Huskers Set for Big Ten Media Days in Chicago

Nebraska volleyball head coach John Cook and seniors Lindsay Krause and Kennedi Orr will participate in the third annual Big Ten Volleyball Media Days on Tuesday, Aug. 6 at the Big Ten Network Headquarters in Chicago. 

The Huskers will be live in studio on Big Ten Network with Rick Pizzo, Holly McPeak and Elena Shklyar from 11:05-11:25 a.m. (CT). Immediately after that, Nebraska will hold its official press conference from 11:30-11:50 a.m., which will be streamed live on B1G+. 

Krause, a senior outside hitter from Papillion, Neb., was averaging 2.50 kills per set on .285 hitting in her junior season before it was cut short by an injury in mid-October. In six Big Ten matches, Krause was averaging 2.82 kills per set on .366 hitting, which was the top hitting percentage by a Big Ten outside hitter in conference play at the time of her injury. She was the Big Ten Player of the Week on Oct. 9 after posting a season-high 15 kills on .519 hitting at Michigan and nine kills on .381 hitting at Michigan State. Off the court, Krause has earned Academic All-District, Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten honors. She graduated in May in just 36 months with a degree in English. 

Orr, a senior setter from Eagan, Minn., played a pivotal role as a serving sub for the Huskers last season. She served an ace in seven different matches and provided 39 digs for the Big Red. Entering her fourth season at Nebraska, Orr has 325 career set assists, 12 service aces and 164 digs. Orr also earned her bachelor's degree in communication studies in 36 months in May. She is a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, Academic All-Big Ten and Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award honoree.
