Ex-Nebraska volleyball star Merritt Beason shows off new nail design after homecoming appearance

Former Nebraska Volleyball player Merritt Beason has shared pictures of her new nails amidst her first year with Atlanta Vibe. This comes just a couple of days after her side's victory against the Omaha Supernovas on Saturday (April 19) during her Nebraska homecoming.

The Atlanta Vibe won the clash convincingly 3-0, to continue their winning momentum. Beason didn't get much time on the court against the Supernovas, having played just one set and contributed with two kills and a point.

Beason shared a picture featuring her nails on her Instagram stories. In the post, her nail design can be spotted in several colours, seemingly white, blue and red. The former Nebraska Volleyball captain further remarked:

She scored 16 kills and inflicted six digs in the four sets she played as her team won 3-2. So far in this 2025 PVF season, Beason has performed impressively in the offensive line with 188 kills.
