Sprint Center was the host of the NCAA Division I Volleyball championships for the second time. Nebraska didn't make it to K.C. in 2010 when the championship was first held at Sprint Center.

It was a Big Red weekend in Kansas City as thousands of Nebraska women’s volleyball fans flocked to Sprint Center to watch the Huskers win the NCAA championship.

The Huskers captured their fifth national title in program history, but their path toward this title is unprecedented as Greg Echlin explains for Omaha Public Radio.
