WHAT HAPPENED
Illinois looked unstoppable in the first two sets as Jacqueline Quade demolished Nebraska. But the Cornhuskers refused to yield and ultimately stunned the Illini in five.
WHAT IT MEANS
Chris Tamas' and his program don't get a chance at the Illini's first-ever national championship, nor an opportunity at revenge against ex-UI coach Kevin Hambly and Stanford.
WHAT'S NEXT
Seniors Jordyn Poulter, Ali Bastianelli and Blayke Hranicka go out as part of one of the best teams in Illini history, but fall short of their ultimate goal.
