There is some great volleyball being played in this state. UNK is ranked in the NCAA Div 2 top 5 and both Midland and Hastings are in the top 3 of NAIA. Lots of home grown talent having great seasons.

That means we've gotten 86% of all possible #1 votes thus far this year.Nebraska volleyball maintained its unanimous hold on the top spot in the AVCA poll this week. That wasn't a surprise, but it's still remarkable when you stop and look at it. It has been four weeks since anyone has voted a team other than Nebraska No. 1 and the Huskers have earned all of the first place in nine of the thirteen polls this season. Including the preseason poll, that's 715 out of a possible 832 votes.
