The Big Ten Conference announced the players and pitchers of the week on Monday afternoon with two Nebraska Cornhuskers earning weekly honors. Juniors Jordy Bahl and Ava Kuszak each took home their first weekly award of the season with Bahl being named Co-Pitcher of the Week and Kuszak as the Co-Player of the Week.

Nebraska softball player Jordy Bahl was named the NFCA Co-Player of the Week for her play in the Troy Cox Classic last weekend.

In yesterday’s column sharing the news Ava Kuszak and Jordy Bahl had received the B1G Co-Player and Pitcher of the Week honors respectively, I couldn’t resist a little jab at the conference for not awarding both of them the recognition outright.
