No. 5 Texas vs. No. 1 Nebraska is an ‘iconic matchup’ in the NCAA Tournament final

When Texas Longhorns head coach Jerritt Elliott took over the historic volleyball program on the Forty Acres, the Longhorns were coming off a 10-18 season. The Nebraska Cornhuskers had just won their second national championship and served as the sport’s gold standard before going on to win three more titles and continue to pace college volleyball in overall wins and weeks ranked No. 1.

On Sunday, the Longhorns and Cornhuskers will face off for a national championship in Tampa at Amalie Arena as Elliott’s team tries to win back-to-back titles in its seventh appearance in the NCAA Tournament final in the last 15 years, the most in the country over that stretch.
