Nebraska volleyball continues to write its story of excellence, and this week, setter Bergen Reilly carved her name deeper into the program’s record books. With her steady hands, sharp vision, and unmatched consistency, Reilly has officially passed Dani Busboom Kelly on Nebraska’s rally scoring era assists list, moving into the top five all-time.
This achievement is no small milestone. Nebraska volleyball is one of the most successful programs in NCAA history, built on a tradition of dominance, hard work, and legendary athletes. For Reilly to join the company of Husker greats is a clear sign that her impact on the program will be felt for years to come.
Busboom Kelly, a former standout setter and now a respected coach in her own right, had long held her place among Nebraska’s best. To surpass her mark means Reilly has reached a new level of production and consistency that only a select few have managed to achieve in the rally scoring era.
What makes this moment even more special is the way Reilly has led the Huskers on the court. A setter’s role is often described as the “quarterback” of a volleyball team, and Reilly has embraced that responsibility with maturity beyond her years. Her ability to distribute the ball, create opportunities for her hitters, and keep opponents guessing has been crucial to Nebraska’s continued success this season.
Fans have seen her develop game by game, delivering highlight assists that turn rallies into points and points into momentum. Every time she steps on the court, Reilly demonstrates poise, creativity, and a relentless drive to make her teammates better. It’s the kind of leadership that transforms talented squads into championship contenders.
Reilly’s climb into the top five also reflects the team’s overall dominance. Nebraska’s strong offense has been fueled by her precision, and the numbers show just how critical she has been. As she continues to build her career, more milestones are likely on the horizon, and Husker fans can expect her to keep rewriting the record books.
Reactions have poured in from fans, teammates, and alumni, celebrating the setter’s achievement. Many see it not just as a personal victory for Reilly, but as a moment that highlights the strength and continuity of Nebraska volleyball. The program’s legacy is carried forward each time a player reaches new heights, and Reilly has now joined that elite circle.
As the Huskers push deeper into the season, the focus remains on team goals winning matches, chasing conference titles, and pursuing another national championship. But milestones like this remind us to pause and appreciate the remarkable journey of individual players who make those goals possible.
For Bergen Reilly, surpassing Dani Busboom Kelly is more than just a statistic. It’s a testament to her talent, dedication, and the bright future that still lies ahead. And for Nebraska volleyball, it’s another proud chapter in a story that never stops inspiring.
