Bergen Reilly reflects on whether she would prefer back-to-back matches or have a day off in between two games for Nebraska Volleyball

Bergen Reilly opened up on her preference for playing back-to-back matches or having a day in between two games for Nebraska Volleyball. In an interaction with media (Week 6), she explained that consecutive games help her stay in game mode, stating (3:00 onwards):
“I personally really like back-to-backs. I think it might be different for the hitters who have to jump all the time. I guess I have to jump too, but I like it. I think it's just cool, it keeps you in game mode. Sometimes, long away trips can make you more tired than two games back-to-back.”
“So, that’s kind of how I see it. Having a four-or five-day away trip kind of gets me out of my routine and almost takes longer to recover from than just two games in a row. So, I personally like it.”
Notably, the team has started incredibly well this season and currently on a 14-match winning streak, following a heartbreaking loss last year in the NCAA Championships semifinals against Penn State by 3-2.
