2015 Nebraska Soccer
11 ncaa tournament appearances
International Huskers
Players have consistently risen from Nebraska to the
next level of the sport, including World Cup and Olympic
competition. Three former Huskers represented Canada at
the 2008 Olympic Games, in the country’s first-ever Olympic
appearance, while Brittany Timko and Karina LeBlanc both
represented Canada at the 2012 Games in London. Since
the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1991, 11 former
Nebraska soccer players have participated in 17 World Cup
competitions. In 2003, seven former Huskers made up the
20-player Canadian roster that advanced to the semifinal
match. Four former Huskers joined the Canadian squad
for contests in the 2007 World Cup, two more Huskers
competed in the 2011 World Cup and an additional pair
made appearances in the 2015 World Cup. The 2015 World
Cup also saw action from former Husker Ari Romero, who
represented Mexico in the international contest.
