The Nebraska women’s volleyball team cruised into the quarterfinals with ease. They overcame the challenge from Kansas Volleyball in the Round of 16 game at the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championships, as the Jayhawks were defeated in straight sets by 12-25, 11-25, 12-25.
Following the comprehensive defeat, the head coach of the opposing team, Matt Ulmer, opened up about the impact of Nebraska Volleyball. He also credited the Big Red for keeping their cool and not succumbing to any kind of pressure.
Kansas Coach Gets Real About Nebraska Volleyball’s Brilliance
During the post-match press conference, Ulmer opened up about where the Jayhawks went wrong in their performance. When asked about his opinion on Nebraska ‘being good on film,’ the coach nonchalantly replied.
“Yeah, no exactly. Again, you’re you, you know, just trying to find something to pick apart. You know, it’s like to really having to nitpick to try to figure out what to do to make them uncomfortable and um, you have to just execute a much higher level than what we were able to do,” he added.
The Huskers have won their third consecutive game at the NCAA Championships after overcoming challenges from LIU and Kansas State University, respectively. They will now compete against the Texas A&M Aggies in the quarterfinals. The game will be held on December 14 at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Nebraska Volleyball’s Performance this Season
Ever since the Nebraska women’s volleyball team commenced the season with a 3-1 victory against the Pittsburgh Panthers, they have had a single mission on their minds: Complete Dominance. The 33-0 streak achieved by the Big Red team till now solidifies their aim as well.
Under head coach Dani Busboom Kelly, the Huskers aim to achieve the golden streak of 2000, where they maintained their invincible streak until the NCAA Championship victory. The Huskers won the Big Ten Conference with a record streak of 30-0. With the exception of the Kentucky Wildcats and Creighton Bluejays, not one team managed to put up significant resistance against the Huskers.
Following the victory at the Big Ten, Nebraska overcame challenges from the LIU Sharks and the Kansas State Wildcats. If they overcome the challenge from the Texas A&M Aggies, Nebraska will most likely face either the Texas Longhorns or the Kentucky Wildcats in the semifinals. If the Huskers wish to win the NCAA Championships this time around, they will have to ensure that their game remains top-notch.
