Nebraska women's volleyball preseason rankings

Overview

The Nebraska women’s volleyball program entered the 2026 preseason as a dominant force in both conference and national rankings. The team was voted the unanimous preseason favorite in the Big Ten, with seniors Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly named to the preseason All-Big Ten team and the AVCA Player of the Year watch list.

Following the release of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) preseason poll, Nebraska secured the No. 1 national ranking for the ninth time in program history, earning 57 of 63 first-place votes. This ranking marks the program’s 124th week at the top spot, which is “the most of any program in the nation.”

Coming off a 33-1 season, the Huskers return three AVCA All-Americans: Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly. The team is scheduled to face No. 2 Texas at the Players Era Showcase in Las Vegas on August 30.
