What a comeback from BIG RED! Pitt played flawlessly on the 1st. Huskers adjusted and adapted to their fast offense, served tough, played good defense and took control of the match after the 1st.
GBR! ❤
These veteran teams shows the new ones how’s it done within pressure. Nebraska is such an underdog this year. Tbh, didn’t expect Nebraska to make it this far. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I like how both finals teams have several freshmen next to the super-seniors. lexi rodriguez, ally batenhorst, lindsay krause; anna smrek, julia orzol. all playing significant roles for their teams
I don’t care for Nebraska but they really did impress me today!
@@XxXStoneFingerXxX u know, reminds me of Stanford when Inky Ajanaku was the lone senior and the starters were freshmen’s, like Catherine Plummer.
Wow, I thought all were great but I thought Lauren Stivrins was the key to this match. Experience, confidence, teammates fed off her, and she made the big plays.
Actually it was Maddie kubick who really stood out this game
BRAVO NEBRASKA BABES AND COACH JOHN COOK! I AM TELLING YOUR AMAZING INCREDIBLE JOURNEY AND STORY TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN TO ME IN CAPE TOWN! LOVE FROM OUT OF AFRICA
Used to live in Lincoln and I got to meet Coach Cook and his daughter after he visited the restaurant my father worked at. He even got to personally cater some food for him! Mr. Cook was so kind and he even offered tickets to a game at one point. We could never take him up but since then I’m forever grateful for what he’s done and continues doing with the Nebraska Volleyball Program. Wish him all the luck on Saturday, GBR❤️🌽
What a wonderful story to tell!
Congrats to both teams for giving it all their best. GBR!
What an honor to be able to see these outstanding young ladies finish their careers in a national title match! To all that wont be back, its been an honor and a privlage to watch!!! I love you all!!! GBR!!!
I am so happy for the ladies of Husker volleyball. I knew you could do it. Never had a doubt. Enjoy!
Y’all are so much better this year with the media coverage fr
Nebraska did it again, WON !
remember how people was wondering why cook had 3 DS's in the back row. thats why
Exactly!
Right on!
TRUTH!!!!
The Legion of Boom, or as the players call them the Midgets. 😀
but dont for get knockles could hit also
Ngl I wanted a team who didn't win a championship to win but this Nebraska team is so skilled, I love to see it! It's gonna be a great match!
FYI Wisconsin has never won a championship
@@raphsherman2209 Lol I know. I was initially rooting for the 3 teams that haven't won one yet. But as a Hawaii native, it's exciting to see Akana playing so well for Nebraska.
@@calebenos808 I hope for a 5 setter! 🤞🏽
Lund post game says Nebraska's Defense didn't affect them? Huh?
Other than the in system quicks they got off clean, nearly every ball they swung at was touched at the net or in the back. Nebraska's Defense neutralized them and the stats show it with all the swings with no points. That is a seriously tacky answer.
Pitt is amazingly fast in system. I was in awe of how fast they were when in system. NE took them out of system.
well what really turned it around for nebraska was their passing. lexi knuckles and akana all stepped up in those last three steps and gave their husker team more opportunities. pitt interestingly had 56 digs compared to 50 by nebraska but i agree nebraska was just more efficient and pitt hit some balls out, but also our blocking particularly in the last set really stepped up. she’s kinda right in the sense that it was more than just their defense that won them this match.
The Pitt players absolutely refused to give any credit for good play on Nebraska's side. Not saying we were just amazing with everything, but they should have acknowledged how Nebraska fought back after a tough first set loss when Pitt played out of their minds good vball. Not impressed with their response.
@@kirstydunbar6005 watch their press conference pregame, they were exactly like that. refused to speak or acknowledge nebraska’s strengths.
Jeeze loouise, every match there seems to be some drama....it seems like a pattern. Nebraska is playing their best volleyball right now; focus don't that and not what one player who's in a bad mood says after losing a semifinal.
Good teams won’t admit defeat. Great teams will!
One more match Nebraska is playing Great volleyball and I'm positive Nebraska will WIN the National title.
i really hope wisconsin wins, they're both amazing teams:(
I believe Nebraska will get it Done !
Winning a league title is important now Winning a National title is very important and Nebraska has improved alot and making a run as I what and has to the National match final now WIN the National title.
Not a chance. I hope Wisconsin wins. We want legit college kids playing.
@@auraballoon what the heck do you mean by that?
Sorry but the perennial powers of volleyball always comes out on top in the Final Four. Right on Nebraska!!!
I pray and hope Nebraska WINS !
Now on to wisconsin, third times a charm!
Wisc has some height
I’m wanting to see them win their first now!
I want Nebraska to WIN !
Seems like that facial to Knuckles really got them fired up! Congrats to Nebraska! I don’t care for them but they really did impress today! With this crazy Pandemic and crazy weather I wish good health and good luck to all!
Well done, BlackShorts! GO BIG RED!
Not sure why Nebraska is always ranked so low when they have been an elite team under cook since his tenure of coaching success and people still act surprised they make it far yearly. Both Wisconsin and Nebraska have amazing freshman play. Good luck to both teams.
Did you watch the whole season? They are definitely peaking but they didn't earn a higher ranking over other teams....ranking isn't about how you are playing now, its how you've played the entire season. Their ranking is correct.
Look at their record. We’re the losses against ranked opponents at the time? We’re their wins against ranked and strong teams? They played a tough season but they had some losses against teams that they were expected to win.
They started poorly having lots of team members and a whole lot of freshmen. It took them a while to figure things out and gel together and I was one of those guys who was frustrated with how they play but they were able to come around. Kudos to the coaching staff. In fact, I even thought the setter was to blame. Btw, Louisville swept them in their own home court a couple of months back and that was really bad but now they're in the finals.
I'm proud of the Nebraska women volleyball team 3 more points you are National Champions.
The two teams I wanted to see in the title match! Wooohooo
Nebraska you are a Great team
Nebraska will be back and WIN the National title next year, season and so on
I hope so. Next year they lose team captain and setter Lauren Stivrens. The reps will have some mighty big shoes to fill. Not to mention every other team like Texas and Pitt will seek revenge.
LS thank you and all the seniors and all the team.
Which Nebraska team is this?????.... OMG....!!!!!
GBR.....😍😍😍😍
Nebraska is No. 1 in sports history !
Go big red👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nebraska will be back stronger with freshmen and new recruits and will WIN and beat Wisconsin, Texas and Pittsburgh and more teams. Of course, will miss LS,L.Sun and more players. More players will and with the best coach in volleyball JC will WIN more league, National titles in the future.
AWESOME
Nebraska is so strong
You trying to set up excuse in case you don't win, your crying already. GBR Nebraska is strong I'm a fan for life.
Interesting strategy to chose to target the newly crowned best libero in the country with serves....like what is the rationale? LOL
The way nebraska dismantled their last two opponents with tough serving is scary! They key to Wisconsin's offense for me is their three middles; If Nebraska can neaturalize their middles by serving tough then they might finally beat wisconsin.
Haha I agree
Wrong choice
Love NU Volleyball! I gotta say though, Wisconsin is tough!!! It should be a great game!
Go Big Red! At least we have something to cheer about this year
When a fan from another team wants their is ok by t, fan or fans don't make sandal about Nebraska because, I will defend Nebraska.
Lets go!!!!!
Kuddos... to ACC Conference! Maybe in the future ACC Volleyball team will win a championship, so hang in there ACC conference it will come. "Patients is the keys."👌👈 Oh ..by the way Pitt Panthers and Louisville Cardinals did good getting this far it not end of the world, you never know what future might hold for you ladies.🏐
GOOOOO BIG REEDDDDD
GBR!!!
I wish there's no caption of the outcome that spoils the suspense of watching without it, in the video's description.
I think positive and study my team in sports.
GBR❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GO BIG RED!!!
Pitt kept serving Lexi. What did they think was gonna happen?
She started of a little rough, in the first set especially, so it’s possible they were trying to play to that. But she found her groove by the time the 2nd set rolled around.
I was literally so puzzled by that...she's literally one of the few liberos to be named on the 1st team LOL
I'm not the coach, but I think the idea was that if you break Lexi then Nebraska would crumble. Not unlike how Neb broke Iosia from Texas. Given that she is a freshman carrying a huge role it wasn't a terrible plan. If it had worked (and it looked like it was in the 1st set) then it would have been a great choice.
Nebraska has 2 sometimes 3 liberos in the back court. A lot of people forget that, Kenzie Knuckles is a hybrid and Keonilei Akana is a DS but plays like a 3rd libero.
are they gonna post the replay?
48 hrs after the game
That sucks. Didn’t they use to do let people post a few hours after the match
@@TheGleeVids but why did they post the full fifth set wisonsin game but not neb vs pitts
Nebraska is a clean, legal school in the nation, U.S.A. Be Good to Nebraska and it's fans and I'm a fan, too Be Good to the Nebraska women volleyball team.They are,play and WIN clean !
Huh? WTF?!
@Brynn Kohler
I’m also confused…
wtf haha
Put down the pipe sir.
Way to go Nebraska Lady Cornhuskers & way to defeat the Pitt Lady Panthers in 3 sets to 1 & good luck against the Wisconsin Lady Badgers in the 2021 NCAA Women's Volleyball National Championship!
Just wondering why the play when Kenzie got hit in the face is in the highlight reel
what was the reason for pitt benching their libero towards the middle and end part of the game?
Please post full game! Not three days later
IKR
0:51 Is Kenzie Knuckles okay? 😶😬
Yep, saw the whole game. The girl has a titanium face, did not even show watery eyes or bruising. She shook it off as it was nothing. I guess getting hit in the face was also part of their practice.
@@TigerKittay I’m really glad she’s okay. :) She’s one of the best liberos/DS’s Nebraska has! 🤍
@@TigerKittay Also, do you mean you saw the full game in-person, because I was trying to find the game on UA-cam (I’m aware it wasn’t fully shown because of the copyright), but I couldn’t see the game any other way? Or did you watch it through a different platform?
GBR !! we will win championship 🙏🏼
You know The Big conference is the best conference if you have to play a fellow conference member for the National championship. The torch will pass this year for the Big’s dominance because Rettke et. al. will graduate. The type of play will also change from a team known for it’s offense to a team known for it’s defense.
Way to go ladies!!! GBR!!
GBR GBR GBR
GBR
You are not fans Im a fan of Nebraska they are a Great team.
When dose the final match start ? European time ?
Starts at 1:30 am CET
GO NEBRSKA
You know the Big Conference is the best conference when you must play a fellow conference member for the national championship. The number ten seeding does not mean a thing. The moral to the story is never bet against John Cook in the post season. GBR.
Stivrins is a assasin!!!
no full game for nab vs pit?.. i missed the 1st and 2nd set lol
it should be uploaded tonight!
GBR!
0:51 She wanted to be Scott Sterling
GBRR
ACC and Big 12 were both given preference and undue ranking bias this season for sure.
Where is Lexi Sun?
She played a few games in the early rounds to fill in Batenhorst's spot but her performance was nowhere near the level she was years ago. So John Cook took her off the starting lineup and instead went with his freshmen. Looking back I think this was a VERY wise decision on his part.
@@jonjonjrfrmcali She played great later this season when she started several matches. Cook likely prefers Batenhorst's superior hitting firepower though.
Lexi Sun is a very good player but Batenhorst is younger and taller. Ally has also been playing better but Lexi can always sub in the wings if needed, she in fact did that a few times in the past few games and her performance did not disappoint.
LETSS GOOOOOOOOO
Post the whole thing 😡
Lexi sun injured or benched?
Benched
@@marquiezjennings9134 yikes I remembered her being a beast in highschool
@@jlin2230 she is one of the super seniors that was underperforming this season. She is a great player so don’t take her being on bench to seriously. She is in Big 10 Conference
Battenhorst didn’t contribute a lot to this match - who’s in instead of sun.
@ MsDebs73
She made a few crucial errors, but overall still put several points on the board and played pretty well. She just wasn’t going off as much as in the Texas match.
You are jealous of Nebraska history and now.
SHAME ON YOU FOR HAVING THE GAMES ON SO LATE. MY DAUGHTERS WERE DEVASTATED THEY COULDN"T STAY UP!
so let them stay up tf, that’s a personal choice
Wisconsin is about to sweep on Saturday
No I think it will go 5 Nebraska is playing to good to be swept I think it will be a war
These are both very good teams and the statistics are almost identical but Nebraska has won 5 and Wisconsin has yet to win their first. Very tough to predict who would win. I thought Louisville would go all they way and they looked like they could've but they lost to Wisconsin in 5.
GBR❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GBR!!!
GBR!
