1981 first year the NCAA Sponsored women’s Championships! That year there were 2 national championships: the AIAW (association for intercollegiate athletics for women) which up to that point was the sponsoring body for all women's sports: there was a big college and small college championship and the first time (1981) ncaa sponsored womens championships! Schools that year elected to play either AIAW or NCAA.: you had to elect at beginning of season! Many of the best schools (west coasst) went NCAA so Texas won a watered down AIAW Championships. And it was not a three game series: and there was a match for third and fourth! Thanks for the additional info. I was wondering how the teams chose or were chosen for the two different championships. Yes, I've read in the past that the NCAA bracket was considered to have most or all of the top teams and looking at the bracket appeared to validate that. What was the championship format? In the article on the Texas 1981 team on the Texassports website, they refer to it as a championship series and detail the match results of Texas and Portland State playing two matches in the "championship series" with Texas winning both. I made the assumption that it was a best of three series. Trying to recall what I read at that time, the AIAW/NCAA situation was a fairly controversial topic. What I recall is that a lot of the women who were leading the establishment of college women's sports wanted women's sports separate from the NCAA and wanted to continue the AIAW which is why there was a split championship in many women's sports that year. My recall also is that the ADs at most college didn't want that arrangement with two different athletic organizations and that's why the AIAW went away. The AIAW was not a final 4: because AIAW couldn’t fund travel , per diem etc etc the championships was pool play and double elimination bracket after pool play. So if Texas played Portland state twice probably was in double elimination bracket: and could have played three times if Portland came feom the Texas pool?! I don't have the pool play matches results. And i don't know if it was you or someone wlse who said UT was first team east of California to win : but thats incorrect: Sol Ross Univ. In texas was first non west coast team to win! |

In first years of ncaa sponsored championships all Divisions 1,2&3 the ncaa champions were west coast/hawaii schools. But the first school any division outside west coast wasn’t Texas, Texas was first Div. 1 school from outside the west ! And even if you go back and look aiaw 1971 -1981: mostly west coast and a couple years of Texas schools all divisions! Of course that early dominance , meaning even when a team other than a west coast school won championship, the runner up was a west coast school! Leading to early west coast bias about what part of country had best programs.

Leading to early west coast bias about what part of country had best programs. That is going WAY back. Most schools didn't even have varsity volleyball in the early 70s. Title IX was signed in 1972 but there was no enforcement guidance until 1975. |

While obviously not a very strong opponent, Kubik’s performance was encouraging. I don’t think she had a bad year, but given the great freshman year, the expectations for a great Soph season didn’t really play out.

Kubik's ball control has really stabilized though, which is a big asset for the Huskers. She has passed well on the season. If you can´t light em up offensively, contribute in other ways. |
