The Nebraska volleyball setter, Bergen Reilly, recently received high praise from Wisconsin’s coach, Kelly Sheffield, following the Huskers’ impressive victory over his team. Nebraska and Wisconsin faced off on October 31 at the UW Field House in Madison, Wisconsin.
During the match, the Huskers delivered a dominant performance, securing their 12th straight win of the season with a 25-22, 25-19, 25-13 victory. One of the standout contributors was Reilly, who posted a .349 hitting percentage along with 38 assists, eight digs, four blocks, and three kills.
Shortly after the match, in the post-game press conference, Wisconsin’s coach Sheffield praised Reilly, calling her “probably the best player” in the conference. He also commended Nebraska’s offensive team for their ability to win rallies consistently.
“I think Bergen is probably the best player in the conference. Her ability to continue to get them swings throughout the rallies was key. They did a great job of winning the long rallies,” Sheffield said. “I thought we did a lot of good things tonight, but their defense really challenged us. Our pace was moving faster than what a confident team normally allows.”
He added, “Their offensive ability is the most obvious thing when you look at the numbers. This is the best offensive Nebraska team I’ve seen. Even when you score, their ability to side out quickly is very impressive.”
Currently, the Nebraska volleyball team boasts an undefeated 21-0 winning streak.
