Just special. That’s the tweet!
"I just don't have any words for this."
@clairechaussee9 is overcome with emotions after the match as she and @danib18 speak with @Katie_George05 after defeating Pitt in five sets.

This made my day! We have a ticket for you if you want to watch in person!
The @NCAAVolleyball National Championship on Sunday will make history, as both teams are coached by women for the first time ever.
The game will also make history because a woman will win as head coach for the first time since the NCAA tournament began in 1981.
Good luck to @LouisvilleVB's Dani Busboom Kelly (@danib18) and @PennStateVBALL's Katie Schumacher-Cawley (@CoachKatiePSU), and their teams! 🏐

I watch women’s bball captivate a fan base year after year and this year I saw firsthand how fast vball can do the same. Only 19% of our tournament was televised in 2021. Vball is ready to burst and we need more room to showcase our sport and the amazing athletes that play it!

Historic day for women’s volleyball…Card Nation, just a reminder we play UK on Sept 13 in the YUM Center and can set a record of our own!
Originally planned as a way to set a volleyball attendance record, Nebraska's plan to host game in football stadium could set women's sports record. usatoday.com/story/sports/co…

I have no words. The Drury sisters mean so much to the Louisville volleyball community. Card fam, we need your prayers for all the families affected by this tragic accident.
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Cardinal Forever Lesley Drury Prather (98-01) and her daughter, Rhyan.
Our thoughts are with all of those affected by the fatal crash.

Great teams and programs this past weekend in Louisville! Women supporting women always wins!
An honor to coach against these amazing women this weekend. They are talented coaches, but are building women off the court just as much as they are building them on the court. Thankful to call them friends and colleagues @danib18 @gennyvolpe @UNIVolleyball

I’d also like to reiterate we play Pitt, who is currently sitting 1st in the ACC…and our own record of almost 13,000 fans was set in Sept vs Kentucky on a Wednesday! I know we can beat that…however, I want the whole …. thing!

Just love this.
Mikaela Foecke is known for her outstanding play on the volleyball court and teammates rave about the type of person she is.
Here's a small sample of her saying "thanks" every time a "ball shagger" gives her the ball before a serve. #Huskers

Made me tear up. Any good coach knows you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. ❤️
Hands down best head coach in the game right now. Read the article, we celebrated our first conference back2back wins in 2017 the same way we celebrated the win at the final four this year. “If you are too big for the small moments you’ll be too small for the big ones”.

We've seen disparities in our championship before, but this is a low. @NCAAVolleyball is missing an opp. to help grow the game and give our athletes what they deserve after a challenging year. Decent facilities and media coverage seem like fair asks...still time for adjustments!
