Currently, Division II UNK prepares for that decision, offered its statement to divide fall sports seasons — consisting of football — between the fall and spring. The NCAA has authorized a guideline to allow split seasons. UNK starts its season in late September.
Already, Omaha lost the first and second-round video games of the NCAA basketball competition and the 2020 College World Series. Mayor Jean Stothert estimated those events amounted a $75 million financial effect to the neighborhood.
” Its a serious blow,” Stothert said at the time.
Any post ponement or cancellation affects Omaha as the city is scheduled to host the 2020 NCAA Volleyball Final Four on Dec. 17 and 19. Provided the popularity of beach ball in the state and the high likelihood that either Nebraska or Creighton could make the Final Four, its a popular occasion every time it rolls into the city.
” Our plan right now is to select up video games we lose in the fall and complete our seasons by playing those games in the spring,” UNK athletic director Marc Bauer said. In the meantime, the exact same is true of teams in the MIAA, UNKs conference. “Most signs are that the NCAA will move champions to the spring.”
The all-decade Nebraska beach ball team
Team: Mikaela Foecke, outdoors hitter, 2015-18

SARAH HOFFMAN/THE WORLD-HERALD.
A two-time All-American, Stivrins has an efficient mix of power and athleticism. She perhaps runs the slide play much better than any gamer in Nebraska history. She hit.421 as a sophomore for the third-most effective season by a Husker..
She just played at Nebraska for one year, however what a year it was. After transferring from Tennessee, Robinson recorded 530 kills, the fifth most in program history and second most in the rally-scoring period (considering that 2001). She was the Big Ten gamer of the year in 2013 and first-team All-America.
Much like her sister, Amber took advantage of a position change, going from outdoors player to middle blocker. She was twice an All-American as a middle blocker, posted two of the top-10 blocking seasons in Nebraska history and finished sixth in profession blocks.
First Team: Kelly Hunter, setter, 2013-17.
She played 6 rotations for simply two years, but was named an All-American in both of those seasons. She led NUs offense in eliminates and ace serves in her final two seasons. She also won the Senior CLASS Award in 2012..
KENNETH FERRIERA/THE WORLD-HERALD.
She brought a beach mentality to the hardcourt and flew everywhere on the court making conserves. Wong-Orantes had a propensity for passing balls over her head from behind the end line to the pins for outside hitters. She was a two-time All-American and owns the records for a lot of digs in a career and single match, plus 3 of the top 10 private seasons..
BRENDAN SULLIVAN/THE WORLD-HERALD.
First String: Lauren Stivrins, middle blocker, 2017-present.
ANDREW DICKINSON/THE WORLD-HERALD.
ANDREW DICKINSON/THE WORLD-HERALD.
Team: Justine Wong-Orantes, libero, 2013-16.
CHRIS MACHIAN/THE WORLD-HERALD.
After splitting time in a 6-2 system, Hunter emerged from a redshirt year as one of the best setters in program history, assisting NU to 3 straight Final Fours. Her video game management and management abilities shone in huge matches as she was named All-America two times and the best female athlete at Nebraska for 2017-18.
First String: Amber Rolfzen, middle blocker, 2013-16.
RYAN SODERLIN/THE WORLD-HERALD.
Werth supported her nationwide freshman of the year award in 2009 by making the Big 12 protective gamer of the year award the following season. She was a two-time All-American and the only non-libero to lead the Huskers in digs during a season.
Junior Varsity: Gina Mancuso, outdoors hitter, 2009-2012.
After earning All-America for two years as an outdoors player, Rolfzen flipped to the other pin and unlocked another level, earning first-team honors her last two seasons. Shes one of simply 2 Huskers, in addition to Sarah Pavan, to be called an All-American 4 times.
Junior Varsity: Hannah Werth, outdoors player, 2009-12.
First String: Kadie Rolfzen, opposite player, 2013-16.
RYAN SODERLIN/THE WORLD-HERALD.
First String: Kelsey Robinson, outside player, 2013.
She was available in as the No. 2 recruit and left as one of the most dominant gamers in program history. Foecke was best on the biggest stages as she made the Final Four each year of her career and was named the most outstanding gamer twice. She ended her career with the 3rd most eliminates in NU history..
2nd Team: Annika Albrecht, outside hitter, 2014-17.
MATT DIXON/THE WORLD-HERALD.
ANDREW DICKINSON/THE WORLD-HERALD.
She made her 2nd All-American award in 2010 as she posted a. 410 hitting portion, tied for fourth-best in NU history. Shes fifth in career blocks and sixth in striking portion during the rally-scoring era.
She was the only gamer on the all-decade team to not earn an All-American award at Nebraska, but she did get one as a sophomore at LSU. After remaining 2015 as a transfer, she began for two years and led the 2017 title-winning team in striking percentage.
Second Team: Lauren Cook, setter, 2010-12.
DANIELLE BEEBE/THE WORLD-HERALD.
ADAM WARNER/THE WORLD-HERALD.
Junior Varsity: Brianna Holman, middle blocker, 2015-2017.
After she was the national freshman of the year at UCLA in 2009, Cook moved to NU to bet her father. She split time at setter as a sophomore, then began for 2 years and was an All-American as a senior..
Junior Varsity: Brooke Delano, middle blocker, 2008-2011.
She played every set during her four years, one of just 3 in the Cook age to do so. After playing three years as a back-row professional, Albrecht emerged as a six-rotation player and All-American with 3.02 eliminates per set as a senior.
2nd Team: Kenzie Maloney, libero, 2015-2018.

Maloney was a key back-row gamer during NUs 2015 national title run, then put on the libero jersey for the last 2 years. She published 2 of NUs top 10 digging seasons and was an All-American in 2018.
