"Much bigger than just a volleyball program"- Former Baylor player Allie Sczech makes her feelings known about Nebraska Volleyball team after transfer

Allie Sczech recently expressed her joy after transferring to Nebraska Volleyball from Baylor. With a year of eligibility remaining, Sczech transferred to Nebraska earlier this year.

The 6-4, All-Big 12 player competed in the last three years at Baylor, where she earned All-Big 12 Second Team in both 2022 and 2024. She also contributed to the American team's gold medal victory at the 2023 Pan American Cup in Nogales, Mexico.

Currently pursuing her master's degree in Professional Journalism, Sczech emphasized Nebraska Volleyball's strong community pride and passion for the sport. She highlighted the program's social media presence. The All-Big 12 opposite hitter also reflected on Nebraska's culture of how the players and coaches are treated.

"You see it on social media, you see the press conferences, you see all the things and honestly I mean I remember just like on TikTok during like their Senior Night Week seeing like all of their press conference videos and like Merritt's speech and kind of everybody's like say on it and honestly like it isn't hard to know like even from the far that the culture is so important there and they're building something so much bigger than just a volleyball program," Sczech said.

She added:

"People are so invested in this sport and it's just like it's honestly incredible, like it's so cool to see that so may people care about volleyball and especially just like the pride at Nebraska, like it's truly one of a kind and I mean I always heard like there's no place like Nebraska but like being in it like there really is no place like Nebraska."
