Moments after the Big Ten Conference revealed the league volleyball schedule for this fall, Nebraska unveiled its full slate.

The Huskers have 20 Big Ten matches after 10 nonconference contests. Nebraska opens with the AVCA First Serve Showcast at Pinnacle Bank Arena against Pittsburgh and Stanford.

The only road non-con matches are in Nashville at Lipscomb (Aug. 29) and against Kentucky (Aug. 31, Broadway Block Party), as well as Sept. 16 at Creighton. The first away match in Big Ten play is at defending national champion Penn State on Oct. 3, with the Nittany Lions returning to Lincoln on Black Friday.

Other home matches for the Big Red in the non-conference include California, Utah, and Arizona. The regular-season finale is against Ohio State on Nov. 29.

Prior to the season, Nebraska will have its annual Red-White Scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 9 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers will also hold an Alumni Match at the Devaney Center on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Nebraska is coming off of a 33-3 season in which the Huskers finished as co-Big Ten Champions. Just a few months ago, head coach John Cook retired and was promptly replaced by former Husker Dani Busboom Kelly.

The full schedule is below.
