Left for dead yet again, the remarkable Kans University women’s volleyball team had one more comeback in it and miracle of miracles, the Jayhawks are headed to the Final Four for the first time in school history.
They knocked of top-seeded USC by scoring the final six points of a dramatic fifth-set victory.
Score it 25-18, 25-21, 22-25, 19-25, 15-13 for the Jayhawks, who face Nebraska on Thursday.
After winning the first two sets and losing the next two when national player of the year Samantha Bricio began to dominate, Kansas rebounded from deficits of 5-1 and 13-9 to pull off the amazing comeback, winning when Madison Rigdon’s bullet hit the floor and triggered an on-court celebration.
KU fans broke into a “Final Four! Final Four!” chant.
