​When Andi Jackson sat out the DePaul match with an ankle injury, Kenna Cogill filled in with four kills and seven blocks. Manaia Ogebchie missed the Creighton match with an illness, and Cogill stepped in again, posting eight kills on 11 swings and two blocks. When Teraya Sigler left a match with a foot injury, Siyler Pierce replaced her. After recording four kills against Rutgers, Pierce finished with seven kills on a .333 hitting percentage with two aces versus Ohio State. Bergen Reilly sat out the Huskers’ contest against Rutgers after spraining her ankle, and Campbell Flynn recorded 35 assists in her place during a sweep as NU hit .278. No. 1 Nebraska has relied upon its depth to deal with minor injuries and illnesses during the first six weeks of the season and remains undefeated. Busboom Kelly said she doesn’t take their depth for granted and is proud that they can change their lineup and still play at a high level regardless of who is on the court. Despite their depth, she said it doesn’t impact their approach to recovery and availability. “We’re still going to do what’s best for the team in that moment, and put the players out there we think that’ll give us the best chance to be great that particular day,” Busboom Kelly said.HOW?! 🤯@Ryanmatea terminates on a crazy push from @CampbellFlynn1! pic.twitter.com/6EJH6RPL7Y— Nebraska Volleyball (@HuskerVB) October 3, 2026Even without the impetus of injuries, the Huskers have used plenty of their depth this season, as sophomore opposite Ryan Hunter played the entire match against Maryland on Saturday. Busboom Kelly mixes up the lineups during practice, so every hitter and setter gets time to ensure they are comfortable playing all sorts of combinations. Sigler left the Missouri match on Sept. 23 with a foot injury. She was in street clothes when the Huskers swept Rutgers two days later, but returned and played in the back row against Ohio State the following evening. She said others might wonder how she handles the changes from match to match. During her time on the bench, Sigler was cheering hard for her teammates on the court, wanting to see them do well. “It’s a celebration of our team working so hard to have no drop-off, and we counterbalance each other so well in our strengths and our weaknesses that everyone can go in and make a difference,” Sigler said. “It’s super cool and a testament to our coaches that work so hard to put us in these positions.”Because they don’t know when their number might get called due to sickness or injury, they have to stay locked in and ready to go into the match. “There’s so much confidence in every single person on this team that if we need them or when we need them, they are there and they’re ready,” Sigler said. “There’s no dip in confidence. There’s no dip in support. We are all there for each other. It takes 16 of us, not just the six to eight players that do play throughout the game.”Like clockwo
