So incredibly proud of this team. No one else I would rather end my club career with than this team.

18 Gold finished Nationals tied for 5th.
I speak for all Coaches & Family when I say how proud we all are of each of you girls, and the fight you had all week. So much fun to watch.

Today, 11 BFFs played their final club vb game together ❤️🖤🫶

Season record~ 50-7

A morning W against Iowa Rockets, and a little good fortune from other pool matches, has already clinched us 1st place in the Pool.

We play at 10am to close out Pool Play, and will play a Crossover to get into Gold at 5pm PST.

[Premier Nebraska 18 Gold @Premier_18Gold]

With a 2-0 victory vs AZ Sky, WE ARE HEADED TO THE GOLD BRACKET!!!
It was a total team effort that propelled us into the Top 8.

We are so proud of the determination shown by this group to fight every game.
Are we happy in Top 8? Yes
Are we content? Not a chance
One. Day. More

[Premier Nebraska 18 Gold @Premier_18Gold]

A few 3 set nail-biters, but we pulled them out and had a 3-0 day! This team is GRITTY. It's just so much fun watching them play.

Tomorrow's matches will determine if we finish 1, 2 or 3 in the pool

Yesterday at Practice was the last time that all three Premier 18s teams would be in the gym together before we head to Nationals next week! It has been a fun-filled final year for all teams, and we are excited to end it together in Reno! #26Seniorsin2026
