The 17th-ranked Nebraska softball team wraps up its regular-season road schedule this weekend
when it travels to Lubbock, Texas, for a pair of games with the Texas Tech Red Raiders. NU, which is
33-8 on the season and in third place in the Big 12 Conference with a 7-4 record, is 1-1 this week after
splitting a pair of games with Iowa State.
The Huskers dropped a 6-5 game at Iowa State on Tuesday, before rebounding with an 8-0 run-rule
victory over the Cyclones on Thursday that gave NU a 15-1 home record, marking the most wins in the
five-year history of Bowlin Stadium.
Following Sunday's game, Nebraska returns home for a season-ending six-game homestand that
begins on Tuesday, April 25 and wraps up on Sunday, May 7. The Huskers have plenty of promotions
planned for the homestand including: Student Day (April 25), when 100 adidas softball shirts will
be handed out to the first 100 students entering Bowlin Stadium; Fan Appreciation Day (April 26)
that features free general admission to the public and 250 bags of Colby Ridge popcorn distributed at
the gate; Softball Club Day (May 6), when kids wearing their little league jerseys receive free general
admission seating; and Senior Night (May 7), when the Huskers' senior class will be recognized.
Before the home festivities, NU faces a key series this weekend as the Huskers remain in the hunt for
the Big 12 title. Although Texas Tech ranks in the bottom half of the league standings, Texas Tech has
proven to be a formidable foe, as Tech owns victories over 15th-ranked and defending Big 12 champions
Texas A&M and 22nd-ranked Oklahoma.

Texas Tech is 18-29 overall and 4-9 in the Big
12 Conference this season and has lost five games
in a row, all in conference play.
The Red Raiders were swept at Kansas
last weekend and dropped a doubleheader to
Oklahoma State on Tuesday. TTU then fell 6-0
to second-ranked Texas on Thursday, before the
second game of the doubleheader was canceled
due to rain.
Despite their record, the Red Raiders boast
impressive victories over then-No. 18 Missouri
(8-3), then-No. 15 Oklahoma (4-2) and then-No.
15 Texas A&M (3-2).
Texas Tech is hitting just .236 as a team while
averaging three runs per game. Montana Patin
leads the team with a .290 average. Ashley Parker
boasts a Big 12-best 31 stolen bases in only
33 attempts, while Jennifer Bowers is the Red
Raiders' top slugger, hitting a team-high seven
home runs and producing 25 RBIs.
In the circle, Texas Tech has compiled a 2.80
team ERA. Erin Crawford (11-15) has seen the
majority of the action, allowing 53 earned runs in
160.2 innings, en route to a team-low 2.31 ERA.
Last Time We Met
Nebraska swept Texas Tech at Bowlin Stadium
last season, defeating the Red Raiders, 7-1, in the
first game before earning a 3-2 victory in game
two.
The Husker slappers wreaked havoc in the
two-game set. Lizzy Aumua and Jessica Yoachim
combined to go 9-for-10 with eight runs scored,
three sacrifices and a walk in the series.
In game one, six Texas Tech errors helped
Nebraska produce seven runs. Yoachim was 2-for2 with a pair of runs, a walk and a sacrifice, while
Aumua was 2-for-2 with three runs, an RBI and
two sacrifices.
Devin Porter also enjoyed a good day, going
1-for-2 with a double, a pair of RBIs and she was
also hit by a pitch.
In the circle, Ashley DeBuhr tossed a completegame and surrendered just five hits while allowing
just one unearned run.
Game two proved to be much closer. Nebraska
built a 3-0 lead after three innings, before hanging
on for the 3-2 win.
Aumua (3-for-3) and Yoachim (2-for-3) led the
way again, combining to score all three Husker
runs.
DeBuhr earned the victory in the circle for the
second straight day, allowing two runs on four
hits in her second complete-game effort in as
many days.
Nebraska leads the all-time series, 22-3,
including a perfect 8-0 mark at Texas Tech. The
Huskers have won 10 straight in the series.
Winning Streaks Snapped
Nebraska's season-long 11-game winning streak
and 13-game home winning streak were both
snapped when 19th-ranked Baylor defeated the
Huskers, 7-2, on April 14. NU quickly rebounded
with a 7-4 win the next day.

Linke Emerging
Senior Katie Linke emerged in a big way last week, finishing 3-for-4 with three walks and three RBIs
in three games, including two starts. Prior to last week, Linke was just 1-for-15 on the season with four
walks and no RBIs.
She drew two walks in her only two plate appearances in a start against South Dakota State in the first
game of a doubleheader on Wednesday. She followed that performance by recording a two-run, pinch-hit
single in the second game.
Linke again came through in a pinch-hitting situation, recording a one-out single that helped Nebraska
avoid a shutout with a two-run seventh inning against No. 19 Baylor on Friday. Linke earned a start in
the second game against the Lady Bears and finished 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI.
This week, Linke went 2-for-3 with her second career home run at Iowa State on Tuesday and added
a pair of walks in the rematch on Thursday. In her last six games, Linke boasts an on-base percentage of
.769.
Good Golly, Miss Molly
Freshman right-hander Molly Hill is off to an incredible start to her career. With a complete-game win
over 19th-ranked Baylor on April 15 - her second win over a ranked team in as many starts this season
- Hill improved to 17-1. Hill suffered just her second loss of her career at Iowa State on Tuesday.
Hill is off to the best start to a season - and career - by any pitcher in the 31-year history of Nebraska
softball. Her .895 winning percentage ranks first in NU single-season history, ahead of Husker pitching
coach Lori Sippel, who holds the school record with an .870 single-season winning percentage when she
went 20-3 in 1987.
Double Trouble
In the stat of the week, Nebraska turned three double plays in two games against Baylor last weekend.
Prior to the Baylor series, NU had turned just four double plays in the first 37 games of the season.
Softball Success Mirrored by Baseball
Softball and baseball, in their basic existence, share many similarities. At Nebraska, the two sports share
another similiarity: winning. While the 16th-ranked softball team boasts a 33-8 record, the fourth-ranked
baseball team is 30-5. Combined, NU boasts a 63-13 record for a winning percentage of .820, which is
believed to be the best combined softball-baseball winning percentage in Division I.
Each team has fewer than 10 losses on the season. The only other Division I school that can claim the
same is Oregon State. The Beavers have a combined 55-16 record (.770), including a 30-6 record for
the softball team, which the Huskers defeated 8-2 on the first day of the season.
In addition to the success in the win column, Husker baseball and softball also boasts tremendous
success in drawing fans. Last Friday, despite overlapping game times, baseball (8,757) and softball (1,027)
combined to draw nearly 10,000 fans to the Haymarket Park complex.
Borg's Career Inning
Junior Jaime Borg enjoyed a career inning in the Huskers' 7-2 loss to 19th-ranked Baylor on April 14.
Borg began her day by silencing the powerful Baylor bats by tossing a perfect seventh inning. Then in the
bottom of the inning, Borg recorded the first hit of her career, a one-out double. Her double ignited a
two-run inning and she also scored the Huskers' first run of the game, helping NU avoid being shutout
for just the third time this season.

Huskers Pick up Win No. 30
With a 5-0 win over South Dakota State in the second game of a doubleheader on April 12, Nebraska
improved to 30-6 on the season. It marked the ninth consecutive season that the Huskers have posted
30 victories in a season.
It took this year's team just 36 games to reach the 30-victory mark, tying the 2002 squad for the fastest
team to 30 wins in school history.

Yoachim Ties Sacrifice Record
Senior Jessica Yoachim recorded her 11th sacrifice of the season against 19th-ranked Baylor on April
15. She now has 41 in her career, which ties Gloria Von Rentzell's NU career record.
The sacrifice record marks the second school record for Yoachim. A two-time first-team All-Big 12
selection, Yoachim set a school record with five hits in a single game last season, a feat that was matched
by senior Lizzy Aumua this season.
Tannahill Sets Hit-by-Pitch Record
Senior Trisha Tannahill was hit by a pitch in the Huskers' 6-5 loss at Iowa State on Tuesday. That
marked the ninth time this season that Tannahill had been hit by a pitch, breaking a three-way tie and
giving her sole possession of the NU single-season record.
Tannahill has been hit by 16 pitches in her career, which is just two shy of Jane Kremer's school-record
total of 17.
Home Sweet Home
Nebraska is 15-1 at home this season after losing for the first time last Friday against 19th-ranked Baylor.
The 13-0 start marked the best home start in the five-year history of Bowlin Stadium. The previous best
start was 5-0 by the 2004 squad. In addition to the stellar start, the Huskers' 13-game home winning
streak was also the longest in the history of Bowlin Stadium. NU's 15 victories are already a single-season
Bowlin Stadium record.
The 13-game home winning streak also marked the second-longest for Nebraska since the 2000 season.
In 2000, Nebraska went a perfect 20-0 in the second-to-last year of the Nebraska Softball Complex.
Below is a year-by-year look at how many consecutive victories the Huskers posted to open their home
slate (games played at Bowlin Stadium only):

Scoring Clip
A 3-0 win over Florida A&M on March 11 gave the Huskers 100 runs scored in 17 games, making
this year's team the fastest squad in school history to score 100 runs. A 7-1 victory over Drake on
Thursday gave NU 200 runs scored in just 37 games, one shy of tying the 1996 squad for the fastest
team to score 200 runs in program history.
It took NU just seven games to total 50 runs as the 2006 Huskers also tied the school record for the
fewest number of games before reaching the 50-run plateau.
This season marks only the fourth year in school history that NU scored 100 runs in fewer than 20
games. It also marks only the second time in school history that Nebraska has scored 200 runs in fewer
than 40 games.
Below is a breakdown of the rate Nebraska has scored 50, 100 and 150 runs in the 14 year-tenure of
Head Coach Rhonda Revelle:

Powerful Performances
Juniors Carmen Kier (five home runs) and Devin Porter (seven home runs) have each hit more home
runs this season than their career total entering the year. Through 41 games this season, the pair have
combined to hit 12 home runs after combining to hit just three home runs in their first two seasons.
Kier homered at Iowa State on Tuesday and has nearly tripled her career total entering this season. Kier
belted two home runs in her redshirt freshman season of 2004 and did not hit a homer last season.
Porter, who recorded the first multi-homer game of her career with a pair of solo shots at Oklahoma
State on April 8, has seven home runs this season after hitting her first career home run at the end of last
season.

Husker Power
Nebraska's season home run total stands at 33 home runs in 41 games, easily eclipsing the entire 2005
season total (19 homers in 59 games).
Freshman Crystal Carwile leads the way with 11 home runs, including the second multi-homer game
of her career at Oklahoma State on April 9. Her first multi-homer game made her the first Husker since
Peaches James in 2004 to record a multi-homer game. Carwile's 11 home runs also mark the first time
a Husker has hit 10 or more home runs in a season since current volunteer assistant coach Amanda
Buchholz hit 12 in the 2003 season.
Junior Devin Porter ranks second on the team with a career-high seven home runs - including the first
multi-homer game of her career against Oklahoma State on April 8 - while fellow juniors Carmen Kier
(5) and Jamie Waldecker (4) rank third and fourth. Senior Trisha Tannahill has four homers and fellow
seniors Katie Linke and KoKo Tacha have each added one roundtripper.
NU had 12 home runs through seven games to open 2006, after taking 32 games in 2004 and 33
games in 2005 to reach the mark. The Huskers enjoy a 32-to-17 advantage in home runs over their
opponents. After the first weekend, NU enjoyed a 6-to-5 advantage, marking the first time since April
18, 2004, that Nebraska had more home runs than its opponents at any point during the season.
Nebraska homered in seven straight games to open the season, the longest stretch since NU homered
in 10 consecutive games March 10 through March 17, 2002. The Huskers also have produced nine
multi-home run games in 2006, after posting just one in 2005 and three in 2004. NU has produced
three individual multi-home run games on the year. Prior to this season, NU hitters had produced a
total of five multi-homer games in the last five years.
In league games only, Nebraska ranks in a tie for second in the Big 12 with 11 home runs. It took NU
just six games to surpass the 2005 team total of six homers in Big 12 play. Furthermore, Porter hit three
home runs in the first six games of conference action, surpassing the Huskers' individual leader from the
2005 season.

Chasing .400
Senior Lizzy Aumua is chasing a mark that hasn't
been reached at Nebraska in eight years. The mark
is a .400 season batting average and Aumua, who
is currently hitting .417, has a chance to reach it.
Three-time All-American Ali Viola was the last
Husker to hit .400 in a season. Viola hit .400 or
better three times in her career, including a .424
mark in 1998, which is the last time a Husker hit
.400 or better. All-American Anne Steffan chased
the .400 plateau last season, finishing with a .388
average, the sixth-best single-season mark in school
history and the highest average since Viola's .424
average in 1998.
Aumua is also chasing a .400 career batting
average. Her current career average is .396, which
ranks second all-time at Nebraska. Only Viola, who
hit .418 in her career, has posted a career average
of .380 or better in school history.
Nebraska is also chasing a team batting average
of .300 for only the third time in program history
and the first time since the 1996 squad hit .303.
NU currently boasts a .301 team average.
Strikeouts Way Down
Nebraska has seen a dramatic decline in its
offensive strikeout numbers this season, a product
of hard work and increased emphasis on discipline
at the plate.
Nebraska hitters have struck out 189 times
through the first 41 games, including just 29 times
in the last eight games. In contrast, NU had struck
out 246 times through the first 41 games of the
2005 season, when the Huskers finished with 364
strikeouts in 59 games. So far this year, Nebraska
has cut its strikeout total by nearly two per game.
The Huskers' 189 strikeouts are the lowest in
the Big 12 Conference. NU is averaging just 4.60
strikeouts per game. The only other league school
averaging less than five strikeouts per game is
defending regular-season champion Texas A&M
(4.53).
Fastest To 20 Wins in School History
The Huskers owned a 20-4 record through the
first 24 games of the 2006 season. That record
marked the best start in school history, as it took
the team only 24 games to record 20 victories. The
previous record was 25 games by the 2002 squad
that finished fifth at the WCWS.
Stolen Bases
Nebraska is just 2-for-4 in stolen base attempts
this week. NU has had successful streaks of 16 and
22 consecutive stolen bases this season.
On the season, NU has been successful on 66of-77 attempts, a success rate of 85 percent which
leads the Big 12 conference. Opponents have stolen
just 18 bases in 30 tries (60 percent).
At the current rate, this year's team has an outside chance to become just
the fifth squad in school history to record 100 stolen bases in a season. Last
year, the Huskers - who were led by All-American Anne Steffan's singleseason school-record 32 stolen bases - tallied 91 stolen bases in 108 attempts
(.843). The school record is 128 steals set by the 2002 Huskers.
Starting Strong
Nebraska has shown a penchant for taking command of its games in the
early innings this season. The Huskers have scored in the first inning in 22
of their 41 games (53 percent), including nine of the last 14. NU is 20-2 this
season when plating a run in the first frame.
In addition to the first-inning success, Nebraska has dominated its opponents
in the first four innings, as the Huskers have outscored their opponents 160-42
on the year. In innings five, six, seven and eight (NU has played one extrainning game this season), however, Nebraska has only outscored its opponent
by a 62-35 margin.
A breakdown of NU's run production this season is below:

Carwile Climbing Freshman HR Chart
Freshman Crystal Carwile's three home runs in the first five games of the
season were the most home runs by a Husker freshman since Nicole Trimboli
hit eight in the entire 2001 campaign. Carwile has since added eight more
homers - including one last week - to give her 11 on the season and the thirdhighest freshman total in school history. The school freshman record is 13 by
Ali Viola in 1995.
Carwile's 11 roundtrippers would have led the 2005 NU squad and her
total eclipses the home run total of all freshmen from the 2002, 2003, 2004
and 2005 seasons combined by two.
Below is a look at the freshman home run leader in each of the 14 years
that Head Coach Rhonda Revelle has guided the Huskers:

NU vs. Ranked Teams
Nebraska is 4-5 against ranked teams this season after splitting a two-game
series with No. 19 Baylor last weekend. Although the Huskers are sub-.500
against ranked teams, four of the nine games have come against top-10 foes
and five of the nine games have been on the road or at a neutral site.

The Plus-One Slapper Statistic
While statistics are designed to provide a good gauge of a player’s
success, most, if not all, statistics were designed with baseball in mind.
Most baseball-originated statistics translate well into the game of softball
since the sports share many basic similarities. One of the most unique
aspects of softball, however, is the slap-hitting approach speedy left-handed
hitters employ.
The objective of a slapper is usually to place the ball on the left side of
the infield, ideally with a high bounce, while taking a running start as the
pitch is being thrown. The theory is that with a head start and a slap to the
left side of the infield, the slapper will either beat the throw using her speed
or pressure the defense into committing an error.
The main objective of a slapper is to get on base, however the on-base
percentage statistic does not credit the hitter with reaching base via an
error.
With that in mind, the plus-one statistic wmade its debut this season
in Nebraska statistics. The plus-one will measure the number of times a
slapper reaches base because of an error created by her slapping ability
only.
The goal of this new statistic is the basic goal of any statistic - to provide
a good gauge of a player’s success. Since slappers aim to reach base and use
their speed and style to create defensive pressure as a means to reach base,
it is only fair that they be rewarded when the pressure they create directly
results in them reaching base.
The addition of the plus-one statistic is similar to the growing trend in
basketball to keep track of how many times a defensive player takes a charge.
That statistic is now being kept as a reward for those players who make a
play that takes the ball away from the other team and gives possession back
to his or her own team, essentially the definition of defense. Normally a
play of this nature would result in a steal for the defensive player, but the
steals statistic does not account for this occurance.
Below is a look at Nebraska’s four slappers and their average, on-base
percentage, plus-one totals and re-calculated on-base percentage with the
plus-one statistic taken into account:
Player..................... OB%....Plus-One . New OB%
Lizzy Aumua ........... .446........... 2.................. .455
Meghan Mullin ....... .438........... 0.................. .438

10. 1,031 (vs. Texas Tech, 4/17/05)
Nebraska has enjoyed 13 crowds of 1,000 or more people since Bowlin
Stadium opened in 2002 while averaging 18 home games per year. The
Huskers have ranked in the top 10 nationally in average attendance and
drawn more than 10,000 fans in each of the last three seasons.
Bowlin Stadium was also named the 2004 Field of the Year by the
SportsTurf Managers Association.
NU opened the season with a 7-3 loss to thenNo. 7 Stanford. The Huskers quickly rebounded
with an 8-2 victory over then-No. 15 Oregon State
immediately following the loss to the Cardinal.
Stanford has since moved into the top five of the
poll with a 24-4 record, while Oregon State has
moved up to seventh. The Beavers won 28 straight
games after losing to the Huskers, before falling to
No. 9 Arizona State last weekend. OSU is currently
28-3 on the season.
NU did not face another ranked opponent after
opening day until a three-run home run in lifted
then-No. 25 North Carolina to a 3-1 come-frombehind victory over the Huskers on March 10.
Nebraska lost a pair of close games to then-No.
3 and current No.2-ranked Texas to open Big 12
play the weekend of March 25. The Huskers' first
four league games came against ranked teams, as
NU also swept nationally-ranked Oklahoma before
splitting a pair with Baylor.
Big Innings
Nebraska, which has been scoring runs at a
record pace, has also been prone to producing big
innings this season. The Huskers have scored in 103
of 253 innings this season and have been shutout
just twice through the first 41 games of the season.
after being shutout 11 times in 2005.
In addition to the overall totals, Nebraska has
scored three or more runs in 32 different innings.
When the Huskers have scored a run in an inning,
they have added at least two more runs in the
frame in 31 percent of those innings. Even more
impressive is the fact that NU has scored five or
more runs in an inning on 10 occasions and seven
or more runs a whopping four times. In 2005,
Nebraska produced just one inning of seven or
more runs.
Aumua Records 100th Hit
Senior Lizzy Aumua, in her second year at
Nebraska after transfering from Mt. San Antonio
Junior College, collected her 100th hit with an
infield single in the bottom of the third inning in
the first game of a March 14 doubleheader with
Northern Colorado.
It took Aumua just 80 games and 239 at bats to
reach the milestone. Aumua is the second-fastest
player to reach the milestone in school history. Ali
Viola (1995 to 1998) was the fastest.
Aumua joins fellow seniors Jessica Yoachim
(155) and Trisha Tannahill (153) as current
Huskers with 100 or more career hits.
Tacha Off to Career-Best Start
Senior KoKo Tacha is having a career year in
her final season as a Husker. Tacha has already
surpassed some career highs and is approaching
her single-season career highs in nearly every
offensive category.
Tacha is hitting .258 in a career-high 35 starts
this season. She has hit five doubles and one triple
and produced 24 hits and 18 RBIs, all of which
are new career bests. She also boasts one home
4 Page 9
run and three stolen bases, which ties her singleseason career best. Tacha is just one walk shy of
tying her career high.
DeBuhr in Control
Junior right-hander Ashley DeBuhr has been
in control in the circle this season. She has shown
great command of the strike zone, registering
185 strikeouts against just 23 walks to post a
strikeout-to-walk ratio of better than 8-to-1.
Triple Your Pleasure
Nebraska has hit nine triples through the
first 41 games this season. In 2005, the Huskers
produced a total of three triples in 59 games.
Program Records 1,000th Victory
Husker softball became the first women's sport
at the University of Nebraska to reach the 1,000win plateau with a 1-0 victory over Kent State on
March 12 at the Florida State Invitational.
Nebraska became the fifth Big 12 school to
reach the milestone. Kansas was the fourth league
school to win 1,000 games during the 2005 season.
NU narrowly became the fifth school as Missouri,
sitting on 999 all-time victories, suffered a loss on
the same day Nebraska recorded the mark. The
Tigers have since reached the plateau to become
the sixth league school to reach the milestone.
The victory was even more special to NU Head
Coach Rhonda Revelle and Associate Head Coach
Lori Sippel. Both coaches also played at Nebraska
and together they have combined to be a part of
849 of NU's 1,017 victories (83 percent).
Monumental Weekend
The weekend of March 10-12 proved to be a
monumental three days for the 2006 Nebraska
softball team and the history of the Husker
program.
With a 3-0 win over Florida A&M March 10,
the 2006 squad became the fastest team to score
100 runs in the 31-year history of NU softball.
In the final game of the tournament on
March 12, the Huskers captured the consolation
championship of the Gold Bracket with a 1-0
victory over Kent State. That win marked the
1,000 all-time victory in program history, making
softball the first women's sport at Nebraska to
reach the 1,000-win plateau.
The victory also gave the 2006 Huskers a 16-4
record after 20 games, tying the 2002 squad for
the best 20-game start in the history of Nebraska
softball.
In the Zone
Nebraska pitchers dominated the Northern
Colorado lineup in the Huskers' doubleheader
sweep on March 14. Junior right-hander Ashley
DeBuhr tossed a one-hit shutout and struck
out 13 in a five-inning win in the opener and
freshman right-hander Molly Hill struck out 17
while allowing just one run in the nightcap.

Thirty-six outs were recorded in the two games,
with 30 of those outs coming via the strikeout (83
percent).
Huskers Explode for 21 Runs
After a 12-day layoff, the Huskers exploded for
seven first-inning runs, eight more in the second
and five more in the third en route to a 21-1 rout
of Illinois on the first day of the NFCA Leadoff
Classic on Feb. 24.
The 21 runs were the second-most in school
history (23 is the school record) and marked only
the second time in program history that Nebraska
scored 20 or more runs in a single game. The
Huskers batted around in each of the first three
innings and finished with 16 hits.
NU also pounded out four home runs by four
different players. The four-homer game marked
the first time since March 13, 1998 against
Bowling Green - a span of 484 games - that the
Huskers had four players hit a home run in the
same game.
The 21 runs and 20-run margin of defeat were
both the largest in the history of Illinois softball,
while the Huskers also set and tied several NFCA
Leadoff Classic records in the 11th year of the
annual prestigious event.
Nebraska's 21 runs were a new Leadoff Classic
record, as were the Huskers four home runs. Junior
Jamie Waldecker established a new tournament
record with six RBIs in the win, while senior Lizzy
Aumua also earned a spot in the record book with
five hits.
Back-to-Back in Back-to-Back
Nebraska hit back-to-back home runs in
consecutive games on the first - and only - day of
the NFCA Leadoff Classic Feb. 24.
In a 21-1 rout of Illinois, freshman Crystal
Carwile and senior Trisha Tannahill belted backto-back home runs in the top of the first inning.
Then in the bottom of the first in the second game
of the day against Florida Atlantic, junior Jamie
Waldecker and Carwile hit back-to-back solo
shots.
Tannahill and Carwile were the first Huskers to
hit back-to-back home runs since Katie Linke and
Peaches James accomplished the feat on March
27, 2004 at Oklahoma State.
Tannahill and Carwile again hit back-to-back
home runs in the first inning of Nebraska's 3-0
win over 17th-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday.
Carwile Opens Career with a Bang
Freshman Crystal Carwile not only got off to
a tremendous start to the 2006 season, but an
incredible start to her Husker career in the first
tournament of her rookie season.
Carwile went 1-for-6 with an RBI in her first
day, before exploding onto the scene on day two,
and finished the tournament as the Huskers'
cleanup hitter and boasting a .375 average, three
4 Page 10
home runs, seven RBIs and a 1.000 slugging
percentage.
The Chino, Calif., native opened the second
day of her career with a 1-for-3 effort against Cal
State Northridge that included her first career
home run. Carwile then put together possibly the
greatest single-game performance by a freshman
hitter in school history.
Hitting in the No. 4 spot for the first time,
Carwile quickly produced with an RBI double
in the first inning against Utah State. Following
a ground out in her next at bat, Carwile belted
a solo home run in the fifth inning and secured
a Husker victory with a three-run shot in the
seventh. She finished the game 3-for-4 with five
RBIs.
Carwile closed her first weekend at Nebraska
on a three-game hitting streak, finishing 1-for-3
against Nevada in the final game of the Kajikawa
Classic.
Hill Brilliant in Career Debut
While Crystal Carwile was making an
immediate impact at the plate as a freshman
during the season-opening Kajikawa Classic Feb.
10-12, Molly Hill stepped into the circle and
produced in her first career tournament as well.
Hill appeared in four games at the tournament
- including two starts - and posted a 3-0 record
with a 1.53 ERA. In the first start of her career,
Hill tossed a complete game and allowed just two
runs in an 8-2 victory over 15th-ranked Oregon
State. The Wayne, Neb., native then earned
a win by tossing four innings of one-hit relief
against Cal State Northridge and followed that
performance with a victory against Utah State.
Hill was the pitcher of decision in three straight
games, earning the victory in each of those
contests.
Hill allowed just four earned runs in 18.1
innings in her first weekend of competition. She
also struck out 18, while walking just five.
Freshmen Contributions
While Crystal Carwile and Molly Hill have
made the biggest impact of Nebraska's six-player
freshman class, all six newcomers made their
career debuts in their first weekend as a Husker.
Meghan Mullin has made a significant impact,
starting 12 games and hitting .250 with seven
runs scored this year. Catcher Brittany Pascale has
earned 22 starts and is also hitting .254.
Kimberly Fuller has earned one start and is
2-for-11 with two runs scored and two RBIs.
Darcy Rutherford has not earned a start, but has
appeared in 20 games and has scored three runs
while going 0-for-3 at the plate.
DeBuhr Eclipses 500-Strikeout Mark
Junior right-hander Ashley DeBuhr struck
out 11 Sooners in a 9-1 run-rule victory over
17th-ranked Oklahoma on April 1. Her seventh
strikeout of the game was the 500th of her career.
DeBuhr also reached the 400-strikeout mark
this season when she struck out nine in a fiveinning victory over Illinois on Feb. 24. Her
fifth strikeout of the game was the 400th of her
career, making DeBuhr the fifth player in school
history to reach the mark. DeBuhr set the NU
sophomore record with 335 Ks in 2005.
Revelle Reaches Another Milestone
Head Coach Rhonda Revelle reached
another career milestone on the second day of
the Huskers’ season-opening Kajikawa Classic
on Feb. 11. When Nebraska defeated Utah
State 7-3 in its fourth game of the weekend, it
marked Revelle’s 800th game as head coach of
the Huskers. Revelle, who pitched for NU from
1981-83, played in 128 career games and has
currently been associated with 959 of NU’s 1,567
all-time games (61 percent).
RBIs in Bunches
Three Huskers have produced five or more
RBIs in a single game on four occasions this
season, each occuring in the first 14 games of
the season. Prior to this season, a total of four
Huskers had produced five or more RBIs in a
game in the past five years.
Junior Devin Porter has a five- and six-RBI
game to her credit, while fellow junior Jamie
Waldecker also has a six-RBI game. Freshman
Crystal Carwile has also produced a five-RBI
game. The school record for most RBIs in a single
game is seven, set by Jenny Smith in 1996.
Porter produced five RBIs in consecutive at
bats against 15th-ranked Oregon State in the
second game of the season. She hit a two-run
single in the top of the third inning and belted
her second career home run - a three-run shot
- one inning later.
Carwile matched the feat the next day when
she drove in five against Utah State. Carwile had
an RBI double in the first inning, a solo home run
in the fifth and a three-run homer in the seventh
to give her five RBIs in the game.
Before Porter's performance, Nebraska had
not had a player produce a five-RBI game in
109 games. Porter and Carwile are also the first
Husker teammates to have a five-RBI day in the
same season since Nicole Trimboli and Amber
Burgess accomplished the feat 29 games apart in
the 2002 season.
Junior Jamie Waldecker added a six-RBI game
against Illinois at the NFCA Leadoff Classic on
Feb. 24, two games after Porter's performance.
Against Northern Iowa on March 5, Porter
drove in six runs in consecutive at bats. She hit
her first career grand slam in the third inning,
then belted a two-run double in the fourth.
Keen to Redshirt
Sophomore right-hander Jordan Keen is
redshirting this season in an effort to rehab a
nagging back injury. Keen posted solid numbers
in her freshman season, going 9-2 with a team-best
1.57 ERA last year. She also ranked second on the
team with two shutouts, eight complete games,
89.0 innings pitched and 68 strikeouts.
The Nebraska Circle
With Florida native Jordan Keen redshirting this
season, the Huskers have three active pitchers on
their 2006 staff, and each player is a home-grown
talent as a native Nebraskan.
Returning All-Big 12 performer Ashley DeBuhr
hails from Beatrice, while fellow junior Jaime Borg
is a Lincoln native. Freshman Molly Hill comes to
Lincoln from Wayne, Neb.
The 17-player Nebraska roster boasts a total of
five natives of the Cornhusker State, with three of
those players working in the circle.
NU Features Returning All-Big 12 Talent
The 2006 Nebraska softball team boasts
plenty of talent and experience, but the Huskers
also feature four players who have garnered six
combined All-Big 12 accolades in their careers.
Senior Jessica Yoachim highlights the decorated
returnees, as she has earned first-team All-Big 12
honors in each of the past two seasons and aims
for her third consecutive accolade in 2006. Fellow
senior Trisha Tannahill has also earned a pair of
nods to the All-Big 12 squad in her career. Tannahill
earned first-team honors as a sophomore and was
a second-team pick last season.
The junior battery of catcher Jamie Waldecker
and right-hander Ashley DeBuhr have also been
recognized as two of the best in the league. One
of the best batteries in the league and perhaps the
nation, Waldecker burst onto the Big 12 scene as
a freshman in 2004 and took home second-team
All-Big 12 honors. After tossing only 36.2 innings
as a freshman behind second-team All-American
Peaches James in 2004, DeBuhr was a secondteam All-Big 12 pick last year, throwing the third
perfect game in school history and becoming just
the second pitcher in NU history to strike 300
batters in a single season.
NU Picked to Finish Fifth in Big 12
In a preseason vote of the Big 12 coaches,
Nebraska was picked to finish fifth in the league.
Texas A&M, which claimed the regular-season
crown in 2005, was the coaches' pick to win the
league. Texas, last season's Big 12 Tournament
champion, was tabbed as the No. 2 team in
the league. Baylor and Oklahoma, respectively,
rounded out the schools picked to finish ahead of
the Huskers.
Each of the schools picked to finish ahead of
Nebraska advanced past regional play in the 2005
NCAA tournament and is currently ranked in the
NFCA/USA Today top 25 poll.
Nebraska finished seventh in the Big 12 in
2005 with a 9-9 record after being picked to finish
fifth in the coaches 2005 preseason poll.

Revelle Adds Title to Résumé
Head Coach Rhonda Revelle added the title of
Senior Woman Administrator to her resume in
January when she replaced the Dr. Barbara Hibner who hired Revelle to coach the Huskers - following
Hibner's retirement at the end of 2005.
With the administrative role, Revelle becomes the
only coach in any sport in the Big 12 Conference
to serve as an athletic administrator in addition to
his or her coaching duties.
Revelle was also re-named president of the
National Fastpitch Coaches Association in
December after Mona Stevens stepped down as
head coach of the Utah Utes. NFCA rules state
that the organization's president much also be a
current head coach. When Stevens stepped down as
coach, she subsequently relinquished her position
as NFCA president. Per NFCA Rules, the former
president was then re-named to the position.
Revelle, who served as NFCA President from
1999 to 2002, was appointed the new president
after Stevens was removed.
Sixteen NCAA Bids and Counting
Nebraska softball is in an elite class when it
comes to postseason play. The Huskers are one
of nine teams to appear in the past 11 NCAA
Tournaments. Nebraska also has a strong history of
earning high seeds in the tournament. In the eight
seasons prior to the format switch that occured in
2005, Nebraska earned a No. 2 seed or higher in
the NCAA Regional every season. The only other
teams that accomplished the feat were Arizona,
Michigan, Oklahoma and Washington.
Overall, NU has earned 16 NCAA Tournament
bids, tying Texas A&M for the most berths of any
Big 12 school. The Huskers have also advanced to
the College World Series seven times.
Nebraska also has a strong history of hosting
regionals at Bowlin Stadium. The Huskers have
been awarded an NCAA Regional in each of the last
three seasons and four of the last five years.
Big 12 Dominance
By capturing both the Big 12 regular-season and
tournament crowns in 2004, the Nebraska softball
program is tied with Texas, the 2005 tournament
champ, for the most conference championships of
any of the 10 league schools.
NU has won a league-high three regular-season
championships and three tournament titles.
Nebraska is also the only school to boast a
perfect record in league play since the Big 12 was
formed in 1996, going 16-0 in 1998.
Ranking Near the Top
Nebraska finished the 2005 season with a No.
25 final ranking in the USA Today/NFCA Coaches
poll. The final ranking marked the 10th consecutive
season the Huskers finished the year among the top
25. Nebraska is one of only six teams in the nation
- and one of only two in the Big 12 Conference
- to be ranked in the final poll in each of its 11
years of existence.
Huskers Excelling in the Pros
Three former Huskers were named all-stars
in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league last
summer. The Huskers’ total of three players in the
game trailed only UCLA for the most selections
among all colleges and universities in the nation.
Former Huskers Peaches James (2001-04),
Nicole Trimboli (2001-04) and Anne Steffan
(2002-05) were each named all-stars.
Trimboli's Akron Racers and Steffan's Chicago
Bandits met for the NPF title, with Akron winning
5-4 led by an RBI from Trimboli.
Olympic Connections
Associate Head Coach Lori Sippel was named
Head Coach of Team Canada in March of 2005
and will lead Canada in the 2008 Olympic
Games.
In her short tenure as head coach of Team
Canada, Sippel has already guided the Canadians
to great success. At the World Cup of Softball in
July of 2005, Sippel led the Canadians to a 2-1
upset of the United States, handing the Americans
their first loss in international play since 2002.
Sippel aslo guided Canada to a second-place
finish at the 2005 Pan-American Qualifying
Tournament that guaranteed the Canadian
National Team a spot in the 2006 World
Championships.
One of Sippel's star players is former Husker
player and current undergraduate assistant coach
Sheena Lawrick. Lawrick was selected to the 2004
Canadian Olympic Team despite recovering from
a torn anterior cruciate ligament when the team
was announced.
A native of Calgary, Alberta, Lawrick started
two games for the Canadians, who finished the
2004 Olympics with a 3-4 record, which tied
for the country's best showing ever. Lawrick also
produced both RBIs in Canada's upset victory
over Team USA.
At the 2004 Olympics, Sippel joined Lawrick
in Athens as a broadcaster for the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation. Sippel was a member
of the 1996 Canadian National Team that also
went 3-4 in the inaugural softball competition at
the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga.
Head of the Class
Nebraska leads all Division I softball programs
with 22 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards
won by 15 players.
NU is the only school with more than 20
academic All-America awards, and the only Big
12 school ranked in the top 10. The College of
New Jersey boasts 18 selections to rank second in
the nation.
Revelle Wins 500th Games
Head Coach Rhonda Revelle posted her 500th
career victory and 500th win at Nebraska during
the 2005 season. Revelle is only the third coach in
school history to record 500 career victories and the
first female coach to reach the milestone.
