Volleyball: National Championship Set After Huskers Win a Thriller

Stanford vs. Nebraska. Kenzie Maloney and Mikaela Foecke will play in their third National Championship. Saturday night’s NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball National Championship match is set.

After the Stanford Cardinal swept the BYU Cougars in the first match, the Nebraska Cornhuskers took on familiar conference foe the Illinois Fighting Illini for the right to extend the season one more match. The Huskers won a heart-stopper 3-2 (22-25, 16-25, 25-23, 25-20, 15-11).

The first two points of the semifinal match went Nebraska’s way before the Illinois attack found the floor, but freshman outside hitter Capri Davis scored immediately again to give the serve back to the Huskers. A kill from sophomore outside Jazz Sweet made it 4-1 Huskers.

Illinois fought back to 4-3 Huskers, but couldn’t hold the serve longer than two, and a 3-1 run put the Huskers up 7-4 before freshman DS Megan Miller’s serve missed just long.
