In a post shared on Instagram by NCAA Volleyball, Choboy explained how her and the Nebraska Volleyball team managed to bounce back after their third-set loss and win the match against Pittsburgh at the AVCA First Serve.

“Good teams are going to fight back, like they're not going to go down easy. And Pitt is an amazing team, but so are we. So when we get punched a little bit, we can punch harder, and they can do the same thing. So they came on the third set, you know, punched really hard for a second there, and, you know, took that side, but we decided we got to stay together like previously so in the fourth set we just said, "Gotta stick together and take it" and we can.”
