After falling in the national championship match, Nebraska volleyball ends the season at No. 2 in the final AVCA poll, while Creighton was ranked No. 15.

Rounding out the top five are: No. 3 Wisconsin, No. 4 Pittsburgh and No. 5 Stanford.

NU ended the season 33-2, were the Big Ten champions and had four players selected as All-Americans. John Cook was named the AVCA Coach of the Year.
