OMAHA — We interrupt Nebraska's volleyball euphoria for a brief public-service announcement.
Enjoy the moment, Husker fans. Drink it in. Savor it. Bask in the glow. All the while, be mindful that winning NCAA volleyball championships is becoming increasingly challenging thanks to parity in the sport. You see more and more excellent programs. John Cook, the 16th-year NU coach, can't stress the sentiment enough.
Which makes Nebraska's 25-23, 25-23, 25-21 win against third-ranked Texas on Saturday night all the more remarkable.
The fifth-ranked Huskers dismantled a Longhorn team that was loaded with talent and chemistry.
"I don't know what else we could've done," Texas coach Jerritt Ellliott said after his team finished 30-3.
