After the match, the Nebraska players met with Maryland players at the net to apologize for the pregame incident. Earlier in the news conference, Ricketts urged Nebraskans to consider adopting or fostering children in need. He said the number of foster children adopted last year was down sharply compared with prior years, which he attributed to the effects of the pandemic. According to information from the Department of Health and Human Services, the 360 children adopted in 2020 was the lowest number since 2005. State officials noted, however, that the 646 children waiting for adoption is only slightly higher than normal.
