The national finals are set — (1) Nebraska vs. (2) Texas — and it’ll be the first time that the DI volleyball championship will be aired on ABC. Ahead of this historic matchup, here are six intriguing storylines to be on the lookout for:
1. Extending streaks
Nebraska and Texas have seen each other on the national championship stage on two prior occasions: 1995 and 2015; the Huskers have beaten the Longhorns 3-1 and 3-0, respectively.
