LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Three Nebraska volleyball players were honored Tuesday for their accomplishments in the classroom. Bergen Reilly and Lexi Rodriguez were named to the CSC Academic All-America first team, and Merritt Beason was selected to the second team.

Three Omaha-area residents have been recognized for representing the diverse and inclusive vision of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Each year, Douglas County and the City of Omaha honor two public employees and a community member who emulate Dr.

The three selections increased Nebraska volleyball's total to 43 Academic All-America awards, the most of any volleyball program in NCAA history.
