Nebraska setter Bergen Reilly was named Big Ten Setter of the Week for the second straight week and the fourth time this season. Her 17 setter of the week honors ties her for second in conference history.
Reilly quarterbacked the Cornhuskers to sweeps over nationally-ranked Oregon and Washington last Saturday and Sunday. Nebraska hit a nation-best .448 percentage, 18 points better than any other team in the nation. Nebraska led the nation with 17 kills per set. The two wins clinched a fourth straight Big Ten championship, all with Reilly at the helm as the setter.
In Sunday’s match against the Huskies, Reilly directed the Husker offense to a .477 hitting percentage, the highest by Nebraska in a match against a ranked opponent in the rally-scoring era.
The Huskers are back in action Thursday at 6 p.m. against Illinois. Pregame coverage begins at 5 p.m. on KLIN and B-107.3.
