Whatever you want to call it, the season has a similar outcome as several of the other ones for the program: The Huskers are headed to the NCAA Final Four.
Nebraska had to travel a little further than it hoped here to Kentucky, but the final destination is what the Huskers wanted, a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, for the national semifinals. Nebraska will play Penn State on Thursday. Penn State has only lost one match this season, but it came against Nebraska.
Kentucky earned the No. 4 seed for the NCAA volleyball tournament that Nebraska felt like it deserved after winning the Big Ten Conference and finishing the regular season on a 13-match winning streak.
