Texas A&M volleyball enjoyed a great season and now will be one of the higher-seeded teams in the NCAA Tournament.
But it may not be good fortune, exactly.
The Aggies earned a No. 3 seed Sunday. They now land in a bracket with top-seeded Nebraska, the five-time national champion and the only undefeated team left.
Nebraska volleyball (30-0, 20-0) wrapped up its undefeated regular season with a win over Ohio State (6-22, 3-17) in straight sets (25-16, 25-13, 25-20). The Huskers are the first team to go undefeated in the Big Ten since Penn State in 2009. Dani Busboom Kelly, a Nebraska graduate, took over the program for longtime coach John Cook.
Texas A&M made a run to the Sweet Sixteen last season.
The Aggies will face the Campbell Camels in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Since the Aggies are a top-four seed in their part of the bracket Reed Arena will be home to the first and second round of the tournament. A&M will travel for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight.
If Texas A&M beats Campbell, they will play the winner of Stephen F. Austin and TCU. The sixth seeded Horned Frogs played the Aggies in September and beat A&M in five sets.
