Southern Utah the next weekend in her fourth straight start. She added a run and an RBI against the
Thunderbirds. In March, Muir picked up her first pinch hit against New Mexico State, and she then
produced an RBI off the bench against Purdue on April 20. She started a five-run, sixth-inning rally
that propelled Nebraska past No. 9 Michigan on April 28 with a leadoff single. Muir’s pinch-hitting
success continued in the postseason, when she went 2-for-2 in a pair of pinch-hitting roles at the
Women’s College World Series. She ignited another rally against No. 2 Florida, beginning the bottom
of the seventh inning with a pinch-hit single. The Huskers went on to score three times in the frame

JUNIOR SEASON [2014]
Kylee Muir switched to the outfield in 2014 and earned the most extensive playing time of her
career. She entered the season with 33 career games played and 13 starts in her first four years in the
Husker program. In 2014, Muir eclipsed both of those totals, appearing in 54 games with 53 starts,
including 41 starts in right field, eight in left and four as the designated player.
Muir not only earned a starting role, she was also a very productive player in a record-setting
Husker lineup. Despite a slow start to the season, Muir finished with a .266 average, 12 doubles, four
home runs and 38 RBIs. She not only set career highs in every offensive category, Muir exceeded her
career total in every category. She also drew 20 walks on the season and made a smooth transition
to the outfield, posting a 1.000 fielding percentage in 28 chances. Muir totaled nine multi-RBI games
and six multi-hit efforts as a junior. She proved to be a clutch hitter, as she posted a .309 average with
runners in scoring position.
In Big Ten Conference play, Muir batted .354 with nine doubles, two homers and 21 RBIs in only
23 games. She ranked second in the league in doubles in conference games, and Muir led Nebraska
with a .464 batting average (13-for-28) with runners in scoring position during the league slate. The
outstanding Big Ten season highlighted an overall strong finish to Muir’s junior season. Muir’s season
average stood at .189 following the final game of March, before she went on a tear.
After settling into her everyday role, Muir hit .338 over the final two months of the season, going
27-for-80 during that stretch. Eleven of her 12 doubles came in the final two months, while she added
20 runs, 13 walks, two homers and 23 RBIs over the season’s final 28 games. Muir also produced five
of her six multi-hit efforts and five of her nine multi-RBI performances in April and May.
Muir had several clutch hits for Nebraska during the second half of the season. She hit her first
career grand slam and produced a then-career-high four RBIs against Iowa State in Nebraska’s home
