Safe to say it was a weekend to remember in Nebraska with a trio of huge wins for the #Huskers

As Harper Murray enters her third season at Nebraska, it’s her time to take center stage.

The 6-foot-2 outside hitter is a 2X All-American and is also one of the biggest personalities on social media, a spokesperson for mental health and a fan favorite.

Past will meet present this weekend for Nebraska volleyball as a team filled with All-Americans will take on the current squad in the Alumni match.

“I'm just really excited, and I know it's gonna be really fun and competitive,” junior Harper Murray said.

Kelly (Hunter) Natter’s offseason was full of changes. She now has a new boss, new position to coach and a new name. She’s embraced the opportunity and is ready for another season.
Plus: other lessons learned from the Red-White Scrimmage.

SEASON PREVIEW: The last time Nebraska went through a coaching change, the Huskers won a national championship in 2000.

Now with Dani Busboom Kelly replacing John Cook, NU will try to repeat history and claim the title in Kansas City this December.

Rebekah Allick had a "fairy-tale day" to kick off her senior season.

Along with her fellow middle blockers, she stood out during a competitive Red-White Scrimmage and also claimed the Huskers' Lifter of the Year award.

More takeaways from Saturday:

Here are my three quick takeaways from Nebraska's Red-White scrimmage:
- Standout match for Allick
- No definitive answers for starters
- Freshmen looked solid, especially the middles
https://t.co/1WMztJggVj

[Lincoln Arneal @Lincoln_VB]

Here's the combined stats across the four sets.

Allick led the way 16 kills and 5 block while Murray had 15. Adriano added 11 kills, 3 aces.

Good match for the freshmen MBs: Ogbechie with 5 kills, 8 blocks. Cogill had 10 kills hitting .421

[Lincoln Arneal @Lincoln_VB]

White claims the fourth set 25-17 to salvage a set. The Red Team won the first three sets.

Allick led the way with 16 kills for both teams while Murray added 15.

Lots of good flashes, but also a few struggles given how early in the preseason it is.

Brotherhood & BBQ with the best in the business, Jack Arnold!

[Lincoln Arneal @Lincoln_VB]

Even though the Red-White Scrimmage will be a "glorified practice," the Huskers are ready to show off what they've been working on during the first two weeks of fall practice.
“I think it'll be a really fun event from start to finish,” Busboom Kelly said.

She's headed back to Nebraska!

After being the No. 1 draft pick by Atlanta last year, former Husker All-American Merritt Beason will join the Supernovas for her second season.

Last week, I sat down with Grace McNamara at the Big Ten Media Days. I asked McNamara, the league's volleyball sport administrator, about a wide range of topics from the evolution of the event, conference tournaments, revenue sharing and more.

AVCA coaches, including Dani Busboom Kelly, voted Nebraska as the top team entering the 2025 season. The Huskers own the ranking, but are focused on the journey to finish there too.

Plus a report on the newcomers, position battles and Reilly as captain.

Brennan Hagar took an “unbelievably non-traditional” route from growing up in Casper, Wyoming to becoming an assistant coach at Nebraska. Nevertheless, he’s living out his dream working with the Huskers this year.

[Lincoln Arneal @Lincoln_VB]

Nebraska opens the 2025 season as the No. 1 ranked team in the AVCA Coaches Poll with 40 first-place votes. Defending champ Penn St is No. 2 and topped 21 ballots. They are followed by Pitt, Louisville and Texas.
Rest of Top 10: Stanford, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Texas A&M and SMU.

What retirement?

Former Nebraska coach John Cook is joining the Omaha Supernovas ownership group and will become the team’s general manager.
