There’s a reason why Nebraska continues to produce some of the country’s best volleyball talents year after year. While the Huskers are considered one of the nation’s most revered programs, the state’s professional volleyball scene is also showing incredible potential already. As the Real Pro Volleyball rages on, Nebraska once again makes the headlines as it continues to draw fans in flocks to fill the stadiums en masse.
During the opening weekend of the women’s professional volleyball league, Nebraska fans set a new attendance record of 11,624. As the Supernovas took on the Atlanta Vibes, fans showed their determination to make sure that any team in the country containing the name “Nebraska” continues to plague their opponents. Now, it looks like the future of volleyball is in safe hands in Cornhusker State as fans attain yet another milestone.

“@OmahaSupernovas holds the top two attendance records for U.S. pro women’s volleyball,” reads the caption of the post further, indicating the data from the opening weekend. “No sophomore slump for the Supernovas“, wrote volleyball pundit Lincoln Arneal in his own Twitter post, where he shared the sonorous announcement by Hurrdat Sports.
The Huskers have dominated the collegiate volleyball scene for quite some time. In last year’s NCAA championship, the Nebraska University team looked more threatening than ever before until the Texas Longhorns managed to put an end to their 5-game winning streak in the finals. However, the state’s professional team looks to be finally finding its feet as they came back in a resolute manner to chalk up their first victory.
