Sophomore outside hitter Kadie Rolfzen was named a third-team AVCA All-American for the second straight season, and Kelsey Fien and Mary Pollmiller earned honorable mention on Wednesday.
Rolfzen earned Nebraska’s nation-leading 77th AVCA All-America certificate and is the 27th Husker to earn multiple honors in her career. She led Nebraska in kills with 405 (3.55 per set) and posted a double-double in all four NCAA Tournament matches to help lift the Huskers to the Elite Eight for the third straight season. Rolfzen finished second on the team in digs with 316 (2.77 per set), establishing herself as one of the top all-around players in the nation, region and Big Ten for the second straight season.
Fien’s honorable mention selection was the first of her career. The junior outside hitter from Bakersfield, Calif., was second on the team in kills with 286 (3.21 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. Fien also earned All-Big Ten and All-North Region honors for the first time in her career this season.
Pollmiller, a senior setter and captain from Littleton, Colo., received AVCA All-America honorable mention for the third time in her career and second time at Nebraska. The Littleton, Colo., native guided the Huskers to the Elite Eight with 1,211 assists this season (10.26 per set). She proved herself to be one of the biggest threats offensively and defensively among Big Ten setters, posting 1.04 kills per set while attacking at a .321 clip, and adding 0.70 blocks per set with a total of 83 on the season. She finished her career with 5,230 career assists, which ranks fourth among current Division I setters.
