The Husker Volleyball Team swept its way into the round of 16 of the National Championship Tournament. NU beat Coastal Carolina 3-0 in round 1 and UNI 3-0 in round 2. The Huskers now move on to play in the Regional Semi-Final in Omaha. The Huskers get Iowa State who they split the regular season matches 1-1. In the season series ISU beat NU 3-2 in October, but the Huskers got revenge just 3 weeks later sweeping ISU in Ames, IA. If the Huskers beat ISU they get the winner of Texas vs. Texas A&M, the Big XII is assured of having a team in the Final 4 in Tampa, FL. Texas is the most likely opponent as they are 26-1 on the season and the #2 overall seed in the Tournament. The Huskers are 0-2 against them this year, getting swept both times. Can the Huskers beat ISU and then upset the Texas Longhorns to get to the Final 4?
The NU vs. ISU Game will be 7/11 at 7pm CST.
