The Nebraska volleyball team will play in match 1 of the 2017 NCAA Volleyball Final Four Thursday night in Kansas City. The Huskers face both a familiar foe and a familiar path in Kansas City. Nebraska will face fellow Big Ten opponent Penn State (33-1) Thursday. The Huskers handed the Nittany Lions their only loss this season on Sept. 22 in University Park, and Nebraska also eliminated Penn State from the 2016 NCAA Tournament with a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the regional semifinal. For the second straight season, Nebraska will face a rematch with a semifinal opponent who the Huskers beat during the regular season and eliminated from the previous year’s NCAA Tournament. Last year in Columbus, Nebraska was swept by Texas in its semifinal match after sweeping the Longhorns during the regular season and topping Texas in the 2015 NCAA Final. Thursday’s match is scheduled for 6pm and will be broadcast live on KBBN 95.3 FM with coverage beginning at 5:30 on the Husker Sports Network. The Nebraska / Penn State winner will advance to the championship match on Saturday against the winner of Florida / Stanford.
