Cornhusker to ever be named AVCA National Freshman of the Year. Sarah set single-season

opponents, as she averaged 5.08 kills per game on .316 hitting against ranked
foes. She set the NU postseason record for kills (35) and attacks (90) in a five-game
loss to USC in the NCAA Louisville Regional Final, as her 35 kills were the fifth-highest

was also named AVCA National Player of the Week after averaging 5.83 kills on
.455 hitting, 1.83 blocks and 1.17 digs per game in wins over No. 11 Texas and
