In her conversation with the media after the match, Choboy explained how the Nebraska Cornhuskers regrouped for the unexpected comeback. In her words,

“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."

Choboy is currently a junior on the Nebraska Cornhuskers' team and has earned multiple accolades for the team. Choboy led all the players in the match with a total of 16 digs against the opposition team.
