Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett talk about the lull in the college football world before a wild June of recruiting visits and workouts begins. In baseball, Spencer Schwellenbach is rising up MLB Draft boards while the Huskers found out Friday that they will not play host to a regional in the NCAA Tournament. 







Lexi Sun wants one more season as a Nebraska volleyball player.

The two-time All-American announced on social media on Wednesday that she’ll return to the Huskers for the fall 2021 season. Her announcement comes about one month after the season ended.

The 6-foot-2 outside hitter from Encinitas, California, was eligible to return because players didn’t lose a year of eligibility this season due to the NCAA’s pandemic exception.

“I am so excited to announce that I will be coming back to play my final season of college volleyball at the University of Nebraska,” said Sun in a news release. “Because of the challenges that have come along with the past year, I am grateful to have received another opportunity to play and compete alongside some of my favorite people. I will be continuing a master’s degree in advertising and public relations, and I am especially looking forward to getting to play in front of Husker nation one last time. I can’t wait to see what else this last chapter of my time here at Nebraska holds.”

After starting her career playing for Texas, Sun has been a three-year starter at Nebraska. And in each of the past two seasons she was a third-team All-American.

This season her 3.64 kills per set were a career best, despite not playing nonconference matches that can sometimes inflate stats.
