“I am so excited to announce that I will be coming back to play my final season of college volleyball at the University of Nebraska,” Sun said. “Because of the challenges that have come along with the past year, I am grateful to have received another opportunity to play and compete alongside some of my favorite people.
“I am especially looking forward to getting to play in front of Husker nation one last time.”
A two-time All-American, Sun led the Huskers this spring Huskers with 3.64 kills per set and added 2.21 digs per set. She recorded five double-doubles on the season and totaled 43 blocks and a team-high 26 service aces.
“I am pumped Lexi has chosen to return to Nebraska for one more season,” Head Coach John Cook said. “She has really grown as a player and a person in the last three years at Nebraska. Lexi still has unfinished business at Nebraska.
“We will be on a mission this season and her experience can help our younger group get there faster.”
Sun will spend her academic time in Lincoln continuing her work on a master’s degree in advertising and public relations.
