The main objective for the person playing the libero position for the Nebraska volleyball team is to handle everything you have to do — pass serves, dig a lot of hard shots, serve, set the ball when the setter made the first touch — at a high level and help the Huskers win.
One indicator for how well the libero has played is the opponents’ hitting percentage, although the libero is just one part in that, especially on a team like No. 7 Nebraska with several good blockers and a defense-hungry setter in Nicklin Hames.
Freshman libero Kenzie Knuckles has helped the Huskers stay really good on defense, with Nebraska almost always giving the opponent its worst offensive match of the season.
