Lexi Rodriguez made her feelings known about the current Nebraska volleyball team

Stunned by the performance of the Nebraska volleyball team in their match against Grand Canyon on Saturday, September 13, Lexi Rodriguez made her feelings known about the current Nebraska team in a conversation with Hail Varsity.

Praising their skills, she credited their new head coach, Dani Busboom Kelly, for their staunch performances. Exuding excitement about watching them play, she said:

"They're insane, the depth they have is incredible. I think like their play tonight, and just how they're able to start anyone, play anyone, I mean it's incredible. Props to Dani for just instilling that confidence in everyone, they're just amazing. I'm excited to keep watching them," said Lexi Rodriguez.

She further spoke about the depth of the libero position of the team, adding:

"I've known it for the past two years, and they're all studs. Even getting to watch Maisie get her first start, it was honestly so amazing. But I think they're all doing good, they compliment each other so well and I think just their ability to adapt to whatever role they have is pretty incredible especially at that position."

The Nebraska volleyball team's next game is scheduled to be held on September 20 against Arizona at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
