The stretch run is here of the college volleyball season, and conference titles, postseason résumés and tournament spots are starting to come into focus.

Nebraska swept No. 12 Oregon and No. 18 Washington in less than 24 hours to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title. Penn State went into Madison and beat Wisconsin in five, Vanderbilt picked up back-to-back ranked wins over Texas A&M and Texas, Missouri swept the Aggies, and Pitt handed North Carolina a second straight sweep on a difficult ACC road weekend. And yes, we are a Cornell volleyball podcast now: the Big Red clinched their first Ivy League title since 2006.

Kirsten Bernthal Booth joins the show to talk about her move from 22 years at Creighton into her new role with LOVB Nebraska, what she’s learning on the professional side of the sport and what she sees ahead.

This week, hosts Amie Just and Erin Sorensen are looking at the stories behind the results and a few things that have nothing to do with the final score.

Cornell made history by hosting the first nationally televised women’s sporting event in school history, then backed it up with a four-set win over Princeton that mattered in the Ivy League standings. We also get into Missouri’s five-set win over Tennessee, Texas sweeping Texas A&M for the first time since 2019, Michigan knocking off Indiana and Nebraska settling in after dropping the opening set against both Michigan and Michigan State.

We also revisit Montana and Utah Tech’s dance-off after the comments quickly filled with people insisting men’s teams would never do something like that. We came prepared with examples.

And then, three-time Olympic medalist Kelsey Robinson Cook joins us to talk about her career, the professional game, LOVB and her new role with the San Francisco Signal. The timing is perfect, because we’re headed to Los Angeles for LOVB Media Days this weekend and will have plenty more coming from there.
