Looking to the Future: The New Husker Class Nebraska welcomed three newcomers to its roster this season: freshmen Erin Davis, Brittnee Habbib and Stephanie Seich. While Seich has been sidelined with an injury, Habbib and Davis have stepped up to fill in NU s injury-challenged lineup in Habbib was utilized as an all-arounder in the weekend of her collegiate debut and was a refreshing addition to the bars and beam teams. At Iowa State, she stole the show on beam, tying for runner-up honors with fellow Husker Maria Scaffidi, as the duo contributed a pair of 9.85s. On Feb. 23 against Denver, Habbib tied teammate Desire Sniatynski for third on beam (9.85). A former member of the Canadian Senior National Team, Habbib brings impressive international experience to NU. The North York, Ontario, native and product of Gemini Gymnastics represented Canada at the 2006 World Championships and the 2007 Pan Am Games, leading the Canadian team to a bronze medal. Habbib also took home fifth-place honors in the all-around at the 2006 Canadian National Championships. Davis served as a vault specialist for the first half of the season but has since stepped into the floor lineup as well. She made her floor debut against Denver, notching a 9.80, and added a 9.75 last weekend at Kentucky. On Jan. 25 against Mizzou, Davis earned a career-high to tie for fourth with Tricia Woo. A former Level 10 gymnast, Davis has drawn early comparisons to Emily Parsons from the Nebraska coaching staff, who noted her power and tumbling skills on vault and floor. A former international elite competitor, Seich comes to Lincoln from Rebound Gymnastics in New Brunswick, N.J. She qualified to the 2005 U.S. Classic as a senior, and as a junior international elite competitor in 2004, she finished 13th in the all-around at the U.S. Classic and 18th in the all-around at the U.S. Championships. Scaffidi Emerges Strong as All-Arounder in 2008 Sophomore Maria Scaffidi has starred for the Huskers in an all-around role this season, starting with the first individual crown of her career with a first-place finish (39.00) at Iowa State. Against Missouri, Scaffidi topped her career high set in the Huskers opening weekend and finished fourth with a Scaffidi also placed fifth on floor (9.825) and sixth on beam (9.80) and vault (9.85). Against Denver, she achieved a career-high on bars to finish only behind Desire Sniatynski (9.90). As a freshman in 2007, Scaffidi was integral to Nebraska s run in the preliminary session of the NCAA Championships, where her career-best 9.85 vault helped propel NU to the Super Six Finals.
