The Nebraska Volleyball team embarked on a new journey after Dani Busboom Kelly took over as the head coach of the team since the conclusion of the previous NCAA Division I Volleyball season. The team made their first appearance since the coaching change and competed in a series of Spring Matches.

They competed against South Dakota State in front of a fully packed stadium at Ord High School. As reported by the official press release by the Nebraska Volleyball team, the hype surrounding the match led the tickets to sell out in 27 minutes. The Huskers won the game in straight sets 25-18, 25-19, 25-17. However, the coaches agreed to play another set, which was yet again dominated by the Nebraska Volleyball team, with a score of 25-19.
