Pittsburgh earned the #1 overall seed, while Nebraska, Penn State, and Louisville rounded out the top-4 overall seeds. All four teams successfully defeated their first & second round opponents, allowing them to host the regional rounds. Penn State remains the only NCAA Division I women's volleyball program to earn a bid to all 44 NCAA Tournaments since its inception in 1981.
For the first time since the 2008 NCAA tournament, all top-4 overall seeds made it to the final four. The wins guaranteed an ACC vs. Big Ten final, as the semifinal matchups were between conference foes Pittsburgh/Louisville and Nebraska/Penn State. With Louisville and Penn State advancing to the national championship, a female head coach would be guaranteed to win the NCAA Division I championship for the first time in NCAA women′s volleyball history.
Penn State won the program’s 8th national championship by defeating Louisville 3–1 in the final. Louisville was making its second championship match appearance in 3 years. Penn State was led by Jess Mruzik who had 29 kills. Mruzik would go on to win the NCAA Tournament MVP. Katie Schumacher-Cawley made history by being the first female Division I head volleyball coach to win the title.

== Game recap ==
=== Semifinal 1: Pittsburgh vs. Louisville ===
The opening set was back-and-forth, it was tied 14–14 before Pittsburgh responded with a run to go up 23–16 before winning 25–21. The second set was also close, tied at 19–19, Pittsburgh would eventually take the lead 22–21 before Louisville tied it up at 23–23 after a block from senior All-American Anna DeBeer. Louisville would win the second set 25–23 to even the match at one set a piece. In the third set, Louisville won in extra points, 29–27, to take the 2–1 lead. Despite DeBeer going down with an ankle injury in the beginning of set 4, Louisville rushed out to a 9–3 lead, eventually going up 21–13. Louisville would win the fourth set 25–17 and advanced to the championship match for the second time in three seasons. Louisville was led by its outside hitter trio of DeBeer, Charitie Luper, and Sofia Maldonado Diaz, who all recorded 14 kills each. Pittsburgh was led by AVCA National Player of the Year Olivia Babcock, who had a career-high 33 kills in the match.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/volleyball-women/d1/louisville-volleyball-rallies-past-pitt-reach-ncaa-title-match|title = Louisville volleyball rallies past Pitt to reach NCAA title match}}
=== Semifinal 2: Penn State vs. Nebraska ===
Penn State and Nebraska were meeting for the second time in just 3 weeks, as Penn State defeated Nebraska 3–1 in their final regular-season conference matchup to secure a share of the conference title.
The opening set was close, with Nebraska edging out Penn State 25–23. Nebraska won the second set relatively easy, 25–18, going up 2–0 and looking poised to advance to the championship. Penn State went on a 5–0 run in the third set to take the lead, and eventually won, 25–23. In the fourth set, Nebraska went on a run to take a commanding 22–16 lead. Despite only having a 0.3% chance to win the match at that point,{{Cite web|url=https://dignittanyvolleyball.com/reversal-of-fortune-penn-state-stuns-volleyball-world-with-3-2-win-over-nebraska/|title = Reversal of Fortune: Penn State Stuns Volleyball World with Reverse Sweep of Nebraska| date=December 19, 2024 }} Penn State chipped away at Nebraska's lead. Nebraska had two match point opportunities at 24–22, but Penn State tied it at 24–24. Penn State eventually won the fourth set, 28–26, to force a fifth set. In the fifth set, Penn State was able to maintain at least a 1-point lead throughout most of the set, and eventually won on a final kill from senior outside hitter Camryn Hannah, 15–13. The win was only the second reverse sweep (when a team wins in 5 sets after being down 0–2) in the Final Four since Penn State accomplished same in the 2009 NCAA title match vs. Texas. Penn State was led by senior outside hitter Jess Mruzik and redshirt freshman Caroline Jurevicius, who had 26 kills and 20 kills, respectively. Nebraska was led by sophomore outside hitter Harper Murray and sophomore middle blocker Andi Jackson, who had 20 and 19 kills, respectively.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/volleyball-women/d1/penn-state-pulls-reverse-sweep-over-nebraska-reach-ncaa-volleyball-finals|title = Penn State pulls off reverse sweep over Nebraska to reach NCAA volleyball finals}}
