"Thank you for the best two years. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime. This place is one of a kind - from the culture and traditions, to the support, to the people, and everything in between. I am so grateful to have been a part of it. To my teammates, coaches, and support staff: thank you for always supporting me and pushing me to be my best. This journey would not have been half of what it has been without each and every one of you."
"It has been an honor to be a part of this program and this University. There truly is no place like Nebraska! GBR"
Merritt Beason has 191 kills in the 2025 LOVB season so far and will look to wrap up her season on a high note.
