Texas A&M rallied past undefeated Nebraska 3-2 in the Lincoln Regional final, winning sets one and two 25-22 before the Huskers fought back to take set three 25-20 and a wild set four 37-35. The Aggies sealed it in the fifth 15-13, led by Stowers’ 25 kills and Lednicky’s 24 kills plus the match-ending block, hitting .275 with 30 blocks total. Nebraska’s Harper Murray had 25 kills, but the loss ended their perfect 33-0 season at home. Coach Jamie Morrison’s rebuilt squad now heads to Kansas City as underdogs facing Pittsburgh.
History made!

In a match for the ages, the Aggies (27-4) came out on top in a match that featured 34 ties–22 in a wild fourth set–to hand the Huskers (33-1) their first loss of the season and their first home postseason loss in over a decade.
