Huskers Meet the Media at NU Coliseum

 

 

Nebraska volleyball head coach John Cook and the team’s three captains met the media on Friday afternoon to discuss the upcoming 2012 season.

 

Coach Cook answered questions for nearly one-half hour, before senior captains Hannah Werth, Lauren Cook and Paige Hubl took their turns at the podium.

 

The Huskers captured the Big Ten Championship in their first year as a member of the conference in 2011. Since the end of last season, the team has selected the theme of “unfinished business” to carry them through the upcoming year.

 

“Our theme is unfinished business and the girls came up with that,” Cook said. “We won the Big Ten Championship last year and were the first team in eight years besides Penn State to win the Big Ten Championship in the sport of volleyball. It was our first year in and we’re very proud of that. It was the first Big Ten Championship for the University of Nebraska in any sport and it was very gratifying to win that championship. However on our home floor we didn’t like how the season ended in the NCAA tournament, which is where our players feel we left a lot out there.”

 

Cook also reflected on the Huskers’ last year in the NU Coliseum. To honor the current and former Huskers who have played there, Nebraska will host an alumni match on October 26 when the Huskers take on Ohio State.

There's a really good gallery of pics from Media Day HERE at the OWH. Good shots.

 

 

And here's a picture of some kind of silliness going on with Paige Hubl and Lauren Cook - which is shocking coming from these two very serious, very stoic players:
