She batted.263 in 43 games and had 31 hits, with 12 doubles and five homers. She totaled 29 RBIs and finished the season with a slugging percentage of the highest of her career.

NEBRASKA NICE The 2018 Husker roster includes eight native Nebraskans, which ties for the most in Rhonda Revelle s 26 seasons as Nebraska s head coach. Half of the group is in the freshman class and another three are seniors.

Bri Cassidy (catcher) and Laura Barrow (second base) return. Madi Unzicker - who didn t play last season due to injury - will takeover at first. Tristen Edwards will play shortstop for the first time in her career. Alexis Perry and Lexey Kneib are replacing All-American third baseman MJ Knighten NCAA TEAMS HIGHLIGHT SCHEDULE Nebraska is slated to play 16 of its 56 games against 2017 NCAA Tournament teams (27 percent).

This includes four teams that advanced to the 2017 Women s College World Series - Washington, UCLA, Texas A&M and defending national champion Oklahoma. NEWCOMERS IN 2018 With the addition of five freshmen and junior college transfer Regan Mergele, almost onethird of the 2018 roster consists of new faces. FERRELL MAKES HISTORY Olivia Ferrell became the first Husker freshman pitcher to start a season opener against a ranked opponent when she kicked off the season against No. 19 BYU on Feb. 9. She also became the first Husker freshman to pitch and bat in a season opener. EDWARDS EARNS B1G HONOR Sophomore Tristen Edwards became the first Husker to be named conference player of the week twice in the same season since 2012 (Brook Thomason) and the third Husker ever to win the award back-to-back weeks (Lisa Wangler, 2003, Big 12 and Ruth Chatwin, 1989, Big Eight). Edwards earned Big Ten Player of the Week on Feb. 12 and Feb. 19. REVELLE RECORDS WIN 950 AT NU On March 9, Nebraska beat Green Bay and Northern Iowa in Lawrence, Kan., at the Jayhawk Invitational.

3 HUSKERS NEBRASKA NOTES ALL HANDS ON DECK Nebraska s 20-person roster has been utilized to the fullest extent so far this season. Through 22 games, every healthy player has seen the field. Nebraska has used several different lineups and batting orders in all of its games. Additionally, seven different positions have seen a player make her first-career start. Also, Sarah Yocom got her first-career at bat against Wichita State on March 4, which means that every healthy Husker hitter has made at least one plate appearance this season. Yocom also played on defense for the first time in her career, coming in the game to play second base. She had appeared previously, but only as a pinch runner.additionally, all but two of those hitters have recorded a hit this season. HUSKER HOME RUNS In the first three weekends of the season, Nebraska was averaging almost one home run per game, but in the home-opening weekend the Husker bats went quiet. There wasn t a single home run in the Wichita State series, but things picked up again at the Jayhawk Invitational. NU hit four homers in three games last weekend.

She entered the 2018 season as the only Husker pitcher to have significant experience in the circle and was expected to be a leader for the pitching staff. The Omaha, Neb., native has embraced the role. Jablonski has the save or win in 13 of the Huskers 17 wins this season. Additionally, her four saves are more than the rest of the Big Ten teams have combined. At the plate, Jablonski ranks in the top three with a batting average of.351 and a slugging percentage of.597. She also is tied for first on the team with one triple. She ranks second in homers (four), doubles (five) and RBIs (12). She is also currently on a seven-game hitting streak. HOT HITTING EDWARDS Sophomore infielder Tristen Edwards has been a terror at the plate for opposing teams this season. She leads the starters with a.372 batting average and a.654 slugging percentage. She also leads the team in home runs (seven), doubles (seven) and RBIs (20). She s had at least one hit in all but six games this season and she s had 10 multi-hit games this season.

This is the second time this season Nebraska has faced a team for the first time ever, after taking on Seattle in the opening weekend. The Huskers beat Seattle, 3-2. Overall, Nebraska is (.759) in first-time meetings. MINIMIZING ERRORS The Huskers fielding percentage is at an alltime high so far this season at.979. If Nebraska continues this pace, it would set the school record for fielding percentage, as the current record is.973. Despite having almost a completely different infield from last year, that at times includes five first-years at respective positions, the Huskers have just 14 errors through 24 games. Last season, NU had 33 errors through 24 games and was fielding.947. Addtionally, the Huskers rank second in the conference in fielding percentage, and 15th nationally.
