Nebraska volleyball notched multiple All-Americans for the seventh straight year.
Nebraska volleyball continues to reel in the awards.
The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) released their 2021 All-America selections, with three Huskers making the teams and another earning honorable mention.
Lexi Rodriguez led the Husker contingent with her first-team All-America selection. The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year is the first freshman to make first-team All-America since Wisconsin’s Dana Rettke in 2017.
Rodriguez joins Sarah Pavan (2004) and Kadie Rolfzen (2013) as the only Husker freshman to earn All-America honors, with Rodriguez and Pavan the only one to earn first-team.
Kayla Caffey, snubbed by the Big Ten awards, earned her way onto the national award scene with second-team recognition. This is the first All-America selection for the Missouri transfer.
Madi Kubik earned her first All-America team selection with a third-team honor. Kubik had earned honorable mention the previous two seasons.
Nicklin Hames earned an honorable mention nod. She did the same in 2018 and 2019 before earning second-team last season.
The three AVCA All-America selections increase Nebraska’s nation-leading all-time total to 98. The Huskers have had multiple All-Americans for seven consecutive seasons.
No. 10 Nebraska continues their postseason run Thursday in the NCAA Semifinals against No. 3 Pitt.
