10 conference championships
NEBRASKA
THIS IS
Since the Nebraska soccer program’s inaugural season in 1994, Coach John Walker has been on a mission to construct teams and develop players ready to
compete for conference and national championships. In 20 seasons, Walker has developed a program that has competed among the elite in collegiate soccer.
In two decades, Nebraska has earned 290 wins and made 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, including eight trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 and a pair of
Elite Eight berths. In that time, the Huskers also won a conference-best five Big 12 Tournament titles and had 70 student-athletes earn first-team All-Big 12
honors. The Huskers transitioned to the Big Ten Conference in 2011, have added eight all-conference honors and claimed both the Big Ten regular season and
tournament titles in 2013. Nebraska’s athletes consistently go on to find success at the next level of soccer as professional and national team players.
One of the reasons Nebraska has been able to develop 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. In 2015, the Huskers begin play in the brand new Barbara Hibner Stadium, part of a $20.4 million project in
conjunction with the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex. The new soccer facilities include one outdoor, lighted, full-sized competition field with seating for
approximately 2,500 spectators. With a wealth of support and a history of success, Nebraska soccer expects to contend for more championships in the years
to come.
