Top left: The Nebraska women’s bowling team captured its fourth NCAA title
since it became an NCAA sport in 2003. Kristina Mickelson, the lone senior on
the squad, clinched the title with a strike in the second-to-last frame of the
sixth game victory over Vanderbilt. All-American Liz Kuhlkin earned NCAA
Tournament MVP honors, while Mickelson went on to win the X-Singles
National Championship.
Middle: Eight-time All-American Emily Wong led the Huskers to their third
straight conference title and second straight Big Ten title. Wong was the
2013 Big Ten All-Around champion and added CoSIDA Academic All-America
honors.
Top: Jordan Hooper earned All-America honors for the second straight season
while helping the Huskers to their second NCAA Sweet 16 in the last four years.
Hooper, who was a starter on the gold-medal winning USA Basketball Women’s
World University Games Team in 2013, returns for her senior season in 2013-14.
Bottom: All-America twin sisters Tatum (left) and Taylor Edwards (right)
powered the Nebraska softball team to the Women’s College World Series
in 2013. Tatum earned All-America honors as a pitcher for the Huskers in
2013, while Taylor was an All-America catcher as a freshman in 2011. Both
return to rewrite the Husker record books in 2014.
Bottom: All-American Ameer Abdullah found plenty of daylight in 2013, rushing
for 1,690 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He will enter the 2014 season
1,803 yards behind Nebraska's all-time leading rusher, 1983 Heisman Trophy
winner Mike Rozier.
