Nebraska’s outside hitter, Harper Murray, had a difficult journey. Following Nebraska’s loss in the 2023 NCAA Championships finals match, she responded to a question in a press conference about what's next for her and the team.

"I think we are going to win three national championships, in the next three years," she said. (via The Athletic)

This led to a social media backlash with harsh criticisms and trolling. She was later caught shoplifting and was arrested for DUI.

Speaking with Carriker Chronicles, Lexi Rodriguez opened up about her teammate Harper Murray and the struggles she faced.

“Yeah, I mean, I think it wasn’t just me, but she had a lot of different help to try and manage those things and to overcome some of those things. I mean, Meritt, along with myself, just really tried to, you know, be someone she could lean on and be someone she could come to if she needed help or advice or anything like that," Rodriguez said.

She further added,

And I honestly think, just kudos to her because she would just take it as it is and then try to learn and grow from it. You could really see how much she was growing from everything—every time she stepped on the court, her interactions with her teammates and the coaches, and everything like that. So, I really just tried to be someone she could go to and someone she trusted, but honestly, it was a lot of her own doing.”

Former legendary Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook stood by Murray and supported her. Her passion for sport helped her move forward. She is currently one of Nebraska’s star players, having delivered an impressive performance in recent spring exhibitions as well.
