This time last year, Nebraska volleyball had a tough task ahead of them. They were losing five seniors (four of whom were starters) and also lost two younger players who opted to transfer out of the program.
While losing four players doesn’t seem as dramatic as those seven who left a year ago, Nebraska volleyball is losing arguably two of the greatest players (certainly the most decorated) in program history. I’m talking of course about seniors Kenzie Maloney and Mikaela Foecke, both of whom are graduating this spring and on their way out of Lincoln.
We’ll get to those two in a moment, but the Huskers are also losing senior Brooke Smith to graduation and sophomore Sami Slaughter, who transferred to South Dakota this semester for her final two years of eligibility.
