NCAA volleyball: Huskers one win away from Omaha after sweeping Cougars

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The next match is the most important match of the season. At least that’s what coaches, and occasionally, players will tell you.

That’s really the case for the Nebraska volleyball team on Saturday.

This is a one match for a trip to the Final Four, a place Nebraska hasn’t been since 2008. That’s a long time for a program with three NCAA titles. And this year, the Final Four is just up the road in Omaha.

It’s hard to image Nebraska going into the biggest match of the season in a much better way than the fifth-ranked Huskers’ 26-24, 25-17, 25-23 sweep of No.
