Add three more medals to the count for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Sunday morning, former Nebraska volleyball standouts Justine Wong-Orantes, Jordan Larson and Kelsey Robinson Cook won silver medals as part of Team USA.

Unfortunately, the U.S. was swept by Italy in the gold medal match in Paris, but all three Huskers played well and are taking home some hardware. It’s the second Olympic medal for Wong-Orantes, the third for Robinson and the fourth for Larson.

Wong-Orantes had a match-high 15 digs to go with six successful receptions; Larson had five kills, six digs and two receptions; and Robinson Cook tallied a pair of digs plus three receptions.
