Following the win, Nebraska’s Merritt Beason and Harper Murray appeared for a press conference with the media.

Merritt Beason said, “I mean, we’re focused on Iowa on Sunday. We wanna win the Big 10 outright and we’re not done with our season yet. So, we’re just staying locked in on what’s ahead and we haven’t accomplished our goals yet.”  The strong words of Beason displayed the fierceness and fortitude Nebraska Huskers Volleyball carries.
