HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – REVENGE: NEBRASKA 12 Indiana 4
| Nebraska Athletics Clinging to a slim chance to host a regional, the Huskers won in run-rule fashion, fueled by a 7-run 3rd inning. Even though Hoosiers coach Shonda Stanton threw a tirade Friday and got herself ejected, it was the Huskers who went home steamed after a 6-2 loss on in a contest where the wind blew balls into Indiana gloves and little went right. Saturday afternoon was much different story in an 12-4 victory which was highlighted by a 7-run 3rd inning which effectively... |

HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – An Indiana Tantrum & a Huskers Loss: Indiana 6 NEBRASKA 2
| Andy Ketterson Indiana Coach Shonda Stanton’s behavior took some luster away but couldn’t erase the fact that Indiana dominated Nebraska late for a 2nd straight time. Since Indiana dominated the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the late innings for the second consecutive game going back to the semi-finals of the 2024 Big 10 tournament, there is really nothing left to do except mock Indiana coach Shonda Stanton whose childish antics, despite multiple warnings, caused her to be ejected in the top of the 6th inning. When Madalyn... |
