*Broke NU's previous career win record held by Ron Wolforth
^Became Nebraska's all-time coaching wins leader in any sport
Note: Revelle's career record was adjusted following the 2003 season when it was
discovered that four wins were inadvertently credited to her career total. The wins in
question were four games forfeited by Oklahoma in 1994.

Nebraska fared well at the 2013 Women's College World Series despite an 0-2 record.
Both of NU's losses were in extra innings, as the Huskers fell 4-3 to Washington in eight
innings in the series opener, before dropping a memorable 9-8 15-inning decision to No. 2
Florida in an elimination matchup. All three of the Huskers' postseason losses were one-run
setbacks in extra innings, proving a young Nebraska team could compete with any opponent.
Individually, Tatum Edwards earned second-team All-America honors in 2013, becoming the
first Husker to garner first- or second-team All-America accolades since 2004. After limited
pitching experience in her first two seasons, Edwards compiled a 30-10 record in 2013, while
ranking in the top 15 nationally in wins and shutouts. Three Huskers were also all-region
selections, while seven Huskers earned all-conference recognition.
In 2014, Tatum (third team) and Taylor (first team) Edwards both earned All-America
accolades to end their careers as the seventh and eighth multi-time All-Americans in school
history. The lone seniors on the 2014 team, the twins helped the Huskers win an NCAA
Regional title for the second straight year. NU posted a 44-18 record in 2014 against one of
the nation's toughest schedules. Nebraska won 15 of its final 16 conference games to earn a
share of the Big Ten regular-season title with an 18-5 record in league play.
With a conference and regional title to its credit, Nebraska was one of the nation's top
teams in 2014. By finishing in a tie for ninth at the NCAA Tournament, the Huskers recorded
their second straight top-10 national finish and their eighth in the past 18 seasons. With only
two seniors and just four upperclassmen, Nebraska had the fewest upperclassmen of any
team in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
Leading a young team to such success played a role in Revelle being named the 2014 Big
Ten Coach of the Year. Riding the momentum of a conference title, Revelle's Huskers won four
games in less than 24 hours to win the NCAA Columbia (Mo.) Regional, becoming only the
second team in NCAA history to lose its regional opener and then come back through the loser's
bracket and twice defeat a national seed on its home field to win a regional title. The Huskers
then gave No. 2 Alabama all it could handle in the Super Regional, as Nebraska dropped a
pair of one-run games to the national runner-up, including a 12-inning loss in game one.
In addition to success on the field and in the classroom, the Huskers have seen a dramatic
increase in fan support under Revelle. NU has called Bowlin Stadium home since 2002, and
the Huskers have finished in the top 10 nationally in average attendance in six of the 13
seasons since the stadium opened. The 2004 Huskers attracted a then-school-record 19,103
fans and led the nation with an average increase of 340 fans per game, while finishing third
in total attendance and fourth in average attendance (955). That mark was topped in 2014,
when Nebraska averaged 963 fans per game.
The program set a world record for the World's Largest Softball Tailgate when 1,752
fans came out to watch Nebraska beat Wisconsin in the final game of the 2012 season. The
Huskers then broke that record in 2013 when 1,840 fans - the fourth-largest crowd in school
history - came out to see No. 16 Nebraska battle No. 9 Michigan. The largest crowd in school
history set another World's Largest Softball Tailgate attendance record in 2014, when 2,204
fans came out to watch Nebraska play Ohio State.
Media exposure for the program has also seen a dramatic rise as Revelle has continued
to build the program. In addition to national television appearances on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU,
Fox Sports Net and ѡ
