The NCAA Volleyball regionals are done and dusted, and the semifinals are beckoning. After some intense action and nerve-wracking matches, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Pittsburgh Panthers, Texas Longhorns, and Wisconsin Badgers are the four teams through to the semifinals.
The Cornhuskers, who have won five previous championships, will face the Panthers in what promises to be a thrilling match. The Pitts are making their third consecutive semifinal appearance, but are yet to make it to the final in an NCAA Volleyball Championships.
The two teams last battled each other in 2021 in an NCAA final-four encounter, where Nebraska emerged victorious. Coming into this match, the Huskers are once again the favorites for the win, having done a splendid job all season with only one loss to speak of.
Meanwhile, Texas Longhorns, the defending champions, certainly look intimidating going into their semifinals against the Wisconsin Badgers. The Longhorns have been the team behind a major upset this season, taking down No. 1 seed Stanford on their homecourt in California.
On the other hand, the Badgers are the favorites to win the title, with the likes of Big Ten Player of the Week, Sarah Franklin, repping their side. Wisconsin last won the NCAA Volleyball Championships in 2021 and will be eager to reclaim their title.
