Nebraska sets world record for women's sporting event attendance

• The previous record for a women's sporting event in the U.S. was 90,185 at the 1999 Women's World Cup final.
• The match obliterated the record for attendance at a volleyball game, when 18,755 watched the University of Florida play at the University of Wisconsin.

Between the lines: Volleyball is perennial and massive draw in Nebraska, where the Huskers have won five national championships.

• The University of Nebraska, which holds the NCAA record for home sellouts in football with a streak that dates to 1962, also holds NCAA record for sellouts in volleyball at 306 straight home matches.
