The '''1986 NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament''' began with 32 teams and ended on December 20, 1986, when [[University of the Pacific (United States)|Pacific]] defeated [[Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball|Nebraska]] 3 games to 0 in the NCAA championship match.

Pacific won their second straight NCAA title in volleyball with an easy sweep of Nebraska by the scores of 15-12, 15-4, 15-4.<ref>(12-21-1986). "[http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SB&p_theme=sb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB0D789A646F303&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Oden has a title to savor; UOP swamps Nebraska for second straight crown]". ''The Sacramento Bee''.</ref>

Nebraska became the first non-[[California]] or [[Hawaii]] university to make the NCAA national championship match (although it happened six times in the [[Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women championships#Volleyball|AIAW]] national championships in the 1970s). Semifinalist Texas joined Nebraska in becoming the first non-California or Hawaii universities to make the NCAA final four (although four such others reached title matches in the 1970s).
