HUSKER SOFTBALL Recap: Anotha Run-Rule Win – Nebraska 10 Northwestern 1 (5 Innings)
| The Huskers gets their 2nd win of the weekend today and will try to get the series sweep tomorrow On another beautiful afternoon in Evanston, Husker Softball took on the Northwestern Wildcats for their 2nd of 3 games this weekend. After a dominating 11-1 win, in 5 innings, yesterday, the Huskers were looking to get another big win today and overtake the Wildcats in the standings. Nebraska entered today’s game winning their last 10 of 12 games. The only two losses came in series’ finales... |
Bolt’s Boys Hang In There For a 6-4 Win Over Iowa
| Tucker Timmerman makes his return to the mound | Nebraska Athletics Nebraska leaves Iowa City with a win and an eye toward better days Will Bolt’s boys got a win they desperately needed today in Iowa City. It wasn’t easy. Of course, it is never easy against the conference leading Hawkeyes. However, when they get on the bus for the ride home this afternoon, they have a 6-4 win under their belt and have improved their chances of securing a spot in the conference tournament... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap (Saturday Nite): NEBRASKA 11 Northwestern 1 (5)
| Nebraska Athletics The Husker bats exploded in the 2nd and Jordy overcame a little wildness and went the distance to stifle the Wildcats in another run-rule win. After a first inning in which neither Northwestern’s Lauren Boyd nor Jordy Bahl allowed any serious threats, it was the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ turn to take their swings in the top of the second. When the dust settled from that strategic bombing run, Olivia DiNardo stood on first after being plunked by a pitch, the Wildcats had yet to... |
Iowa Deals Nebraska a Hard 11-6 Loss in Iowa City
| Nebraska pitching woes continue | Nebraska Athletics First-place team in the B1G puts Cornhuskers in their place After an unexpected pitcher’s duel on Friday night, game two in the series between the Cornhuskers and Hawkeyes turned into the type of game most fans expected between the two rivals. Unfortunately, the high-pressure offense Coach Rick Heller’s teams are famous for wore out Nebraska pitching and left the Cornhuskers wondering what happened to the promise of this season. Back to work. @AuroraAgNetwork | #GBR pic.twitter.com/Skc3VaLaLw — Nebraska... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL – Time To Make a Big Move: Previewing Northwestern
| Huskers Athletics The Huskers sit 2 games out of a 3-way tie for 1st place in the B1G standings – this is the best chance to position themselves for a top 4 finish. (Due to a family commitment, this will be a somewhat abbreviated preview and the recap will not be posted until later tonight or tomorrow morning.) The No. 21 Nebraska softball team is set to travel to Evanston, Ill., for a Big Ten series this weekend against the Northwestern Wildcats (20-12-1, 9-1 Big... |
Iowa Takes Game 1 Against Nebraska Baseball in 1-0 Pitchers’ Duel
| Nebraska Athletics A great showing by both starting pitchers made for a quick game, albeit not in the Huskers’ favor. On a cool night in Iowa City, with barely any wind blowing at the ballpark, it was a perfect night for an old fashioned Friday night pitchers dual between a couple of aces. Iowa sent out Cade Obermueller, the man who would most likely be the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year if the voting happened right now. Nebraska countered against the top hitting team... |
HUSKERS FOOTBALL Spring Series #6: Some Photos of Spring
| Andy Ketterson Less babbling, more pictures. They may not be Pulitzer winners, but here’s some shots from the days press got access. With minimal babbling. Wanting some better quality shots for Nebraska Cornhuskers softball and getting the green light for spring and fall football practices, I decided to spring for an actual camera recently, and, if I’m being honest, we’re still getting to know each other. But, especially at softball where I’m writing while snapping what I can, it just felt a little weird blasting... |

| Photo by Williams Paul/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images We’re back!

Fred Hoiberg’s Husker squad did just that, winning the inaugural College Basketball Crown with a 77-66 win over... |
Thursday Flakes: The Masters Begins and More
| Michael Madrid-Imagn Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… Well, NCAA basketball season is over, so that means it’s now time for me to turn my attention to the Masters. April is such a fun time. You get to prank people on the first day of the month, you get to hate people for winning the company bracket the first weekend, you have the Masters and the beautiful Augusta National Golf Course the following week. Easter is usually some time in April, although not... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – BACK-to-BACK AVA JACKS: NEBRASKA 8 Creighton 2
| Nebraska Athletics The Ava’s both went deep to right, Sammie added another bomb and Jordy struggled a little but ultimately shut down threats, and Jayskers everywhere changed into their red stuff. Sometimes, that headline rhymes. And whatever gets Jayskers tearing off blue stuff and hastily reaching for that scarlet sweater vest or North Face fleece is always fine by the pure-reds. In the top of the 5th inning with two down, Creighton’s Lily West hit a solo homer and then Kaelan Schulz doubled off the... |
Nebraska Football Spring Preview: Wide Receivers – Some Veterans and Two Potential True Freshmen Who Could Be Special
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images The Nebraska wide receiver room is a tough group to preview. In the lone press conference with their position coach, Daikiel Shorts, most of the questions were about Shorts himself and he didn’t say much about the players. I think we have three guys that Nebraska should be able to rely on at the wide receiver position. Then we have two true freshmen who could end up being pretty special as they develop. After that there are a bunch of players we... |
Nebraska is looking good for some big-time offensive line recruits.
| Nebraska recently hosted 5-star offensive lineman Jake Hildebrand and 4-star Albert Simien, who both had glowing reviews of the Huskers and Donovan Raiola. Hildebrand (6-6, 285 lbs) hails from Basha High School in Gilbert, Arizona, and is the top offensive tackle in the class and 21st in the nation, according to the 247 composite. Simien from Louisiana and Sam Houston High School (6-5, 260 lbs) is not far behind Hildebrand, ranked as the top interior lineman in the 2027 class and 51st nationally. What an... |
