Penn State vs. Nebraska - 2008 NCAA Women's Volleyball National Semifinals

[star67platinumdancer]

So many awesome plays. One of the best is the return by the Huskers at 4:55 even if they didn't win the point as he mentioned. Great game.

[lupper08]

Even though Nebraska didnt win that was the most intense ive ever seen a team play. More volleyball should be on ESPN...

[martinabunky]

This is such an inspiration to me. I love watching professionals play volleyball, it is much more interesting. When I grow up i want to be just like them! But better...

[martinabunky]

amazing....

[bethygan]

this is one of the best matches i have ever seen

[TheSmartgirl8]

It's hard to believe that Penn State won seeing how they were playing in the beginning, from the start i thought Nebraska would surely win, but Oh Well...

[TheSmartgirl8]

WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!

Nebraska SURE is AMAZING!!! I've never watched any of their games until now :)

[TheSmartgirl8]

Oh my Goodness!! My favorite part was the part where the score read 20-9 and how Penn State started doing much better right after that!

[biancananca]

1:01 tattooed it

[blondepeace244]

@spaik113 ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[bigspoon87]

BTW Has anybody considered the implications of these two teams in the same conference? Epic.

[bigspoon87]

In team fight, Nebraska would kick their asses, so much more athletic. Really hope the Huskers get back on top this year.

[astrofrk]

NOW I see why they locked these two teams in, forget the football! Check out the teams histories. With playing each other every year, they will ALL be mean bitches now!

[CrazyKewlx3]

@asdf27014 Lol actually one of the commentators was Karch Kiraly. AKA BEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAYYYY THE SPORT!

[toddstohs]

I was at this game. The excitement and noise in the arena after Nebraska won game 4 ranked right up there with the Eric Crouch catch in 2001 at Memorial Stadium. Everyone was just ballistic! I'm almost scared to think what would've happened had we won the match!

[soccerstud32095]

i like when she says "LARSON!" at 5:06

[fordc00]

4:34 to 5:13 = AMAZING RALLY!!!!!!! (Even though Penn State won the point..haha)

Go Nebraska!!

[ScareletAoi]

i always knew that penn state volleyball playyers are just speachless but nebraska was doing sooooooooooooooooo well.this is such a great game.

[kelly1995]

2:30 - 3:02 :)

[kzlibero24]

I asked my friend jogging up the steps to practice upstairs and I asked him "you ever seen the Ncaa girls ? there 10x better than us. He goes "10x? lol um more like 100x".

[kzlibero24]

They are legends. Megan Hodge, Fawcett (amazing), glass, Blair Brown, Larson, the top 10 girls in the country

[andrew19126]

playing volleyball(for a school season, league season, etc) you will lose some weight-sometimes ALOT of weight and growing taller is possible. i lost weight-30 lbs. playing this sport and gained so much muscle

[TheLeilisa]

will i grow taller if i play VOLLEYBALL regularly ?

[Nittany2012]

4-peat baby! Lets go State. Love you ladies

[perfectstorm101]

I will be on that team some day

[MrUndergroundHH]

this and 2009 penn state vs texas are literally the best games of all time.

[CrazyKewlx3]

@MrUndergroundHH I uploaded the entire penn state vs texas game on my channel. Just in case you wanted to watch it haha.

[cauthoncrazy]

One of my favorite matches of volleyball ever!!

[vballchick1211]

the best match ever!!!! go huskers!!!!

[CrazyKewlx3]

Megan hodge <3

[thatmiddleblocker]

amaaaaaaaaaaazing hustle starting at around 4:52 LOVE IT!!! i wish nebraska could have pulled this off i remember watching this on tv with my family and we were going absolutely crazy

[kzlibero24]

(34) DAMNN SON. NASIEST OUTSIDE EVER SEEN. Was that Jordan Larson?

[123123tvv]

@kzlibero24 yes it was

[soccerdude57]

@123123tvv

actually it was tara mueller. she was awesome in that game!

[123123tvv]

@soccerdude57 jordan larson is awesome

[kzlibero24]

@123123tvv

Girls like them are rare who can play like that I'm so jealous :/.

[carriefan1392]

was anyone else laughing @ 2:24? XD!!!!

[eazybreezyxoxo]

@carriefan1392 lol i would never pass it to her again

[athletevball]

@eazybreezyxoxo although when they did pass it back to nicole, she got the kill...so i think it was a smart thing to say that....

[athletevball]

@carriefan1392  and how is that funny??

[spashley10210]

@carriefan1392 no. just you

[hi808ih]

effin best volleyball match ever.

[huskydog5031]

There is no doubt that Nebraska played their hearts out this match. Absolutely amazing.

[sshelget]

I'm a Husker fan and although this was a heartbreaker, I was so incredibly proud of our team. BOTH teams played incredible and I don't think I've ever seen a more fierce competition. To all volleyball players everywhere: hopefully your school and state will go bonkers over volleyball as we do! :)

[Robertghty]

Now this is volleyball!!! What an awesome crowd.

[vballs2hot4u]

@JaceyOohLaLa and those 6 seconds take sooooo much out of you!! between the movement left right front back and talking and jumping and diving and getting up. Its no joke!

[eazybreezyxoxo]

omg i LOVE watching volleyball now! 4:35+ AMAZING. 

[carriefan1392]

thumbs up for Nebraska to win their last year in the Big 12!!!!!!!!!!

[mpalin14]

Even though Penn state won you have to give Nebraska credit for really scaring them. Those were the only two sets that team lost that year.

[CrazyKewlx3]

i freakin love the way hodge attacks <333

[spashley10210]

how pretty was that set at 5:27. good lord

[oandrea17]

OMG, so intense although i go for Penn State this is such an amazing game to watch! Although their losing some amazing girls i can not wait for this year season! amazing liberos<3 im a libero so i should know :)

[athletevball]

Nicole Fawcett and Megan Hodge Had great kills in the match. I love these Penn State girls. Nebraska has now become one of my favorite teams to watch :) I have videos of nicole fawcett and will be getting more up or other players :D

[jacquelinemedina25]

WOW!!!! intense game. 4:55-5:00 was amazing! does anyone know the name of the girls that made those incredible saves???

[markyz99]

@jacquelinemedina25 I think it was Kayla Banworth.

[rickywebb28]

@jacquelinemedina25 Kayla Banwarth, Tara Mueller, & Lindsey Licht =)

[jacquelinemedina25]

@rickywebb28 thanks a lot!

[ganstahung]

haha during the big rallies, the nebraska coach is lik standing and going crazy, meanwhile the pennstate coach is just sitting there chillin ahah lol

[dhopegirlz]

i want to play volleyball in college and ive played volleyball in highschool..do you think i will have a good chance of playing in college if i never played club? can somebody inbox me and tell me what you think ?

[ADRIIAANN1]

this video Is really great:D

[Adidaswim1]

The fact that Nebraska almost beat Penn St. just shows a) how far team chemistry can take you and b) how much of an impact player jordan larson is.

[BrightBrittany]

4:55-4:59 Nice save!

[220guy]

There was something so special about that team! They played so free and loose the whole year-probably the greatest team chemistry Nebraska volleyball has ever had! They were so much fun to watch!

[markyz99]

@220guy

I couldn't agree with you more. The chemistry was 100 times better than it was the year before.

[kelly1995]

wow, if only we would have won that!!

[jl33333333t]

2:13, the first of three amazing straight points for nebraska. too bad they lost, would've been an epic come back had they won

[carriefan1392]

lol 2:24 -Huskers a little too much?

[immahottie1229]

one of the players on penn st8 is my sister l0l it AWESOME

[volleyballfanatic1]

amazing game. both teams (penn state and nebraska) had amazing seasons. no one expected nebraska to be in the final-four after losing 4 all-americans, including the '05 and '06 AVCA national players of the year in Christina Houghtelling and Sarah Pavan. they didn't have a good team on paper w/ only one all-american in jordan larson, and returning just 3 starters, but their chemistry was tremendous. penn state had a great season losing only 2 sets the whole season. AMAZING

[Rayshorts11]

that was an amazing play at 4:55 :D

[TYOrder1]

What an effort by Nebraska. Gotta love what they did with the talent they had. Larson was huge in this match!

[cauthoncrazy]

Love these two teams!! (Nebraska more probably)

[dcc4933]

cant believe this incredible match was a year ago ..

[edmuzicman]

0:31 is probably the best kill mueller has ever had, anyone else catch that?

[Melfice1988]

agree men

[cupstacker4ever]

this sooooooooo shouldve been the championship!!

[noeveras1999]

@cupstacker4ever i know right lol 4 in arrow snap their beast

[spaik113]

Volleyball is such an underrated sport. You can't deny just how exciting it can be!!

[HBoyzFan]

two of the best teams in women's college volleyball

[nevadawolfpackfan]

I remember watching that match....i had goose bumps then and i have goose bumps now!! GREAT match!!

[Melfice1988]

NICE GAME!! DAMN!!

[reupenaaa]

it made me mad that stanford met up for the finals

[reupenaaa]

that solo block at 2:56 was AWESOME!!!

[norcaljorge]

indeed it was an awesome block...but the kill at 101 was sick!!!

[HoodChicka03]

Baby girl straight hustled for that ball!!

[TNSPL07]

Ive watched this about 50 times. Huge Husker fan...heartbreaker to lose...but so proud of the way they fought. This years team seems to be getting hot at the right time. GBR!

[TheMusiclover008]

i have watched this game more than 15 times. i always come back to it when on you tube i love it so much. What a great great game!!

[polycrew]

hahaha!! so funny at 1:49!! if u see the libero from nebraska kick the ball, it hits hodge in the head on the other side of the net!!

[norcaljorge]

lol

[kungfurabbits]

I was in the Penn State band for this. It was the most unbelievable game I'd ever seen. Especially the rally at 4:34.

Being in Nebraska, when they won the 3rd and 4th set, I'd never heard a crowd be as loud as that one. I really feared we would lose.

Hopefully I'll be back in Tampa this December and I hope Nebraska is there too.

[reupenaaa]

yah this was the best game i've ever seen as well :)

[danielletjbze]

2:33- 2:38 was amazingggg, I thoughhtt.

That was one of the most exciting games I have ever seen!

[lamehelpline]

uh uh 2:57...that solo block deserves bragging rights!! amazing!

[reupenaaa]

yah that block was brutal! ha

[taylorlovesyou826]

well get them this year just wait till we shove it in theyre face Go HUSKERS

[onamonaa]

[bowlinstud101]

blair brown at 1:01 was sickkkkkk

[thaisteak]

[norcaljorge]

[zustrian]

FANTASTIC match!

[yesitsmedan]
