After a few years off, the Nebraska-Stanford volleyball rivalry heated back up in 2018 when the teams met in the national championship match.
Stanford won the match between two of the best programs in the sport by the smallest of margins, winning the fifth set 15-12. And there was a little more juice added to the rivalry after the match when the Stanford athletic department had to apologize after a photo from the Stanford locker room with an insensitive drawing directed toward the Huskers got out on social media.
The rivalry is guaranteed to continue, with Nebraska and Stanford scheduled to play during the regular season each of the next five years, Nebraska coach John Cook told the Journal Star.
