Sophomore (One Letter)
Austin, Texas (Austin Lake Travis)
OUtlook (2015-16)
Emily Gillman hopes to shave strokes off her game in her
second season with the Huskers in 2015-16. The sophomore
from Austin, Texas, closed her freshman season with a 78.22
stroke average, which ranked as the seventh-best season by a
freshman in Nebraska history.
Gillman was a consistent performer in the Husker lineup
during the spring of 2015 and was NU’s No. 4 finisher at the
Big Ten Championships. She could be poised for a significant
improvement in her scores in her second season working with
the Nebraska coaches.
“Emily has a ton of potential and she has shown impressive
improvements the past year,” Nebraska Coach Robin Krapfl
said. “It is going to be exciting to be a part of her continued
improvement as she matures as a golfer.”

Freshman (2014-15)
Gillman made an immediate impact as a freshman,
consistently battling for time in the Husker lineup. She made her
first appearance in the NU top five at the GolfWeek Conference
Challenge in Vail, Colo., Sept. 22-24. Gillman, who traveled to the
tournament to play as an individual, replaced fellow freshman
Audrey Judd in the Nebraska lineup at the tournament. Gillman
helped the Huskers with a three-round score of 237 (79-82-76)
to tie for 64th in a strong field.
Gillman appeared in Nebraska’s top five at all five
tournaments during the spring, including a career-best 224 (7574-75) at the Westbrook Invitational in Peoria, Ariz., Feb. 22-23.
Her second-round 74 was a career best. Each of her three rounds
at Westbrook counted toward NU’s team score, as she matched
Cassie Deeg as the Huskers’ No. 2 finisher in a tie for 48th.
Gillman matched her season and career bests with a threeround score of 224 and a 74 in the second round at the Mountain
View Collegiate in Tucson, Ariz., March 20-21. She settled for
a tie for 73rd (81-81-83-245) at the SMU/Dallas Athletic Club
Invitational, April 10-11.
Gillman bounced back to earn a lineup spot for the Huskers
at the 2015 Big Ten Championships in Indianapolis, April 24-26,
closing as NU’s No. 4 finisher in a tie for 67th at 237 (83-76-78).
She ended the season with a 78.22 stroke average which ranked
No. 7 among all freshmen in Nebraska history.
In between her career-best three-round totals in the spring,
Gillman was NU’s No. 3 finisher in a tie for 60th (85-75-80-240)
at the Clover Cup in Mesa, Ariz., March 13-15.
Gillman competed as an individual at the Ron Moore
Intercollegiate in Highland
