COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) –  Madi Kubik had 13 kills, three aces and two blocks, Lauren Stivrins had nine kills and six blocks – the last of which came on match points – and Nebraska rallied to beat No. 3 seed Pittsburgh 16-25, 25-17, 25-20, 25-22 in the semifinals of the NCAA volleyball tournament. No. 10 seed Nebraska (26-7) – 40th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, second nationally to Penn State (41) – plays Wisconsin in Saturday’s championship game. The fourth-seeded Badgers won both regular-season matchups between the teams, losing just one set. Leketor Member-Meneh led the Panthers with 13 kills but had seven errors and hit just .150. Serena Gray added 11 kills. Nebraska, which advanced to its 10th title game, is 13-0 all-time against Pitt – 4-0 in the NCAA tournament.
