Harper Murray revealed her goals for the 2025 season

After the Nebraska Cornhuskers' loss and the retirement of the head coach, John Cook, Harper Murray opened up about her and the team’s plans for the 2025 NCAA volleyball season in a press conference. She expressed regret for not securing the title for Cook but affirmed the team's commitment to winning the national championship for their new coach, Dani Busboom Kelly.

Explaining her and her team’s mindset for this season, she said:

”A lot of us wanted to win a national championship with coach. But I think the way that we can reframe that in our head is now we can win one for him. And I think that's the best way to approach this year. And you know, we can win one for coach. We can win one for Dani. We can win one for all the little girls that look up to us in Nebraska and around the country. So, I think that's how we need to reframe it for this year,” Harper Murray said [1:31:01 onwards].
