The Nebraska volleyball player, Bergen Reilly, shared a cute glimpse of cheering for Lexi Rodriguez with her little sister. The former Husker opened her 2026 season on January 7.
Reilly concluded her 2025 NCAA season on December 14 at the regional final. Her team had a perfect season, as they remained unbeaten until this round. Her team met Texas A&M in the regional final, where they dominated the head-to-head round and claimed a 3-2 (25-22, 25-22, 20-25, 35-37, 15-13) win. This loss marked the Huskers’ first loss of the season and the end of their championships.
She played a significant role during this match, registering 2 aces, 3 blocks, 58 assists, and 13 digs. Currently, the setter is in her off-season and is cheering for her former teammate, Rodriguez. The latter opened her 2026 pro volleyball season with her team, LOVB Nebraska, on Wednesday. She and her team contested against LOVB Austin in the first match of the season.
Amid this match, Reilly posted an endearing snap with her little sister, Emmie, while they cheered for Rodriguez. Taking to her Instagram story, she uploaded a photo where both she and her sister stood in front of the television that featured the former Nebraska player. The story’s caption read:
“And of course cheering on our favorite little❤️❤️ @lexi.rodriguez__”
The LOVB Austin won the first match with a score of 3-2 (22-25, 25-20, 22-25, 25-22, 15-9).
Bergen Reilly Made Her Feelings Known About Winning Her First Team All-American Honor
Days after the unexpected loss of the Nebraska volleyball team, Bergen Reilly received the AVCA First Team All-American award. Following this triumph, she spoke to AVCA volleyball, where she opened up about winning the honor. She credited her team for the award and expressed gratitude toward her family and her coaching team for their support.
Stating that she couldn’t do it without her teammates, she said:
“My name is Bergen Reilly and I’m a first team All American. It’s really special. I mean, I have such a great group of girls around me and I couldn’t do it without them. And we always say that all the individual awards are team awards, truly. And I couldn’t do it, especially as a setter. I couldn’t do it without great passers and great hitters. So it’s just really cool to be recognized in this way. It was so much fun,” said Bergen Reilly.
She added:
“We just had such a great group, a great group of coaches and just really a fun and free season. And it was just so special to be a part of. I want to obviously thank my family, but especially just my coaches. I think that they really found another gear in me this year and I knew I had it in me, but I needed them to bring it out of me a little bit.”
Bergen Reilly recently shared a 2025 recap on her social media, highlighting the special Husker moments she had with her teammates.
