No. 1 ranked Nebraska faced off against No. 5 Texas in the NCAA volleyball tournament national championship game in Tampa, ending in a sweep by Texas. With strong momentum, the Longhorns were able to dominate, and despite a resilient performance by Nebraska, the Huskers were not able to overcome Texas’ incredible serve. With a defense systematically broken down by the Longhorn offense and a young roster showing potential, fans are hopeful for Nebraska’s chances in the future. The loss marks the Huskers’ second national championship game defeat in three years, but with no graduating seniors on the roster and a deep tournament run under their belt, the team is expected to be strong contenders for next year’s championship. The Nebraska freshman class is predicted to eventually secure the Huskers’ sixth championship win, but for now, this year’s team is left to mourn the tough loss in Tampa.
