Nebraska women’s volleyball has absolutely stormed out of the gates with a dominant 13-0 record, proving why they earned that No. 1 spot in the preseason AVCA coaches poll. This isn’t just a strong run; it’s a fierce statement as they look to erase the memory of last year’s Elite Eight heartbreak.
The Championship Hunt is ON
Last season, these Huskers were on an absolute tear, racking up 33 consecutive wins and sitting at the top of the national polls. Everyone thought it was their year, but then they ran into eventual champions Texas A&M in the Elite Eight and it all came crashing down. That kind of loss leaves a mark, and you can bet it’s fueling every single player on this squad.
Especially for the senior class. We are talking about star power here: outside hitter Harper Murray, middle blocker Andi Jackson, setter Bergen Reilly, and libero Laney Choboy are all in their final year. They’ve got an extra sense of determination to secure that national title before they graduate. And with Dani Busboom-Kelly now in her second year at the helm, the question everyone is asking is, can she lead this powerhouse group all the way this time?
Absolute Dominance on the Court
Looking at the schedule, it’s been nothing short of spectacular. This team is not just winning, they are putting on a clinic. They kicked off their 2026 campaign at AT&T Stadium, taking down Florida 2-0 and SMU 2-0 on August 27. Then they rolled into Las Vegas and swept UNLV 3-0, followed by a huge 3-0 win against Texas. That’s a statement right there!
They kept the momentum going, sweeping South Dakota State 3-0 on September 2, and then DePaul 3-0 on September 4. Even when their game against Missouri at Wrigley Field was postponed, they just waited and delivered a 3-0 sweep against them later in September. We saw more clean 3-0 sweeps against New Mexico, Baylor, and Creighton. They gave up only one set in their wins over Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Florida Gulf Coast. This 13-0 start isn’t a fluke, it’s a full-throttle assault on the competition.
