Teraya Sigler’s career-high 15 kills power No. 1 Huskers past Boilermakers in four sets
Teraya Sigler was the offensive engine for the Huskers, recording a career-high 15 kills to lead the team’s attack. She was supported by a balanced offensive effort from Harper Murray, who contributed 13 kills, and Virginia Adriano, who added 11. Nebraska’s overall efficiency far outpaced Purdue’s, as the Huskers posted a .303 hitting percentage compared to just .133 for the Boilermakers. This statistical disparity highlights Nebraska’s ability to control the pace and execution even when facing a top-15 opponent.
