As November began, little did Nebraska Volleyball know they’d kick off the month by ending an 11-year drought in unforgettable fashion. On November 1, the Huskers stormed into Wisconsin’s domain and dismantled their fortress. The Badgers, who hadn’t been swept at home in eight years, were stunned as Nebraska dominated in straight sets—25-21, 25-22, 25-19. For over a decade, the Huskers had battled in vain to conquer Wisconsin on their home court, but that night, they shattered history.

Now, as November nears its end, Nebraska Volleyball is preparing to meet the Badgers once again, this time on their own turf. Adding to the excitement, it’s not just another game—it’s Senior Night, and the Huskers are ready to shine before their home crowd. Anticipation is electric as the team gears up for another chapter in this riveting rivalry. And speaking of the spotlight, Nebraska Volleyball has drawn attention to the iconic Packed Memorial Stadium. But why this stadium, you ask?

Nebraska Volleyball steals the spotlight!

Emily Ehman, once a volleyball star and now a broadcaster, hopped on X on November 23 to share a clip from her interview during the Nebraska football vs. Wisconsin Badgers game. It’s a big day for Nebraska fans, with both football and volleyball matches lined up, and everyone’s buzzing about the Huskers’ volleyball showdown against Wisconsin. When asked for her take, Emily didn’t hold back on the details.

“The biggest thing for Wisconsin is finding a way to handle that pass,” she said, pointing out that serving and passing will be the game-changers. Nebraska’s serving game is a powerhouse, and the Badgers need sharp passing to get their offense rolling. She also called back to their last clash, where Nebraska Volleyball’s defense was on fire: “Nebraska held them to their lowest hit percentage since 2016, which was crazy to think about.” She continued, “The biggest way to get that going as they passed for Wisconsin.”

Nebraska Volleyball holds an impressive 21-14-1 record against Wisconsin, showcasing their long-standing dominance. On home turf in Lincoln, the Huskers boast an 11-4 record against their rivals, proving that the Bob Devaney Sports Center magic is real. But that’s not all—Nebraska’s precision on the court is unmatched, allowing just 55 service aces this season. This stat doesn’t just lead the nation; it sets them apart, with Pittsburgh trailing behind at 61. Yet, Nebraska volleyball’s libero star remains on high alert for the much-anticipated rematch!

Huskers alerted for the next game!

You heard it right! For Nebraska volleyball fans, this Saturday promises to be nothing short of electric. After sweeping Wisconsin on the road earlier this month, the Huskers are now gearing up to welcome the Badgers to their home court. With a red-hot winning streak lighting the way, fans are eagerly waiting to see if John Cook’s squad can keep their fire blazing in Lincoln. But for Lexi Rodriguez, the libero and co-captain, it’s not about basking in past glories—it’s about preparing for the battle ahead.

When Nebraska last clashed with Wisconsin at the UW Field House, most believed the Badgers’ 11-year home win streak would remain unbroken. Yet, Rodriguez and her squad turned the script upside down, delivering a stunning upset that shook collegiate volleyball to its core. However, Rodriguez knows that victory has only stoked Wisconsin’s determination to fight back harder this time. She understands the stakes and is fully aware that Saturday’s game will be an even steeper challenge.

In a recent press meet, Rodriguez shared how the Huskers are bracing for this high-stakes rematch against the sixth-ranked Badgers. Confident yet grounded, she acknowledged the intensity of the upcoming showdown. “We’re really preparing for another hard matchup,” Rodriguez said, addressing the pressure of replicating their last win. “Just because we beat them the first time doesn’t mean that it’s like we’re going to do it again.” She emphasized the effort ahead, adding, “It’s gonna be a battle. They’re a great team… they’re going to make adjustments from last game, so we got to be prepared.”

Determined and meticulous, Rodriguez assured that the team was dissecting their last encounter, gearing up for a long and grueling fight on the court.
