Merritt Beason opened up about the learnings that she and the Nebraska side took from the 0-3 loss at Tampa during the 2023 NCAA Championship match. In an interview, Beason shared that she and Nebraska were despaired after that final loss against Texas but they were able to experience the moment of reaching the Championship final match.

The 21-year-old also mentioned that she and the other Nebraska players wouldn't want to experience that feeling. She said (via NBC Sports, 5:36 onwards):

"I mean you take a lot from it, obviously you take a lot of grief from it as well and you take a lot of fire but for us I think we gained the experience of what it takes to get there, which is very hard to do also what it feels like in that big moment and also what it feels like to not succeed in that moment and I think most of us would agree that we don't ever want to feel that again so it is a bit of extra motivation."

Notably, the 2023-24 season was also Merritt Beason's first season for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She previously competed for the Florida Gators in her first two seasons of college.
