Nebraska Volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly revealed the reason behind playing freshman Campbell Flynn in all the sets as setter ahead of junior Bergen Reilly during the spring game against South Dakota State.
Both setters got some time during the first spring match against Kansas and performed impressively with 19 and 23 assists, respectively, as the Huskers won 4-0. However, in the second game, there were no signs of Reilly as Flynn played as the major setter throughout the 4-0 victory over South Dakota State.
Speaking about this in a post-match conference, Kelly said Reilly has a slight discomfort in her wrist, which led the coaching staff to play Flynn and not exaggerate Reilly's situation. The Nebraska Volleyball coach said (via Hail Varsity, 00:09 onwards):
"Bergen's kind of battling a sore wrist and just after warm-ups just felt like it was the best thing to do to not push it. Campbell's super capable and great for her to have that experience and really wanted everybody to get a start this spring. It was just a last minute decision to not push somebody going into a long break."
Bergen Reilly has been a regular feature in the Nebraska Huskers lineup during her first two seasons, playing 122 and 121 sets respectively.
On the other hand, coach Kelly had a good start to her stint with the Huskers as they won both contests of their spring season.
