The visit made the program's outside hitter emotional, who couldn't control herself on her way back."I don't remember realizing how big Nebraska Volleyball was. Obviously the past few years, volleyball has grown as a whole, but I remember coming here and I came with Ally, Kenna, Lexi, Rylee Gray, and all of them and I remember just loving them to death, like they kind of took me under the wing and I hung out with them the whole camp, they were already committed but I remember taking pictures with them, like they were signing balls for other campers that were there and I remember seeing them and being like I wanna play with them.""I remember leaving and crying on the plane back to Michigan because I knew I wanted to go there," Murray added.
