Nebraska Huskers Volleyball Welcomes Its Newest Young Guns to the Team as 2024 Recruits Reach Home Base

The NCAA Women’s Volleyball witnessed a lot of fanfare in the 2023 season. Although fans of every team cheered for them, whenever the matches recorded a high footfall, the Nebraska Huskers were one of the teams on the court. The Husker Nation holds a lot of loyalty towards its team, even though the starting lineup carried several new faces. 

As the 2024 season commences in the coming months, the loyal fans of the Nebraska Huskers will welcome more new faces to the team. The Huskers have recruited some of the finest talents from the class of 2024. A recent social media upload announced that they have already made it to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as well.

Fresh faces of 2024 join the Nebraska Huskers

Nebraska Volleyball tweeted the image of the latest Nebraska Huskers players Skyler Pierce and Olivia Mauch on its official X account. The tweet carried the caption, “New faces on campus! 🙂 @olivia_mauch @SkyPierce21.” The image showcased Pierce and Mauch sitting together in a hallway on a couch. 

Both these athletes have several pictures in the Nebraska Huskers uniform. However, the image showed them wearing Huskers sweatshirts, declaring them official residents of the volleyball program. Skyler Pierce and Olivia Mauch are top-ranking high school athletes who caught the eye of John Cook with their skills. 

While Pierce is joining as an outside hitter for the team, Mauch will play the libero position. Thus, the 2024 recruits bring a balance of both offense and defense. Interestingly, these young players graduated early from their high schools to join Nebraska’s volleyball team.

The excitement to join Nebraska Volleyball as soon as possible

Skyler Pierce and Olivia Mauch had committed to the Nebraska Huskers back in 2022. The duo had been very excited to join the Huskers ever since. Especially Pierce, who even attended several volleyball camps organized by Nebraska. Now these new faces will turn into bona fide Huskers soon and collect the cheers of the Husker Nation. The Nebraska Huskers will now have a lot of powerful attacking options with them and an especially big arsenal of outside hitters.
