UPDATE
FINAL:
Nebraska 3
Wisconsin 0
Nebraska sweeps Wisconsin in Elite Eight match to capture the Lincoln Regional title (26-24, 25-17, 25-21)
The regional #1 seed Huskers (33-2) have now beaten the #2 seed Badgers (26-7) in all three matchups this season. All three wins have been sweeps.
Nebraska had lost 10 in a row to Wisconsin but has now won 4 of the last 5 to move its all-time record to 12-13 in the series history.
Oh, and that’ll be a 29th all-time Final Four appearance for the Nebraska volleyball program. Will say this for the millionth time: Just an absurd number for Husker volleyball.
Elite Eight results
1 Pitt def. 3 Kentucky (3-0)
1 Louisville def. 2 Stanford (3-1)
1 Nebraska def. 2 Wisconsin (3-0)
1 Penn State vs. 2 Creighton (Sunday at 7:30 p.m. CT)
Final Four
1 Pitt vs. 1 Louisville
1 Nebraska vs. 1 Penn State/2 Creighton
No matter the opponent, the Huskers will get a rematch in the national semifinals.
They defeated Creighton in a five-set thriller on Sept. 10 in Lincoln (25-19, 25-16, 31-33, 16-25, 15-10) and lost on the road at Penn State on Nov. 29 in four sets (21-25, 25-14, 22-25, 23-25) as the Nittany Lions secured a co-Big Ten championship with the win.
