LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska volleyball team was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in shocking fashion on Sunday with a 3-2 (25-22, 25-22, 20-25, 35-37, 15-13) loss to Texas A&M. The Aggies went toe-to-toe with the undefeated Huskers, who had won 29 consecutive home games in the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska dropped the first two sets behind a focused, aggressive approach from the 3rd-seeded Aggies. Kyndal Stowers and Logan Lednicky combined for 49 kills for Texas A&M.

Nebraska was led by Harper Murray’s 25 kills. Rebekah Allick added 15 kills on .480 hitting. National Player of the Year candidate Andi Jackson was held to six kills with five hitting errors. Jackson was benched in the match for freshman Manaia Ogbechie, who finished with five kills and three blocks.

Texas A&M advanced to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four, which is held in Kansas City next week. The Huskers will not be in the national semifinals for the first time since 2002.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — For one last time, four Husker seniors played under the bright lights of the John Cook Arena.

Rebekah Allick, Maisie Boesiger, Taylor Landfair and Allie Sczech all stepping onto the court on Sunday to play against Texas A&M, marking their final game at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

“All of these seniors, their contribution has been amazing and it’ll be sad to see them go but an exciting end to the season for these girls,” said Husker fan, Joel Sup.

For many Husker fans, their presence has helped put Nebraska on the map and elevate the sport.

“They just bring so much to not just the team, but the community as well,” said Dave Sutko, owner of Spikes Beach Bar and Grille. “They’re very involved in things. They’re more than just volleyball players to a lot of us. Rebekah is the heartbeat of the team, I think everyone knows that. She’s just always so positive. It’s tough to see them go.”

One of the biggest moments fans won’t forget — the team playing in front of a sold-out 92,003-person crowd at Memorial Stadium.

A game Allick and Boesiger were a part of in 2023.

“I’ve been to a lot of games at Memorial Stadium and in my opinion, that was the most impactful sporting event I have ever attended,” said Joel Sup, a Husker fan. “As a girl dad, it was amazing to see women’s sports take the big stage, and I think it really pushed Nebraska to the forefront of what women’s sports in America can be.”

Despite the Huskers losing to the Aggies, many fans agree that one thing is clear: the future for the Huskers is bright.

“They bring so much to not just the university, but the entire state. Everybody talks about Nebraska and says ‘oh you guys have the Volleyball team!’ Yep, that’s us!”

AUSTIN, Texas — For the last several years, the Texas Longhorns have been the thorn in the Wisconsin volleyball team’s side.

In 2021, the Longhorns swept the Badgers in the Final Four. In 2023, the Horns had a similarly dominant 3-1 win in another Final Four. Last year, it was a regular season sweep in Milwaukee and earlier this year it was a regular season sweep in Madison.

But finally, finally, Wisconsin cracked the code Sunday night.

The No. 3-seed Badgers bid “goodbye to Texas University” on the Longhorns’ home court, knocking off the No. 1 seed 3-1 (25-22, 25-21, 20-25, 25-19) to advance to the 2025 Final Four.

Perhaps all the Badgers needed was the consistency of their ‘Big 4,’ who have been exceeding expectations all season long.

Mimi Colyer ended the match with 23 kills on 55 attacks with just 6 errors. Una Vajagic had 15 kills and Carter Booth had 11. Their ultimate set-up woman, Charlie Fuerbringer, had 57 assists to go along with 9 digs.

The Badgers now turn their focus to No. 1-seed Kentucky, who had a dominant sweep of No. 3-seed Creighton in their quarterfinal match. That match will be played in Kansas City.

Interestingly enough, Wisconsin ends the weekend as the only Big Ten team left in the tournament. No. 1-seed Nebraska suffered a shock upset to No. 3-seed Texas A&M, as the Aggies advanced to their first Final Four in program history. They’ll take on No. 1-seed Pittsburgh.
