**Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly Previews Key Match Against Wisconsin Badgers**
The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team is gearing up to face off against the Wisconsin Badgers tomorrow at the UW Field House in Madison, Wisconsin. In a recent press conference, head coach Dani Busboom Kelly shared insights about the much-anticipated matchup and the team’s strategy.
Despite Nebraska having won all three matches against Wisconsin last season, Coach Kelly emphasized that the Huskers are not taking the upcoming game lightly. When asked if the team is ready, she responded,
*“Feels like they are hungry and just excited to play in a crazy environment and, you know, take on another great player. I think it’s always fun to, um, go into a match, you know, hoping to perform at a high level and be able to slow somebody down. Um, but you know, I also think this team hasn’t had a challenge like that in a while. So, you know, hopefully it doesn’t come out that we’ve been complacent or that, you know, we need this.”* [00:31 onwards]
The Nebraska Volleyball team is currently on an impressive winning streak, having secured 20 consecutive victories this season. Even more remarkable is that the last 11 games were clean sweeps, with the Huskers not conceding a single set.

**Rebekah Allick Highlights Nebraska’s Drive for a National Championship**
Nebraska player Rebekah Allick recently spoke about the team’s ultimate goal: reclaiming the NCAA Championship. The Cornhuskers haven’t won the national title since 2017, and Allick stressed that the current winning streak means little without securing the championship.
In a pre-game press conference, Allick reflected on the team’s perspective:
*“It’s an accolade, but it’s nothing more than an Instagram post. It doesn’t decide if you won the national championship or a conference title or anything. Becoming fixated on the outcome has never ever worked in anyone’s favor. So just staying in the moment is huge. And a big takeaway that I have from John Cook, like just coaching me over the last few years, he almost used to come with a little bit of an attitude when we were ranked number one. He was like, ‘So you think you guys can just coach this week because you’re ranked number one?’”*
Since their last NCAA Championship win in 2017, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have come agonizingly close on three occasions, finishing as runners-up in 2018, 2021, and 2023.
