Three Nebraska volleyball players were selected to the 2021 American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Team, the AVCA announced Wednesday. Lexi Rodriguez picked up first-team All-America honors, Kayla Caffey nabbed second-team recognition, and Madi Kubik earned third-team status. Additionally, Nicklin Hames garnered All-America Honorable Mention.
The Huskers' three AVCA All-America selections boosted NU's total to a nation-leading 98 certificates all-time. A nation-best total of 50 players have combined for the Huskers' 98 awards in school history. The Nebraska volleyball program has had multiple All-Americans seven years straight.
Rodriguez is NU's 49th first-team All-American and the AVCA's first freshman first-team selection since Wisconsin's Dana Rettke in 2017.
