Hunter Named B1G Setter of the Week

Kelly Hunter was named the Big Ten Setter of the Week on Monday, the conference office announced. 

The honor is the first career one for Hunter, a sophomore from Papillion, Neb. The Husker captain was named the most valuable player of the Nebraska Invitational on Saturday. She led Nebraska to a 3-0 record with 12.0 assists per set, 2.2 digs per set and 1.2 kills per set. 

Hunter set career highs of 50 assists, 11 digs and eight kills in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday night, nearly missing Nebraska's first triple-double since 2002. She guided the Husker offense to a .317 hitting percentage for the weekend.
