BELLEVUE, Neb. – Northwestern returned to non-conference action in Nebraska, opening the weekend with a sweep of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.).

NWC 3, LWC 0 (25-16, 25-11, 25-21)
How It Happened
In its first of three matches on the weekend, the Red Raiders took down the Blue Raiders of Lindsey Wilson in straight sets.

After giving up the first point in set one, Northwestern did not trail again in the set, moving ahead 1-0 with a 25-16 win. A 6-1 run bookended by kills for Maddy Sampson and Alysen Dexter moved the Raiders ahead 18-11, followed by another 4-1 rally to close the set.

Northwestern jumped ahead 10-4 in the second, but Lindsey Wilson cut into the deficit with a 3-0 run to make it 10-7. The Red Raiders then took six of the next seven points, forcing a Lindsey timeout. The Blue Raiders adjusted to gain a few points back, but Northwestern closed strong with a 7-0 run to finish the set, guided by the serving success of Sidney Oostra (3 aces).
