Nebraska's Rebekah Allick Joins AVCA Player of Year Watch List

Nebraska senior middle blocker Rebekah Allick has been added mid-season to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) National Player of the Year Watch List, joining teammates Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly. Allick has had a strong start to her final college season, averaging 2.62 kills and 1.22 blocks per set with a hitting percentage of .463, which ranks first in the Big Ten and fourth nationally. She now ranks fifth in career blocks at Nebraska in the rally scoring era, surpassing Sarah Pavan with 460 blocks. The AVCA Watch List initially announced 30 players in July and added 17 more mid-season, with semifinalists and finalists to be named in November and December respectively. The Player of the Year award will be presented at the AVCA Awards Banquet in Kansas City in December. Allick's increased offensive impact and defensive prowess have been key factors in her recognition for this prestigious honor.
