There are times when Nebraska setter Nicklin Hames plays with an attitude that she owns the volleyball court, and that’s just fine with coach John Cook.
“You want your setter thinking that way. We give them the keys to the Lamborghini and everybody is along for the ride,” Cook said.
There were a few shaky rides this season as Nebraska navigated a season with lots of new parts, including life with a true freshman setter, but Hames has Nebraska rolling along really well right now.
Later this week, Hames will set the Huskers in the NCAA Tournament Final Four, which is a rare accomplishment for a freshman setter.
