The Omaha, Neb., native has made 18 starts and has played in all but three games for Nebraska. Wallace has made starts at four different positions this season, including pitcher (four starts), third base (five starts), designated player (seven starts) and left field (two starts). Wallace is one of two players to make starts at more than two positions this season and the only one to make starts at four different positions. OWEN HELPING HUSKER OFFENSE During the opening weekend, junior Pacific transfer Samantha Owen made one plate played in to games and went 0-for-1 at the plate. However, after some successful plate appearances the following weekend, she s found a starting spot in the Husker lineup. Since the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Owen has played in all games. Her batting average has improved to.302, which ranks fourth on the team. Owen ranks second in the conference with an on-base percentage of.449. Most recently, Owen went 2-for-6 with one run and a homer against No. 25 Michigan last weekend. MADI UNZICKER IS GETTING ON BASE From Feb. 8 to March 16, senior infielder Madi Unzicker reached base for 19 straight which was the longest by a Husker since All-Amercian MJ Knighten got on base 21 straight times in 2017. One reason Unzicker has been so successful is because isn t afraid to use her body to get on base...literally. The Omaha, Neb., native has been hit five times this season which ranks fifth in the conference. The five this season bring her career total to 18. She is just one away from moving into the top 10 on Nebraska s all-time hit by pitch list. CAREER HIT BY PITCHES 1. Taylor Edwards, 2011-14...39 2. Julie Brechtel, 2008-11...34 3.

However, Simmons has bounced back quickly and is performing quite well since getting back in the starting lineup. Simmons started the first 10 games, but was unable to start the following eight games. However, she s been back in the starting lineup for the last eight games and is hitting.333 in that stretch, an improvement from her.275 season average.

Edwards has two 4-for-4 games at the plate this season, most recently against Tulsa in game one of the Rock Chalk Challenge. Edwards also leads the team with nine home runs, which is tied for second in the conference. Edwards needs two home runs to rank in the top 10 on Nebraska s career home runs list.
