Lexi Rodriguez, a Nebraska volleyball star, is close to breaking the school's career dig record and is a top player of the year contender.

Lexi Rodriguez, a senior libero for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, is a finalist for the AVCA National Player of the Year Award and is on the verge of breaking the school's all-time career dig record. Rodriguez, a three-time All-American and Big Ten Libero of the Year, needs just eight more digs to surpass the record held by Justine Wong-Orantes. The Huskers will face Penn State in the NCAA Semifinals on Thursday night.
