Undefeated Huskers Chase Perfect Season Legacy

Nebraska volleyball has been nearly untouchable in 2025. The 33-1 Cornhuskers completed an undefeated regular season and swept through the NCAA tournament with dominant performances. Their only loss came before the postseason.

Led by senior outside hitter Taylor Landfair, a six-year college player competing in her second season at Nebraska, the Huskers bring one of the nation’s most potent offenses to today’s matchup. Landfair earned AVCA All-America First Team honors in 2022 and North Region Player of the Year that same season.

Coach John Cook‘s squad has set an Elite Eight appearance as the minimum acceptable outcome. The path to Kansas City runs through the Aggies today.

Texas A&M Eyes Upset Against Top Seed

Texas A&M arrives in Lincoln with momentum from a remarkable regular season. The Aggies finished 22-3 before the tournament and currently hold a 26-4 overall record. Though seeded sixth, the Aggies have proven they can compete with elite programs.

The Aggies dominated their lineup with a historic .525 hitting percentage during their regular season. Ifenna Cos-Okpalla and Addi Applegate lead the attack for Texas A&M. The question is whether that firepower translates against Nebraska’s elite defensive system.

Texas A&M defeated Louisville in their regional semifinal to earn this showcase matchup against the nation’s top team.

What Experts Say About Nebraska’s Chances

Nebraska enters as overwhelming favorites to advance. The Huskers’ depth and tournament experience give them a significant edge. Every major publication and analyst lists Nebraska as the probable winner.

However, NCAA tournament volleyball has shown upsets are possible. Texas A&M’s offensive weapons cannot be ignored. If the Aggies can force a fourth set and put pressure on Nebraska’s servers, anything becomes possible in volleyball.

The key for Nebraska will be serving aggressively and preventing Texas A&M from finding rhythm. The Huskers must dictate from the service line and force the Aggies into defensive positions early and often throughout all three or four sets.
