Mavric Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 When the Huskers open the season on Aug. 25 against Oregon the team will look quite different from last season. The Huskers lost four seniors, including three-All-Americans in Amber Rolfzen, Kadie Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes. That group helped the Huskers get back to the program’s high standards by winning the national title in 2015, and the Big Ten Conference title in 2016. Now what will happen to the Huskers? NU will have returning players with bigger roles now — probably outside hitters Annika Albrecht and Olivia Boender and libero Kenzie Maloney — and may have to rely on a few freshmen. “I think we’re going to surprise some people because we know how to fight and we know how to work our butts off,” said setter Kelly Hunter. “I think we’ve had a lot of talent in the past so we could not play great and win some games, and I think this year we’re going to have to play great volleyball for a majority of our games. I think we can do it though. I think these girls are excited and we’re all pumped up and we love our new coaching staff.” LJS Quote Link to comment
