Husker volleyball back to regionals for 16th straight time

The No. 7 Nebraska volleyball team is set for their regional semifinals this weekend in Omaha starting with Iowa State tonight.  It will be the third meeting between these two squads.  The  Huskers are playing in their 16th consecutive NCAA Regional, a streak that more than doubles any other program in the nation.

Back on October 21st, the Huskers hosted Iowa State at the NU Coliseum and lost 3-2. The Huskers were up 2-1 in the match losing the fourth set and lost the fifth set 15-12. The Huskers got revenge on the Cyclones on their home court when they swept Iowa State back on November 7th.

If the Huskers advance they will take on Texas, ranked #2 in the country. The Longhorns beat NU twice this season with the Huskers winning just one set. The Huskers have lost three straight matches against the Longhorns.
