The Dallas Morning News named Ames the 2021 All-Area Newcomer of the Year and she was also the 2021 District 5-6A Newcomer of the Year.

Ames is the third class of 2024 player to commit to Nebraska in the last five days. She joins Olathe (Kansas) Northwest outside hitter Skyler Pierce and Bennington (Nebraska) libero Olivia Mauch.

All three of the Huskers’ 2024 commits will be in Tulsa in July for the U.S. U19 National Training Team.

College coaches have been allowed to contact class of 2024 athletes since June 15 and Nebraska’s 2024 scholarships are filling up quickly.
