Huskers Aim for 'Blackout' Victory Over Penn State

The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team is set to face the Penn State Nittany Lions in a pivotal 'blackout' game. Head coach Dani Busboom Kelly expressed her enthusiasm for the event, anticipating a charged atmosphere as the team plays its penultimate game of the season. This match holds significance as Nebraska recently secured its third consecutive Big Ten title.

Coach Kelly emphasized the team's mindset, stressing the importance of cherishing victories and maintaining a positive spirit. She aims to prevent player burnout by encouraging the celebration of achievements, ensuring the team looks forward to returning rather than feeling relief when the season concludes. This approach is crucial as the Huskers strive to break an eight-year title drought.

Having previously defeated Penn State on October 3, the Cornhuskers are motivated for another win at their home venue, the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The 'blackout' game against a prominent opponent like Penn State is expected to further energize both the team and the fans, making it a memorable event.
