Very awesome. I don’t feel like a lot of people are aware just how big volleyball is in the state and how many high school volleyball players we feed into the NCAA for us being such a low populated state.

that gave me chills. What an awesome event on an awesome night. With the huge crowd in a huge stadium, it reminded me of how wrestlemania looks, honestly. Good to see them win at home, too
What an amazing event. The amount of local and even national attention this has drawn is nothing but a good thing for volleyball, women's sports and the state of Nebraska!
Nebraska volleyball sets NEW WORLD RECORD Playing in front of 92,003 people!
On SportsCenter, take a look back at the new women’s sporting event world record of attendance (92,003) at Memorial Stadium to what the Nebraska women’s volleyball team take on Omaha. Nebraska outside hitter, Merritt Beason joins the show to discuss the significance of the night and what it was like playing in front of a historic crowd.
Emily Ehman, the Big Ten Network broadcaster who called Volleyball Day in Nebraska for the network, spoke to Scripps News — the parent company of KMTV — about her experience at the record-breaking event.
“Let me say, it was the coolest college sporting event I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to college football playoff games, I’ve been to NCAA men’s national championship and I have never been around a sporting event that was as exciting, as loud, as – just empowering as something like this,” said Ehman. “I feel like my hearing is still recovering just a bit because everyone was so loud, but from the first moment I stepped into the stadium getting ready to call the game, it was jaw-dropping. I mean, I started crying immediately. And it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen and, of course, been a part of in my broadcasting career.”

Such fantastic coverage locally, regionally and nationally. TV, radio and social media. All of it incredibly positive.
That was a big big win for the state of Nebraska, the city of Lincoln, women’s sports, volleyball, and of course the University of Nebraska and its athletic department.
