Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly reflected on the growth of Maisie Boesiger both as an athlete and as a teammate following her brief appearance in the program’s match against Stanford, where she was subbed into the game. Boesiger is in her final season with the Huskers and earned her bachelor’s degree in Advertising & Public Relations in May of this year.

The Huskers comfortably defeated Stanford 3-0, with scores of 25-13, 25-19, and 25-14. The win followed their 3-1 victory over Pittsburgh in the AVCA First Serve.

Following Nebraska Volleyball’s dominant victory, head coach Dani Busboom Kelly was asked about Maisie Boesiger’s role in the game and her overall growth. In her first year leading the Cornhuskers, Kelly spoke highly of Boesiger, saying (from 4:13 onwards):

“She’s a great teammate from what I’ve known of her over the past four years. She’s been a great teammate and she’s really improved. I think not only did she earn it from being a great teammate and a great person, but she also earned it with her play.”

She also talked about Maisie’s performance against Stanford, adding:

“It was great to see her come in ice cold, get them out of system three times in a row, and then, going up against their best server, she nailed a pass. At that point, you just kind of say, ‘Let’s leave her in there,’ because she can perform in those big moments.”
