Nebraska volleyball team grieving after weekend death of graduate student manager

The Nebraska volleyball team this season is one of the closest and best groups that coach John Cook can remember in 20 years as the head coach.

In that group Cook includes the 16 players, the coaches, the athletic performance staff and the graduate managers.

It’s a group that enjoys being with each other, and Cook says he can’t recall a team that was so grateful for what they’re provided.

Officer Angela Sands said at about 9:30 a.m. police went to Seventh and N streets on a report of a body found. She said they found Leclair, of Pittsford, New York, who died after falling from the fourth floor of a parking garage.
