It was sometime during the first season Cecilia Hall was on the Nebraska volleyball team that coach John Cook posed a question to her.
Cook asked Hall if she’d be comfortable playing in a match. That was back at the NU Coliseum in 2011. There were just 4,000 fans at matches then, but at the Coliseum it felt as if all the fans were right on top of you.
Hall was in a new country — it was only months after she’d come to Nebraska from Linkoping, Sweden — and now Hall was in a whole new world with Nebraska volleyball.
