Nebraska beats Stanford in Women's Beach Volleyball

The Nebraska women's volleyball team won the NCAA championship over Stanford in Omaha, Neb., last December, and then win the Collegiate Nationals Championship in beach volleyball - over Stanford in San Diego.

Nebraska All-Americans Sarah Pavan and Jordan Larson fought off two match points by Stanford's Cynthia Barboza and Bryn Kehoe to win 2-1 and take the Collegiate Nationals Championship in beach volleyball at Crown Point.

“Everybody expects the California girls to win because they do have that experience and they can come out to the beach whenever they want,” Pavan said. “We have cornfields. We do not have the luxury of coming out and playing whenever we want."
