Nebraska volleyball will play in three exhibition matches this spring . The Huskers will open the spring against Iowa State on April 11 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Cornhuskers are hitting the road for all three spring exhibition matches as the John Cook Arena at the Devaney Center has been under construction since late February.
The facility is undergoing locker room upgrades and adding roughly 10,000 new seats with cupholders. Last season, Nebraska finished the season 33-1 and No. 3 in the final AVCA poll.
Iowa State ended the season 23-8 and lost to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Cyclones are coached by Christy Johnson-Lynch, who is entering her 22nd year as head volleyball coach. She also played and coached at Nebraska.
She was an All-American for the Huskers in 1994 and 1995. Johnson-Lynch was the starting setter for the 1995 team, which won the school's first national volleyball championship. This is the first spring season in which the Huskers will play three exhibition matches.
