Nebraska volleyball cruises to 20-0 start, again. Is there anything stopping the Huskers?
LINCOLN, Neb. — The trajectory looks identical. The numbers for Nebraska’s top-ranked volleyball team in 2026 tell a story similar to a year ago, when the Huskers stayed undefeated until the round of eight in the NCAA Tournament. Thursday night, they swept UCLA, a top-16 team entering the week, before a full house of more than 10,000 at the Devaney Center. Nebraska is 20-0 and 9-0 in league play.…
Nebraska's volleyball team, ranked at the top, started the season with an impressive 20-0 record and 9-0 in conference play. The team dominated a game against UCLA, a top-16 team, in front of over 10,000 fans at the Devaney Center. Nebraska leads the Division I in hitting and opponent hitting percentages since 2014. The team's core players from 2025 remain, with four seniors returning and three freshmen added.
They have improved at the service line, showing increased motivation after a loss to Texas A&M in the previous season. The competition this year is fierce, with teams like Pitt, Kentucky, and Florida posing significant threats. Nebraska's approach this year focuses less on their undefeated streak and more on daily actions to prepare for the postseason.
The team's senior core, including Harper Murray, Bergen Reilly, Andi Jackson, and Laney Choboy, has a strong history of success. However, the seniors acknowledge they haven't won a national title yet and must approach the season differently to balance their expectations.
