Rubber Match! - Nebraska vs UCLA Battle for Series Win

Here's the deal - Nebraska lost Friday's game 1-0 in extra innings. 

Then the Huskers won Saturday's game 2-1 in extra innings. That sets up today's game for the series!

Consider this your game thread. Besides, what else you going to do, sit around and wait for more snow?
