With the Huskers undefeated at 10-0 for the season, Dani Busboom Kelly reflected on her team’s strong start in a press conference ahead of Big Ten play.

“Yeah, just, you know, being able to leave tonight and be 10-0 with a really tough schedule… we don’t want to take that for granted. It’s really hard to win. We’ve been saying that all year. I don’t care who you are, it’s hard to win. There are so many great teams now and great players all over the country. (3:35 onwards)

So, I feel like we’re really well prepared. We’ve also had a lot of single games where we played on Tuesday and Wednesday and, Saturday and Sunday. I think that reflects the conference season, we have a lot of random games, so we should be kind of prepared for everything. We played early, we played late. So, I feel really good going into conference that we’ve experienced a lot.” (via Hail Varsity )

The Nebraska volleyball team will begin Big Ten play at 6 p.m. The match will be televised on BTN and streamed on FoxSports.com.
