Nebraska middle blocker Andi Jackson grabbed the Cornhuskers’ third straight Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award. Jackson earned the honor after Olivia Mauch claimed it last week and after Manaia Ogbechie won it the week before.
Jackson led Nebraska to a pair of sweeps, totaling 10 bocks while holding USC and UCLA to a combined .065 hitting percentage for the two matches. She also added 19 kills in the two victories.
The Huskers now prepare to face Michigan Friday at 5:30 p.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich. Pregame coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. on KLIN and B-107.3.
