The Cinderella story of the Nebraska Women's Volleyball team has been completed. They are the National Champions for 2017. This is the fifth championship for the Nebraska Cornhuskers! This last victory was our eighth appearance in the final game. Nebraska is 5-3 and 4-1 under John Cook.

The following is from Noteworthy Numbers in the Omaha World-Herald Sunday.

Nebraska was 12-3 against ranked opponents in 2017, including 7-0 against teams in the top 10 and 4-0 against teams in the top five.

John Cook is 66-14 in NCAA tournament at Nebraska. With the win, he became the fourth coach with four NCAA championships.

Annika Albrecht, a second team All-American, played her 21st career NCAA tournament match, which tied an NU record.

This year was the ninth time in 11 seasons that a Big Ten team has reached the NCAA final. Big Ten squads have gone 8-2 in those appearances with Penn State beating Wisconsin in 2013.
