So we will play Penn State in the national semis. If we get past them we would probably play Texas in the finals, who will be favored against whoever wins the other regional final (BYU vs. Nebraska--both surprise winners.)
We have beaten Penn State early in the season, although it was a difficult 5 set match and the announcers at the time pointed out that Penn State was very young and could be expected to improve dramatically over the course of the season. This will be a very difficult match. Last year, of course, Penn State knocked us out of the tournament in the regional finals and went on to win it all, but they lost several experienced seniors.
We played exceptionally well tonight, though. Women's volleyball could be our best shot this year at continuing the national championship streak.
