Nebraska volleyball fans, get ready. The 2025 non-conference schedule? It's shaping up to be nothing short of a power play.
Big Names, Big Games
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are rolling out the red carpet at the Bob Devaney Sports Center for some serious competition. Hosting Cal, Drake, Grand Canyon, and Utah? That's no joke. These matches, set for September, have the flexibility that adds a bit of mystery. No fixed times yet, but you know these will be showdowns. And just like that, Nebraska is making sure their preseason isn't just a warm-up — it's a statement.
Creighton Clash Continues
One of the highlights? The annual throwdown with Creighton. Mark your calendars for September 16 at the CHI Health Center in Omaha. This is where things get real. Nebraska's already set the stage for drama with non-conference games against Pittsburgh on August 22 and Stanford on August 24 in the AVCA First Serve event. Back-to-back blockbusters.
Broadway Block Party
But wait, there's more. The Huskers are heading to Nashville for the "Broadway Block Party" on August 31. Facing off against Kentucky at Bridgestone Arena? That's big time. With Purdue vs. Tennessee and Illinois vs. Vanderbilt rounding out the triple-header, it's a volleyball fan's dream.
New Era, Same Ambition
Under the new leadership of Dani Busboom Kelly, the Huskers are not just filling shoes; they're redefining them. After taking over from John Cook, who led Nebraska to four national championships, Busboom Kelly is here to shake things up. A former Nebraska player, she knows the legacy — and she's ready to add to it.
This schedule isn't just a list of games. It's a roadmap to dominance. You could feel it coming. And from there… it was over.
