The Huskers would not come up short again in 2002. Revelle's team quickly established
itself as a national title threat, as the Huskers posted a school-record 23-game winning
streak while beginning the season with a remarkable 34-6 record. During the hot streak,
Revelle's Huskers spent six consecutive weeks ranked fourth in the polls. Nebraska then
swept through NCAA Regional play to advance to the Women's College World Series. The
Huskers dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to Arizona in the opener before rebounding with a 1-0
win over Michigan. NU was then eliminated with a fifth-place finish following a 4-3 loss
to Florida State.
The 2003 season once again saw Nebraska rise to new heights. The Huskers opened
the season ranked in the preseason top five for the first time in school history. Revelle's
team quickly ascended to the No. 3 spot in the poll, spending three consecutive weeks in
the highest spot a Revelle-coached team has ever achieved. Nebraska was close to another
trip to the Women's College World Series, but each of the Huskers' final 13 losses on the
season were by two runs or less and Nebraska had to settle for a No. 13 final ranking and
a loss in the NCAA Regional semifinals at Bowlin Stadium.
Revelle's Huskers would again be selected as an NCAA Regional host in 2004 and 2005.
The 2004 Huskers swept the Big 12 Conference regular-season and tournament titles but
received a tough draw when the NCAA Tournament pairings were released. Narrowly
missing out on a national seed in the final season of eight-team regionals, Nebraska was
unable to get by a tough California squad in the regional finals, as the Huskers ended their
season with a 45-17 record and a No. 14 ranking, while the Bears went on to finish as the
national runner-up.
Nebraska fell victim to a tough schedule in 2005, as Revelle's team finished 36-23 but
the Huskers were still highly regarded enough to earn the No. 25 spot in the final poll.
Nebraska was selected to host an NCAA Regional, but the Huskers were eliminated with
a pair of one-run losses after winning their opener.
Revelle's Huskers rebounded with a stellar 2006 season in what may have been one of
Revelle's finest coaching efforts. Nebraska did not feature an All-American in 2006, but that
didn't stop the Huskers from finishing 44-12 and posting the program's third-best singleseason winning percentage. Revelle's Huskers came together as a team to finish as the
Big 12 regular-season runner-up while advancing to a ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament
appearance and finishing the season ranked 14th in the final poll.
The 2007 Huskers featured one of the top pitching staffs in school history, as Nebraska
finished ninth nationally in ERA. NU finished with a 37-20 record and was selected to host
a fourth NCAA Regional at Bowlin Stadium in the span of five seasons.
After a disappointing finish in 2007, Revelle was faced with a challenging outlook the
next season. The 2008 Huskers were the youngest group in school history with no seniors
for the first time ever and 12 players with one season or less of collegiate experience. The
youth, combined with a flurry of injuries led to a 25-28 finish that marked Nebraska's first
losing season since 1994, Revelle's second season as Husker head coach.
