NCAA Volleyball Championships

The Nebraska Cornhuskers swept Texas Longhorns 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, and 25-21)
Saturday to win the Division I Women's Volleyball National Championship in Omaha, Nebraska. The Huskers won their fourth national title.

To reach the finals Saturday, Texas defeated Minnesota Golden Gophers 3-1 and Nebraska beat Kansas Jayhawks 3-1. I was hoping for an all Big Ten final, but it wasn't to be.

Leading the way for the Huskers was freshman Mikaela Foecke with a match high 19 kills. Foecke was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Junior Amber Rolfzen chipped in with 10 kills and four blocks. Sophomore setter Kelly Hunter contributed with 42 assists.
