native was highlighted by two clutch performances.
In the Oct. 27 matchup against No. 16 Penn State,
Johnson gave Nebraska a 2-1 edge with a rebound
tap-in in the 83rd minute before PSU sent the game
into OT with the equalizer with less than two minutes
remaining. In overtime, the freshman fired a shot from
20 yards out to beat the Nittany Lions to the bottom
left corner for a thrilling 3-2 double-OT victory.
In the 2013 NCAA Tournament first-round
match against Southeastern Louisiana on Nov.
15, Johnson scored four goals to become the fifth
player and only freshman in NCAA Tournament
history to score four times. She is the only player
at Nebraska to accomplish the feat in NCAA
Tournament play. Only three others have scored
four goals for the Huskers in one match.
Johnson had a remarkable debut for the
Huskers. She earned her first career goal in the
52nd minute, beating the Southeast Missouri
keeper to the far post after a give-and-go pass
from Caroline Flynn. Johnson made it a multi-goal
debut with just minutes remaining, as she was
taken down in the penalty area after she eluded
the Redhawks defender. Johnson converted on the
ensuing penalty kick, giving NU the 4-0 victory to
open the season. Johnson became the first Husker
to score two goals in her first match.
In the Big Ten Championship match against
Iowa, Johnson tallied her sixth game-winning goal
of the year on a penalty kick in the 30th minute for
the game's only goal, as NU won 1-0 over Iowa to
claim the 2013 Big Ten Tournament title. Johnson
was taken down in the box as she stepped back to
make a shot attempt on her way to being named
Offensive Player of the Big Ten Tournament.
Johnson was named Big Ten Offensive Player
and Freshman of the Week on Aug. 26. Johnson
was Nebraska’s first Big Ten Freshman of the
Week selection and the first Husker since Morgan
Marlborough in 2009 to earn both offensive and
freshman conference awards in the same week.
The last Nebraska Offensive Player of the Week was
Mayme Conroy, who received the honor on Oct. 8,
2012, after recording a hat trick at Wisconsin.
