College volleyball’s premier preseason event comes to Omaha for the second time, as the AVCA announced that Qwest Center Omaha will host the 2007 AVCA Showcase. The event features defending national champion Nebraska, along with national semifinalist UCLA and NCAA qualifiers Tennessee and Utah.

The Showcase first-round matches will be UCLA versus Utah, followed by Nebraska versus Tennessee on Friday, August 24.  The consolation and championship matches will be played the following night, August 25.  Times for matches on both dates will be announced at a later date.

“The AVCA Showcase is the premier event in the United States for college volleyball outside of the NCAA Championships, and we have proven that there is no place like Nebraska to play major events,” said Nebraska head coach John Cook.  “The community embraces the sport of volleyball, and the players and fans of all four teams in the AVCA Showcase will get to experience a first-class event with huge crowds and a Final Four-type atmosphere.” 

The Huskers are making their sixth AVCA Showcase appearance and have won the event in 2001 and 2005. Nebraska, which finished 33-1 in 2006, returns five starters, including AVCA National Player of the Year Sarah Pavan and All-Americans Rachel Holloway, Jordan Larson and Tracy Stalls along with 2005 AVCA National Player of the Year Christina Houghtelling, who missed all of last season with a shoulder injury.
