The Dani Busboom Kelly era is here for Nebraska Volleyball. And let's be real, the expectations? Through the roof.
New Coach, Same Goals
After 25 years of John Cook's leadership, Busboom Kelly takes the reins. But don't expect any drop. Nebraska has made it to the national semifinals three times in the last four seasons. This team knows how to handle business.
The season kicks off with the AVCA First Serve Showcase. Nebraska started hot, taking down No. 3 Pittsburgh in a 3-1 battle. This wasn't just a win. This was a statement. Rebekah Allick and her squad showed no mercy. The Huskers then swept No. 6 Stanford like it was light work. Straight up dominant.
Momentum Builders
Week 1 set the tone. And Week 2? Nebraska kept rolling. They swept Lipscomb in front of a record crowd. That's how you make an entrance, folks. It was all about building momentum for the Broadway Block Party against Kentucky.
The Huskers are sitting pretty at 4-0. And with stars like Harper Murray and Andi Jackson, they're just getting started. This team isn't just playing matches. They're putting on a clinic.
What's Next?
The schedule is packed. From Creighton to the Big Ten powerhouses, Nebraska will face every challenger head-on. Every match is a test. But with this lineup? They have no intention of failing.
Busboom Kelly isn't afraid to keep Cook's legacy alive while creating her own path. And you can feel it. This isn't just a new chapter. It's a whole new book.
And from there... it was over.
That'll do it.
