After advancing to the next round of the NCAA tournament, Nebraska Volleyball players are receiving huge admiration. The Nebraska Women's Volleyball team has concluded its regular season with a perfect record and has advanced to the NCAA regional semifinal.

The program is in the quest to earn its fifth-ever NCAA Championships title, this year under the guidance of new head coach, Dani Busboom Kelly. Before competing in the NCAA regional semifinal round, the program's junior hitter reacted to a heartfelt message from a fan, who likely owns an ink shop. The fan placed a huge blackboard outside their shop, which featured the message:

"Welcome Husker Volleyball. Ear bling...before the championship ring. It's girl math. xoxo"

Murray shared a picture of the heartwarming message on her Instagram story and acknowledged their support, writing:

"My fav ever. We 🤍 you!!"

Nebraska Volleyball's Harper Murray opens up on defeating Kansas State before advancing to the next round

Nebraska Volleyball defeated Kansas State by 3-0 to reach the regional semifinal. In a post-match interview, Harper Murray reflected on the faceoff, stating that the Wildcats executed a tough performance in the second and third sets. However, she and Tereya Sigler were able to break the opponent team's defense system.

"I think they serve pretty tough on us," Murray said. "They were mixing up short and deep and I think eventually me and Terra figured it out but it took us a second to adjust to it and that was a lot in the third set. So, I think just finding ways to adjust with to what teams are doing because at some point they're going to have to switch it up on us. I think to beat us, you're going to have to find different ways to to score and to put points on the board. So, I think they found a good way to do that in the second and third set for sure."
