**Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly Praises Taylor Landfair’s Stellar Performance Against Minnesota**

Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly recently shared her thoughts on Taylor Landfair’s incredible performance against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Landfair, who previously represented the Minnesota team, put up an impressive 11 kills without committing a single error.

In a post-match interview, Coach Kelly highlighted how the opponents seemed to have underestimated Landfair’s potential. According to her, the Minnesota team appeared more focused on defending against attacks from Rebekah Allick, Andi Jackson, and Harper Murray.

“She’s the last person right now that teams focus on. When she’s playing that well, it just feels like we can do anything offensively,” Kelly remarked, emphasizing Landfair’s impact on the game.

**Minnesota Coach Acknowledges Landfair’s Unseen Strengths**

Interestingly, Kelly wasn’t the only one impressed by Landfair’s performance. Keegan Cook, the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, also commented on her standout play after the game.

“If you haven’t seen Taylor hitting the sharp angle, which a lot of our young guys haven’t seen before, it could be tough. I wasn’t thrilled that we couldn’t make those adjustments, but it’s a tall task to ask if you’ve never seen it before,” Cook said.

**Nebraska Extends Winning Streak to 24-0**

With back-to-back wins against the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Nebraska Volleyball team has extended its undefeated streak to 24-0 this season.

**Coach Kelly on Maintaining Team Morale After Tough Victories**

Ahead of the match against the Illinois Fighting Illini, Dani Busboom Kelly opened up about the importance of maintaining the team’s morale following hard-fought victories. In a press conference, she stated:

“It is really tough to win, no matter what level, what sport, and we never want to lose sight of that, and that’s something that I have always been a firm believer in. I also am a firm believer that we spend a lot of our time together and a lot of our time with our sport, and if we can’t enjoy and celebrate the little things, then we are going to drive ourselves crazy.”

She further emphasized the need for enthusiasm as the season progresses, adding,

“When December comes in, you’re relieved that the season’s over, and I don’t want our players to walk out of here feeling that they are relieved, I want them to feel like they can’t wait to be back.”

**A New Era for Nebraska Volleyball**

Dani Busboom Kelly took over as head coach of the Nebraska Volleyball team last year, succeeding John Cook, who announced his retirement after the 2024 NCAA Championships. Under her leadership, the team continues to thrive and demonstrate remarkable resilience and skill.

**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.

With momentum on their side and a focused mindset, the Nebraska Cornhuskers aim to continue their dominance and push closer to their championship aspirations as they take on the Wisconsin Badgers tomorrow. Fans can expect a thrilling showdown at the UW Field House.
