This game has got to be ONE of the best NCAA championship games. Watching this game made me wonder why the U.S. does NOT have an INDOOR professional league. I know there was one in the past and did not last. However, it is worth another shot. I think it can work now.

In 2014 when people were interviewing Destinee Hooker she said that this match still haunted her, even with all of her medals for her national team. So inspiring

I've watched this SOOO MANY TIMES over the years! Here we are in 2021 and I still think Kisner is my absolute favorite Libero of all time! EVER.

i love watching this video over and over
-
To be down 0-2 and win the game is awesome and goes to show what a tough and talented team PSU is and still are. This is by far the best match I seen on tv. This is how a #1 and #2 teams should play for all the marbles! What a game!!!

5:24 Kisner's dig was so insane, even the legend Karch Kiraly made an "OH!" sound. This is why she is my favorite libero of all time, and why I love that my jersey number is 19. Other great digs at 0:46 and 1:01. D'Errico is also fantastic, covering all of Hooker's tips, and she and Roberta Holehouse were the best liberos of Penn State. Great game all around, thanks to the liberos and defensive specialists.

Thanks for the memory. Might be the greatest single match I've ever seen in 45 years of watching sports on TV. Both teams were superbly talented and played their hearts out -- a number of players probably played the match of their lives that night. I was a little sorry there could only be one winner at the end because both teams richly deserved it.

I can't count how many times I've watched volleyball from 10-15 years ago and said, "you just don't see this any more because of all the rule changes." All of the girls that played this final definitely showed that volleyball is a lot more than being tall and powerful.

Let's not lose sight of what's most important here. With all due respect to Hooker, who is an excellent volley-baller, Penn State came back from a 0-2 deficit and ran the table for a 3rd straight national championship. That is an AWESOME achievement for ANY NCAA school to accomplish, especially given the collegiate volleyball talent on both the men's and women's teams in this country. Outstanding, Lady Lions. You've made the whole Nittany Nation super proud. WE ARE-PENN STATE!

I come back to this video every once in a while and I still get excited every time!
-
Incredible defensive play on both sides. Kissner and D'errico are amazing.
-
This match showcased why Penn State won 4 straight titles. Sure they had the heavy hitters but they also had VERY STRONG liberos and defensive specialists that allowed those hitters to get their opportunities. Goes to show you that defense wins championships!
-
The speed that these setters brought to this match is what put these two teams in the finals that year.
-
So many amazing plays!! The energy in that stadium must have been crazy with both Longhorn and Lions fans!! 4-PEAT!!!
-
thats how the Olympics should be , these women play better then any Olympic game i seen wow
-
this probably one of the most intense volleyball games I've ever seen, and that includes men's matches too
-
those might be the #1 and #2 best teams in the last decade, if not ever
