MANHATTAN, Kan. | For the Kansas State volleyball team, the last week has been perhaps the most hectic in program history.</p><p>It started last Friday with a monumental victory over No. 2 Nebraska in the second round of the NCAA tournament that brought the Wildcats all kinds of attention. They were honored the next day at K-State&#x2019;s final home football game and responding to congratulatory emails and text messages all weekend. Then came practices, a lengthy trip to Hawaii and more practices.</p><p>All that was fun and wild, but it leads up to a Sweet 16 match at 9 tonight against No. 15 Pepperdine at Hawaii&#x2019;s Sheriff Center. If they win, the Wildcats will take on the winner of No. 7 Southern California and No. 10 Hawaii at 11 p.m. Saturday for a trip to the NCAA semifinals in San Antonio.</p><p>How will the Wildcats move past those thoughts and stay focused on volleyball?</p><p>&#x201C;Do what they do to get them here,&#x201D; K-State coach Suzie Fritz said. &#x201C;I don&#x2019;t think we have the time to all of a sudden reinvent the wheel. We have progressively gotten better, which gives me a sense of tremendous pride as a coach. I just think we need to continue to do what we&#x2019;ve done to get us to this point.&#x201D;</p><p>The Wildcats used that same businesslike approach leading up to their win over the powerhouse Cornhuskers.</p><p>Despite it being arguably the biggest victory in program history, it is now treated like any other match they have played.</p><p>&#x201C;I think you can only talk about a win for so long,&#x201D; sophomore Kaitlynn Pelger said. &#x201C; &#x2026; We are just excited that we are playing our best volleyball right now.&#x201D;</p><p>Pelger, a sophomore from Olathe South, reached the 20-kill mark against Nebraska. Caitlyn Donahue, a junior from Blue Valley West, reached double digits in both kills and blocks. Sophomore Lilla Porubek and junior Alex Muff have also been solid lately.</p><p>They helped K-State reach its third Sweet 16 in program history.</p><p>&#x201C;Our kids were excited about it, but I can&#x2019;t say they think that is the end for us,&#x201D; Fritz said of the win over Nebraska. &#x201C;They came in here as though they wanted to keep playing. I think they&#x2019;re proud of it, and they should be. They earned the right to be proud of it. But I get the sense it&#x2019;s one of what we hope is a few more.&#x201D;</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> <strong><span class="infobox-head">NCAA volleyball </span></strong><br /> <strong>&#x2022;Who:</strong> K-State vs. Pepperdine</p><p><strong>&#x2022;When/where:</strong> 9 tonight in Hawaii</p><p></div>
