A Nebraska Cornhusker was named the Big Ten Volleyball Player of the Week on Monday.

Nebraska Cornhusker Harper Murray was awarded the Big Ten Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season. Murray, a senior outside hitter, contributed to the team's success by helping Nebraska secure two ranked victories against Indiana and Wisconsin. During these games, Murray showcased her skills by achieving an average of 5.17 kills per set, boasting a .429 hitting percentage, and leading all Big Ten players with these impressive statistics.

Her outstanding performance was on display against Indiana, where she recorded an impressive 11 kills and seven digs in a sweep. Against Wisconsin, Murray delivered a season-high 20 kills on .471 hitting, along with four digs and three blocks. Murray's consistent excellence made her one of three Huskers to win a Big Ten award during this week.

Nebraska volleyball is set to return to action on Thursday against Northwestern, with a 7 p.m. CT start on B1G+. For the latest updates on Nebraska news, follow @CornhuskersWire on X (formerly Twitter) or like their Facebook page.
