As they say, endings are often painful, and this is especially true for Nebraska Volleyball’s Rebekah Allick, who is set to conclude her final year in the program after this season. As the regular season comes to a close for Nebraska on Saturday with the Ohio State game, all the senior players of the team, including Allick, will get special recognition in front of a packed Bob Devaney Sports Center.
For the ongoing season, Allick serves as the co-captain of the team, in addition to her usual duties as an impressive middle blocker on the court.
Nebraska Volleyball Player Rebekah Allick Isn’t Prepared Mentally for Her Senior Night on Saturday
As a Nebraska player, Allick has won three conference championships with the team, twice outright in 2023 and 2025, and a shared title with Penn State last year. Additionally, she has been a cornerstone of the team, playing in the middle of the court, and has accumulated 775 kills and 49 assists throughout her career.
As this journey concludes, Allick couldn’t help but shed tears in a recent press conference ahead of the Penn State game.
The Nebraska middle blocker said, “You literally just don’t think about it, like there’s no way to prepare for it. I remember, I think about Lexi a lot, like the second she started talking about it, she’d start crying and lile, “Oh got it, so don’t talk about it,” and so I see now why she did it, because not even that, it’s a sensitive subject, but it’s just kind of like a baby. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
Further in the conversation, Allick conveyed her deep love for the program and the state’s passion for volleyball, also expressing her excitement to compete in the postseason next month.
Allick Shared Her Feelings About Nebraska Winning the Big 10 Championship title
Allick addressed her feelings about Nebraska’s remarkable consistency in the 2025 season, which led to the team winning the Big Ten Conference Championship title. The Huskers have clinched 28 consecutive victories this season, maintaining a perfect 18-0 conference record so far.
Speaking about her team’s achievement, Allick said, “Consistency, it rewards itself, so we were actually taking about it last night at dinner, how other conferences will have a tournament, and like one team, all they have to do is turn on for a few matches, versus the Big Ten, which rewards consistency. So, for me it’s a testament to our program, our coaches, our girls.”
However, winning the conference title isn’t the end of the road for Allick and her teammates as they aspire to win the national title for the first time since 2017.
