Husker Volleyball is Right Around the Corner: Here’s What You Need to Know
We are almost through the stretch of the summer that everyone dreads from year to year. Why do people dread it you may ask? Because there’s no sports on. Well there is, but all you can watch is either the MLB or golf for the most part and those are what I like to call […]
Madison, Wisconsin - October 31, 2025 - The end of summer brings a respite from the lack of sports, but only temporarily. As summer draws to a close, the world of college athletics rapidly comes back to life. For those who eagerly await the return of their favorite sports, the beginning of September marks the start of college sports season.
Husker Volleyball, in particular, has been generating a great deal of excitement. The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a history of success, having been one of the top teams in the nation for a decade or more. This year, they are poised to continue their dominance, with several changes and additions to the roster.
One significant change is the introduction of a new Big Ten Tournament at the end of the regular season, which will displace a couple of regular season matches. Additionally, Nebraska's home venue, Devaney, has been renovated to accommodate even more fans.
The Huskers have already been honored with a preseason ranking and have seen three players selected on the Preseason All-Conference Team: Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly. All three received unanimous selections. Notably, Jackson, Murray, and Reilly were also named to the AVCA Player of the Year Watchlist.
The Huskers' schedule is comprised of two possible exhibition matches, 11 non-conference matches, and 17 regular season Big Ten matches. The regular season culminates with the Big Ten Tournament before a potential NCAA Tournament berth in December.
In terms of non-conference matches, the Huskers' lineup seems a bit less challenging compared to previous years. While they will face notable opponents, there appears to be a lack of strong competition in the early season. The Huskers' home opener is scheduled for September 10th against New Mexico at 6:30 PM CST. Other home matches include games against South Dakota State, Florida, Georgia Tech, Penn State, UNLV, Creighton, Maryland, and North Carolina.
Away games are scheduled against Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, Florida Gulf Coast, Northwestern, Missouri, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Oregon, Purdue, Washington, UCLA, USC, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Rutgers.
