Three Huskers Named to AVCA All-North Region Team

Nebraska-Volleyball-HuskersKelsey Fien, Mary Pollmiller and Kadie Rolfzen were named to the AVCA All-North Region Team on Tuesday.

Pollmiller, a senior setter and captain from Littleton, Colo., is a three-time AVCA All-Region honoree, earning spots in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Pollmiller leads the Huskers with 10.10 assists per set and ranks fourth among active NCAA Division I players in career assists with 5,140. Pollmiller also adds 81 blocks (0.73 per set) to rank fourth on the team.

Rolfzen, a sophomore outside hitter from Papillion, Neb., earns her second career all-region honor after earning both all-region and all-America selections last year as a freshman. She leads Nebraska in kills with 381 (3.56 per set), and averaged 3.62 in Big Ten play. Rolfzen also tallies 2.66 digs per set to rank second on the team and establish herself as one of the top all-around players in the region for the second straight season.

Fien earns her first career AVCA All-Region honor after a breakout season. The junior outside hitter from Bakersfield, Calif., is second on the team in kills with 265 (3.23 per set) and was particularly strong in conference play, posting 3.39 kills per set while hitting .303, the best mark by an NU player and third among all B1G outside hitters.

All three players are now eligible for All-America honors. The Huskers hit the road this week for the NCAA Tournament Regional in Seattle, Wash. Nebraska will play the No. 3 seed Washington at 8:30 p.m. (CT) on Friday on ESPNU.
