Dani Busboom Kelly previously opened up how the Nebraska Volleyball team maintains its invincible streak against other teams. In an interview after the game against Wisconsin Badgers, the head coach remarked,

"I wouldn't say there is anything like super unique or new that we are doing, just making sure that our practices are structured to set up like some really good match-ups, and when we mix up teams, that allows us to do that. But putting our players in challenging situations in practice against other players has been pretty important. I feel yesterday was one of our most competitive practices in a while, so that was a great sign. I think in October, when you can walk from practice and say that. So, proud of them for that."
