2013 (Sophomore)
Odermann saw action in 22 of Nebraska's 24
matches. She averaged more than 64 minutes per
contest, including a stretch of five matches where
the sophomore played the full 90 minutes.
Odermann recorded a pair of postseason assists
on the year. She connected with Mayme Conroy in
Nebraska's first-round Big Ten Tournament victory
over Minnesota on Nov. 6. Odermann added an
assist on another Conroy goal in NU's secondround NCAA Tournament loss to Boston College on
Nov. 22.
Odermann was logging more than 80 minutes
per game prior to being slowed down by a
midseason injury. Odermann played a part in seven
shutouts for the Husker defense.
2012 (Freshman)
Odermann was one of two true freshmen to
start all 20 games for the Huskers in 2012.
Odermann, who captured Big Ten All-Freshman
honors, was part of a defensive unit that posted
three shutouts on the season, while holding
opponents to a goal or less nine times. Offensively,
she contributed two goals and a pair of assists.
Odermann led the Huskers to their first win
of the season on Aug. 26, a 2-0 victory over New
Mexico at the Nebraska Soccer Field. Odermann
assisted on Kraeutner's goal at 38:34, then headed
in a pass from Stacy Bartels at 55:14 for Odermann's
first goal as a Husker.
Odermann picked up her second assist of the
season in a 2-1 overtime loss to Purdue. Following a
corner kick from Caroline Gray early in the first half,
Odermann attempted a header, but it was blocked
by Boilermaker goalie Clara Kridler. Mayme Conroy
was there for the rebound.
Two days after the Purdue loss, Odermann and
the Huskers got back on the winning track with
a 2-1 win over Indiana. After Conroy scored at
63:49 to put the Huskers ahead 1-0, Odermann
delivered a header on a corner kick from Gray at
68:31. The goal proved to be the game winner, as
Indiana avoided a shutout by scoring a goal with 15
seconds left in regulation.
High School
Odermann was one of two players from Millard
North High School to sign with the Huskers in 2012,
joining teammate Alyssa Flannery.
One of the top defenders in the state, Odermann
was both a Super-State pick by the Lincoln Journal
Star and a first-team All-Nebraska selection by the
Omaha World-Herald following both her junior and
senior seasons.
She helped the Mustangs post 16 shutouts
during her junior season and another 15 during her
senior season in 2012.
Odermann and the Mustangs entered the
2012 state tournament looking for their second
straight Class A title as the No. 2 seed, but they fell
to Lincoln Southeast in the semifinals following a
2-0 opening-round win over Lincoln Southwest.
On the year, Odermann scored four goals and
added five assists.
As a junior in 2011, Odermann helped Millard
North win its sixth state title with a 2-1 overtime
win over Lincoln Southeast. The Mustangs finished
second in 2009 and reached the semifinals in 2010.
Odermann chose Nebraska over Creighton
and Kansas.
