Greatest season a new standard for Louisville Volleyball

Too good to be true, that dream of going undefeated and winning the NCAA national championship with a 34-0 record.

The best team in University of Louisville Volleyball history has been eliminated, one game short of completing a dream season. One inescapable conclusion here is that it could only have been accomplished by a Wisconsin team featuring a pair of giant blockers, 6-foot-9 Anna Smrek and 6-foot-8 Dana Rettke, respectively. A Wisconsin program in the Final Four for a fourth consecutive season.
