The Nebraska volleyball team had four players earn all-region honors on Tuesday from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Seniors Lauren Cook, Gina Mancuso and Hannah Werth were named to the 14-member Mideast Region first-team, while freshman Meghan Haggerty was named honorable mention.

Mancuso, who was named a unanimous First-Team All-Big Ten pick for the second consecutive year last week, has been key for the Husker offense in 2012. Mancuso is from Omaha.

Cook, from Lincoln,  has put together a stellar senior campaign, averaging 11.12 assists per set and totaling 1,290 total assists on the season.

Werth has continued to put together a stellar Husker career in her senior season. She is averaging 3.07 kills per set and has 341 total kills on the season. She ranks second on the team in kills and is first in digs with 354.

Haggerty, who earned unanimous All-Freshman Team honors last week, has excelled during her outstanding inaugural year with the Huskers. She made an immediate impact for Nebraska, becoming just the eighth true freshman to start a season opener during John Cook's career at NU.
