Amber Rolfzen credits the doughnuts.The Andes Mints ones from the new Hurts Donut in Lincoln, Nebraska.Her new ritual this fall is heading to Hurts when Nebraska has a home volleyball weekend and indulging. Its working, too, notes the espnW volleyball player of the week, who averaged 4.0 kills per set on .560 hitting in Nebraskas victories over No. 4 Wisconsin and No. 3 Minnesota over the weekend.Amber was just in the zone all weekend, Nebraska coach John Cook said. She made it look easy.After fueling up on Andes Mints doughnuts or occasionally the peanut butter cup ones, and sometimes adding in the Nutella kind, Rolfzen insists she plays better.I actually didnt go the morning of the Ohio State match, Amber said, her voice trailing off about the one hiccup the Cornhuskers suffered in 2016.A year ago just about to the day, the times werent so sweet. Last Oct. 23 and 24, Nebraska fell to Minnesota and Wisconsin, respectively, at home.I remember everything, Rolfzen said. We didnt play very well against Minnesota and figured we had a chance to come back against Wisconsin, and the same thing happened. We had probably an hour and a half talk in the locker room. From there, we regrouped, refocused.And never lost again in 2015. Nebraska won its fourth national title and, at 9-1 this year in the Big Ten, is alongside Penn State at the top of the conference.Cook said that during the first half of last season Rolfzens stats were average in the Big Ten, but now the middle blocker puts up an outstanding line in the nations toughest conference.I trust myself and the reads I have every time, Rolfzen said.Top-ranked Nebraska (18-1) left no doubt vs. the Badgers, sweeping them behind a career-high 16 kills and .609 hitting from Rolfzen. It was the Cornhuskers third straight sweep of a top-five opponent.We definitely outserved them, Rolfzen said. They werent in system very often. When a team isnt in system that often, theyre easy to read and to defend. We served really well, and that allowed the blockers to get in really good position and the setters to get in good position.Sundays match against Minnesota wasnt as easy -- Nebraska needed all five sets, with Rolfzen contributing 16 kills again to go with six blocks. The senior was also named Big Ten Player of the Week, an award her twin sister, Kadie, won last week. Kadie also plays at Nebraska.Minnesota ran a fast offense, probably the fastest well see all year, Amber Rolfzen said. We adjusted to that and we did everything well, just like Friday. Staying calm the entire weekend, I think, got us the two wins.As good as the Cornhuskers are, Rolfzen knows that taking a night off in the Big Ten isnt an option. Nebraska hosts Illinois and Northwestern this weekend, will play Minnesota on the road, and still has two games against Penn State, the first on Nov. 4.This is the highest level of any team Ive ever played on, Rolfzen said. We know what it takes to win the national championship. Now we have to do it again. Lenny Dykstra Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. Odubel Herrera Jersey . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. https://www.cheapphilliesjerseys.us/447n-chris-short-jersey-phillies.html . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. Jimmy Rollins Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Roy Halladay Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy conceded Cronulla deserved their NRL grand final win, but said nothing could take away the pride he felt for his side.The Sharks ended their 49 year premiership drought on Sunday at ANZ Stadium, with a 14-12 defeat of the minor premiers the Storm.Cronulla dominated large tracts of the game and fought back from 12-8 late in the game to triumph.Im really proud of what we have done this year, tonight doesnt change that, Bellamy said.We have been fighting all year, we have been resilient all year. We have been gusty all year and they have been gutsy again tonight.I dont care what anyone says, no one is going to make me less proud of what we have done this year.They have been great for our club and magnificent for our game.Not just on the field but how they have conducted themselves off the field.They have built the game in the enemy territory.Bellamy said his side failled to take their chances in the season decider.ddddddddddddWe had a couple of chances there towards the end, but without doubt Cronulla were the better side, especially in the first half.To win the first premiership the club has ever won, that is a huge effort. They played well and stared with a lot of energy.At the end of the day they deserved to win.Will Chambers ignored an unmarked Cooper Cronk in the final minutes of the game, in a play that could have given the Storm the win had he passed him the ball.It was definitely on, Bellamy said.You can look at that and rewind it and say he should have done this or thatBut if he wasnt our best player, he was one of our best.We are not going to hold Will responsible. He put on a great play to get in a position like that. ' ' '
