National Championship Match on Tap for Husker Volleyball

While I was jamming to U2 at the Qwest last night, the Husker’s trounced unseeded Santa Clara to advance to the National Championship Game in San Antonio. Thankfully, Saturday’s game will be televised on ESPN2 starting at 5:00 CST.

From Huskers.com:

Senior All-American Melissa Elmer led three players in double-figure kills by pounding a match-high 13 kills on .647 hitting – tying for the fourth-best postseason mark in NU history – as the No. 1 Nebraska volleyball team advanced to the fifth championship match in program history with a 3-0 sweep of Santa Clara (30-24, 30-19, 30-21) in front of 7,931 fans at the Alamodome Thursday evening.

The Huskers will look for their third national title and first since 2000 on Saturday at 5 p.m. in a match televised live on ESPN2. The Huskers – backed by over 4,000 fans who made the trip and another 2,500 at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, will look to become only the third team in NCAA history to be ranked No. 1 from wire to wire.

    Hey now! Your Huskers are always embarrassing the Big 12. Sheesh! You got swept
    by Washington? Sheesh!

    I don’t what is more embarrassing to the Big 12 your humiliation in the Volleyball final
    or those stinker OU Sooners football team who laid an egg last January.

    We’ll show you all who is the ONLY legitimate TITLE contending and winning school in the
    Big 12. And, that is Texas.

    And, we’ll always spank your butt in football every year. And, we also spanked you
    in volleyball too hehehehe
