The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) have announced that Stanford University, University of Hawai'i and Penn State University have accepted invitations to the AVCA/NACWAA College Volleyball Showcase to be held on Aug. 26-27.

The University of Nebraska was announced earlier this month as the host of the four-team tournament to be held in Omaha at the Qwest Center.

Nebraska has served as host for the event twice before in 1999 and 1995, but both events were contested at the Nebraska Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb. The 'Huskers will be making their fifth appearance in the event, and first since 2001 when they won the tournament championship.

Penn State is also making its fifth appearance in the tournament, but its first since the 2000 season. Stanford and Hawai'i are making their fourth appearances in the event.

The Showcase first-round matches are Stanford versus Penn State at 6 p.m. and Nebraska vs. Hawai'i at 8 p.m. on Aug. 26. The consolation and championship matches will be played on Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
