One of the greatest weeks in NCAA Division I women’s volleyball history ended Sunday with dramatic finishes.
Four days after No. 1 Wisconsin and Marquette set the NCAA indoor attendance record on the same night that Louisville set a home attendance record and boffo TV ratings were sprinkled throughout, consider what happened Sunday:
— First, on ESPN2, No. 5 Stanford rallied to win the last three sets for a reverse sweep at previously unbeaten No. 2 Louisville;
— Then, on ESPN, the top-ranked Badgers fell behind at previously unbeaten No. 3 Florida and also pulled off a reverse sweep before a record Florida home crowd;
— And then on the Big Ten Network, No. 4 Nebraska battled to a four-set win over No. 21 Kentucky.
— In the CAA, two of the five teams that are already 2-0 in conference play won in reverse sweeps.
Even ESPN put highlights from Stanford-Louisville and Wisconsin-Florida on SportsCenter.
A big week, indeed. And now, after the CAA and Patriot League have already gotten underway, the other conferences begin league play this week.
