In the post-match press conference, Harper Murray reflected on how this spring season felt different as compared to previous ones.

"Yeah, we worked on a lot this spring, per usual, but just with Dani having things be a little bit different. Practice plans were different, and the way we run, warm ups, and everything is different. So we’re still adjusting, but we’re super excited for the fall, and I’m sure we’ll get into a little bit more of a groove when the fall starts in August," she said (1:33 onwards)

Following the long-time coach John Cook’s retirement, Dani Busboom Kelly took over as head coach of the Huskers team. A former Husker herself and former head coach of the Louisville Cardinals, Busboom Kelly, previously assisted Cook in 2015 when the team won the NCAA title in Omaha.
