Coach Cook says: “Mikaela Foecke is the type of player that was made for the Nebraska volleyball program. She is
a small-town Iowa kid who has an outstanding work ethic and attitude. She has one of the most powerful arms in
the 2015 class, and we will expect her to contribute to the team right away as a freshman. Most of her experience
is at middle blocker, but she is talented and athletic enough to play multiple spots on the floor. Mikaela has been a
starter on the U.S. Youth National Team, as well as on the Junior National Team, so she has plenty of experience on
the ‘big stage’.”
