Nebraska Volleyball Shatters Attendance Record — Watch Highlights & See What’s Next for the Huskers

The red-hot No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers remain the talk of college volleyball after extending their unbeaten start to 21-0 (11-0 Big Ten) with Sunday’s sweep of Oregon inside the Devaney Center. The victory stretched Nebraska’s consecutive-set win streak to 40 and marked the program’s 13th straight sweep, capping a statement weekend that began with a dominant road win at then-No. 11 Wisconsin. Undefeated and alone at the top With Texas finally suffering its first loss, Nebraska is now the nation’s last remaining undefeated Division I women’s team. Head coach John Cook’s squad leads the country in opponent hitting percentage (.124) and ranks top-five in blocks per set (3.10), setting the stage for a potential wire-to-wire run to the NCAA title in December. Stars shining brighter • Junior outside hitter Harper Murray notched her seventh double-double of the season on Sunday, piling up 16 kills and 12 digs while hitting .394. • Setter Bergen Reilly directed the attack to a .337 clip versus Oregon and sits second nationally in assists per set (11.9). • Middle blocker Bekka Allick’s four blocks in Madison pushed her Big Ten lead to 1.53 per set. The road ahead Nebraska closes the regular season with five of its final eight matches away from Lincoln, including marquee dates at No. 6 Penn State (Nov. 9) and a home rematch with No. 3 Wisconsin (Nov. 23). Win out and the Huskers would clinch their first perfect regular season since 2000—Cook’s inaugural year in Lincoln—and lock up the NCAA tournament’s overall No. 1 seed. Why the Huskers are built to last 1. Elite first-contact play: Defensive specialists Lexi Rodriguez and Laney Choboy anchor a backcourt allowing just 0.90 aces per set. 2. Depth at the pins: Six different hitters have posted a 15-kill match this fall, giving Nebraska matchup flexibility. 3. Home-court magic: The Devaney Center is 68-2 over the last four seasons, and Nebraska still owns the sport’s all-time attendance record after drawing 92,003 fans to Memorial Stadium in 2023. What it means nationally If Nebraska completes the perfect run, it would be the first program to finish an undefeated season since Penn State in 2013. The Huskers already boast four national titles under Cook; a fifth would tie Stanford for the most in NCAA history. Bottom line From suffocating defense to breakout star power, Nebraska volleyball is delivering a masterclass in dominance—and the nation will keep watching as the Huskers chase perfection deep into November and beyond.
