Wow

History was officially made this week, but the record was not exactly a surprise. Tickets for "Volleyball Day in Nebraska" sold out in 48 hours in April. The event was so important for the program that UNL canceled in-person classes on Wednesday to encourage students to attend.
Nebraska has led the nation in volleyball attendance every season since 2013. The team has sold out an NCAA-record 306 consecutive regular season matches, but Wednesday did not count toward that streak because the match was not held at Devaney Center court.

Took a look at their roster and coaching staff

Expected to see a bunch of players from California but there are none. Players are from all over with 3 from Nebraska

I actually covered one of their players when she was in high school, the one year I did sports journalism here in Texas - Ally Batenhorst. Just a ridiculous athlete, 6'4", completely unstoppable if she got the right set. Her sister, Casey, is a 6'1" setter who started as a freshman for SMU. Probably not shocking that they dominated high school play, just feeding one another the whole time. I think all-told, I saw about two dozen players who would go Division I in my one year, which was quite the contrast from New England.
