The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team returns to action on Saturday night after an interesting week to finish up the non-conference slate. The Huskers beat Creighton on Tuesday night in a five-set thriller that further tested Dani Busboom Kelly's squad. Now they wrap things up before the Big Ten with Arizona.
The Huskers are 9-0 on the season and will look to go 10-0. Then it's onto conference play and things really start to rock as they'll do battle with Wisconsin, Penn State and others as they look to return to the finals.
John Cook gets a statue

The ceremony took place on the north side of the Bob Devaney Sports Center, near the bottom of the pedestrian ramp. Speakers included University of Nebraska System President Dr. Jeffrey Gold, Athletic Director Troy Dannen, Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly, and Cook himself. Cook retired on Jan. 29 after 25 seasons leading Nebraska Volleyball and 32 years overall as a head coach. During his Nebraska tenure, Cook built one of the sport’s most dominant programs.
