Lexi Rodriguez shared her feelings as she joined her first professional team after spending four years with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Rodriguez stated that she was heartbroken after she played the last match for the Huskers and also mentioned not being able to win the National Championships for the program. She added that she is excited to start her pro career with LOVB Omaha. She said (via Footboom):

"It was incredibly heartbreaking knowing that was my last time on the court for Nebraska. I'd hoped we could clinch the championship, but being a Husker has been an extraordinary journey for me. This marks a fresh start for me. I cannot wait to dive into this new chapter."

During the interview, Lexi Rodriguez also said that the opportunity to play with her former Husker mates Lauren Stivrins and Madi Kubik-Banks in the LOVB Omaha team will help her get acclimatized in her new side. Stivrins was a middle-blocker for the Huskers, while Kubik-Banks was an outside hitter.
