If there’s one day that will forever be celebrated in the hearts of Nebraska Huskers fans, it’s Volleyball Day in Nebraska. In the year 2023, the Huskers with Lexi Rodriguez and Harper Murray, along with the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Nebraska-Kearney, and Wayne State College, gave a spectacular performance that broke records. That means 92,003 fans attended the match at the Memorial Stadium, thus becoming a record-breaking turn-out for a women’s sporting event. The Huskers swept the match against UNO, while in the first match, Wayne State defeated UNK in straight sets.

Before that night, the record was set by the Champions League match between Barcelona and Wolfsburg with 91,648 spectators. But Nebraska? They took that number and tossed the bar even higher. Fast forward to nearly two years later, Harper Murray is still feeling the weight of that historic moment. Looking back, she’s sharing her unfiltered emotions about being part of a night that was bigger than just volleyball.

Harper Murray gets honest!

In a chat with Hurrdat Sports, Harper Murray tried to put into words the absolutely unreal experience of stepping onto that court with 92,000 fans screaming at Memorial Stadium. But honestly? Even now, it’s all a bit of a blur. “We all kind of like blacked out a little bit,” she admitted, laughing at how overwhelming it was. In the moment, there was no time to process the sheer magnitude of what they were doing.

It wasn’t until after the game that the emotions came rushing in. “I think that’s when we all got emotional too,” Harper Murray recalled. The viral clip of her, Merritt, and Bergen embracing? Yeah, she hadn’t even realized she was crying. But looking back now, it all makes sense—when you make history, sometimes your emotions beat your brain to the punch.

And this isn’t just a cool memory; it’s a legacy. “I think it’s something that I’ll probably tell my kids about and be like, yeah, I played in a football stadium and there were more people there than our football team got,” Harper Murray said with a grin. And sure, as she playfully admitted, “we had more seats available than they did,” but that doesn’t take away from the magic.

This is not the first time Murray Harper has fondly recalled that once in a lifetime season with disbelief. In an interview earlier this year, she shared that even now, she still can hardly believe that all of this is happening to her, as she said, “Sometimes I’m like, there’s no way I played in a football stadium.” From setting records and coming close to an undefeated season all throughout, it was pure magic. She realizes that they achieved something great with only two losses on their record, yet, it is still somewhat difficult to comprehend that they pulled it off. And guess what? Murray is continuing the legacy of sold out places!

Murray continues the Huskers’ legacy!
