NCAA volleyball: How the Huskers get to Omaha

LEXINGTON, Ky. — It was about one year ago that Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook sat in the lobby of a Seattle hotel. Just a few hours earlier, for the third consecutive season, Nebraska had come up one win short of reaching the Final Four.

Cook said in that interview that the Huskers had let a great opportunity to reach the Final Four slip away with a three-set loss to BYU. Cook wasn’t dejected, though. He already had his eyes on Omaha, the site of the 2015 Final Four.

“We’ve got to do everything we can to get to Omaha,” Cook said that day.
