HUSKER FOOTBALL POSTGAME COMMENTS – MATT RHULE:
RHULE – INITIAL MICHIGAN THOUGHTS:
Nebraska Football Head Coach Matt Rhule spoke at his postgame press conference following the loss to Michigan, giving his initial thoughts on a terrific Wolverine squad…
Nebraska was never in the contest, trailed by two scores in the first quarter while Michigan pulled their starters in the second half.
RHULE – GROWING DAY FOR HAARBERG:
Nebraska Football head coach Matt Rhule added in his postgame comments following the home loss to Michigan that it was a day of growing pains for quarterback Heinrich Haarberg…
The Kearney Catholic alum went 14 of 25 passing with 199 yards and an interception and was unusually quiet in the run game, given only nine carries for -2 yards.
RHULE – NEBRASKA NOT THE SAME LEVEL AS WOLVERINES:
Matt Rhule, Nebraska Football head coach, spoke at his postgame report that the Huskers loss to Michigan was not due to a lack of intensity on the field…
Rhule continued that the team will continue to get better and said the upcoming Illinois matchup on Friday is pivotal to the season.
HUSKER FOOTBALL POSTGAME COMMENTS – HEINRICH HAARBERG:
HAARBERG – MICHIGAN LIMITED RUNNING GAME:
Nebraska quarterback Heinrich Haarberg was asked what limited the run game, and the Kearney native added in his postgame thoughts partially to blame was early miscues…
The Kearney Catholic alum had negative rushing yardage on the day against the Wolverines defense who limited the Huskers to 106 rushing yards Saturday – 74 of them coming on one run late in the fourth quarter.
HAARBERG – NEED TO LEARN TO TRUST OFFENSIVE LINE:
Husker quarterback Heinrich Haarberg stated in his postgame presser following the loss to Michigan that the disappointing performance is a big step in his learning curve…
The quarterback completed over fifty percent of his passes but did not break 200 yards of total offense, and did not have a hand in scoring a touchdown against the No. 2 team in the country.
HAARBERG – LEARNING FROM FIRST LOSS:
The Nebraska football team is now 2-3 on the year, and following the loss to Michigan Saturday starting quarterback Heinrich Haarberg spoke on what can be learned from the defeat…
The Huskers travel to Illinois on a shortened week, facing the Fighting Illini on Friday night.
LOPER FOOTBALL WINS HOMECOMING MATCHUP OVER WASHBURN:
Nebraska Kearney had three first half fourth down stops, six sacks including a scoop-and score and recovered two on-side kicks to hold off Washburn, 27-21, Saturday afternoon at Ron & Carol Cope Stadium at Foster Field.
The Lopers (2-3, 2-3) beat the Ichabods (1-4, 0-4) for the fourth time in the last five meetings. Those wins came by a total of 19 points with UNK now having an 18-13 all-time series lead.
UNK’s defense and special teams shined, blocking a punt and recording several sacks while also recovering two late onside kicks.
UNK heads to No. 21 Central Missouri next Saturday. The Mules (4-1) out lasted Northwest Missouri today, 41-38.
HASTINGS BLASTED BY DORDT AT HOME:
The Hastings College football team ran into a bit of a buzz saw on Saturday afternoon as the Dordt Defenders came away with the 61-21 victory on Homecoming out on Lloyd Wilson Field.
Hastings finished the game with 276 yards of offense compared to 657 for Dordt.
Hastings falls to 3-3 (2-3) on the year and will be back in action Saturday Oct. 7 hitting the road to take on NAIA No. 1 Northwestern with kickoff set for 1:00 pm out in Orange City, IA.
HUSKER VOLLEYBALL SURVIVES HOT-START INDIANA:
The second-ranked Nebraska volleyball team won its 13th straight match to start the season with a 3-1 (23-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-19) victory at Indiana in front of a sold-out Wilkinson Hall on Saturday night.
The Huskers (13-0, 4-0 Big Ten) are off to their best start to a season since beginning 20-0 in 2008. On Saturday against the Hoosiers, the Big Red was led by Merritt Beason, who had a career-high 22 kills and hit .400 to go with 12 digs.
Harper Murray added 17 kills and hit .368, while Lindsay Krause chipped in nine kills and hit .471. Andi Jackson added in eight kills, and Maggie Mendelson had four kills.

BRONCOS VOLLEYBALL SWEPT IN NORTH DAKOTA; SPLITS WEEKEND:
After a record setting night last Friday at Dakota Wesleyan, winning over the Hastings College volleyball team took on a tough Jamestown squad and fell in straight sets 20-25, 12-25, 21-25 on Saturday afternoon.
Hastings is now 8-9 (3-5) on the year and will be back in action Friday Oct. 6 as Dordt comes to town with first serve set for 7:30 pm inside Lynn Farrell Arena.
STORM COMEBACK FALLS SHORT AT HOME SATURDAY:
The Tri-City Storm’s comeback efforts on Saturday night fell short as the team dropped a 4-3 decision on home ice to the Sioux City Musketeers.
Vladislav Lukashevich, August Fallon, and Trevor Connelly each netted a goal during the matchup for Tri-City.
The Storm returns to action on Friday, October 6th, at 7:05pm CT in a home game against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders.
UNK SOCCER EARNS TWO WEEKEND POINTS:
The Nebraska Kearney soccer team picked up its second point of the weekend, battling Northwest Missouri State to a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon at Ron & Carol Cope Stadium at Foster Field.

LOPER CROSS COUNTRY CONTINUES IMPRESSIVE START IN ARKANSAS:

The regionally-ranked women were at 379 points and ran past many D1 schools as well as getting some key D2 wins. Four of UNK’s scorers were in the top 77 with 297 runners reaching the finish line.
