Rebekah Allick, one of the driving forces behind Nebraska Volleyball’s dominant run this season, revealed that she hasn’t been overwhelmed by the growing storylines surrounding the team. So far, the Huskers remain undefeated, had a remarkable run of 48 straight set wins in the season before UCLA snapped the streak, among some of the most impressive milestones.
Yet, as one of the team’s co-captains alongside Bergen Reilly and Andi Jackson, Allick made it clear that their goals extend far beyond impressive numbers. While expressing pride in her teammates, she admitted that the group is hungry for something even bigger.
What Goal Are Rebekah Allick and the Nebraska Volleyball Team Laser-Focused On This Season?
The mission that Allick and the entire Nebraska squad have set for themselves this season is clear: to win the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship title in 2025. After falling short as semifinalists last year, the Huskers are determined not to let history repeat itself.
During a post-game on-court interview via Big Ten Network, Allick was asked how she tunes out Nebraska’s dominant season when it’s time to practice. The 2024 AVCA First Serve Showcase MVP made it clear that the Huskers are chasing one ultimate goal of becoming the NCAA champions and not the streaks that surround them.
“At the end of the day we’re trying to be 1 and 0, and that’s on December 21st. So all these stats in between, it’s cool. I’m really proud of my girls for making all these cool awards and stuff, but we’re after one thing and that’s December 21st and to be 1 and 0 on that day. The stat streak was really fun, but like we weren’t playing out of our minds to have a streak.”
It is worth noting that the NCAA Women’s Championship will be held in Kansas City this time scheduled between December 18-21.
Allick Reveals Why Pressure Moments Don’t Scare Her and the Person Who Inspires Her Mindset
After Allick received the MVP honor for her performance, in which Nebraska swept Stanford by 3-0, she was interviewed by the Huskers football head coach Matt Rhule, questioning her about how she manages to deliver when it matters the most.
The Nebraska senior didn’t hesitate to share who shaped that mindset, saying the person who taught her to treat every situation as “just a moment” was none other than former Nebraska assistant coach Jordan Larson.
“I think a lot of it comes down to discipline. Jordan Larson is one of my favorite people, one of my favorite coaches and people to have in my life. She’s helped me see the game differently. It’s just a moment, and you can appreciate it, but you never make it bigger than what it is. At the end of the day, it’s the same sport you’ve always played, just in a place like this,” Allick said.
Notably, she had an impressive .600 hitting percentage, with 11 kills and five blocks against Stanford. Since playing Stanford in their second match of the season, the Huskers have come a long way and currently hold a 26-0 record.
