    Penn St. HAD THEM, I mean HAD THEM in the 3rd set (see scoreboard) to complete a sweep of the defending National Champs in the semi's, but our girls fought off 3 set points and then took the next 2 to avoid a sweep.

    Had to laugh at the announcer in the 5th and final set talking about our star player...."Kadie Rolfsen thunders one through the PSU defense...WAKING BABIES IN THE NORTH BOTTOMS AREA!!"

    (North Bottoms is a section of town near the Devaney Center)

    Volleyball, interestingly I read an article recently that said volleyball in Texas is more popular than soccer. I always thought it would be way down the list, Soccer, Softball, Basketball, Track, Swimming...way back there Volleyball.

    I see that you guys get to face the Texas Longhorns in the semifinals. I don't pay much attention to it, but from what I read the Longhorns are a formidable foe for the Huskers!

    I've always enjoyed volleyball. Like baseball, it's never over 'til it's over...See AJ's second post in this topic.

    Didn't watch it, but always good to knock off the Huskers! They were the defending Champions and #1 seed. So good win for the Longhorns, now just have to beat Stanford.
