That sure seems odd. However looking at the NCAA bracket and reading the story on the Texas 81 season, I saw no mention of a Big Eight team. Wonder how many were playing volleyball by then. If I read the story right, Texas was only in its second season playing VB. Couple of unique notes. Texas' record in 1981 was 60-6-1. Appears they played mostly tournaments then (I guess no limits on matches played) and how do you get a tie? To add to the tournament note, it appears the Southwest Conference only played a tournament for the championship with no regular conference season. The other note is that the AIAW championship was not a single match, but a best of three series. But in summary, I come up blank also on why Nebraska didn't play past its conference season. 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 post-match presser with Cook is going to be a little later after the match than usual. The team is going to go back to the hotel and do it there.

And...as I predicted Sun gets a block on Fitzgerald and then Fitzgerald follows that by getting a kill. That blocking matchup will be key.
