The state of Nebraska has become a regular stop for the United States women’s volleyball team.
In recent years the national team has played matches in Ralston, in Omaha and at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. And next week they’ll be back, this time playing at the Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln.
With most of the matches the national team plays being out of sight of most fans, and with each of the tournaments that has been played in Nebraska being called something different, it’s hard to know if the significance of each tournament is baseball’s equivalent of a spring training game or the World Series.
