Nebraska Softball Recap: Nebraska 3 Utah Valley 2
| Huskers hold off Utah Valley in the final inning to end the Puerto Vallarta Challenge with a win The Huskers entered today hungry for another win to get back to .500 this season. They ended the Puerto Vallarta Challenge with a win over a Utah Valley. This is a team who came close to beating Washington after the Huskies had blown the Huskers out 8-0.

HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap: Nebraska 7 – Long Beach State 2
| The Huskers were 0-2 with shaky pitching and dead bats and “The Beach” waiting for them. The Andrews sisters and Kaylin Kinney said, “We got this.” The 3rd inning curse was finally broken and broken in a big way. In the bottom of the 7th against Duke in the previous game, Billie Andrews had blasted a leadoff HR to break up an 11-inning scoreless streak and a Duke no-hitter. She kept her bat white hot with a triple to start the bottom of the first.... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap: Duke 6 – Nebraska 1
| The Huskers were hoping for a reset on Friday. It didn’t happen. If the 6-run/Jordy injury 3rd inning of Thursday night’s game against Washington was a production of “Well, That Escalated Quickly”, the first of Friday’s two games was more like Death By a Thousand Papercuts as Duke mostly silenced Husker bats again and just chipped and chipped until they had defeated Nebraska 6-1 After the opening game of the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge at Nancy Almaraz Field turned from a beautiful night at the... |

Friday Flakes: The NCAA Continues to Lose Legitimacy
| Kris Craig / USA TODAY NETWORK The next time you hear that a football coach “failed to cooperate” with the NCAA during an investigation just remember that the NCAA appears to be expect more from a search than the FBI. A recent, real-life example of the NCAA’s outrageous investigative methods and what coaches are forced to endure to avoid being sanctioned by the NCAA for “failure to cooperate” unless they acquiesce to these overtly invasive intimidation tactics. pic.twitter.com/mK3XtkdXgP — Tom Mars (@TomMarsLaw) February 8, 2024... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Season Opener: Washington 8 Nebraska 0: We’d Like a Do-Over
| Washington is a Top 10 team who is expected to return to Oklahoma City, but this was not how the ladies wanted to start. (More info to follow if it becomes available.) At their fan day last Saturday, the Huskers oozed confidence and had the air of a team who couldn’t wait for the season to start against the #7 Washington Huskies, a 2023 Women’s College World Series qualifier. After Thursday night’s game ended, there were probably a few who would’ve been fine if the... |
Nebraska Baseball 2024 Preview: Outfield
| Nebraska Athletic Department What will Swansen do for an encore? Our preview series continues with a look at the 2024 Husker outfield. Check out our previous looks at the coaching staff changes, and the infield. Unlike the infield, the outfield should have a pretty settled lineup, initially. The corner outfielders should be extremely recognizable to fans. While the man roaming centerfield is a new addition, he should quickly become a mainstay near the top of the lineup. The outfield is the oldest, most experienced part... |

Thursday Flakes: Lunar New Year, Home Swaps and Digital Nomads
| Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto via Getty Images Enter the Dragon. Yesterday I realized that the Nebraska Softball Team is opening their season just a 5.5-hour drive away from me in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I wish I had known about this earlier. That’s what happened when you’re too busy organizing a trivia night and starting a new business in Mexico. Well it should be an exciting weekend for everyone as we ring in the Year of the Dragon. How many conference road games will Nebraska Men’s... |

Nebraska Men’s Basketball Recap: Northwestern Dominates Nebraska 80-68
| Ron Johnson-USA TODAY Sports Another awful road conference game that the score was closer than it really was… First Half Analysis: Nebraska’s road woes are an absolute thing of horrendous beauty. After what was easily their best road performance in conference play at Illinois, Nebraska could not have come out any flatter at Northwestern. Nebraska would be down 47-31 at half. Boo Buie (who I believe is reaching the Brad Davison age for oldest player in NCAA Basketball history) started out this contest with a... |
