Historic Season and Awards Overview
The Nebraska volleyball program has made headlines following a remarkable 20-0 campaign in the Big Ten, marking the first such achievement since 2009. This success was recognized in the Big Ten Volleyball Postseason Honors, where junior setter Bergen Reilly was awarded both the Big Ten Player of the Year and the Big Ten Setter of the Year. Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly also received accolades as the Big Ten Coach of the Year, making her first season at Nebraska historic.
Key Honors and Recognitions
Bergen Reilly's accolades are particularly noteworthy; she is the first setter to win the Player of the Year award since Minnesota's Samantha Seliger-Swenson in 2018 and only the second Husker to earn this honor, following Kelsey Robinson in 2013. Reilly's achievement of being named Setter of the Year for three consecutive years places her alongside Wisconsin's Sydney Hilley as one of only two players in Big Ten history to accomplish this feat.
Joining Reilly on the All-Big Ten First Team are Rebekah Allick, Andi Jackson, and Harper Murray, with Reilly, Jackson, and Murray being among the nine unanimous selections. Additionally, Taylor Landfair and Laney Choboy were named to the All-Big Ten Second Team, while Virginia Adriano earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team. Maisie Boesiger was recognized with a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.
