It might surprise some Nebraska Cornhuskers fans but, after being cited for driving under the influence early Friday morning along with four other offenses, Harper Murray is still practicing with the Nebraska volleyball team this week.
NU assistant coach Kelly Hunter told the media on Wednesday that Murray is being supported and surrounded with help in the wake of her citation. The assistant coach pointed to Murray's youth as to why she's getting this treatment rather than a suspension from the team as other student athletes have done in similar situations.
“She's a young adult, a young child, who needs help, and so we're here to support her,” Hunter said.
Hunter was speaking at an event hosted by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Wednesday afternoon at the Lincoln Country Club. During her presentation, her comments about Murray were part of a bigger talk about how the Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team is trying to revamp its culture as it gets ready for next season.
“Our culture is our baby,” she said. “We're working on that every day.”
