Are you kidding me? Seriously...are you kidding me?!?!?!!
The Nebraska Cornhusker volleyball team will go back to the Final 4 after one of the greatest comebacks in school history. Nebraska wins the Washington regional after defeating host Washington 3 sets to 2.
Nebraska lost the first two sets 14-25 and 23-25. Nebraska then came back to win sets three and four 25-17 and 26-24. Then came an amazing game number 5. Nebraska trailed 3-0 and 9-3 in the 5th set. Nebraska then reeled off 9 straight points on the serve Kayla Banwarth. Nebraska closed out the match with an ace serve from Jordan Larson winning game number 5, 15-13.
Nebraska will come back to Omaha and play at the Qwest Center for the Final 4. Nebraska won the national championship in the Final 4’s previous appearance at the Qwest in 2006. Their semifinal matchup will get much more difficult. Penn State comes in at 36-0. Wait...there’s more. They have not lost a game (set)...ALL YEAR. My college math tells me that is 108 (36x3) straight games. On the other side it will be Texas vs. Stanford.
But let us not dwell on the juggernaut that will be ahead of the Huskers on Thursday. What an amazing comeback from the Huskers. One of the best matches in Husker history.

“They have not lost a game (set)...ALL YEAR.”
Sounds familiar, eh?

Actually it doesn’t. No one has ever got this deep into the year without losing a game.
