Hunter Selected B1G Setter of the Week

Nebraska setter Kelly Hunter received her second Big Ten Setter of the Week honor this season, the conference office announced Monday.

The junior captain led the unbeaten and top-ranked Huskers to a pair of top-25 road wins at Michigan and Michigan State over the weekend.

Hunter tallied a season-best 53 assists with 10 digs, six blocks and two aces in the 3-2 comeback win at No. 20 Michigan State on Saturday. The night before, she posted 32 assists, 10 digs, four kills and four blocks in a sweep at No. 22 Michigan. 

Hunter averaged 10.62 assists per set on the weekend, and she leads the Big Red with four double-doubles this season. This is her fourth career Big Ten weekly honor.

The Huskers travel to face No. 24 Illinois on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The match will air on BTN and be carried by the Husker Sports Network.
