More All-America honors for Nebraska volleyball.

The Huskers had four players named AVCA All-Americans on Wednesday. That ties Pittsburgh for the most from any team.

Nebraska has 107 All-America selections in program history, the most in the nation.

Libero Lexi Rodriguez and middle blocker Andi Jackson were named to the first team, while outside hitter Harper Murray and setter Bergen Reilly landed on the second team. Former Husker Ally Batenhorst was an honorable mention selection after her season at USC.

Rodriguez is now a four-time All-American. She joins Kadie Rolfzen (2013-16) and Sarah Pavan (2004-07) as the only four-time All-Americans in program history. Rodriguez is also a finalist for AVCA Player of the Year, which will be announced Friday.

This is the second All-America honor for both Murray and Reilly, while Jackson has her first such honor.
