Harper Murray put forward an incredible performance to register a career-high 23 kills of 47 attacks and 15 digs that played an integral role in helping the team to clinch the victory. She spoke about the team's incredible comeback in a post-match interview and said:

"We weren’t playing Nebraska volleyball those first two sets, and that’s what we talked about between the second and the third, we had to go back to us, and that’s what we did.”

The Nebraska Volleyball team's coach, Dani Busboom Kelly, was impressed by their outstanding performance and expressed her thoughts on Instagram.

"Fantastic Team win today!" she wrote.
