They should just always go with those rad jerseys with the Nebraska state boundary outlined on it.

I am interested if we will see any of the players jump serve. Cook said some players are getting pretty good at it this spring.

"Also, Denver accepted an invitation to play in a tournament in Lincoln this season, although the Pioneers will play two other teams but not Nebraska that weekend."
That's different. I know Cook wasn't a big fan of playing 3 days in a row last year, but also was sick of the playing 2 teams in one day thing, so I guess now he's just settled on only playing 2 teams out of the 3 who come in?

Care to summarize her comments for those of us who don't have a subscription to the Omaha World Herald? in addition to the quote above, she was thanking Cook a lot for helping her coaching career and she described how she took over Denver in June with few players and was able to finish in a Summit League tie for first, surprising everyone. |

Care to summarize her comments for those of us who don't have a subscription to the Omaha World Herald? Here's a bit of it. When you consider that Megan Pendergast didn’t become the head coach of the Denver volleyball team until 10 weeks before the first match of the season, it was a really good first year in 2023. Pendergast was hired last summer on June 12 for her first head job after previously being an assistant coach at UCLA, Oklahoma and Tulsa. “When I took the job we had nine people on the roster, no setter and one middle blocker,” Pendergast said. ... Pendergast is familiar to many Nebraska fans, having played defensive specialist for the Huskers in 2009 and 2010. She finished her career playing for Texas A&M, closer to her home in the Houston area, where she was the starting libero for two seasons. She remained connected to the Nebraska program and says it’s a personal highlight to coach in a match against the Huskers. “For me, it's special to be a head coach in a match against (Nebraska coach John Cook) because he’s been such a huge part of my career,” Pendergast said. “He’s been on my (job) reference letter since the beginning, so for me, it’s a cool thing. I’m grateful we got the call and got the opportunity.” ... How did you end up playing Nebraska in a spring match?MP: “Nebraska is going a little later this year into May and Denver is a quarter school and we’ll still be training into May. I think it was just a good fit. We’re within driving distance. Coach gave me a call, and we went from there.” |

Megan was about as high-energy as a player as you could get. Think Choboy-level energy.
One of the little Turbos was a ball shagger when Megan was playing - one time she dove for a ball and my daughter jumped out of the way. After the point, she came over and gave my daughter a high five and said something along the lines of "Nice job, Home Skillet."
