Nebraska volleyball has already defeated three ranked opponents this season: Kentucky, Creighton and Arizona State.
Before heading to the Bluegrass State, the Huskers are hosting No. 2 Stanford at the Devaney Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Nebraska has faced off with Louisville six times, the Huskers winning five of those bouts. But the Cardinals most recently swept the Huskers in 2021.
Louisville’s head coach, Dani Busboom Kelly, played for the Huskers during her storied collegiate career, helping the team win a national title in 2006.
She became an assistant coach for her alma mater in 2012 before being given the keys to Louisville’s program in 2017.
