LAS VEGAS (WOWT) – Nebraska volleyball opened its 2026 regular season with a three-set sweep over UNLV, 25-18, 25-15, 25-16.
Harper Murray led with 11 kills while Andi Jackson and Teraya Sigler had eight kills each. The Huskers had a .310 hitting percentage while holding UNLV to .083.
The match was played as part of the Players Era Volleyball Showcase.
On Sunday, Nebraska will face a very familiar opponent in No. 2 Texas. Historically, Nebraska holds the edge with a 33-25 record all-time against the Longhorns. However, Texas has had the last laugh, with the last meeting between the squads resulting in a sweep in the 2023 National Championship.
Most recently, the Huskers claimed $350,000 after sweeping their way through the first Spikes Under the Lights tournament, beating the No. 17 Florida Gators and the No. 11 SMU Mustangs on their way to that payday.
Nebraska, coming off a 33-1 season that ended in a loss to the eventual national champion Texas A&M Aggies in the NCAA Regional Finals in Lincoln, are looking to start the season strong in a year where they return All-Americans Andi Jackson, Harper Murray and Bergen Reilly.
