Volleyball: Conference Awards Announced

The B1G Conference announced their post-season awards today, and many Huskers were honored.

The honors were led by Coach John Cook, who was awarded the conference Coach of the Year. Both the media and coaches awarded Cook the honor, marking the second time he’s won the award. The first time was in 1997 as the Wisconsin head coach. It is the first time a Nebraska head coach has won the award.

Justine Wong-Orantes was awarded the conference Defensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row. Wong-Orantes averaged 4.22 digs per set during the season, ranking second in the conference.
