was going right for you tonight and how do you react to that performance um I mean a lot of things I'm just going to be honest uh my teammates made it super easy obviously Lexi and our serve receive they make it so easy to just attack super well because we can be in system a lot and even when we're not like maybe medium system I know our Setters have worked really really hard so Bergen did a really really good job tonight just putting the ball up in medium system and gave me a ton of opportunities and I think serving went well blocking went well obviously as I feel like you could probably tell like my has improved a ton which has been nice to see as a reflection of our work in Fall Camp so was it like playing against Lauren it was crazy I mean because I watched her all the time and she's a huge reason that I even came to Nebraska CU I was like I want to be like Laurence differ and so having the opportunity to play against her it was crazy and I'm super grateful Lexi what can you say about how you were able to set up Andy and and all the other outside hitters with the service game and and just the performance you saw from her tonight yeah I think like a huge part of like our our team goals is like serving and passing and so we know that our middles are such a strength for our team especially Andy and we want to get them in the position where we can use our middles as much as possible so I think as a backc court we're always trying to get Bergen in a place where she can set the middles and I just think like sometimes The Middle's job just goes so unnoticed and I feel like tonight all three of the midd just did such a great job working hard like whether it was in transition blocking um talking to the setter and I feel like that's something they've been really working hard on throughout this entire like fall camp and so it's really cool to see like all of them kind of shine tonight thank you you're wel good how do you feel like you guys served as a team um I think I think for red white and at the beginning of the season um that's something that I feel like we can always do better and just being back in front of fans you know more pressure-filled moments there's going to come some errors especially in the beginning of the sets but I think overall through if you just like take out the first set I feel like we served pretty good and made a little bit less errors but I think serving is going to be something that can be our biggest strength but is always going to be something we can work on Livia played a few different roles tonight finished her with 22 digs what you make of her performance 2 oh my gosh Olivia is so amazing I just H she's just such like she's so calm um but like I just I personally have so much trust in her and I feel like everyone does you never question um the effort she's going to bring the energy the consistency and so I feel like that's such a gift especially as a freshman but I know whatever role she's in she's going to do it to her best of best ability and I feel like tonight she really did that so super proud of her you guys were more high air in the first two sets do you feel like you kind of settled down in the third one or what was kind of working what you I would say yeah um you could tell that everyone was nervous which is completely normal I mean we have four new people two of them are freshmen and so coming out your first game in front of 8,000 people and there truly is no place like Nebraska so running out there and if you haven't experienced it before and even if you have it's just a surreal fear and so getting used to it adjusting to it um there were definitely a lot of nerves like I know I was even nervous first and second set but you could tell that everyone adjusted really well and I think the game started to flow better between the third and the fourth and Lexi the the 8,000 people how special was it to kind of have the banner come down and you know talk about the Big 10 championship before this hermit and stuff like that super special I mean we try and say that we want to like focus on this year and that last year's in the past but kind of to reflect at the beginning of the season after fall Camp's over and just kind of look back on last year and see kind of what we accomplished and that is a huge accomplishment and it's a big goal that we have for this year so I feel like to have it tonight in front of all the fans and just get to recognize that before we head into the thick of season I feel like was super special Andy to hit as well against you know your own teammates that you're going up against in practice every day just what confidence does that give you as a hitter going into the season t I mean we have one of the best we're one of the best defensive teams in the country and so getting to hit a pretty good number against them I mean it's all credit to my teammates I couldn't do it without Lexi back there Laney our passers Harper Merritt you know whoever is back there I couldn't do without him because obviously can't run midds out of system but they do an amazing job they make it super easy Bergen she makes it super easy she's an amazing Setter and she's really good at finding me so it's all credit to my teammates it's a pretty quick turnaround between now the first game in Louisville how do you assess the confidence level going into that and how do you how do you make that quick turnaround yeah I think tonight can definitely be a confidence booster for everyone just to get a game under their belt um especially for the the transfers the freshman and it's not like we're just playing a scrimmage game like it's it feels like a real match and for how competitive our gym is it feels like a very high level match and so I feel like getting that under our Bel and then just getting to recover and head out to Kentucky and I honestly feel like we're very ready to play someone else um as much as we love playing each other um I think we're ready to just be one team and kind of take down other teams so I think that'll give us a lot of motivation But ultimately I think we all have a lot of confidence after tonight questions Lexi to have Connor and Lauren out there playing against them just can you talk a little bit about that and what did they bring from a depth standpoint and a talent standpoint yeah I mean Conor's a boy so he's just a little bit more physical than some other girls that we will play and so just having that level of physicality the higher block which is something we'll see down the road um I think it's challenging but it's a good test for our team and then just having Lauren's um kind of just all her experience and her composure I feel like it's good for other teammates to learn from her and then it's also like very challenging also just cuz how good how amazing of a competitor she is and how much composure she has so I feel like both of them can teach us a lot and also bring up the level in the gym so it was pretty cool to have them both all right thank you everyone thank you guys job look
