I'd have to go with the 2009 Penn State vs Texas NCAA Championship match. Even though, I was in the 5th grade then, I remember my sister and I jumping and screaming all over the place because of the intensity of the match. What do you think has been the best match in women's college volleyball so far?
Here's a link to the match:

For me it would be the 1996 Regional Final between Nebraska and Penn State. Most exciting sporting event I've ever seen in person.

My vote is 1997 Stanford-Penn State. Specifically game 4...that game was nuts. The crowd was fantastic and Terri Zemaitis single handily willed Penn State to victory in that game after trailing the entire way and fighting off 2 championship points. Great match between two incredible teams.
Other great games include 1998 Penn State/Long Beach, 2008 PSU/Nebraska, 2004 regional final of Ohio State vs Minnesota (Gordon had 44 kills). For regular season games, the USC-Stanford battles from 2002 were pretty epic and 1997 Wisconsin upsetting Penn State was pretty nuts.

There were a few BYU/Hawaii matches that were pretty epic. Miss the old WAC Conference.

Nebraska/Michigan State 2007, Nebraska/Penn State 2008, Nebraska/Washington 2008, Stanford/Texas 2008, Penn State/Texas 2009 are my top five. Lots of great volleyball in the second half of that decade.

Lots of great volleyball in the second half of that decade. I feel like '04 - '10 was a golden age. Many of the traditional powers had some of their all time great teams and players come through those respective programs. Plus, so many high level matches were played between great programs. |

Not the best of all time, but I really like the UCLA vs. Stanford 2007 Regional Final.

I don't know about all-time, but of those I've been to in person, 2012 Oregon at Washington was pretty amazing. 26-24, 16-25, 21-25, 32-30, 25-23 Huskies had to survive 14 match points against a team that ended up in the national finals.

Coming back from being down 2-0 is hard enough as it is, the fact that it was the championship match is even more impressive. |

One of my favorites that's fairly recent is USC-Stanford 2010. I seriously wish Fonoimoana would have stayed at USC. What a player.

The 1998 WAC Championship Match Hawaii vs. BYU believe its still the longest match in history.
