Following these matches, Busboom Kelly recently made her feelings known about her team's commitment in the first episode of 'The Epicenter', a Nebraska volleyball original series. The coach called the team "super hungry" for victories and lauded their work ethic.

“This team is super hungry, and from day one, there has not been any wavering in their work ethic or the mentality they went into the sand with or came into the gym with, which has been really impressive. Just to see that every day the commitment to be great and the commitment to use this for fuel for the fall, when it feels so far away is incredible," said Dani Busboom Kelly.

The Nebraska volleyball team wrapped up its 2024 season after competing at the NCAA volleyball championships, where they couldn't advance further than the semifinal round.
