It was an exciting first two rounds of the NCAA volleyball tournament. 

We saw unseeded upsets in the first round by Western Michigan, Minnesota and TCU, to name a few. Top-seeded Stanford survived a five-set thriller against Houston in the second round, while No. 5 seeds Georgia Tech, Penn State and Arizona State upset host teams to advance to regionals.

As the number of matches remaining in the season dwindles down, the drama will only heighten. In regionals, teams are only two wins away from the national semifinals. Will those teams include powerhouses Nebraska and Wisconsin, who have been at the top all season? Arizona State and Arkansas hope to continue their dream seasons by upsetting conference foes, while Penn State threatens to beat the No. 1 Badgers for a second time this season.

And that’s all before the regional finals, when we see who finally makes it to Tampa.
