Pettit was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame in 2009 and was a two-time AVCA National Coach of the year, a seven-time Big eight Coach of the year and a two-time Big 12 Coach of the year. In his 23 years at Nebraska, he guided the Huskers to a national championship in 1995, six Final Four appearances and 21 conference titles.

Fans can listen to all of the action with John Baylor and Diane Mendenhall on the 25-station Husker Sports Network, including B107.3 FM in Lincoln and The Wolf 93.3 FM in Omaha.

NeWCOMeRS MAke IMMeDIATe IMPACTHusker newcomers played a pivotal role in Nebraska’s matches over the weekend, as kelsey Robinson, Mary Pollmiller, Amber Rolfzen, kelly Hunter and Justine Wong-Orantes all saw substantial playing time. Newcomers produced 63 kills (44 percent) , 117 assists (89 percent), 147 digs (90 percent) and 17 aces (100 percent) for the Huskers at the Marcia e. Hamilton Classic.

Freshmen Amber Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes became just the ninth and 10th true freshmen, respectively, to start a season opener during Coach John Cook’s career at Nebraska. Wong-Orantes became Nebraska’s first true-freshman libero to start a match since Lara Dykstra in 2011.

DOMINANT eFFORT AGAINST LOuISIANA-MONROeThe Huskers produced one of the more dominant showings in program history on Friday, Aug. 30 as they swept Louisiana-Monroe in three sets. The 36 points scored by uLM was the fewest points allowed by a Husker opponent in a three-set match during the rally-scoring era. The Huskers also held uLM to just four points in the third set, which is a school record low for a Husker opponent in the rally scoring era. The previous low had been seven points, most recently against Duquesne in 2012. The Huskers also held uLM to an NCAA record zero kills in the third set.

ROBINSON AND WONG-ORANTeS NAMeD TO ALL-TOuRNAMeNT TeAMNebraska senior kelsey Robinson and freshman Justine Wong-Orantes were honored last weekend as they were selected to the Marcia e. Hamilton Classic All-Tournament Team. Robinson led the Huskers offensively over the weekend, posting a total of 34 kills (3.40 kills/set), a .329 hitting percentage and six aces.

HuSkeRS CALL THe DeVANey CeNTeR HOMeThe Nebraska volleyball program opened a new era in its storied tradition by moving into a new permanent home court for the first time in almost 40 years. When Nebraska played its preseason Red-White Match on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013, the Bob Devaney Sports Center became the official home of Husker volleyball. The Devaney Center, which received $20 million in renovations designed to create the nation’s premier home court advantage for volleyball, will allow nearly 4,000 more Nebraska fans per game to watch their beloved Huskers.

Nebraska volleyball, which carried the nation’s longest home sellout streak in the history of any NCAA women’s sport with 181 consecutive sellouts (2001-12) at the historic Nu Coliseum, has guaranteed another season of sellouts in its first year at the Devaney Center. Not only did the Huskers quickly sell out the new 7,907-seat capacity at the Devaney Center long before the season began, they also have room for nearly 400 standing-room seats at each game and a season-ticket waiting list of well over 1,000.

During the last two decades, Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s top three volleyball programs in average home attendance every season. In 2012, the Huskers finished second nationally by averaging 4,287 fans per match. Hawaii, the NCAA’s annual attendance leader for many years, drew 6,675 per home match in 2012. As the Huskers’ new home in 2013, the Devaney Center will put Nebraska in position to lead the nation in volleyball attendance on an annual basis.

The renovations to the Devaney Center have done much more than change the capacity. Massive red ceiling trusses helped create a similar environment in the arena to the Huskers’ former home in the Coliseum. A great wall, which replicates the old Coliseum entry, adds to an atmosphere steeped in tradition. While the new Devaney Center pays homage to the history of the Coliseum, which served as the home to Husker NCAA Championship teams in 1995, 2000 and 2006, the innovative design and technological advances inside also symbolize the visionary contributions of AVCA All-Time Great Coaches Terry Pettit and John Cook.

HuSkeRS FIND eVeN MORe TALeNT FOR 2013Head Coach John Cook’s 2013 Huskers include 10 talented additions. Nu welcomed true freshmen Alexa ethridge, kelly Hunter, Melanie keil, kira Larson, Brenna Lyles, Amber Rolfzen, kadie Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes and transfers Mary Pollmiller and kelsey Robinson.
