The defending national champion Huskers will play 19 regular-season home matches and will open the 2018 season at home against Florida in a rematch of the 2017 NCAA championship match. The Huskers will play all 10 non-conference matches in the state of Nebraska, and the 19 regular-season home matches are NU's most since volleyball became an NCAA-sanctioned sport in 1981.
The Huskers will open the regular season on Aug. 24 by hosting the VERT Challenge, which is in the final year of its four-year rotation. Nebraska will play Florida in a rematch of the 2017 NCAA championship match, which the Huskers won 3-1 to capture their fifth national title in program history and second in the last three years.
