No. 19 Purdue at No. 6 Nebraska on Sunday (1 p.m. ET).
- Ohio State captured its third top-five and fifth top-10 win of the season last Sunday with a four-set win over No. 4 Nebraska at the sold-out Covelli Center and a national television audience on the Big Ten Network. Since dropping its first three matches against ranked opponents this season (two vs. Texas and one vs. San Diego, currently the top two schools in the AVCA poll), Ohio State is 8-2 against Top 25 opponents, with one of those two losses coming on Sept. 24 in five sets on the road at the same Nebraska squad the Buckeyes defeated this past weekend.
- Ohio State junior opposite hitter Emily Londot was chosen as the GameChanger/AVCA Division I National Player of the Week, it was announced Tuesday. The Utica, Ohio, native averaged 5.75 points, 5.25 kills and 4.0 digs per set with a .360 hitting percentage last week in pacing the Buckeyes to four-set wins at No. 15 Purdue and at home against No. 4 Nebraska. Londot is the first Big Ten player to earn national player of the week honors from the AVCA since Nov. 1, 2021, when Minnesota’s Stephanie Samedy was selected.
- Nebraska celebrated another program milestone on Nov. 11 with its NCAA-record 300th consecutive home sellout when 8,207 fans jammed the Bob Devaney Sports Center for the Huskers’ 3-0 win over Iowa. Nebraska’s sellout streak dates back to 2001, when the Huskers played at the NU Coliseum (which seated approximately 4,000 fans). The streak has continued even with Nebraska moving into the larger Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2013, helping the school lead the nation in attendance annually since that relocation nearly a decade ago.
