  "account": "The final week of the women's volleyball regular season brought excitement with several nail-biting five-set games and outcomes that may sway NCAA Tournament seeding as Selection Sunday approaches. However, no movement occurred at the top of the AVCA Coaches Poll, with Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Florida, and SMU maintaining their rankings in first through fifth places, respectively. The Cornhuskers showcased their dominance by sweeping Oregon and Washington, returning home with victories over both teams. This 2-0 trip, which now puts them at 25-0 for the season, ensured their share of the Big Ten regular season crown. BYU extended their impressive 17-match winning streak with a top-25 win over Colorado. Additionally, notable five-set games included No. 21 Vanderbilt defeating Texas and No. 11 Penn State overcoming No. 7 Wisconsin. Notably, Kentucky and Vanderbilt secured first-place votes in the updated AVCA Coaches Poll.",
