Officials suspended the Nebraska and Missouri volleyball match at Wrigley Field on August 30 due to hazardous court conditions. The match faced significant delays following an earlier contest between Penn State and Kentucky. Once play commenced, players struggled with a slippery surface, leading to multiple interruptions for maintenance efforts by coaching staff and players. Nebraska held an 11-7 lead in the first set before the decision was made to halt the event indefinitely. The postponement occurred despite a crowd of 43,687 gathered at the venue. Organizers have not yet announced a date for the resumption of the match. Nebraska is scheduled to return to the court this Thursday in Lincoln for a contest against New Mexico.
