Nebraska Volleyball Player Rebekah Allick Reveals Her Excitement for Upcoming Clash With Texas A&M Aggies
The top-seeded Nebraska continued to maintain its invincible streak at the 2025 NCAA Championships. Their opponents proved to be no match at all as the Huskers defeated them by 25-12, 25-11, 25-12.
After the game, co-skipper Allick and Andi Jackson had a chat with the ESPN journalist. During the interview, the middle blocker revealed her excitement for the upcoming game against the Aggies as she said [from 00:03 onwards],
“I’m so freaking excited. I love Jamie Morrison. It’s a great team. I’m honestly a fan of number one, just a great… I love high level volleyball, so I’m really excited for Sunday. And truth be told, that’s exactly where we thrive. Usually, we have to dig deep against teams that aren’t at our caliber, but when the team is naturally good, that’s where we flourish. So, Sunday’s going to be a really fun game.”
The Huskers will face the Aggies on Dec. 14 at their home ground, i.e., the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The match will be broadcast live on the ESPN channel.
Nebraska Volleyball Aims For The Pinnacle As They Await The Clash Against Aggies
As discussed previously, the Big Red won’t rest until they’ve secured the NCAA title, which has been evading them for the last eight years. Although the Nebraska Volleyball women’s team has reached the finals three times since 2017, they haven’t won the Championship.
The last time Nebraska maintained an unbeaten streak until the NCAA Championship victory was in 2000. Coincidentally, this was the debut season of the then-head coach, John Cook. Former Nebraska player and current head coach Dani Busboom Kelly would like nothing better than to step into his shoes and lead the Huskers to similar glory.
Under Busboom Kelly’s mentorship, the Big Red won the Big Ten Conference for the third consecutive time. The Huskers maintained a clean slate of 30-0, as they won the Big Ten Championship for the third time since 2023.
