She began her freshman year at the Huskers as a redshirt in 2017. Stivrins became the second player in the program's rally-scoring era to register at least 1,000 career kills and 500 blocks before graduating in communication studies. While expressing her gratitude after the recent match, Stivrins couldn't hold her emotions, highlighting that it could have been her last indoor game. She said the experience was a full circle as her former teammates, roommates, and players from her previous clubs were present at the clash.

I remember coming here and I came with Ally, Kenna, Lexi, Rylee Gray, and all of them and I remember just loving them to death, like they kind of took me under the wing and I hung out with them the whole camp, they were already committed but I remember taking pictures with them, like they were signing balls for other campers that were there and I remember seeing them and being like I wanna play with them."
