Lexi Rodriguez reflects on her journey and shares heartfelt gratitude as she bids farewell to Nebraska volleyball.
It's hard to process the fact that Lexi Rodriguez has finished her career as the libero on the Nebraska volleyball team without winning a national championship but reality smacked Husker Nation in the face Thursday night with a 3-2 loss to Penn State in the Final Four.
But with a quivering lip, Rodriguez fought back tears as she expressed gratitude for her time in a Husker uniform. “I’m just so grateful for every one. And I’ll say it for my entire life that this program was truly the best thing that ever happened to me.” “Kayla is like, ‘We’ve got to offer her, we’ve got to offer her.’ She’s going into ninth grade. I’m like, ‘She’s too small. I want taller liberos. We’ve got to cover the court.’ I was using some examples of some liberos in other programs at that time that were six-foot liberos that people were using. She goes, ‘Coach, we are offering.’ She’s in my face, pounding on my chest: ‘We are offering her. We are not letting her leave without offering her.
