University of Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach John Cook announced Friday that Tiani Reeves and Brooke Smith have decided to depart from the Husker volleyball program.

 

Smith, who completed her sophomore season as a Husker in 2016, intends to transfer and play at a new school. Reeves, who also spent two seasons with the team, will join the Nebraska track and field program. She was a five-time state champion in the long and triple jump at Gothenburg High School.

 

“Brooke and Tiani have been an important part of our program the last two years and I am very thankful for the contributions they've made on and off the court,” Cook said. “They've been fantastic teammates and have put in maximum effort in all aspects of being a student-athlete. I wish Brooke all the best as she moves on to a new team, and I'm excited to see where Tiani's track and field talents take her.”

 

Smith, a 5-10 native of Weatherford, Texas, was an academic All-Big Ten selection and Nebraska's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner in 2016. She appeared in 18 career matches as a defensive and serving specialist, totaling nine aces. Reeves, a 6-1 outside hitter from Gothenburg, redshirted her first year at Nebraska in 2015 and appeared in two matches in 2016. She was a two-time Tom Osborne Citizenship Team member.

I was always very surprised that Tiani didn't do track in college. She is a very special track athlete but I didn't think she was that special of a volleyball player.

I know Tiana's mom, and last time I saw Tiana she was maybe 4 or 5 years old, and now I feel really old.

So there's ... what .... about an 80% chance we'll see her in the second round of the NCAA tournament this year.....

Depends. They've only made it to the 2nd round of the tournament once in the past five years.
