2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S GOLF
THIS IS NEBRASKA
Nebraska continues to add to its impressive
tradition of success in women’s golf. In
2012, Madeleine Sheils became the first
golfer in Husker history to earn All-Big
Ten honors by taking third in Nebraska’s
first-ever Big Ten Tournament. Sheils, who
went on to compete at the NCAA Central
Regional in Columbus, Ohio, capped one of
the top careers in school history as a fourtime WGCA Scholastic All-American.
In 2008, the Huskers earned their 11th trip to the
NCAA Regional Championships, just missing
a bid to the 24-team NCAA Championships.
The Huskers have finished among the top 24
teams in the nation three times in the past 16
seasons. In 2006, the Huskers posted the best
NCAA Championship score in school history,
while finishing 20th at the event.
Entering her 29th season at the helm of the
Nebraska women’s golf program, Coach Robin
Krapfl has guided the Huskers to 30 tournament
titles, 11 NCAA Regional appearances and all
three of the school’s NCAA Tournament bids.
Husker women’s golfers epitomize Nebraska’s
commitment to success in athletics, academics
and life. Husker golfers have captured a
nation-leading 67 WGCA Scholastic AllAmerica honors. The Husker women’s golf
team is also one of NU’s most active teams in
the community.

Championships. Sasse was inducted into the inaugural class of the
University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall 2015.
