"Not going to rely on one or the other to win" - Nebraska Volleyball's coach Dani Busboom Kelly opens up on team's approach to retain unbeaten streak 

Nebraska Volleyball's coach Dani Busboom Kelly spoke about the team's approach to maintain the unbeaten streak they have earned so far in the season. Busboom Kelly's volleyball team has recorded a dominant season so far with a 20-0 record.

They defeated the Spartans with a 25-15, 25-15, 25-18 scoreline in the presence of 8,496 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Saturday, 25, 2025. The Cornhuskers' set of attack and defense showed a powerful performance, with the former group scoring multiple kills, including Teraya Sigler (9), Rebekah Allick (8), Harper Murray (8), Virginia Adriano (7), and Andi Jackson.

Jackson and Murray also posted five and four blocks, respectively. With their recent victory over Michigan State, with a 3-0 lead, the Huskers registered their 11th straight-set win. In an interview with SI.com, the Huskers' coach highlighted the team's strength in attack, which she believes was never put to full use.

“Nebraska has always been great defensively and sometimes hasn’t put up offensive numbers," she said. “This year, we’re really putting up really high offensive numbers as well. It’s just the attention to detail and the awareness that we’re going to be great on both sides. We’re not going to rely on one or the other to win games.”

Coach Busboom Kelly joined the Huskers squad in January 2025.

Nebraska Volleyball's coach Dani Busboom Kelly reflects on her team's fame

In an interview with Hail Varsity, Nebraska Volleyball's coach Dani Busboom Kelly reflected on the support the program has been receiving during the away games. She reminisced about the fans' support during their faceoff against Penn State and Rutgers and stated her amazement at the widespread fanbase.

"That was pretty crazy. So, I was not expecting. Both places just felt like the many home games. You know Penn State obviously has a lot of fans, but we had tons of fans there, and they are like lining our bus when we are leaving, which is really awesome and just makes you feel kind of like a rockstar, and Rutgers almost felt more fun than being home because it's players like fans that never get to see us."

"They are so excited and appreciative to be there, and it was just a really good vibe and good feeling, and again it surprised me how big this volleyball team reaches, this program it's not in Nebraska anymore. It's national and a little bit worldwide," Dani Busboom Kelly added.

Nebraska Volleyball will next face Wisconsin on October 31, 2025, at UW Field House.
