Andi Jackson, who played a crucial role alongside Harper Murray in the recent victory, had once talked about maintaining the unbeaten run this season. In her words,

“It’s a really big deal, especially in the Big Ten. (The sweep streak) is something to be proud of, and we’re not done yet. There’s still a lot of work to do and we’re only five weeks in. We don’t want to take anything for granted, and we’re not done.” [via The Daily Nebraskan]

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will now rest for a while. They will compete against the Wisconsin Badgers on October 31 for the first time this season.

Rebekah Allick, one of the three skippers for the Nebraska Volleyball team this season, recently opened up about her unwavering mental approach throughout the current season. In the post-match press conference, the 21-year-old middle blocker remarked,

"Kind of what I was speaking to earlier, like just being really hard on yourself when it doesn't click right away, and just for her to feed you again, it really like snips that conversation down your head like over. It's like there is no time for that. Like, there's no pity party."

The middle blocker further added,

"I need you to get up, and I need you to kill this ball. And so, you know, she doesn't say that, but to me, it's like when you reinforce an attacker like that, it builds so much confidence and trust that, okay, yeah, you didn't get the first time, but I need you up again. Like, you're not done just because it didn't work. So, I loved it." (8:30 onwards)

Rebekah Allick was previously praised for her conduct by the head coach of the Nebraska Volleyball team, Dani Busboom Kelly. Kelly labeled Allick as the best 'out-of-system' setter.
