Brooke Nuneviller arrived at Oregon in 2018 as a well-rounded prospect with a bright future as a libero. She will leave as one of the most accomplished players in program history, ranking in the Ducks’ career top 10 for points, kills, digs and service aces.
At times she has been most vital to her team as a back-row defender and passer; at other times, its most potent offensive force as a hitter. Always, she has been the emotional heart and soul of the program, a fiery competitor who puts her body on the line for the Ducks while exuding infectious positivity.
Statistics only scratch the surface when it comes to quantifying Nuneviller’s impact on the Oregon volleyball program. So to mark her Senior Day, Nuneviller’s coaches and teammates were asked to pass along some of their favorite memories, and their impressions of just what makes her tick.
ERIKA DILLARD, UO assistant coach: People will generally ask, who is your next Brooke Nuneviller? My response is always the same — there is no other Brooke Nuneviller.
AUGUST RASKIE, UO volleyball 2015-18: In my honest opinion, I think Brooke Nuneviller is not one in a million, she’s the type of person that’s once in a lifetime.
MATT ULMER, UO head coach: This whole year, I’ve tried to remind myself and talk to her all the time, like, I just want to enjoy each and every day. Because I know the time will come when we don’t get to be together all the time. She’s just unbelievably special as a human being, and obviously a great volleyball player. She makes me a better coach, she makes her teammates better — she’s elevated our program immensely.
GEORGIA MURPHY, UO junior: Brooke is the definition of one of the greatest competitors of all time. She will do ANYTHING and I MEAN ANYTHING to win. Whether it’s extra reps after practice, a positive conversation, or a team-bonding event, she will make it happen to help any teammate.
AUGUST RASKIE, UO volleyball 2015-18: She is such a competitor. She is relentless in what she gives to the team, emotionally and physically. She’s the type of player that has no limits. She’s willing to do what’s necessary in order to succeed, and then some. Brooke Nuneviller is a competitor, a fiery spirit and all-around a really great teammate. And I’m so honored I got to experience playing with her.
