The NCAA established a women's volleyball championship in 1981, taking over from the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which had governed the sport since 1970. This transition marked a significant shift in women's collegiate athletics. The University of Nebraska has since excelled, winning five national titles and achieving a perfect 30-0 record this season, highlighting the growth and competitiveness of women's sports.
