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 will be between conference foes Pittsburgh/Louisville and Nebraska/Penn State.
