TATUM EDWARDS TOSSES TWO NO-HITTERS
Tatum Edwards tossed the only two no-hitters of her career in her senior
season. She threw a six-inning no-hitter against Boise State in her home
state of California on Feb. 23, allowing only two walks and striking out five.
Edwards then joined two-time All-American Lori Sippel - Nebraska's pitching
coach - as the only Huskers to throw a postseason no-hitter when Edwards
no-hit Bradley in NU's 9-0 five-inning victory over the Braves at the NCAA
Regional. In that game, Edwards walked two and struck out three.
TAYLOR EDWARDS SETS NU CAREER HOME RUN MARK
Taylor Edwards hit 18 home runs in 2014, tying the total from her freshman
year for the second-highest mark in school history. Fueled by two of NU's
three highest single-season home run totals, Edwards ended her career as
Nebraska's all-time leader with 54 home runs. She broke the previous record
of 53 set by three-time All-American Ali Viola. Edwards' record-breaking
homer came in a victory at No. 15 Missouri in the NCAA Regional.
FOUR HUSKERS NAMED FIRST-TEAM ALL-REGION
Hailey Decker, Tatum and Taylor Edwards and Emily Lockman were each
named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region first team in 2014. The four firstteam honorees were the second-most in program history and the most since
2002. The Huskers were one of eight teams nationally with four first-team
all-region honorees. Lockman and the Edwards twins each earned first-team
all-region accolades for the second time in their careers. Lockman is the first
Husker pitcher to be a first-team all-region selection as both a freshman and
a sophomore, while Tatum Edwards and Lockman became the first pair of
Nebraska pitchers to earn first-team all-region honors in consecutive seasons.
SEVEN HUSKERS EARNED ALL-BIG TEN HONORS
Hailey Decker and twins Tatum and Taylor Edwards each earned first-team
All-Big Ten accolades in 2014, while Alicia Armstrong, MJ Knighten and Emily
Lockman were second-team honorees. The Edwards twins were first-team
All-Big Ten performers for the second straight season, and Tatum was the
pitcher on the Big Ten All-Defensive team and Taylor was the catcher. Tatum
ended her career as a four-time all-conference honoree, while Taylor garnered
three all-conference selections in her career.
Armstrong and Lockman both earned second-team All-Big Ten accolades
for the second straight season as sophomores. Lockman became just the
fourth Husker pitcher to be named an all-conference performer as both a
freshman and a sophomore. Knighten earned second-team All-Big Ten honors
as a freshman. Knighten was the only freshman position player named AllBig Ten, and she was the first Husker freshman third baseman to be an allconference selection since Tobin Echo-Hawk in 1993.
REVELLE NAMED BIG TEN COACH OF THE YEAR
Rhonda Revelle was selected as the 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year in a
vote of her peers. The honor was the fourth of Revelle’s career, as she was
voted the Big 12 Coach of the Year in both 1998 and 2001 and the Big Eight
Coach of the Year in 1995. Revelle has been honored as coach of the
