Above: The Nebraska soccer program has been built on the strong support from top coaches and players, including (from left): Coach John Walker, who has guided NU to a 236-91-21 record in the past 16 years; Lindsay Eddleman, a second-team All-American forward in 1996; Jenny Benson, a first-team All-American defender in 2000; and Brittany Timko, a three-time Big 12 Player of the Year.

Right: The Nebraska soccer program has won eight Big 12 championships, including a league-leading five conference tournament titles. NU’s five Big 12 tournament titles came in 1996, 1998 (right), 1999 (left), 2000 and 2002. The Huskers also claimed regular-season crowns in 1996, 1999 and 2000.

Since its inaugural season in 1994, Nebraska soccer has grown into one of the most respected and successful programs in the Big 12 Conference and around the nation. Head Coach John Walker came to Nebraska in April of that year on a mission to construct national championship-caliber teams, and in 16 seasons Walker has developed a program that consistently competes among the elite in collegiate soccer.

In less than two decades, Nebraska has earned 236 wins and made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances. In that time, the Huskers have also won a league-best five Big 12 Tournament titles and had 43 student-athletes earn first-team All-Big 12 honors. Nebraska’s athletes consistently go on to find success at the next level of soccer as professional and national team players. In fact, three former Huskers are currently playing in the Women’s Professional Soccer league.

One of the reasons Nebraska has been able to develop such a successful program is the level of dedication shown by the University. From its humble beginnings off campus at the Abbott Sports Complex, the soccer program now enjoys state-of-the-art facilities, including administrative offices, locker rooms and indoor training areas, located in the heart of campus. With a wealth of support and a history of success, Nebraska soccer expects to contend for championships in the years to come.

Soccer FacilitiesThe home of the Huskers, the Nebraska Soccer Field and its surrounding facilities provide NU players with every tool needed to be successful. Since moving on campus for the first time in school history in 2005, the Huskers have played the past four seasons on the field, which is located off the northeast corner of Memorial Stadium in the Ed Weir Track. The facility features seating for at least 3,500.

The field is also located directly next to the Hawks Championship Center, which houses new offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms and indoor practice facilities for the Husker soccer program. Nebraska is one of the few schools in the nation with all of its soccer facilities located on campus.

Study HallThere are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska. Student-athletes either attend a structured study hall, typically two hours in length held four days a week, or have flex time where they study a specific number of hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff.

MentoringMany student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies.

Educational AssessmentsAssessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Multi-Cultural ProgramsDesigned to enhance cultural awareness, staff members concentrate efforts on issues of transition, adjustment and retention for students of color, international students and women.

These support programs include Ladies First, International Night and Your Degree First. Your Degree First is a program designed to assist, motivate and promote minority student-athletes in pursuing the degree of their choice.

Right: Construction will be completed this fall on a new $10.5 million Nebraska Student Life Complex that will nearly triple the size of the current academic space, as well as feature a new technology center and a dedicated Life Skills area.

Student-Athlete OrientationThe academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations are made by academic counselors, compliance officials, NU faculty and administrators, business/community professionals and student-athletes.

Personal CounselingStudent-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.

Computer ResourcesStudent-athletes enjoy a new state-of-the art computer lab and technology center with nearly 60 computers and professional supervision. Laptops are also available during team travel. Student-athletes have the benefit of ongoing education and assistance from a full-time computer technician.

2010 NEBRASKA SOCCER I HUSKERS.COM

Following its 15th winning season in the past 16 years and a fourth-place Big 12 finish, Nebraska brings back nine starters for the 2010 season and is poised to make a run at the top of the conference. The Huskers are five years removed from their last NCAA Tournament appearance (2005), but possess reasons for optimism this fall. Among the bright spots this coming season is the return of 2009 Big 12 Offensive Player and Rookie of the Year Morgan Marlborough. As a freshman, Marlborough led the league with 21 goals and guided Nebraska to an 11-5-4 season. She is joined by another all-conference selection in junior midfielder/forward Molly Thomas. Together, the duo accounted for 47 percent of Nebraska’s scoring last season, which ranked second in the NCAA with 3.10 goals per game. The explosive offense carried the Huskers to a 6-1-2 non-conference record and 5-3-2 mark in league play. For the first time since 2001, Nebraska was not defeated on its home field, a dominance that included a 2-1 upset over No. 14 Texas A&M when Marlborough scored both goals. The Huskers’ unbeaten home mark was in jeopardy in the last game of the regular season, but Thomas led the Huskers back from a 1-0 deficit to down Iowa State. The Omaha native scored the game-tying goal in the 72nd minute and then assisted Lauren Isenhower’s game-winner in overtime. The Senior Day victory marked the departure of six players from the Nebraska soccer program. Included in the group were three starters - All-Big 12 defender Carly Peetz, midfielder Anna Caniglia and forward Shay Powell. While their contributions and success will be missed, the 2010 Huskers will focus on replacing those roles with experienced veterans or talented newcomers and add to a solid returning corps of eight starters. Offensively, in addition to Marlborough and Thomas, Nebraska brings back sophomore midfielder/forward Jordan Jackson after her five-goal, three-assist freshman campaign, and senior midfielder Colleen Goetzmann,

who had a breakout junior season come to a sudden end due to a torn ACL in late September. In all, the Husker offense returns 70 percent of its goals (43-of-62 goals) and 60 percent of its assists (34-of-57) from last season. Caniglia was the team leader with nine assists in 2009, but Marlborough and Thomas each accounted for seven, followed by defender Blair Slapper with six. Slapper and senior defender Brittany Goosen will have the responsibility of maintaining a strong backline following the loss of Peetz. After giving up 1.65 goals per game last year, the Huskers also return a healthy goalkeeper in Tara Macdonald. The senior has battled foot injuries the past two years but could be one of the Big 12’s top goalies if she can avoid further injuries this season. The 2010 senior class also includes experienced defender/forward Jaclyn White and forward Michaella Fulmer. The Huskers suffered an early season setback when Fulmer tore her ACL at the beginning of fall camp, although the coaching staff is optimistic she will return in 2011 following a medical redshirt season. While the absence of Fulmer may mark the loss of a potential starter, the depth of the forward position is a spot where the Huskers look to remain strong behind Marlborough. Nebraska has shown many signs of a program with resurgence over the past two seasons. The Huskers hold a 21-10-5 record that dates back to September 2008 and includes three wins over ranked opponents. The return of eight talented starters and two All-Big 12 selections could be the further key ingredients to continue the climb up the conference ladder and back to the NCAA Tournament.

Forwards Nebraska looks to have one of the best forward groups in the Big 12 Conference with Marlborough leading the charge. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., native ranked fifth in the NCAA with 21 goals last season. Her record-breaking freshman season included two hat tricks (vs. Akron and

Oklahoma), the first in which she tied the single-game school record with four goals. Marlborough’s goal-scoring ability (1.11 per game) was an integral part of NU’s success, as the Huskers held an 8-0-3 record when she found the back of the net. Marlborough is a complete offensive force with seven assists, tying her with Thomas for the third-most on the team in 2009. Thomas is expected to see time as a forward, but may also see her role shifted to the midfield due to her quickness and ability to set up offensive opportunities down the sidelines and in the corners. Jackson could see a similar role to Thomas after tallying three assists in 14 starts last season. Junior Alexa Cardona is coming back from an injury-plagued season last fall and will attempt to gain playing time as a forward. Cardona only appeared in 11 games following a redshirt year in 2008, but competed for the Puerto Rican National Team over the summer and returns healthy. True freshmen Megan Merrill and Maddie Hanssler will also look for playing time at the forward position.

Midfielders Thomas, Jackson and senior Colleen Goetzmann headline the NU midfielders at a position that could provide an ample amount of scoring in 2010. The Huskers lost Anna Caniglia to graduation, but return a wealth of experience and talent to a strong position group this season. A second-team All-Big 12 pick in 2009, Thomas has 13 goals and eight assists during her career. The Omaha native began her career as a forward, but has shifted to the midfield where she increased her offensive production with seven assists in 2009. Thomas has started 38-of-40 career games, including every match last season. Jackson showed potential to be an all-conference-caliber player as a freshman when she notched five goals and three assists, including the game-winning goal against Oklahoma and an assist in the 2-1 upset over No. 14 Texas A&M. She worked her way into the lineup to start 14 matches. Goetzmann is returning from a torn ACL that ended her junior season after 10 games. Up to that point, she had been one of Nebraska’s best players, netting four goals after only one in 2008. The senior is poised to make her final season count after the misfortune last fall. Senior classmate Anna White provides another strong and experienced option in the Husker midfield. A 44-game starter through three years, White is one of the most determined and hard-nosed players on the NU roster. Along with junior Katie Goetzmann, the two could split time between the defender and midfielder positions. Goetzmann had three assists last season when she started all 20 games. Nebraska’s incoming recruiting class, in addition to redshirt freshman Bri Badje, should bolster the midfield with Ari Romero, Ashley Hick, Hannah Dittmar and Kylie Kusleika all bidding for playing time.

Defenders The Huskers held three opponents scoreless last season and gave up 1.57 goals per game while using two goalkeepers. Nebraska returns two starters from the backline and will look to replace departed All-Big 12 defender Carly Peetz. The two returnees - senior Brittany Goosen and junior Blair Slapper - will be backed by senior Jaclyn White, who has appeared in 37 career matches. Junior Katie Goetzmann and White also have the ability to be moved from midfield to defense and further solidify the Nebraska backline. Goosen has been one of the most successful and

Sophomore forward Morgan Marlborough scored 21 goals and was named the Big 12 Offensive Player and Rookie of the Year in 2009.

important players in the NU soccer program over the past three seasons, starting 19 games each year. She has one assist each of the past two seasons, although her true contributions and important assets to the team are not indicated in the statistics. Slapper has made a name for herself out of set plays, converting several of her six assists in 2009 off corner kicks and free kicks. She is a solid option alongside Goosen to hold opponent scoring down in 2010. Freshman Maritza Hayes may be the only newcomer to play defender this season.

Goalkeepers Senior Tara Macdonald looks to be the top option among the NU goalkeepers. The Austin, Texas native started 11 games last season while she battled foot injuries. In her shortened season, Macdonald boasted a 6-2-3 record and a 1.34 goals-against average. She has positioned herself to possibly reach the school’s all-time top 10 lists in career saves and wins if she can put together a solid season this fall. While Macdonald may be the frontrunner to start in net, redshirt freshman Emma Stevens has made significant strides toward becoming a starter during her time at Nebraska. Stevens played well during the 2010 spring season that was highlighted by a shutout against defending Mountain West Conference champion BYU. Two freshmen will also begin careers as goalkeepers in Mallorie Monhollon and Amy Swearer.

Schedule Highlighted by 10 home matches and five contests against 2009 NCAA Tournament qualifiers, Nebraska will

face a challenging and exciting schedule in 2010. Following the season opener at New Mexico on Aug. 22, Nebraska’s first home match will be part of the adidas Husker Classic on Friday, Aug. 27 against Loyola University (Chicago). Nebraska also faces defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion Loyola College (Maryland) on Sunday, Aug. 29. The Husker schedule features five September home matches, although NU begins the month at Indiana on Sept. 4. Nebraska then welcomes 2009 NCAA Tournament qualifier IUPUI for a Labor Day battle on Sept. 6 at the Nebraska Soccer Field before hitting the road to take on Arizona (Sept. 10) and Arizona State (Sept. 12) in Tempe. NU rounds out the non-conference portion of the schedule Sept. 17 and 19 by hosting Cal State Fullerton and Iowa at the Nebraska Soccer Field to kick off a four-game homestand. Coach John Walker’s squad begins the 2010 league slate Sept. 24-26 vs. Texas and Texas A&M in Lincoln. The Huskers will face Texas schools in the first four Big 12 matches as NU then travels to Baylor (Oct. 1) and Texas Tech (Oct. 3) to begin the month of October. NU returns to Lincoln to take on Big 12 North foes Iowa State (Oct. 8) and Missouri (Oct. 10) the following week, before its final two-match week beginning Thursday at Oklahoma (Oct. 14) and Saturday at Oklahoma State (Oct. 16). Senior Day will be Oct. 22 vs. Kansas, while the regular season schedule concludes Oct. 29 at Colorado. The 2010 Big 12 Championship will run from Nov. 3-7 in San Antonio. The NCAA Championship runs from Nov. 12-Dec. 5.

A back-to-back All-Big 12 honoree, junior Molly Thomas has scored 13 goals in her first two years at Nebraska.

averaged nearly 900 fans per home contest. In 2002, NU rewrote the single-game attendance record, when 4,830 fans attended the Nebraska vs. North Carolina contest to open the season. In 2004, more than 10,000 fans saw the Huskers play in their final season at the Abbott Sports Complex, including 3,620 in the home opener against the Tar Heels. In 2005, Walker and the Huskers moved on campus for the first time in school history, allowing a more convenient location for players and fans. Last season, Nebraska was unbeaten at the Nebraska Soccer Field with a 9-0-2 record.

With a proven system, an innovative coaching philosophy, a well-respected program and an ability to recruit some of the nation’s most talented players, Walker has the Huskers focused on contending for Big 12 Conference and national championships on an annual basis.

In 1998, Nebraska overcame the loss of five senior starters, including All-Americans Kari Uppinghouse and Rebecca Hornbacher, to finish with a 17-4-1 record and

claim a second Big 12 Conference Tournament title. The Huskers advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 and finished with a final No. 10 national ranking.

Nebraska’s 1998 success followed on the heels of an 18-4-0 season in which the Huskers advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament before losing at Notre Dame. The Huskers ended the 1997 season ranked No. 7 in the final NSCAA Poll.

Building from the BeginningWalker and the Huskers built their success on a

breakthrough season in 1996.Not only did Nebraska earn its first trip to the NCAA

Tournament, the Huskers placed themselves among the nation’s elite by winning two tournament games and advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals.

Along the way, Walker established himself as one of the finest coaches in America, earning NSCAA/Umbro National Coach-of-the-Year, NSCAA/Umbro Central Region Coach-of-the-Year and Big 12 Conference Coach-

John’s JourneyCoach John Walker came to Lincoln in April 1994 on

a mission to construct a national championship contender in women’s soccer, and 16 seasons later, he has built Nebraska into one of the premier programs in the Big 12 Conference and the nation.

Nebraska became the first Big Eight school to add women’s soccer as a varsity sport, and Walker was optimistic about the future of soccer in the Cornhusker state because of the University’s commitment to building a winning program. That commitment has remained strong throughout the program’s history, and in 2005 the Huskers moved into impressive facilities on the Nebraska campus.

Walker’s goal when he started at NU was to have the Huskers in their first NCAA Tournament by the 1998 season. Walker not only achieved that goal, he shattered his own timeline as NU reached the postseason in 1996, before earning seven straight top-15 national finishes. His early standard of excellence resulted in 10 trips to the NCAA Tournament and eight Sweet 16 appearances.

In 16 years at the helm for the Huskers, Walker has produced the 13th-best career winning percentage among active NCAA Division I women’s soccer coaches at .708 (236-91-21). He also ranks 11th all-time with his .708 winning percentage among coaches with a minimum of 10 years at the helm. Walker is the only head coach to produce more than 100 wins in fewer than eight seasons and notched his 200th career victory in the 2005 NCAA Tournament.

Under Walker, the Huskers have become perennial Big 12 Conference and national title contenders. The Huskers have made NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in eight of the last 14 years, including two trips to the Elite Eight. They have compiled a remarkable 211-69-21 record over the last 14 seasons and have won three Big 12 regular-season crowns and five Big 12 Tournament titles. NU swept both conference titles in 1996, 1999 and 2000.

In 1999, Nebraska enjoyed its best season in the program’s 14-year history, running to a 22-1-2 final record, a Big 12 regular-season title and a Big 12 Tournament crown. The Huskers missed their first trip to the NCAA Women’s College Cup (semifinals) by the narrowest of margins, as Notre Dame advanced on sudden death penalty kicks, 4-3, after one of the greatest matches in NCAA Tournament history.

Walker and the Huskers have also made Nebraska women’s soccer one of the hottest tickets in the nation. In 1999, the Huskers set a school single-season record and ranked among the top five teams in the nation, averaging 1,529 fans per game, including a then school-record attendance of 3,702 fans in the NCAA quarterfinals against Notre Dame. Over the past five seasons, the Huskers have

of-the-Year recognition.Walker led the Huskers to a perfect regular season

with a 19-0 record and the first regular-season Big 12 title. Nebraska extended its winning streak to 21 games with two more wins at the Big 12 Conference Soccer Championships in St. Louis to capture a second conference crown.

The Huskers entered the NCAA Tournament with the nation’s longest winning streak as the only unbeaten and untied team in the country.

But Nebraska’s perfect ride through the 1996 regular season did more than just put wins in the record books, it put fans in the stands, establishing a devoted following of Husker faithful.

Nebraska finished the season with the sixth-highest average attendance in the nation, and based on its unblemished record and outstanding fan support, earned a home bid in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

After a perfect regular season, Walker and the Huskers were not satisfied with just making it to the NCAA Tournament. They set their sights on a trip to soccer’s semifinals in Santa Clara, Calif.

Nebraska proved it was a contender with a 3-2 overtime win over Big Ten power Minnesota in the opening round in front of a then-school-record crowd of 1,544. The win over the Golden Gophers set up a second-round rematch with Duke at the Abbott Sports Complex.

The Huskers had come from behind to defeat the then-No. 6 Blue Devils, 3-1, in Durham, N.C., on Sept. 8, for Nebraska’s first-ever win over a ranked opponent. Although Duke came to Lincoln with a rich soccer tradition and plenty of NCAA Tournament experience, the Huskers dominated the Blue Devils from start to finish in a 3-0 win.

With the victory, the Huskers earned a trip to Oregon to challenge perennial power Portland. Although the Huskers battled until the end, they could not manage a goal, losing 1-0 to the Pilots. The Huskers finished the 1996 season with a 23-1-0 record and a final No. 6 national ranking.

Since posting its first top-25 win over Duke in 1996, Nebraska has made beating ranked opponents commonplace. During the past 10 seasons, Walker and the Huskers have posted 31 wins over top-25 teams.

Success Beyond NebraskaWalker’s Nebraska program has also proven that it can

produce All-America players. In just 16 years, 10 Huskers have earned a total of 16 NSCAA All-America certificates from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, including Brittany Timko in 2004 and 2005. Five Huskers have captured freshman All-America accolades under

Walker, including Morgan Marlborough, who earned honors from Soccer America and Top Drawer Soccer in 2009.

Walker also has helped Husker players compete at the international level. Over the past several seasons, the Husker team has boasted 22 players with national team experience, including current Huskers Molly Thomas and Marlborough, who each competed at U.S. training camps in the spring 2010 semester.

Former NU athletes have seen success at the professional level as well. Seven Huskers were selected in the inaugural WUSA Draft in December of 2000. Nebraska’s total number of athletes selected was second behind North Carolina. Four of the first 24 players chosen in the draft were former Huskers. In 2002, Nebraska saw its highest pick ever when Breanna Boyd was drafted eighth in the first round by the defending champion Carolina Courage. Christine Latham also became an instant starter for the San Diego Spirit when she was picked up as a discovery player for the WUSA team, after bypassing the entire draft process. Walker boasted five former athletes on 2003 WUSA rosters, three of whom were named to All-Star rosters, which ranked seventh among all Division I programs. In January 2010, former Husker Carly Peetz was seleted in the sixth round of the 2010 Women’s Professional Soccer Draft by the Boston Breakers.

At the conference level, Nebraska has won five of the 14 Big 12 Tournament championships with titles in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002. The Huskers also brought home Big 12 regular-season crowns in 1996, 1999 and 2000, and in the 14-year history of the conference, Nebraska has posted a league-best 102-43-14 regular-season mark and a .685 winning percentage. Along with the team accomplishments, the Huskers have been rewarded with 68 individual regular-season all-conference selections and 31 All-Big 12 Tournament awards. Former Husker Christine Latham was also the first league player to be named Big 12 Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons (2000, 2001), a feat repeated by Timko in 2004 and 2005. Timko went on to top that record the following season, earning co-Player of

the Year honors with Oklahoma State’s Yolanda Odenyo, to become the first player selected as Player-of-the-Year three times. Marlborough claimed a spot in the record books in 2009, as she was named Big 12 Offensive Player and Rookie of the Year, just the third freshman to win a player-of-the-year award in conference history.

Nebraska’s fast track to national prominence in soccer was aided by NU’s decision to become the first school in the Big Eight Conference with a women’s soccer program in 1994. Although Nebraska was ahead of other Big Eight schools, Walker started the 1994 season behind the rest of the nation in recruiting because of his late hiring.

However, in his first season as the Huskers’ mentor, Walker managed to put together a collection of scholarship players and walk-ons who recorded a surprising 14-4 mark and earned credibility around the nation with a successful inaugural campaign.

Walker and his staff followed their initial on-field success by compiling an excellent incoming class that included transfers Kari Uppinghouse, who became Nebraska’s first first-team All-American in 1996, and third-team All-America goalkeeper Rebecca Hornbacher.

The Huskers also implemented a year-round approach to training and conditioning. This approach included a strong spring schedule, a tradition that has continued at Nebraska. In 2006, the Huskers also traveled abroad to England and Scotland to face a multitude of international competition.

While Walker built the Huskers, he continued to expand his coaching experience as a staff coach for the Canadian National Team. During the summer of 1999, Walker was an assistant coach for Canada’s Women’s World Cup team. He currently works with both the Under-16 National Team and the Canadian World Cup Team.

Walker came to Nebraska from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, following achievements at the collegiate, national and international levels.

Walker was named national staff coach for the Canadian Soccer Association in 1992, and the following year, he was appointed an assistant coach for the Canadian World University Games team. Walker holds a Canadian “A” coaching license (highest level), a Level V certification and a USSF “A” license. Walker was a national coaching instructor for the Canadian Soccer Association and served as director of high performance for Ontario, where he supervised coaches and players at Ontario’s National and Provincial Training Center.

Walker was a standout sweeper for Queen’s University from 1982 to 1985 and received bachelor’s degrees in physical education and physical therapy from Queen’s in 1987. He earned a master’s degree in coaching science from Miami of Ohio in 1988. He also is a graduate of the Canadian National Coaching Institute.

The Kingston, Ontario, native is married to Mary Holmes and the couple has one daughter, Ally, and four sons, Declan, Cameron, Keegan and Liam.Off the field, John Walker devotes his time to his wife, Mary, and their five children: Declan (left), Liam (front left),

Dan Bassett was hired as an assistant coach for the Nebraska soccer team in July 2010. A familiar face to the NU soccer program, Bassett previously spent three seasons as a volunteer coach for the Huskers (2005, 2006 and 2008). During that time, he also coached the Bellevue West High School boys and girls squads and played two seasons for Bellevue University, helping the Bruins compile a 25-

12 record. Bassett served several roles while on the Husker support staff, including alumni relations, video operations and gameday operations. “I am incredibly excited to be returning to the University of Nebraska,” Bassett said. “It is a huge opportunity and privilege. This is a position that I will put my heart and soul into. It may be cliché to say that the university has a huge tradition of academic and athletic excellence, but it is true. I am fully aware of those traditions and will aim to not only honor them, but do my best to enhance them.” A native of Bulkington, England, Bassett moved to the United States in 2004 and began his coaching career with club teams in Kansas City and Omaha. He earned an engineering degree from North Warwickshire and Hinckley College in 2002. While in England, Bassett also spent time coaching the Coventry and Birmingham women’s Centers of Excellence. He resides in Lincoln with his wife, Stacie, a native of York, Neb.

MARTY EVERDING

Marty Everding returns to the Huskers as an interim head coach for the 2010 season after spending 13 years with Nebraska from 1994 to 2006. In his previous stint with the program, Everding played a crucial role in the ascension of Nebraska’s program to national prominence. As the Huskers’ goalkeeping coach, Everding developed two of the best goalkeepers in Big 12 Conference history. In 2000, Karina LeBlanc led the Big 12 and ranked second nationally with a 0.40 goals-against average. LeBlanc went on to start in goal for the Canadian National Team and the WUSA’s Boston Breakers, and

followed in the footsteps of All-American Rebecca Hornbacher, who started in goal for the Huskers in 1996 and 1997. Hornbacher also played for Boston in its inaugural WUSA season, while continuing her career as a collegiate goalkeeping coach. Everding helped transform former Husker Erin Miller from a defender to an all-conference goalkeeper. In her two seasons in the net, Miller recorded 239 saves, 21 shutouts and a 0.98 goals-against-average. After proving he could do it once, Everding took on the challenge of transforming Brooke Bredenberg from a midfielder to a goalkeeper. Bredenberg had a solid 2003 spring season in goal under Everding’s tutelage, not conceding a goal to an amateur team through five contests, including 2003 national runner-up Santa Clara. Bredenberg, who is now the head coach at Wayne State, went on to post a 1.39 goals-against average in 2003 before moving back to midfielder. Katie Wright stepped in and started both of Nebraska’s NCAA Tournament games and recorded 1.5 shutouts for the season. Wright then played every minute of the 2004 season, allowing just 29 goals in 23 games for a goals-against average of 1.25. Wright also stopped 108 shots, becoming just the second player in school history to post 100 saves in a season. In 2005, Everding helped true freshman Jamie Klages start 18 games and compile a 1.19 goals-

against average while stopping 88 shots and posting six shutouts. Klages was invited to train with the U.S. Under-21 National team. Everding was a player at Queen’s from 1981 to 1983 and 1986 to 1988. He was an assistant coach at Queen’s from 1989 to 1990, before joining Walker’s Nebraska staff. Everding graduated from the Canadian National Coaching Institute and holds a Canadian Level IV coaching license as well as a USSF “B” license. A native of Kingston, Ontario, Everding graduated from Queen’s in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in drama and education. Between coaching stints, Everding worked as a secondary school teacher.

Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past three seasons.

With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first three years as athletic director. In 2009-10, Nebraska finished 17th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup final standings, the Huskers’ best showing since 2000-01.

One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign as NU’s defensive coordinator, has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with back-to-back nine-win seasons and a pair of Big 12 North Division titles in his first two years. In 2009, Pelini notched 10 wins, including a dominant 33-0 win over Arizona in the Holiday Bowl while finishing in the top 15 in both major national polls.

The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed a pair of Big 12 titles and advanced to three NCAA Elite Eight appearances, while the women’s basketball program has earned two NCAA Tournament trips, while notching the best season in school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top 16 at three straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s track and field team has captured a pair of Big 12 outdoor crowns, while the men’s and women’s teams have produced five top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past three years.

The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams both produced top-10 NCAA finishes in 2010, while the Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past three years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in the last three years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010. The women won the first NCAA match in school history while the men made their first-ever tournament appearance. The Husker softball team has made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, while the baseball and women’s golf teams both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008.

In addition to their competitive success, the Huskers have continued to set high standards academically at both the conference and national levels. Nebraska led the Big 12 with eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2009-10, increasing NU’s nation-leading total to 277 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 178 academic all-conference selections, along with a conference-record 687 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 121 student-athletes from August of 2009 through May of 2010, while increasing its Big 12-leading exhausted eligibility graduation rate to 94 percent.

The Huskers also have continued to set the standard on the national level in the area of life skills. In 2010-11, Nebraska will open its new Student Life Center, which is designed to help Husker student-athletes maximize their performance in the classroom and the community.

The Student Life Center is the first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s athletic facilities. In the summer of 2010, the athletic department broke ground on the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which will directly benefit the men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling programs with new practice and team areas. The project is also expected to lead to additional opportunities for improved facilities for many other Husker Olympic sport programs. The Hendricks Training Complex is scheduled to open before the 2011-12 season.

In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Haymarket Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14.

Not long after the historic vote in Lincoln, Osborne helped Chancellor Harvey Perlman announce an even more historic move with the shift by Nebraska from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011-12.

Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic

department for years to come.Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska

as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006.

He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.

Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season.

In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998.

Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons.

Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games.

In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history.

Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

A member of Nebraska’s senior administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as Executive Associate Athletic Director and is the top assistant to the athletic director. Boehm fulfills the director’s responsibilities in his absence and also serves as the department’s chief operating officer.

Boehm oversees the efforts of several areas within athletics, including marketing, media relations, HuskerVision, facilities and events. Boehm also oversees the Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs and the Husker soccer program. He also played a major role in the athletic department’s negotiations for its contract extension with IMG College Sports. To date, it is the largest multi-media rights contract in college athletics.

As the primary administrator for the NU basketball programs, Boehm played an integral role in the hiring of Doc Sadler to be the Huskers’ new coach on Aug. 8, 2006. After gaining a top-15 recruiting class in his first season, Sadler got NU back to the postseason in 2008 with a second-round appearance in the 2008 NIT and the 12th 20-win season in program history. NU added another postseason bid in 2009.

Boehm has worked tirelessly with Fox Sports Net and the Big 12 Conference to provide the men’s basketball team with an extensive television package each of the past four seasons. His efforts in providing a fan-friendly atmosphere at the Bob Devaney Sports Center have also led to record-setting attendance at women’s games, including more than 11,000 fans per game in 2010 Big 12 action.

Under Boehm’s guidance, the teams have combined for nine postseason appearances in the past six years. The women’s team advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in school history in 2010, its third trip to the Big Dance in the past four years. Coach Connie Yori’s Huskers have made seven consecutive postseason tournament appearances. The men have seen recent success as well, reaching

postseason play four times during Boehm’s tenure.Boehm’s efforts to enhance NU’s gameday atmosphere were

not restricted to the basketball programs. He was instrumental in conceptualizing and developing the Husker Nation Pavilion, which quickly became the premier pregame event around home football games.

Boehm also took the lead role in obtaining First National Bank and Ameritas as premier sponsors for the Nebraska Athletic Department for a combined deal worth more than $7 million over a three-year period. First National Bank and Ameritas joined ALLTEL, Pepsi and adidas as premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics.

Boehm held the same position at Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2003. Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers’ basketball program with the men’s team posting back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. During construction of the Panthers’ new athletic facilities, Boehm played a central role in Pitt’s athletic teams moving to the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field and the Petersen Events Center.

Boehm served as interim athletic director at Pittsburgh for nearly five months before coming to Nebraska. During that time, he hired new men’s (Jamie Dixon) and women’s basketball (Agnus Berenato) and soccer (Sue-Moy Chin) head coaches for the Panther program. Under Dixon’s direction, the Panthers have advanced to seven straight NCAA Tournaments, while Berenato has rejuvenated the women’s program with three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2007 to 2009.

Born in Grand Island, Boehm earned his bachelor’s degree in communications from Kansas State in 1984 and added a master’s degree in sports management from St. Thomas (Fla.) University in 1985. Boehm and his wife, the former Janelle Broderick of Minot, N.D., have three boys, Broderick, Christian and Lukas John.

A member of the Nebraska Athletic Department since 1979, Pat Logsdon was promoted to Senior Woman Administrator on March 7, 2008, after also serving as Associate Athletic Director for Administration and Assistant Athletic Director for Administration.

administrative budget.Previously, Logsdon spent six seasons as NU’s director of football

operations, the first female in Division I to serve in that capacity. She handled organization of all recruiting functions, supervised compliance activities and coordinated all football administrative operations, including travel and practice operations. Logsdon served three years as assistant to the director of football operations and 14 seasons as the football recruiting secretary.

Logsdon received a bachelor’s degree in education from Nebraska in 1989. She is married to Rob Logsdon.

Sheri Hastings serves as an academic counselor at Nebraska. Hastings has been with the athletic department since August of 2006. She will serve as the academic counselor for women’s basketball, bowling, women’s gymnastics and soccer during the 2010-11 academic year. Last year, Hastings helped the NU soccer program place 14 student-athletes on the 2010 Academic All-Big 12 team, tying the Huskers for the league lead.

Before coming to the athletic department, Hastings served as a mathematics learning specialist for student support services at UNL.

Prior to that, she was a secondary mathematics teacher at Grand Island High School.

A Grand Island native, Hastings earned her bachelor’s degree in secondary mathematics from Nebraska in 1987. Hastings continued her education at Nebraska and earned a master’s degree in educational psychology in 1995.

2010 Outlook Forward Morgan Marlborough is in position to solidify her name among the best in Husker history. After scoring 21 times last year, the sophomore enters the 2010 season just five goals away from reaching NU's all-time top 10. The Lee's Summit, Mo., native should be among the best forwards in the nation once again this fall as she attempts to continue her record-breaking career. Marlborough remained active in high-level soccer during the offseason, including two months on the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team in January and February. Marlborough traveled to Guatemala City for the 2010 CONCACAF U-20 Women's Championship, leading the Americans to a 4-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago by scoring the game-winning goal and adding an assist.

2009 (Freshman) Marlborough produced the most successful rookie season in school history and one of the best Husker campaigns overall. A unanimous freshman All-American, Marlborough was named the Big 12 Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year after she led the conference in scoring with 21 goals and added seven assists to total 49 points, numbers that each ranked fifth in the NCAA. The Lee's Summit, Mo., native ended the year fourth on the NU single-season goal chart and fifth in points. Against Oklahoma on Oct. 11, Marlborough broke the freshman school record for single-season goals, as she turned in her second hat trick of the year and became one of seven players in school history to produce multiple three-goal games in a career. On Sept. 13 - just her sixth career game - she tied

the single-game school record with four goals against Akron. The shining moment of Marlborough's freshman season came on Oct. 18, as she led the Huskers to a 2-1 upset of No. 14 Texas A&M in Lincoln. The freshman scored both Husker goals in the match, including the game-winner from the left side of the penalty box in the 82nd minute, shooting across her body left-to-right from 15 yards out. Marlborough had seven multiple-goal games, which ranks seventh on the school's all-time career chart. She scored a goal in 11 of the first 15 matches of the season and held the national scoring lead until early November. A well-rounded offensive threat, Marlborough tied Molly Thomas for the second-most assists on the team with seven, including two in the Huskers' road win at Kansas (7-4 on Oct. 23) and one in the home finale victory over Iowa State (2-1 on Oct. 30). Marlborough did not play in Nebraska's season-ending Big 12 Tournament loss to Oklahoma State due to sickness. The Huskers were unbeaten when Marlborough scored a goal, recording an 8-0-3 mark in those matches. She was especially strong in Big 12 play, averaging 1.7 points per conference contest.

High School Marlborough racked up an impressive list of accomplishments during her career for Coach Tim Richardson at Lee’s Summit North High School. In four years with the Broncos, Marlborough notched 232 career goals to break the state record. She also set the season goals state record with 69 as a senior, after breaking the record each of her first three seasons. Marlborough's 69 goals and 13 assists led her team to a 25-3 record as a senior. The Broncos won conference and district titles before falling in the state championship on penalty kicks. She was named Missouri's Gatorade Player of the Year for her efforts. Marlborough posted 63 goals her junior season. She tied her own state record with eight goals in one half while leading Lee’s Summit to an 18-4 record and second-place finishes in the conference and district. She also earned 12 assists during the year, and for her efforts was named to the NSCAA All-America team. As a sophomore, Marlborough and the Broncos finished fourth at the Missouri state championships after

earning conference and district titles. She finished with 57 goals and 13 assists to lead the team to a 22-4-1 record and earned NSCAA All-Region V accolades. She was also invited to the U.S. U-17 National Team camp in 2007. Marlborough had an instant impact as a freshman in 2006, posting 43 goals and eight assists and setting a state record with eight goals in one half, a mark she matched as a junior. Her team notched an 18-3-1 mark to finish as conference and district champions. Marlborough was a four-time first-team all-state selection, while being named the all-state offensive player of the year in 2007 and 2008. She was named the all-state player of the year in 2009. The Kansas City Star selected her to its all-metro first-team four straight seasons and named her the all-metro player of the year in 2007, 2008 and 2009. She also earned frequent honors at the conference and district level. In the classroom, she was on the honor roll all four years.

Other Information Playing for two club squads, Marlborough was a two-time state champion and regional semifinalist. Under Coach Mike Saif and the Dynamos, she captured the Kansas state title in 2007 and made it to the regional semifinal, while accomplishing the same feat with Coach Huw Williams and the KCFC Impact in 2008. Marlborough helped the squad to the state finals in 2009.

Personal Information Morgan is the daughter of Matt and Karen Marlborough, and was born Dec. 3, 1990. Morgan has one sister, Megan. Morgan is a pre-elementary education major at Nebraska.

Worth Noting The Missouri career goals record that Marlborough broke was previously held by current Husker Michaella Fulmer, also a native of Lee's Summit. Fulmer notched 215 goals from 2004 to 2007, which was surpassed by Marlborough's 232. Another former Husker, Kori Saunders also held Missouri's scoring record.

2010 Outlook A two-time All-Big 12 selection, Molly Thomas is set to maintain her spot among the top players in the Midwest region in 2010. In two years with the Huskers, the Omaha native has started 38-of-40 matches and scored 13 goals. After a five-goal, one-assist All-Big 12 freshman campaign, Thomas became a more versatile offensive threat by contributing seven assists last year. She is one of only seven Huskers in school history to earn All-Big 12 honors in each of her first two seasons. During the offseason, Thomas was invited to Corvallis, Ore., to participate in the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team training camp.

2009 (Sophomore) Thomas established herself as one of the best players in the league and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2009. The sophomore was a mainstay in the NU lineup and started all 20 games, scoring eight

goals and adding seven assists to rank second on the team in both categories and sixth in the Big 12 with 1.10 points per game. Her offensive output of 23 points more than doubled her 2008 total (11) and helped direct Nebraska to one of the best scoring attacks in the nation. Thomas had three multiple-goal games, beginning with the season-opening win at Northern Colorado when she scored twice. She also had five matches of three or more points, including a career-high six points (2 goals, 2 assists) in NU's 9-0 victory over South Dakota. After assists against Baylor and Oklahoma and a goal at Kansas, Thomas came up with her biggest clutch performance in the regular-season finale. Trailing Iowa State 1-0, she scored the game-tying goal in the 72nd minute and then contributed the game-winning assist on Lauren Isenhower's header in overtime to guide Nebraska to a thrilling 2-1 Senior Day victory.

She scored six of her team's 11 goals in the state tournament, including both goals in a 2-1 win in the championship game. Thomas claimed 26 goals and five assists as a junior, helping the Mustangs finish third in the state. She helped power Millard North to the state title as a sophomore, when she scored 20 goals and added eight assists. Millard North was 52-7 with Thomas as a starter from 2006 to 2008. Thomas' achievements on the field earned her a plethora of honors, including being named Nebraska's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008. Thomas is the second two-time Gatorade winner to join the Huskers, following former Husker Lindsay Poehling in earning the distinction. Thomas was a three-time first-team all-state selection for both the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald, including being named the Super-State honorary captain in 2007 and 2008.

Other Information Under Coach Tom McNeal, Thomas was highly active with her club team, the Elkhorn Inferno, and led the squad to a state title in 2006 and a Midwest League championship in 2007.

Personal Information Molly is the daughter of Bob and Mary Jo Thomas and has one brother, JT. Molly was born May 18, 1990, in Omaha. She is a pre-speech language pathology major at Nebraska.

Worth Noting Thomas has been involved with the U.S. National Team for the past two years. In addition to camp with the Under-23 squad in 2010, she was also invited to train with the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team during the summer of 2009.

2010 Outlook Michaella Fulmer was expecting to contend for a starting spot in 2010 but suffered a torn ACL during fall camp and will not be able to participate this season. With 25 career points, Fulmer is the third-highest scorer among the current Huskers, trailing only Morgan Marlborough and Molly Thomas. Fulmer could consider options to seek a medical redshirt and return in 2011.

2009 (Junior) Fulmer was once again one of Nebraska's biggest offensive threats, scoring four goals and adding three assists for the second consecutive season. She tied for the Huskers' best shot-on-goal percentage (.550) by scoring her four goals in 11 attempts on net. Fulmer was credited for game-winning goals in wins over Green Bay and Kansas and accounted for her season assist total in back-to-back wins over Lamar (2) and North Dakota (1) on Sept. 4 and Sept. 11. Her first goal of the season also came against Lamar, as she tied her career-high point total with four in the contest.

Fulmer played in 16-of-20 matches during the season, starting the final game against Oklahoma State at the Big 12 Championship. With 11 points, she was one of four Huskers to reach a double-digit point total in both 2008 and 2009 (also Molly Thomas, Anna Caniglia and Shay Powell). In the classroom, Fulmer was named second-team academic All-Big 12 in 2009. She earned Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll accolades during the fall semester, her third award overall.

2008 (Sophomore) Fulmer finished the season second on the team with 11 points. She posted four goals, including her first career game-winner against Iowa State on Oct. 31, and racked up three assists. Fulmer opened the season by posting a career-high four points on two goals against Northwestern on Aug. 22. Fulmer started the next two games, and appeared in all 20 Husker contests during 2008. She earned back-to-back assists in NU wins over No. 25 Kansas on Sept. 26 and Missouri on Sept. 28, including the game-winner against the Tigers. She also posted a goal in Nebraska’s 3-0 victory over Texas Tech on Oct. 19. Fulmer’s four goals ranked third on the team, while her three assists ranked second. In the classroom, Fulmer was one of 15 Huskers who captured academic All-Big 12 honors, as she earned first-team accolades.

2007 (Freshman) Fulmer played in 17 of Nebraska's 19 contests in 2007. Making the most of her time on the field, Fulmer averaged better than one shot per game and amassed 18 total shots, including seven on goal. Fulmer's season was highlighted by her three-point performance against Lamar in a 4-0 NU win on Oct. 12. Fulmer racked up five shots, putting three on goal, while she collected her first career goal and assist in the same game. Fulmer assisted on a Jaclyn White goal in the 39th minute and got one of her own in the 66th minute. Three Husker freshmen scored their first career points in the game, as Fulmer helped the Huskers to 44 shots, the most in a game since NU recorded 44 in an 11-0 win over Drury on Sept. 3, 2000.

High School In her four years at O'Hara High School in Kansas City, Mo., Fulmer helped the team to three state titles. Her biggest contribution was her amazing goal-scoring abilities.

She added 46 more goals in her senior season, finishing her run with 215 goals and 34 assists.

2010 Outlook Colleen Goetzmann (pronounced CALL-een GETZ-men) will be one of the most determined players on the 2010 roster after her junior season was cut short due to injury. The senior midfielder ranked third on the team with four goals when she was forced to the sideline six weeks into the 2009 season. Goetzmann had started the first 10 games last fall and will look to reclaim that role in the lineup as a senior.

2009 (Junior) Goetzmann was poised for a breakout season in 2009 but suffered a season-ending injury when she tore her ACL at Texas Tech on Sept. 27. Already through 10-of-19 regular-season matches, Goetzmann was not eligible for a medical redshirt. Despite the setback, the Omaha native made a huge impact in the first half of the season. Goetzmann started all 10 games to begin the year and tied for fifth with four goals after just one in her first two seasons combined. Goetzmann's scoring accuracy was also among the best on the squad, as she tied for the team-

best shot-on-goal percentage (.550), scoring her four goals in 11 attempts on net and just 20 shots overall. In the classroom, she was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll during the fall and spring semesters, her fifth and sixth straight awards overall.

2008 (Sophomore) Goetzmann worked her way into the Nebraska lineup and missed just one start during the 2008 season. She appeared in all 20 games, and made 19 starts, helping the Huskers to an eight-game unbeaten streak in the middle of the season. Goetzmann guided NU to upsets of No. 25 Kansas on Sept. 26 and No. 8 Texas on Oct. 3. She ended the regular season by posting her first career goal in a 3-1 NU win over Iowa State. She earned a career-high four shots, directing two on goal. In the classroom, she claimed first-team academic All-Big 12 honors.

2007 (Freshman) Goetzmann was one of four Husker freshmen who saw playing time in all 19 contests for Nebraska in 2007. She was a solid contributor in a midfield that started several veterans during the fall. Goetzmann's three shots on goal in her first four games earned the midfielder her first career start against Georgia on Sept. 16. She produced her first career points in the next game, as she notched an assist in Nebraska's 5-1 win over Saint Louis on Sept. 21. Goetzmann went on to make eight consecutive starts, including a three-shot performance against Oklahoma in a 1-0 NU win on Sept. 28. The Huskers' win over the Sooners moved Nebraska to 12-0 all-time in Big 12 openers. She finished the season with 12 shots in 19 appearances, including nine starts. She notched four shots on goal.

High School A four-year starter at Millard North, Goetzmann earned first-team all-state honors while helping the Mustangs to the 2006 state title. She was also a 2005 second-team all-state and academic all-state selection. A clutch performer for Millard North, Goetzmann scored the opening goals in the Metro Conference finals in both 2006 and 2007. The goals helped the Mustangs to the 2006 state title and a 2007 third-place finish.

Other Information Goetzmann played for the three-time state champion Toro Magic club team in Omaha, where she started as a central midfielder. An all-state selection for the Toro Magic, Goetzmann also helped her team to a third-place finish in the region in 2007.

Personal Information Colleen is the daughter of John and Suzette Goetzmann and has two sisters, Melissa and twin sister Katie, who also plays for Nebraska. Colleen and Katie are the first twins to play for NU since Stephanie and Andrea Brennan of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1994. Colleen and Katie were born Dec. 5, 1988.

2010 OutlookBrittany Goosen (pronounced GO-sen) has

provided solid support to the NU backline since 2007 and enters this fall as one of the most experienced players on the roster. A regular starter since her freshman season, Goosen has helped lead the Huskers to 12 shutouts over the past three years. With the departure of 2009 All-Big 12 defender Carly Peetz, Goosen will be vital to Nebraska's defensive success in 2010.

2009 (Junior)For the third consecutive season, Goosen started

2010 Outlook After fighting through minor injuries in her first two years, Anna White saw an increased role in the NU starting lineup last season. White's determination has helped her become one of the team's most important players, as she has consistently been a tough defender and provided strong midfield play. White could get in the offensive mix as well after attempting six shots on goal last year.

2009 (Junior) Following 12 starts in each of her previous two seasons, White started all 20 games for the Huskers and became one of the team's most reliable players in 2009.

2007 (Freshman) White completed the 2007 season as one of several freshmen who made major contributions to the Huskers. White played in 17 games, making 12 starts, but a midseason shoulder injury limited her effectiveness. White displayed a physical style early in the season, as her control of the midfield helped the Huskers to early home wins, including a 5-1 victory over Saint Louis on Sept. 21. White was in and out of the starting lineup until her performance against Lamar on Oct. 12. White cranked out four shots against the Cardinals, putting three on goal, including her first career goal. White was a starter for the final six games of the season, accumulating 24 shots, including 11 on goal.

A Winning Tradition Behind the strength of a six-player senior class and two All-Big 12 underclassmen, the 2009 Nebraska soccer team successfully carried on the winning tradition of its 16-year old program. For the 15th season, the Huskers compiled a double-digit win total with an 11-5-4 overall record, while retaining their position among the league’s best with a fourth-place Big 12 finish, NU’s highest since 2005.

The Big 12’s Best In 2009, Nebraska fielded the best player in the conference, as freshman Morgan Marlborough won the Big 12 Offensive Player and Rookie-of-the-Year awards. Marlborough earned the awards with several spectacular performances throughout the year. One of her best came in Lincoln on Oct. 16, when Marlborough scored both goals in Nebraska’s 2-1 upset of No. 14 Texas A&M. The game-winner came in the 82nd minute, as Marlborough dashed through the Aggie defense right-to-left and shot across her body from the left side of the penalty box. It was the last of 21 goals on the season for the Lee’s Summit, Mo., native, the best mark ever by an NU freshman and fourth overall on the all-time chart. The victory over Texas A&M put an exclamation point on a 5-3-2 conference season and an unbeaten home record at the Nebraska Soccer Field. The Huskers began the Big 12 slate Sept. 25 with a narrow 1-0 loss at Colorado, giving up the match’s only goal with 22 minutes remaining. On the same weekend road swing, the Huskers took a 3-1 lead at Texas Tech behind two goals from Marlborough and one from senior Shay Powell, but gave up a pair in the final 45 minutes to tie the Red Raiders, 3-3. The near victories resulted in a statement game when the Huskers returned home to face Oklahoma State on Oct. 4. In a 2-0 victory over the defending Big 12 champions, the NU seniors stepped up with one of the best performances of their careers. In the 10th

minute, Powell accounted for the game-winning goal, clanging a shot off the cross bar on a pass from Blair Slapper. The teams then went scoreless for nearly 70 minutes, until seniors Anna Caniglia and Carly Peetz teamed up for an insurance goal with 11 minutes remaining. It was Caniglia’s fifth assist of the season, as she found Peetz off a 35-yard free kick for a header from the left side of the goalie box. Caniglia was NU’s season assist leader with nine, tying her for third in the Big 12 As usual, Peetz was a defensive expert in 2009, but her critical goal against the Cowgirls was a microcosm of her increased offensive role as a senior, scoring four times and adding three assists. She went on to claim first-team All-Big 12 honors after second-team accolades (2008) and Big 12 All-Newcomer honors (2006). A week later, the Huskers welcomed two more Big 12 South opponents to the Nebraska Soccer Field as Baylor and Oklahoma came to Lincoln. Powell played a big role again, forcing a tie with the Bears after BU took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute. The Dallas native responded with a goal just 1:20 into the second half, but neither team could break the 1-1 deadlock the rest of the way. With a pair of ties in their first four conference matches, the Huskers were in need of a breakout performance from an offense that averaged nearly four goals per game (3.9) in non-conference play. NU gained that offensive swagger back on Oct. 11 with a 5-2 domination of the Sooners. After tying the single-game school record with four goals in a September win vs. Akron, Marlborough became the seventh Husker in history to produce multiple hat tricks in a career by scoring three times against Oklahoma. Marlborough’s three-goal effort increased her nation-leading total to 19, while becoming the freshman school record holder for single-season goals, passing the previous mark of 17 set in 1996 by both Lindsay Eddleman and Isabelle Morneau. Nebraska had fallen

behind for the second straight game against OU, but Marlborough led the comeback with her first goal on a header from freshman Jordan Jackson in the 18th minute. Six minutes later, Marlborough unleashed one of her most impressive goals of the season after she was taken down by an OU defender on the right side of the penalty box. She recovered to keep control of the possession and dribble through the Sooner defense to beat the OU goalkeeper with a shot off the far post. Unbeaten when leading at the intermission (10-0-2) in 2009, the Huskers struck quickly in the final period with Jackson’s fourth goal of the season just 89 seconds into the second half. Nebraska separated itself with 15 minutes left when Slapper’s shot from 35 yards away was saved, but the deflection bounced off the crossbar and landed in Marlborough’s lap for her third goal of the game. Although Marlborough put together the best freshman season in school history, Jackson was quietly becoming one of the best newcomers in the Big 12 Conference, scoring five goals and adding three assists on the season. She had four multiple-point matches, highlighted by a goal and assist against the Sooners. Nebraska’s offense was among the best in the nation in 2009, ranking first in the NCAA with 50 goals (3.6 per game) following the 5-2 triumph over Oklahoma. The scoring output through mid-October had already marked the most goals in a season by a Husker team since 2002. On Sept. 18, Nebraska’s nine goals in a 9-0 shutout of South Dakota was the best single-game total in the Big 12 Conference in 2009. A back-to-back All-Big 12 selection, forward Molly Thomas contributed the top offensive performance of her career against the Coyotes with two goals and two assists. She ranked second on the team with 23 points (8 goals, 7 assists), while her seven assists ranked sixth in the conference to help her claim second-team All-Big 12 honors. She was also one of six Huskers to start all 20 matches, joining Caniglia, Peetz, Slapper and juniors Katie Goetzmann and Anna White. Marlborough and junior Brittany Goosen started 19 games.

Adding to History Entering 2009, a total of 24 hat tricks had been achieved in the 16 years of Nebraska soccer (1.6 per season). Marlborough increased that average by achieving two in the first 14 matches, then followed up with both goals in the Huskers’ 2-1 upset over No. 14 Texas A&M on Oct. 18. Behind Marlborough, Thomas and Jackson, Nebraska had created one of the most talented and youngest frontlines in the nation. While the trio was responsible for half of NU’s goal total (31 of 62), the Huskers benefited greatly from the unanticipated offensive force of Caniglia. The Omaha native transitioned from defender to midfielder in her final year with the Huskers and went on to produce the team’s third-highest point total (19) on five goals and nine assists. With Nebraska sitting in a tie for fourth in the league standings on Oct. 23, Caniglia turned in one of the best single-game performances in recent Husker history, as she scored three goals and added an assist to lead Nebraska to a 7-4 road victory at Kansas. Her career day was highlighted by the team’s

NU CONTINUES WINNING WAYS IN 2009most spectacular goal of the season when she scored on a bicycle kick in the goalie box in the 59th minute. Thomas, Jackson, Peetz and junior Michaella Fulmer also hit the back of the net to contribute in the highest scoring Big 12 game since 1999. Nebraska ended the weekend road swing with a loss at Missouri, but returned home for Senior Day on Oct. 30 against Iowa State. The 2009 senior class consisted of six members that started a combined 230 games, scored 60 goals and included four team captains. Academically, the group earned 36 spots on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 14 academic All-Big 12 awards. Nebraska would not be denied in its final home game, as senior Lauren Isenhower’s header in the 97th minute broke a 1-1 tie and sent the Huskers away with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory. Isenhower’s game-winner concluded Nebraska’s regular season with an 11-5-4 record and gave the Huskers a fourth-place Big 12 finish. Isenhower’s goal came off a cross from Thomas in the far corner, who gave NU an opportunity for the win as she scored her eighth goal of the season in the 72nd minute, just nine minutes after Iowa State took a 1-0 lead. Riding the momentum of its overtime win, Nebraska traveled to San Antonio for the 2009 Big 12 Championship. With its sights set on a possible NCAA Tournament berth, the Huskers ran into a tough challenge and fell to eventual champion Oklahoma State in the first round. Nebraska suffered from the absence of its Big 12 Player of the Year, as Marlborough did not play due to illness. The match ended Nebraska’s run, as the Huskers were not invited to the postseason.

Awarded for Outstanding Accomplishments Morgan Marlborough became just the third freshman in league history to earn the Big 12 Offensive Player-of-the-Year award, as the conference announced her as the winner following the regular season. Marlborough

was also named Big 12 Rookie of the Year, as three Huskers claimed All-Big 12 accolades, including senior Carly Peetz (First Team) and sophomore Molly Thomas (Second Team). Marlborough became the sixth Husker to win a player-of-the-year honor and the first to do it since Brittany Timko in 2006. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., native led the Big 12 with 21 goals and ranked sixth in assists with seven. Marlborough separated herself from the rest of the Big 12 field in scoring, as her 21 goals and 49 points were well ahead of the league’s second-highest scorer, Oklahoma’s Whitney Palmer (15 goals, 32 points). Following her freshman season, Marlborough ranked fourth and fifth all-time on the Husker single-season goal and point charts. Peetz earned the third All-Big 12 award of her career, as she was on the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team in 2006 and a second-team All-Big 12 pick in 2008. The defender had her best offensive season, scoring four goals and adding three assists. Along with Caniglia, she started every game of her Husker career, a streak of 79 that tied the duo for the eighth-most starts in NU history. Thomas was an All-Big 12 honoree for the second consecutive year, as she was part of the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team in 2008. The sophomore ranked sixth in the conference in goals (8) and seventh in assists (7). Nebraska increased its all-time totals to 42 first-team honors and 67 spots on the all-conference teams overall. The Huskers have had at least three All-Big 12 selections 12 times in the 15-year history of the program. At the end of the season, Marlborough and Peetz were awarded with NSCAA All-Central Region honors. Marlborough earned a spot on the second team, while Peetz claimed third team recognition to become the first NU defender with multiple all-region honors since Breanna Boyd was a three-time honoree (2000 to 2002).

Success In the Classroom The Nebraska soccer team made a mark among the conference schools on the 2009 academic All-Big 12 team, as the Huskers had 14 student-athletes named to the squad to tie for the highest total of any team. In addition to achieving a perfect 4.0 grade-point average, senior Shay Powell attained one of the highest honors in collegiate athletics when she was named to the 2009 CoSIDA Academic All-America Team. Her award helped Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 277 across all sports and further exemplified the school’s long-standing tradition of academic excellence. The academic All-Big 12 honor was Powell’s third consecutive first-team award, an achievement matched by Anna Caniglia, Brittney Lanier and Carly Peetz. All six seniors were named to the first team, as Julie Berkshire and Lauren Isenhower also gained top accolades. Junior Anna White and sophomore Katie Goetzmann each obtained first-team honors for the second consecutive year, while sophomore Alexa Cardona and juniors Jessica Mills and Jaclyn White earned the first awards of their career. Junior Michaella Fulmer and sophomore Blair Slapper were named to the second team, bringing Nebraska’s total to 14, the second-most selections the Huskers have ever had on the academic All-Big 12 team (15 in 2008).

On the National Stage Nebraska’s young talent was on display following the 2009 season as Morgan Marlborough and Molly Thomas were each invited to camps with the U.S. Under-20 and Under-23 National Teams. Marlborough made an impact with the Under-20 squad at the 2010 CONCACAF Championship in Guatemala City, scoring the game-winning goal and adding an assist in a pool play victory over Trinidad & Tobago. The United States would go on to win the tournament, but Marlborough did not see action again as she was sidelined by illness.

Freshman Morgan Marlborough swept the 2009 Big 12 Conference Offensive Player and Rookie-of-the-Year awards. She led the league with 21 goals.

Marlborough struck early and often, as she scored her first goal just 3:25 into the contest when she slipped past the Akron goalkeeper at the top of the penalty box. The freshman added her second score following a corner kick midway through the first half, before accounting for both of Nebraska’s goals to begin the final 45 minutes. Shay Powell and Lauren Isenhower assisted on the second-half goals as each sent the ball to Marlborough from the corner to help the Huskers mount a commanding 6-0 lead. Nebraska held a 4-0 halftime advantage after defender Carly Peetz cleaned up a loose ball in front of the net following a corner kick with 2:54 remaining.

directly in front of the goalie box. Congestion ensued in front of the net, but Peetz was able to push the ball past the Villanova goalkeeper to give the Huskers a 2-1 lead. Villanova forward Katie Ryan then turned up the heat and took four shots in the final minutes, making good on her final opportunity when she chased down a long ball near the top of the penalty box and sent it in for the game-tying score.

Notes: Nebraska opened the home season in fine fashion by running past the Lamar Cardinals, 7-1, at the Nebraska Soccer Field. The Huskers played strong defense by limiting Lamar to just six total shots, while the offensive power came from Lauren Isenhower and Morgan Marlborough, who each scored two goals. Isenhower’s scores broke the game open near the end of the first half as she found the net twice on assists from Michaella Fulmer within a span of five minutes to give the Huskers a 4-1 lead at the break. The Cardinals’ lone goal came at the 34:30 mark of the first half after NU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on scores from Marlborough and Shay Powell in the first 14 minutes of the contest. Marlborough added her second goal just 95 seconds into the second half on a penalty kick that beat Lamar goalkeeper Jennifer Gibbs on the right side of the net and increased the Husker lead to 5-1.

Marlborough’s NCAA-leading 13th goal of season came after she gained control near the top left side of the penalty box and beat an ASU defender to score from 15 yards away. Nebraska held on to the 1-0 lead for the next 36 minutes behind solid goalkeeping by Tara Macdonald. The Husker goalie played all 110 minutes and did not allow a goal until 14:06 to go in the game when Arizona State’s Taylor McCarter scored from nearly the same spot as Marlborough’s goal in the first half.

Molly Thomas had four shots in the first 45 minutes, including one attempt in the 36th minute that hit the cross bar.

Notes: Nebraska jumped out to a 3-1 halftime lead, but Texas Tech scored two second-half goals as the Huskers and Red Raiders battled to a 3-3 double-overtime tie in Lubbock, Texas.

Morgan Marlborough led a strong offensive attack with two goals to move into a tie for 10th all-time on the Nebraska single-season scoring charts with 15 goals. Marlborough’s efforts helped the Huskers to a 3-1 halftime lead. Marlborough struck early when she knocked in a 25-yard shot off the left post just 1:40 into the game, before scoring her second goal at the 22:50 mark after she cleaned up a missed header and beat Texas Tech goalkeeper Erin Wikelius. The Red Raiders cut the lead to 2-1 with five minutes remaining in the first half on Leanne Mihelich’s first of two goals in the game. Powell responded for the Huskers just over a minute later on an open net goal after Wikelius was attempting to clear the ball out of the penalty box. The goal gave Nebraska a 3-1 halftime lead and marked the most scoring in a first half by the Huskers since Oct. 30, 2005 at Texas Tech. Leading by two, the Huskers were unable to slow down a high-paced game as Texas Tech midfielder Taylor Lytle found the net 35 seconds into the second half before Mihelich scored her second goal of the game in the 56th minute.

Notes: Cold temperatures and strong winds swept through the Lincoln area on Oct. 2, but that did not slow the Huskers in their final non-conference game of the season, as Nebraska defeated Green Bay, 3-1, at the Nebraska Soccer Field. Morgan Marlborough broke a scoreless tie at the 32:28 mark with her nation-leading 16th goal of the season to put herself in a tie with Christine Latham (2002) for the ninth-most single-season goals in school history. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., native took a pass from Blair Slapper near the left side of the penalty box and fired a shot past Green Bay goalkeeper Maddie Drusch on the left side of the net to give Nebraska a 1-0 lead. Marlborough’s goal also helped the Huskers find some offensive rhythm that led to Michaella Fulmer’s third goal of the season just before halftime for a 2-0 advantage at the intermission. Following the break, defender Anna Caniglia cashed in on an offensive opportunity 4 1/2 minutes into the action, as she knocked in Nebraska’s third goal of the game.

Notes: Nebraska used one of its most complete efforts of the season to earn its first Big 12 victory with a 2-0 win over Oklahoma State on Oct. 4 at the Nebraska Soccer Field. Shay Powell put the Huskers on the scoreboard quickly, when her shot from 10 yards away hit the crossbar and

bounced over the line to put Nebraska on top, 1-0, at the 10:24 mark of the first half. Nebraska held OSU to two shots in the first half and took a 1-0 lead into halftime that it would not relinquish behind a strong effort in the net from goalkeeper Jessica Mills. The Houston, Texas native played one of the best games of her career to keep a talented Cowgirl squad scoreless for just the third time this season. The NU defense aided Mills’ effort by holding OSU to eight total shots, and was responsible for the Huskers’ second goal of the afternoon as Carly Peetz and Anna Caniglia teamed up to ensure Nebraska would go home with its first Big 12 win of the season.

Notes: Nebraska found itself in a 1-0 deficit just 20 minutes into the game, but an early second-half goal by forward Shay Powell forced a 1-1 double-overtime tie against the Baylor Bears at the Nebraska Soccer Field. Powell’s goal in the 46th minute was the only one the Huskers could put in the net against a Baylor defense that ranked first in the Big 12 Conference in goals allowed with 0.64 per game and had posted five shutouts coming into the contest. With the game tied at 1-1 in the 96th minute (first overtime), Nebraska momentarily thought it had earned its eighth victory of the season, but Jordan Jackson’s goal from 12 yards out was waved off due to a Husker foul.

Nebraska fell behind 1-0, but Marlborough led the comeback effort with her first goal on a header to tie the contest in the 18th minute. Six minutes later, Marlborough was taken down by an OU defender on the right side of the penalty box, but recovered to keep control of the possession and score off the far post to give NU a 2-1 halftime lead. Nebraska separated itself from OU with 15 minutes left, when Blair Slapper’s shot from 35 yards away was saved, but the deflection bounced off the crossbar and landed at Marlborough’s feet for her third goal of the game.

Blair Slapper made sure the Huskers cashed in on their final opportunity when she sent the corner kick to the far side of the goalie box, where Carly Peetz got her foot on the ball before Berkshire calmly knocked in her first goal of the season. The game-winner in the 83rd minute came after Kylie Doniak’s pass got through the NU backline and Higgins fired a shot at Husker goalkeeper Jessica Mills that was saved in front of the goal. Mills was unable to corral the ball, and Higgins swept up the rebound for the winning goal.

Marlborough’s second goal of the day broke a 1-1 tie after Texas A&M tied the contest on a penalty kick (hand-ball) by Rachel Shipley in the 68th minute. Marlborough answered 14 minutes later, resulting from an intercepted pass by Julie Berkshire in front of the midfield line. Berkshire then fed the ball to Marlborough, who dashed through the Texas A&M defense right-to-left and sent in the game-winning goal from 15 yards away. Marlborough also connected in the 19th minute to give Nebraska an early 1-0 lead. Anna Caniglia took a free kick from 30 yards out, which was headed by Jordan Jackson before Marlborough swept up the pass on the left side of the net and scored off the crossbar.

Notes: Anna Caniglia turned in one of the best single-game performances in Husker history, as she scored three goals and added an assist to lead Nebraska to 7-4 victory at Kansas. Caniglia began the Husker scoring barrage in the opening minutes, earning her first goal of the game in the 10th minute on an impressive 35-yard shot near the corner flag that drifted into the far corner of the net for a 1-0 Nebraska lead. The Huskers did not waste any time striking again, as NU increased its lead to 3-0 on goals by Molly Thomas (24th minute) and Jordan Jackson (33rd minute). Nebraska was in danger of losing its early advantage when KU’s Caitlin Noble scored in the 51st minute to cut the Husker lead to 3-2. Caniglia answered with the most spectacular goal of the season, as she scored on a bicycle kick in the goalie box in the 59th minute to shift the momentum Nebraska’s way. Caniglia had only two goals all season before her three-goal explosion against the Jayhawks to mark the 27th hat trick in school history.

Notes: Despite a second-half deficit in cold and rainy weather conditions, Nebraska would not be denied on 2009 Senior Day, as Lauren Isenhower’s header in the 97th minute broke a 1-1 tie and sent the Huskers away with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Iowa State. Isenhower was one of six Husker seniors playing her last home game and came up with the biggest play of her career, as the win concluded Nebraska’s regular season with an 11-4-4 record, the best mark by a Husker team since 2005. Isenhower’s goal came off a cross from sophomore Molly Thomas in the far corner. Thomas gave Nebraska an opportunity for the win as she scored her eighth goal of the season in the 72nd minute, just nine minutes after Iowa State took a 1-0 lead on a Mary Kate McLaughlin header off a free kick.

Notes: Nebraska gave up two first-half goals and could not overcome the deficit against a tough Oklahoma State squad, as the Huskers dropped the first round of the 2009 Big 12 Championship in San Antonio, 3-0. Nebraska outshot Oklahoma State, 14-10, including five from Shay Powell. Shots on goal were even at five apiece. The Cowgirls scored the game-winner in the 11th minute when Kasey Langdon sent a pass into the 18-yard box from the sideline, which Annika Niemeier controlled and shot into the left side of the net. Katie Richardson extended the OSU lead to 2-0 with eight minutes remaining in the first half, dribbling into the box and connecting off the far post from 10 yards away.

in NU history, Anna Caniglia started all 79 games of her career, tying the Omaha native for eighth on the school’s all-time charts with teammate Carly Peetz and former Husker Stephanie Vacek (1994-97). In 20 contests her senior season, Caniglia was a key component to Nebraska’s fourth-place conference finish as a position change from defender to midfielder paid dividends for the Huskers. She finished the season tied for third in the Big 12 Conference with a team-leading nine assists, while also ranking third on the team with 19 points behind Morgan Marlborough (49) and Molly Thomas (23).

Caniglia flourished over the last month of the season with five goals in a seven-game stretch (Oct. 2-23).

Isenhower was a solid forward off the bench, helping the Huskers to three-goal performances against seven opponents, including a 3-0 shutout of Texas Tech on Oct. 19. She posted a season-high two shots, including one on goal, against UC Riverside on Aug. 29. She was also named to the academic All-Big 12 second team.

2007 (Sophomore) A torn anterior cruciate ligament in her knee in the spring of 2007 put Isenhower back on the bench for most of the early fall season, but she was able to rehab and return for seven games. Isenhower notched three shots, putting two on goal, as she helped Nebraska to key wins over Florida and Oklahoma during 2007.

2006 (Redshirt) Isenhower missed the entire 2006 season after suffering a knee injury while playing in Europe during the offseason.

2005 (Freshman) Isenhower made an immediate impact in her first season at Nebraska, scoring two goals and adding three assists, which tied for third on the team. Isenhower was moved to defense after injuries depleted the Huskers’ backline, but reappeared at forward against Kansas on Sept. 30, and primarily played up front the rest of the season. In her first game as a Husker, Isenhower scored her first goal, which proved to be the game winner in NU’s 3-1 win over Minnesota on Aug. 26. Isenhower then became a distributor in the Huskers’ second game, tallying a pair of assists in a 4-0 Nebraska victory over UAB on Aug. 28. The Lenexa, Kan., native was one of the first players off the bench early in the season and provided an excellent offensive option for NU. She earned the first start of her career against Rice on Sept. 11 and started every game the rest of the season. Isenhower scored the second goal of her career in the Huskers’ 6-0 rout at Oral Roberts on Oct. 14.

The 5-9 Shawnee Mission Northwest grad totaled seven points to rank fifth on the team and second among first-year players for the Huskers. Due to injuries in the backline, Isenhower, who recorded the fastest 40-yard dash on the team

and was known for her physical play, was moved to defender, where she earned the starting nod for four games before starting her first game at forward against Kansas. Isenhower’s quickness and ability to win balls proved useful in a variety of roles. She also showed the ability to sustain her level of play for long periods of time, playing a career-high 83 minutes against Kansas on Sept. 30.

High School Isenhower scored nine goals in 2003 en route to being named Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Player of the Year. Previously, Isenhower earned Best Newcomer, Most Skilled Player and MVP honors. In her final season, she was a co-captain and led the team with 17 goals and nine assists after missing almost the entire 2004 season with an injury. She helped lead Northwest to a 9-6-1 record in her senior season, while earning first-team All-Johnson County and All-Sunflower League honors. She added second-team All-Metro accolades.

She earned a career-high three points with a goal and assist in Nebraska’s 3-2 victory over Missouri, after posting an assist in a 2-1 NU win against Stephen F. Austin.

2007 (Sophomore) After splitting time between the offense and defense in 2006, Peetz established herself as a critical part of the Husker defensive lineup in 2007. Peetz started all 19 of NU’s contests on defense, but also lent her hand in the offense at times. Peetz led a Nebraska defense that notched two shutouts in the first four games of the season, while allowing just two goals in the other two contests. Peetz and NU blanked Northwestern to start the season on Sept. 2, and followed with a shutout of San Diego State. Peetz continued to improve as the season progressed, helping Nebraska hold No. 12 Florida to one goal in a 1-1 tie on Sept. 23, before notching one of her best performances five days later against Oklahoma.

Both of her scores in 2007 were game-winning goals.

2006 (Freshman) As a defender, Peetz started in every game and played every minute of Nebraska’s first six contests. Peetz was also one of only a few Huskers to play both sides of the pitch and was the only NU player to earn a start as both a defender and a forward. Peetz’s first career goal put the Huskers on the board against Iowa State on a pass from Brittany Timko off a set play. Peetz gathered another point with a pivotal

play against Baylor, as she notched her first assist by heading a ball into Aysha Jamani for the game-winner just 51 seconds into overtime. Peetz tallied another assist in Nebraska’s regular-season finale against Loyola-Chicago.

2009 (Senior)Shay Powell was one of the Huskers’ top offensive

threats for the third straight year, accounting for 13 points on four goals and five assists. She battled through injury problems at the beginning of the season to start in 17-of-20 games.

Powell came up with her biggest offensive performances in Big 12 play by scoring three goals in league contests. In a two-week span, the forward scored against Texas Tech in a 3-3 tie, netted the game winner in a 2-0 win over Oklahoma State and then scored Nebraska’s lone goal in a 1-1 tie vs. Baylor. A complete offensive player, Powell had a hand in Husker history, as she was responsible for the assist that gave teammate Morgan Marlborough a hat trick against Akron on Sept. 13. She also had an assist in Marlborough’s second hat trick of the season Oct. 11 vs. Oklahoma.

As the squad’s most successful student-athlete, Powell earned 2009 CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-America honors. Her award helped the University of Nebraska increase its nation-leading Academic All-America number to 277 across all sports. She was also a three-time first-team academic All-Big 12 selection and earned a spot on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll every term during college.

2008 (Junior)For the second consecutive season, Powell led the

Huskers in scoring, finishing the 2008 season with 19 points on seven goals and five assists. She notched back-to-back two-goal performances against UAB and Oakland, while earning the game-winning score in both contests. She followed with a three-point performance against North Dakota State with a goal and game-winning assist on Sept. 19, and posted a goal in NU’s upset of No. 25 Kansas. Another game-winning assist propelled the Huskers over Missouri, while she earned back-to-back assists against Colorado and Texas Tech.

Powell ended the regular season with a goal and assist against Iowa State, and led the Huskers with five shots, including three on goal, against Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 Championship. She ended the season averaging more than three shots per game and nearly one point per contest. Powell also led Nebraska in shots (63) and shots on goal (27). In the classroom, she earned first-team academic All-Big 12 honors for the second consecutive year.

2007 (Sophomore)Powell stepped into a starting role in a big way in

2007, as she finished as Nebraska’s leading scorer with 11 points on five goals and one assist. Playing in 18 contests with 15 starts, she was the only Husker to crack double digits in points.

Powell started the season on a hot streak with two goals on eight shots in the first three games. Her goal against Drake on Sept. 5 allowed the Huskers to tie the Bulldogs, while her goal against Missouri State helped secure NU’s 2-1 win on Sept. 7.

A quad injury in Nebraska’s contest with Tennessee on Sept. 14 caused Powell to miss her only game of the season and the next three starts, but she rebounded with a goal against Texas, as the Huskers battled the No. 3 Longhorns to overtime. Powell added a goal against No. 3 Texas A&M, before ending the season with a goal against Missouri and an assist versus Iowa State in the final two games.

Powell notched at least one shot on goal in the final eight games of the season, and put more than half of her shots on goal (15-of-27).

2006 (Freshman)A solid offensive reserve, Powell played in 16 of

NU’s 20 games in 2006, including one start in the season-opener against Wright State. With limited minutes, Powell was extraordinarily productive, scoring the first goal of her career against Iowa State. Powell played more minutes in each game as the season progressed and gained confidence in her shooting abilities. Overall, Powell launched 11 shots with three on goal in 2006, including a great chance at a goal in Nebraska’s win over Oklahoma, when she

fired a shot off a corner kick that was blocked by the Sooner defense.High School

Without a girls’ soccer program at Lutheran High School in Dallas, Texas, Powell played for the boys’ team under Coach Kurt Frieling and lettered all four years. Powell was one of the top three scorers for Lutheran three years running and captained the team in her senior year.

Powell also earned state-wide attention as the TAPPS Newcomer of the Year, as well as earning first- and second-team all-district honors during her tenure. She was the leading scorer in the 2005 Division 1 playoffs, a two-time tournament-leading scorer at the Pikes Peak tournament and owns the record for most consecutive goals scored in a game (three) in the Disney Cup.

Academically, Powell was a member of the Lutheran High Honor Roll, National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society. She also earned the President’s Award for Excellence.

Other InformationAfter spending her high school season with the

boys’ team at Lutheran High, Powell got a chance to test her skills against the girls while playing club soccer for the Sting 88 Royal. Under Coach Eric Dade, Powell helped her team to the 2005 State Cup finals.

Powell spent the summer of 2008 playing for the W-League’s Ottawa Fury in Canada.

Personal InformationShay is the daughter of Monica and Gary Powell

and has a sister, Katie, and a brother, Joe. Shay was born July 29, 1988. She earned a pre-law psychology degree from Nebraska in May of 2010.

Worth Noting During her career, Powell was the only Husker to reach a double-digit point total in her final three seasons. In addition to her academic honors, Powell was also a UNL Superior Scholar in 2010 and a three-time UNL Highest Honors Awards Recipient.

NSCAA All-Americans Although the Nebraska soccer program is still young compared with the other powers in women's collegiate soccer, the Huskers have already earned 16 All-America awards from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in the past 14 seasons. Midfielder Kari Uppinghouse became Nebraska's first first-team All-American in 1996. Uppinghouse provided a dominant physical presence in the midfield while leading the Huskers to their first NCAA Tournament and a 23-game winning streak as a junior in 1996. Two other Huskers, Lindsay Eddleman – who became Nebraska's first freshman to earn All-America honors – and goalkeeper Rebecca Hornbacher, joined Uppinghouse as All-Americans in 1996. In 1998, three Huskers earned All-America honors, including Sharolta Nonen, who became the first Nebraska player to become a two-time All-American. Isabelle Morneau and Kim Engesser also added the first honors of their careers.

In 1999, Morneau claimed her second straight second-team NSCAA award, while Nonen became the first Husker to be a three-time All-American. Jenny Benson earned first-team All-America honors as a senior defender in 2000, after moving from the midfield in the spring. Midfielder Meghan Anderson also earned first-team honors, while forward Christine Latham, the Big 12 Player of the Year, nabbed second-team honors. Latham scored a conference-high 46 points on 18 goals and 10 assists to earn third-team honors in 2001. She was also named to the third team in 2002, after scoring 35 points on 16 goals and three assists. Brittany Timko earned third-team All-America honors in 2004 and 2005. A three-time Big 12 Player of the Year, Timko finished the 2004 season with 15 goals, 13 assists and 43 points. In 2005, Timko set a Big 12-record with 21 assists and added 11 goals for a total of 43 points for the second consecutive season.

Huskers in the World Cup Beginning in 1991, the best women's soccer players in the world have battled for the Women's World Cup every four years in front of hundreds of thousands of soccer fans in stadiums across the globe. Canada is one of 16 teams that qualified for World Cup competition in 1999, 2003 and 2007 thanks in large part to former Huskers filling the Canadian roster. Husker Head Coach John Walker made his debut with the Canadian World Cup team as an assistant coach in 1999. He was joined on that team by five of his former NU athletes. In 2003, seven former and future Huskers made the 20-player roster. The Husker-heavy squad played to the semifinal match, where it was defeated by Sweden, putting it up against the United States in the consolation finals where it lost 3-1. Four Huskers earned roster spots in 2007. In all, nine former Huskers have played on women’s soccer’s grandest stage in the Women’s World Cup. 2007 Women's World Cup Four former NU greats made repeat appearances on the 2007 Canadian National Team. Tanya Dennis saw the most game action, as she appeared in three matches, while Brittany Timko and Amy Walsh each played in one game. Karina LeBlanc rounded out the Huskers to make the squad. Canada failed to advance past pool play, losing 2-1 to Norway to open the World Cup, before rebounding with a 4-0 win over Ghana. Canada scored just 37 seconds into its third match, but Australia rebounded to tie the game at two. The tie provided Australia the one point it needed to advance into the quarterfinals and edge out Canada.

2003 Women's World Cup Former Huskers Brittany Timko, Tanya Dennis and Sasha Andrews all saw action on the pitch for Canada in its fourth-place finish in the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the Canadian’s best finish in history. Timko played all 540 minutes in six contests of the World Cup and notched one assist in the tournament. Dennis played 450 minutes in the back in the first five games before suffering a concussion. Former Husker All-American Christine Latham was responsible for three of Canada’s 10 goals during the tournament, including two goals in a 3-0 win over Argentina. Making repeat appearances on the Canada World Cup squad in 2003 were All-America defenders Sharolta Nonen and Isabelle Morneau, and All-America goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc. All-American Breanna Boyd made the original roster, but did not compete because of an injury.

1999 Women's World Cup All-America defenders Sharolta Nonen and Isabelle Morneau, All-Big 12 midfielder Amy Walsh and All-Big 12 defender Tanya Franck earned spots in Canada's starting lineup, while All-American Karina LeBlanc played a key role as a reserve on a talented Canadian squad. In addition to the Huskers on the field, Nebraska Head Coach John Walker represented the Huskers on the sideline as an assistant coach with the Canadian National Team.

Huskers in the Pros With stellar collegiate careers behind them, several Huskers chose to continue their playing days at the professional level. Eleven former Nebraska soccer players were drafted into the Women’s United Soccer Assocation (WUSA), an eight-team league that ran from 2000 to 2003, while three former Huskers play in Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS), a seven-team league that started in the spring of 2009. NU is one of six schools to have at least two former players drafted in the WPS, and only seven programs have more players in the league. “We had 11 former Nebraska players in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), so it is great to see the tradition of former Huskers playing professional soccer continued in the new WPS,” Nebraska Head Coach John Walker said. “[LeBlanc and Latham] are talented players and have shown, with their national team and previous professional playing experience, they will succeed in the WPS.”

The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big 12 Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA PRINCIPLESInstitutional ControlIt is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

ResponsibilityThe University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.

ComplianceThe University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

Question and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic InterestsDEFINITIONSQ: What is a booster?A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either.REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What is a Prospective Student-Athlete?A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.

Q: What is a Student-Athlete?A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program.

Q: What is a contact?A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs.

Q: What is recruiting?A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.

GUIDELINESQ: What is a Booster?A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either.REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster?A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at UNL must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage UNL attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect’s educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend UNL; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend UNL; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the UNL campus for an official or unofficial visit.RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product.

Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan. EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12

Q: What are non-permissible benefits?A: Free or reduced-fee housing/rent including the use of vacation or seasonal homes; free or reduced-fee meals; loans or cash advances in pay or salary; tuition costs or school supply expenses; gifts or presents of any type regardless of the occasion or purpose; use of telephone for long distance or use of telephone cards and cell phones; free use of any motor vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle; free use of services (i.e., automobile repair, hair care, laundry, copying, faxing, etc.); free or reduced-fee memberships at golf courses, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.)BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16

Q: What type of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate?A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event.

Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible?A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, NCAA BYLAW 12
