The 5th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney volleyball team remained undefeated on the season after sweeping Colorado State-Pueblo Friday night and getting past Adams State in four sets early Saturday evening.
The Lopers (12-0) started this road trip on Thursday with an easy sweep of New Mexico Highlands. A more veteran and talented Pueblo team pushed the Lopers (-22, -23, -16) while the Grizzlies, another top West Division squad, took the second set from UNK (-16, 16-25, -17, -18).
Prior to that loss, Kearney had won 24 straight sets.
