This week, hosts Amie Just and Erin Sorensen are looking at the stories behind the results and a few things that have nothing to do with the final score. Cornell made history by hosting the first nationally televised women’s sporting event in school history, then backed it up with a four-set win over Princeton that mattered in the Ivy League standings. We also get into Missouri’s five-set win over Tennessee, Texas sweeping Texas A&M for the first time since 2019, Michigan knocking off Indiana and Nebraska settling in after dropping the opening set against both Michigan and Michigan State.We also revisit Montana and Utah Tech’s dance-off after the comments quickly filled with people insisting men’s teams would never do something like that. We came prepared with examples.And then, three-time Olympic medalist Kelsey Robinson Cook joins us to talk about her career, the professional game, LOVB and her new role with the San Francisco Signal. The timing is perfect, because we’re headed to Los Angeles for LOVB Media Days this weekend and will have plenty more coming from there.Six Zone Duo is a national women's volleyball podcast hosted by award-winning journalists Amie Just and Erin Sorensen.

What a week of volleyball and we’re not even sure where to start.Texas A&M swept Kentucky, Tennessee stayed hot, Kansas swept TCU and reverse-swept Baylor, Washington won at Wisconsin before getting swept by Minnesota, and Iowa added another twist by taking down UCLA. Hosts Amie Just and Erin Sorensen break down what all of those results actually tell us and more.We also respond to some of your questions and comments: Are we underrating Oregon? Was UCLA really a Top 16 team when it played Nebraska? Who did Purdue anger to get that schedule? And what are the best ways to keep up with scores, schedules and stats across college volleyball?Then, USA Volleyball President and CEO John Speraw joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of volleyball in the United States, the road to LA28, expanding access to the sport, the national-team pipeline and what this moment of unprecedented growth could become.And the timing couldn’t be better: the pools for the 2027 FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Cup were announced the day we recorded, setting up a major international event in the U.S. and Canada (and another important step on the road to the Los Angeles Olympics).Six Zone Duo is a national women's volleyball podcast hosted by award-winning journalists Amie Just and Erin Sorensen.

We also go beyond the Top 25 and Division I with a nudge from our listeners.Then, TCU’s Becca Kelley and Evan Hendrix join us to talk about becoming one of the most dangerous attacking duos in the country, what’s behind TCU’s emergence on the national stage and what they’re learning from one another along the way.Six Zone Duo is a national women's volleyball podcast hosted by award-winning journalists Amie Just and Erin Sorensen.

What a week in college volleyball. SMU earned its flowers with a win over Pitt, Pitt answered in a wild rematch, Nebraska swept Wisconsin for its fifth straight win in the series, Oklahoma swept Texas and Vanderbilt picked up the first Top 5 win in program history in just its second season.Amie Just and Erin Sorensen break down what stood out from a chaotic week before getting into a thoughtful listener question about the gender imbalance in coaching leadership as women’s volleyball continues to grow.NCAA Director of Championships and Alliances Kristin Fasbender joins for an inside look at how the Division I Women’s Volleyball Committee builds its Top 16, what fans should and shouldn’t take from the midseason reveal, how strength of schedule factors into the process and how much can still change before Selection Sunday. We also talk about the continued growth of the NCAA championship, what’s ahead in San Antonio and where Kristin sees the biggest opportunities for women’s volleyball to keep building momentum.6ZD is presented by Homefield.
