I do have more optimism about next year. The early sets give them something to build on.

Oh well. I guess all that's left is a poll as to who we want to win it all after today's matches. They played three great sets. Damn Well at least 2.9 great sets! |

Nebraska is a very, very good team (much as it galls me to say that). If they win a 2nd consecutive NC, I'll say they are a great team. But I'm among those rooting for Minnesota. And, I agree, this could be a much better team in 2017. Don't underestimate the impact of a year of growth and maturity. Plus, Cami May. I'm optimistic for next season. |

I would have loved to see the Rolfzens' collegiate careers end with a loss to Penn State. I won't miss seeing those stankfaces next year.

I am now a Gopher fan for the rest of the tournament. I was just thinking the same exact thing. |

She was everywhere. She was definitely the difference in the match for the Huskers. Saved sooo many points for NU. |

If someone would've told me before the match that we'd take the Huskers to 5 sets, I would've been ecstatic.
We got swept both times we played them at home (this year and last year).
That's why I was being very realistic with my expectations.
The fact that we came within 1 swing of sweeping Nebraska, is just icing for me.
We don't lose any of our starters next year. I like how PSU is looking heading into the 2017 season.

Ugh...I'm gonna be sick. Did we really just squander 2 sweep match points?! Wasn't able to play during the game, but at least I got to watch. I don't think PSU believed they could win. I think they scared themselves with how close they were. |
