When the college volleyball season begins, will Nebraska have an advantage?

The college volleyball season, whenever it begins, isn’t going to be like a typical season.

The worldwide health catastrophe has changed the game for all of the teams, and nobody knows right now what the season will be like.

Do the matches go on as scheduled? Do teams get only four weeks of workouts leading up to the first match, instead of a chance to train this summer? Do the normal four weeks of nonconference matches to begin the season get eliminated, meaning there is only the conference season and the NCAA Tournament?

Whatever happens, the Nebraska volleyball team may have some advantages over many teams because it returns its entire starting lineup from last season with outside hitters Lexi Sun and Madi Kubik, middle blockers Lauren Stivrins and Callie Schwarzenbach, right-side hitter Jazz Sweet, setter Nicklin Hames and libero Kenzie Knuckles.
