Nebraska volleyball is competing in another major event to start the 2026 season. The Huskers will travel to Arlington, Texas, to play the Florida Gators in the inaugural Spikes Under the Lights at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Each of the two opening matches will be best-of-three sets. The winner will play the Penn State-SMU winner in the championship match at 9 p.m. CT. The Huskers enter the season ranked No. 1 in the preseason AVCA Coaches Poll.
Nebraska finished last season 33-1, falling to Texas A&M in the regional finals. The Cornhuskers enter Year 2 of the Dani Busboom Kelly era. The Huskers won their third straight Big Ten title in 2025 with a 20-0 record in conference play.
Nebraska’s offense (.351) and defense (.129) both
ranked first nationally last season. The Huskers’ hitting percentage broke the previous school record of .331 in 1986.
The Huskers return three AVCA All-Americans: Andi Jackson, Harper Murray and Bergen Reilly. The trio was also selected to the preseason All-Big Ten Team.
Jackson enters her fourth season after being named the AVCA Middle Blocker of the Year and receiving first-team All-American honors. She led the nation with a .467 attack percentage, the third-best in a single season in program history.
Murray earned AVCA All-American and All-Big Ten first-team honors after leading the Huskers with a career-best 3.54 kills per set on a career-high .295 attack percentage. She also led the team in aces with 34.Reilly rounds out the trio. She also is coming off a first-team All-American season. She was named the AVCA Setter of the Year, Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Setter of the Year last season. She is the second Husker to win the Big Ten Player of the Year honor and the second player in Big Ten history to be named Big Ten Setter of the Year three times.
