Another week, another honor for Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball star Bergen Reilly.

The sophomore was named the Big Ten’s Co-Setter of the Week on Monday, sharing the honor with Penn State’s Izzy Starck.

It’s the second week in a row and fifth time this season that Reilly has received a weekly award from the conference, making her the first Husker to earn five Big Ten Setter of the Week awards in a season since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011. She’s now collected nine weekly honors over her career. She's also one of 14 semifinalists for the AVCA Division I Player of the Year Award.

This latest accolade comes after Reilly averaged 12.83 assists per set and helped lead the Big Red to a combined hitting percentage of .355 last week.

In Nebraska's 3-0 win at Iowa last Wednesday, Reilly collected 41 assists, eight digs, three kills, three blocks and two aces, helping the Huskers hit .472 — their best hitting percentage in a Big Ten match since 2017.

She followed up that performance with 36 assists, three digs, two kills and a block in a sweep of No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday.

Nebraska (28-1, 18-0 in Big Ten play) will finish the regular-season next weekend at No. 4 Penn State and Maryland. Both matches will be broadcast on BTN.
