To sum up, Texas beat Nebraska in straight sets in the NCAA title match.
The Texas Longhorns won their second straight national title by beating the top-seeded Nebraska Cornhuskers 3-0 (25-22, 25-14, 25-11). The team’s fourth NCAA title, and its third under head coach Jerritt Elliott.
Texas set a new NCAA championship record in 12 service aces, and the last one sealed its national win.
That was the most impressive thing about the Longhorn serve. For Asjia O’Neal, this is the best set of aces she has ever made in her career. She got four in a row to the second set.
Most Valuable Player in the Tournament went to Madisen Skinner. She had 16 hits and 5 digs, which were the most in the match.
Her third title between two different schools, Kentucky and Texas, which doesn’t happen very often.
Elle Swindle, the setter, had 21 assists, two aces, as well as seven saves, as well as five kills of her own.
The Huskers had a lot of problems with serve-receive, and they also made a lot of unforced mistakes, which limited their hitting to.013 and their kills-errors ratio to 20-19.
It wasn’t until November 2019 against Minnesota that Nebraska lost a set by a score of 25–11 or worse.
Texas beat Wisconsin in the quarterfinals and Nebraska to the final by scores of 12, 9, 3, 11, and 14. This was part of its run to the title.
The Longhorns won 3-2 when Madi Skinner tipped the ball into a weak spot on the defense putting Texas ahead.
She then got her 12th kill off a NU block to make it 3-2. With another slam out the hands into the left side, Skinner got her third point of the set.
The Longhorns won 7–3. Skinner got her 14th kill via a cross-court shot, but Bekka Allick and Merritt Beason stopped her next swing.
Asjia O’Neal got her third kill on the slide, and Skinner threw UT’s eleventh ace of the day. Ally Batenhorst’s swing went long enough to give Texas a bigger lead.
The Nebraska volleyball team is close to winning its sixth national title. The Huskers only need to beat an old rival, Texas. Texas easily beat Wisconsin, the only team NU has beaten this season, in the national playoffs.
It’s 2:20 p.m. Central time when the first serve starts at Amalie Arena. The TV show is on ABC, and the radio call is always with John Baylor or Lauren Cook West. Harper Murray got her first kill, and Skinner’s swing missed.
So, Nebraska has had another great season. For the sixth time, they are the national runner-up. Thanks for following along today and all season long. This afternoon, more will come from Tampa.
With a sweep of No. 1 Nebraska on the Sunday, Texas won its second straight NCAA volleyball title. It was a record-setting crowd of 19,727 people at Amalie Arena to watch Texas win their fourth national title.
The Longhorns gave off gas. They beat the Huskers badly in the next two matches to win 25-22, 25-14, and 25-11. In the first set, they barely won.
It began at the service line, where they had a championship-high 12 aces to keep Nebraska out of the game and out of sync.
The Huskers hit.013 percent for the whole game, with Harper Murray having the most kills with seven.
Once more, it was the Madi Skinner show. This player got 16 kills, which was the most in the tournament and helped her team win its second national title.
It’s the senior’s third title. He won it all with Kentucky in 2020, when they beat Texas in the final. Asjia O’Neal, a sixth-year player while Longhorns star, gave the team a team-high five aces, one of which won the game.
Even though the Longhorns was the reigning champions, this game didn’t see them as the favorite. After a 5-3 start, they lost their first game of the season. This won them the second seed in the tournament.
The Huskers, on the other hand, had only lost one game all season, and that was to Wisconsin, the team that Texas upset in the playoffs.
In the final game, their youth showed as they made mistakes and didn’t talk to each other clearly. They won’t have any seniors this year, so all that means is they’ll be healthy and stronger next year.
