Goliath’s winning streak continued climbing to monster heights on Wednesday with no end in sight.

Kansas University’s volleyball team again lost to Nebraska by a 3-0 (30-22, 30-21, 30-20) count Wednesday night. The No. 4 Huskers have won 68 straight matches against the Jayhawks, dating back to 1975.

For the sold-out crowd at the Horejsi Center hoping to see David finally overthrow the perennial powerhouse Cornhuskers, it wasn’t to be. Nebraska’s talented front line was just too much, handing Kansas its third straight loss.

“They’re an amazing team,” KU’s Lindsey Morris said. “Every team looks forward to playing them because of the challenge.”

Eleven of Nebraska’s 15 players stand more than six feet tall. Their size proved to be their biggest asset on Wednesday, blasting 53 kills at a .296 clip and garnering 13 team blocks. KU managed just six blocks and had a dismal .068 hitting percentage.

“Many teams are big physically,” Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. “But they’ve got a pretty rare combination of being athletic, too. It’s a team capable of getting to the Final Four and doing some damage.”

Despite the mismatch, KU hardly played dead. The Jayhawks (14-5 overall, 5-5 Big 12 Conference) kept all three games close early, and even led midway through the second game.

“I thought we executed well for about 80 percent of each game,” Bechard said. “It seems like they went on a little run around 20 points, and that’s what good teams do, is figure out a way to close strong.”

Sarah Rome had 10 kills and seven digs to lead Kansas, and sophomore Jill Dorsey added nine digs against a pesky Nebraska attacking game.

KU’s night was marred by a couple of significant injuries.

Freshman Josiane Lima, KU’s top attacker, left in the middle of the third game because of a hand injury. Her status remains unclear.

“Lima will have an X-ray in the morning,” Bechard said. “Hopefully we’ll come away with some good news.”

Junior Jordan Garrison sat out Wednesday’s match because of an inflamed sternum muscle.

On the bright side, one of KU’s more brutal stretches of the season is finished after one week, three matches, and zero victories. The Jayhawks travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.

“We knew that stretch was going to be difficult,” Bechard said. “We hope that our team can recover from it quickly and be ready to play on Saturday.”
