She responded by hitting .778 with 7 kills on 9 swings in the match-deciding fifth.

An instant classic five-set win for Nebraska to go to 22-0.
As much as we talk about the freshmen, this is Merritt Beason’s team and she proved it tonight. 27 kills on .426 is bonkers. 6 kills in the final set including the match ender.
This team just knows how to win man.
Hard not to get emotional about this. Two kids were selected to read their hand-written note to the Nebraska Volleyball team.
Very wholesome moment today at the Coliseum.
Campbell Flynn's commitment came down to two options: Nebraska and Texas.
Flynn trusted her gut and choose the

as the 6-foot-2 Michigan native represents the future of the setter position in Lincoln.

What a team, man.
Special has been written all over the

Thank you to everyone who’s tagged along on this journey of mine and can’t wait to share what’s next ✌️
Coming out of HS as a top 15 edge prospect, Elijah Jeudy couldn’t show that talent on a crowded Texas A&M roster.
Now with the
#Huskers
, he’s ready to see the field whether that be on the edge, defensive tackle or even nose tackle 👀
Nebraska could have collapsed after a Jonathan Kim HR in the 8th to tie the game.
Instead, Shay Schanaman responded with his sixth straight scoreless outing while Brice Matthews hit the go-ahead HR in the 10th to lead the

Beason was a leading force for the Gators in back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances and she elevates the competition come spring time.
Following Easter weekend, the

The OL were popping pads the loudest Tuesday as they got my attention for the final open practice of the spring.
The Shay Schanaman-Kyle Perry tandem was elite on Sunday, helping the
#Huskers
cap off a sweep over Penn State on Senior Day.
With the sweep and Illinois losing its series to Rutgers, Nebraska has clinched a spot in the B1G Tournament in Omaha.
Matt Rhule may have snuck into Lincoln, but after Monday, he won't be doing that anymore.
Unlike his predecessors, Rhule has a clear intent on embracing Nebraska and the Lincoln community. An aspect that shouldn't be overlooked.
