Another week brings yet another accolade for Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball standout Bergen Reilly.

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

This recognition marks the second consecutive week and the fifth time this season that Reilly has received a weekly honor from the Big Ten.

Notably, she becomes the first Husker to earn five Big Ten Setter of the Week awards in a single season since Nebraska joined the conference in 2011.

Over her collegiate career, she has now garnered nine conference weekly honors. Reilly’s stellar play has also earned her a place as one of 14 semifinalists for the AVCA Division I Player of the Year Award.

Her most recent award follows an exceptional week in which she averaged 12.83 assists per set and helped the Huskers achieve a combined hitting percentage of .355.

Reilly continued her dominance with a strong performance in Nebraska’s sweep of No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday, recording 36 assists, three digs, two kills, and one block.

Nebraska, now 28-1 and a perfect 18-0 in Big Ten play, will wrap up its regular season next weekend with matches at No. 4 Penn State and Maryland. Both games are scheduled to air on BTN.

Earlier in the week, Reilly also shone in Nebraska’s 3-0 victory over Iowa. She tallied 41 assists, eight digs, three kills, three blocks, and two aces, helping the Huskers achieve a .472 hitting percentage—their best in a Big Ten match since 2017.
