"It was a monster match for her"- Dani Busboom Kelly credits Harper Murray for Nebraska volleyball's dominant sweep over Purdue

Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly made her feelings known on Harper Murray's performance against Purdue on Sunday, October 12. The junior player was the major contributor for the Huskers in the attacking front during the match.

Murray concluded her match with 16 kills, 5 digs, and 4 assists in the match, without a single error, and helped her team immensely to a 3-0 win and register their 16th consecutive victory. So far in the season, the Nebraska outside hitter has already racked up 186 kills to her name and has been in staggering form for her side.

Speaking after the Purdue game, head coach Kelly stated that the team required a strong outing from Murray to defeat the opponents. Additionally, Kelly also highlighted Murray's overall strengths that have evolved in the season and further added (via Huskers Radio Network):

"It was a monster match for her. We don't sweep Purdue without a monster performance from Harper, and the way she's been playing from getting one-on-ones because Bergen is doing a great job, and then her back row swings, her passing has been phenomenal, and now serving and blocking are coming alive. So, a huge game for her."

Dani Busboom, Kelly, and Harper Murray's Nebraska Volleyball will be up in action on Friday, October 17, at the Breslin Center, where they will face Michigan State.
