Huskers’ Thursday Beach Match Canceled



Nebraska’s beach volleyball match scheduled for Thursday against Oklahoma Wesleyan at the Hawks Championship Center has been canceled due to winter weather and travel conditions in Oklahoma. The teams will attempt to re-schedule the match in March. 

The Huskers instead will open their season on Friday at 8 a.m. against Wayne State and at 4 p.m. against Park, both inside the Hawks Championship Center. 

Both Friday matches will have a free live video stream available to watch on Twitter (@HuskerVBall) and on the Nebraska Volleyball Facebook page. NU’s home matches are closed to the public because of space limitations inside the Hawks Championship Center. 

The Huskers haven’t played a beach volleyball match since March 9, 2020. The rest of the 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19, and the Huskers didn’t play beach volleyball in 2021 as the indoor season was played during the spring. 

Before the 2020 beach season came to an end, Kenzie Knuckles and Madi Kubik had compiled an 8-2 record as a pair through 10 matches. Nicklin Hames had won seven of 10 matches played with her partner, Lauren Stivrins. Hames has a 22-12 career beach volleyball record, while Knuckles and Kubik are each 20-14 in their careers. No other Husker on the beach roster has competed in a collegiate beach volleyball match. 

The Huskers will make their first road trip next week when they travel to Jacksonville, Florida for the North Florida Invitational. Nebraska will play five matches in two days in Florida before returning home for another home match on Tuesday, March 8 against Ottawa (Kansas).
