The talented freshman is the second NU player to win the award
Nebraska freshman libero Lexi Rodriguez notched yet another Friday morning, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) 2021 National Freshman of the Year.
Rodriguez is the first libero in AVCA history to win the award, and second freshman in NU history, joining Sarah Paven (2004).
Rodriguez has been one of the best additions for Nebraska this season. The freshman won the libero job and averaged 4.41 digs and 1.11 assists per set while adding 16 aces. Her play has earned her first-team All-American, first-team All-Big Ten, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, and Big Ten All-Freshman honors.
Nebraska plays Wisconsin for the NCAA title Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT.
