Leigh Ann Walker earned second-team All-America honors as a sophomore, when
she finished with a team-best 1.58 ERA and 233 strikeouts. Walker became the Nebraska
career strikeouts leader May 17, 2002, in Nebraska’s NCAA Regional win over Iowa. Walker
struck out six Hawkeyes in six innings to break Lori Sippel’s 14-year-old mark of 838 career
strikeouts. Walker currently ranks fourth on NU’s all-time strikeout chart.
Walker, who in 2000 became the third Husker to record two 20-win seasons, ended her
career ranked among the NU leaders on several other charts, including victories (third, 81),
winning percentage (second, .764), innings pitched (seventh, 670.0), earned-run average
(10th, 1.62), shutouts (fifth, 27), and saves (sixth, eight).
One of the fastest players in school history, Anne Steffan batted .388 with a schoolrecord 32 stolen bases in her final season at Nebraska. She
