Nebraska is home to one of the nation's most storied collegiate women's volleyball programs. The Nebraska women's volleyball team has won three NCAA Women's Volleyball National Championships, in 1995, 2000, and 2006 and has had three NCAA National Runner-Up finishes in 1986, 1989, and 2005 as well as 5 other NCAA National Semifinal (Final Four) appearances in 1990, 1996, 1998, 2001, and 2008 bringing the program total to 11 NCAA Final Four appearances. Nebraska also is one of only three programs east of the west coast to have won a NCAA Women's Volleyball National Championship. The Husker Volleyball program started in 1975. Nebraska is the most winning program since 2000 when John Cook became head coach. Since 1988, Nebraska has been in the top 16 every year in the final CBS College Sports/AVCA National Poll and been in the top 5 sixteen of those years. They are one of only two programs in the country to be ranked in every AVCA poll since its inception in 1982. The Huskers have had more combined AVCA 1st and 2nd team All-Americans than any other program with 69, and has produced 4 AVCA National Player of the Year award winners. Nebraska volleyball is a very popular spectator sport in the state. In 2008, AVCA Kathy DeBoer described Nebraska as "the epicenter of volleyball fandom". The four largest ever NCAA volleyball crowds, and seven of the top ten largest NCAA volleyball crowds, were in the state of Nebraska, including the largest ever crowd of 17,430 in the 2008 NCAA National Semifinals and the second most all time (17,209) for the 2006 National Championship match between Nebraska and Stanford. ==Home court advantage== The Nebraska Coliseum is one of the few collegiate arenas that is designed specifically for volleyball. It is noted for its classical architecture, intimate setting with fans close to the floor, perpetually sold-out crowds, and deafening acoustics. At the Coliseum, the Huskers are the current holders of the NCAA record for the most consecutive sellouts in a women's sport. The Nebraska Coliseum has statistically proven to be one of the most difficult venues for visiting teams to win at in all of sports, has anecdotally been described as 'the arena that the volleyball gods would build', and has drawn comparisons to Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium due to its design, acoustics, and intimate atmosphere. It has also been the subject of a CBS Sports documentary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Nebraska Coliseum )〕 The 4,030-seat Nebraska Coliseum has provided the Nebraska volleyball program with an unmatched home-court advantage. Nebraska has had 17 undefeated seasons at home compiling an all-time record of 481-31 () under its roof. Only three times in 33 years of regular-season Big 8/Big 12 play has a conference opponent ever won in Lincoln. In 1991, the Huskers played their games at the Bob Devaney Sports Center while the building was being renovated and tailored specifically for volleyball. The Huskers have hosted an NCAA Tournament match every season since 1984 compiling a 52-4 playoff record in the building. Nebraska fans have been rewarded by seeing eight of the Huskers’ 11 NCAA regional championships won on their home court. The all-time home record over the 34 years is 511-36. The Huskers established an NCAA record with their 88th consecutive home win against Creighton University in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Huskers Sweep Creighton; Set NCAA Mark )〕 The streak ended soon after at win number 90 when Eighth-ranked UCLA stunned an NCAA regular season record crowd of 13,870.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Huskers Fall in Front of NCAA Record Crowd )〕 The record was later passed by now Big Ten rival Penn State in 2010.〔http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=13&SPID=23&DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=204793474〕 In 2013, the Husker volleyball program moved into a renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center. The former basketball arena was transformed into a volleyball venue with seating for 7,907 and suites on one side of the court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Volleyball Facilities - Bob Devaney Sports Center )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nebraska Cornhuskers women's volleyball」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
