It was an emotional day for the Nebraska volleyball program on Saturday, which honored its incredible senior class, featuring its three AVCA National Player of the Year award semifinalists — middle blocker Andi Jackson, outside hitter Harper Murray, and setter Bergen Reilly — and defensive specialist Laney Choboy.
The senior class lost just twice in conference play during their four years in the program, and won a conference title every year on campus. They wasted no time breaking records, with the four standouts playing in front of a record-setting crowd of 90,003 at Memorial Stadium for Volleyball Day in Nebraska.

Before taking the court on Saturday night, Murray reflected on her time at the university, with emotional statements showing their love for the fans and outstanding support as she and her teammates prepare for a run at the national championship.

“To my family, teammates, coaches, and everyone who has supported me along the way, thank you for always believing in me and helping make these past four years so special. And to Husker Nation, thank you for making every single time I step on the court feel so special. You’ve supported me through so many different moments of my life, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully express how much that means to me.”
