Nebraska volleyball head coach John Cook announced Friday that Tiani Reeves and Brooke Smith have decided to leave the program.

Reeves will join the Track and Field program at Nebraska after spending two years with the volleyball team. Smith intends to transfer and play with a new team. 

“Brooke and Tiani have been an important part of our program the last two years and I am very thankful for the contributions they've made on and off the court,” Cook said. “They've been fantastic teammates and have put in maximum effort in all aspects of being a student-athlete. I wish Brooke all the best as she moves on to a new team, and I'm excited to see where Tiani's track and field talents take her.”

“I want to thank my teammates, coaches, the Nebraska Athletics Department and the incredible fan base for an unforgettable experience at the University of Nebraska,” Smith said. “Lincoln holds a special place in my heart and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to compete at such a high level. My time here was extremely memorable and I have appreciated every moment.”

“My time with the Nebraska volleyball team has been nothing but a dream come true. None of that would be possible without my teammates and coaches," Reeves said. "I know they will have continued success and I am eternally grateful for my two years with the team. Nebraska is the best place to be for every sport, and I'm excited to be able to still represent the University with a different jersey.”
