Kayla's Website Post

Hi, my name is Kayla Walters. Last summer i went to the Nebraska Huskers Volleyball Camp. The Huskers are a very good team and have gone far. They've been the NCAA champions twice before, once in 1995 and one in 2000. They are in the tournament again and are hoping for the best.

Lincoln -- Nebraska Volleyball John Cook and the other three coaches in this weekend's NCAA First and Second Round matches met with the Nebraska media on Tuesday to discuss this weekend's action.

American Head Coach Barry Goldberg
On being sent to Lincoln, Neb. for the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row
"It was complete silence when we were put up on the screen, and there might have been 150 to 200 people in a cozy room in our University watching. It was silence, and kind of shocking to be quite honest with you. We felt as though we were kind of placed in a way that was similar to just what happened last year, and we noticed that it was a pattern that went around the country. For us, we kind of felt like we were disrespected in a way, because for us, we felt like we had a really good season, and we're a different team (than last year). This will be the eighth year were in the tournament, and all the kids have on their lockers that they want to get through the first round, and get to the second round, and here they go and put us against the top team in the country to start the NCAA Tournament, which is kind of disheartening. Although we're excited to play, and we feel very confident about the way we've been playing as a team. So we're looking forward to playing for sure."
