Ahead of competing in the 2025 season as a senior, Nebraska Volleyball's Rebekah Allick reflected on the program narrowly missing the title at the 2024 NCAA Championships. The Cornhuskers earned a spot to compete in the semifinal round after defeating Creighton 3-2.However, the squad fell short before Penn State's dominant performance, 3-2, ending their quest before the final round. Had the Huskers won the semifinal against Penn State, they would have competed in their seventh final round. In a recent interview with Hail Varsity, she looked back at the match, stating it was tough but admirable.She further added that while she showed sportsmanship on the court after the heartbreaking defeat, she felt a mix of anger and sadness after giving everything."It still burns," Allick said. "It was just different. You know, my freshman year, that was a freaking fluke. That was infuriating. And then my sophomore year, that was just brutal. An absolute beatdown on national television. So, yeah, kudos to Texas. And then Penn State, man, that is just like a gritty match."Allick added:"At the end of the game, I was wishing them luck and, you know, telling them to go kick some butt. Um, yeah. Yeah. So, like in the name of sportsmanship, honestly, I was like, "Okay, like I tip my hat to you." But leaving and like sitting in the locker room, it was just like a mixture of anger, sadness, and like I don't know cuz I feel like I left everything out on the floor."
