Perfect Regular Season Secured for Third Time

Nebraska has accomplished what only a handful of programs have done in school history.

Nebraska’s attacking prowess was on full display throughout the match. The Huskers controlled all three sets with consistent offensive pressure and strong defensive play. Junior setter Bergen Reilly orchestrated the attack with her typical precision, while outside hitter Harper Murray led the team’s kill attack against the Buckeyes.

The defensive effort complemented the offensive dominance, with Laney Choboy and Olivia Mauch anchoring the back row. Nebraska’s ability to limit errors while maximizing efficiency has been the hallmark of their season-long success.
