LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Nebraska volleyball team on Thursday released a long list of former Huskers that will play in the inaugural alumni match in August.

Former player and assistant coach Jordan Larson headlines the group, as she was a three-time All-American during her career at Nebraska (2005-08).

Larson also won a National Championship with Nebraska in 2006 and is a four-time Olympic medalist, leading Team USA to gold in 2021.

Her four Olympic medals are tied for the most all-time by a women’s volleyball player.
