Top-ranked Nebraska was too much for Oklahoma on Saturday as the Cornhuskers swept the Sooners 30-25, 30-21 and 30-25.

The loss ended OU's 15-match win streak, and it was the Sooners' first loss at home since losing to Nebraska last season. OU drops to 15-4 on the season and 7-4 in Big 12 play. Nebraska kept its record perfect: 16-0 and 9-0 in league play.
"I thought there were a few rotations that were the difference in the match,” OU coach Santiago Restrepo said. "Nebraska is a very good team, but I also don't like to think that we played our best tonight.”
The Sooners have another challenging match this week as No. 7 Texas comes to Norman on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Notwithstanding the "noteworthy" section, why would this story be on the OSU page? Put it on the OU page where it belongs. If you are going to publish an Oklahoma State page, please provide exclusively OSU stories, not 98% OU stories under the guise of such. But I am thankful there was no mention of "chicken" and mothers in the story.
