ALL-BIG TEN DUO RETURNSSenior Alyvia Simmons and junior Tristen

Edwards return in 2019 as all-Big Ten picks.Simmons was named a second-team pick for

the second consecutive season in 2018, after also earning the honor in 2017 as a sophomore. Simmons started all but two games for the Huskers in 2018 and hit .346, which ranked second on the team.

Edwards was one of nine Big Ten players to earn unanimous first-team honors in 2018. She became the first Husker to earn first-team conference honors since All-Americans Kiki Stokes and MJ Knighten in 2016. Edwards led the team with a .356 batting average, while starting all 54 games at shortstop, despite never playing the position prior to the beginning of the 2018 season.

HUSKERS ADD PACIFIC TRANSFERDuring the offseason, Nebraska added junior

infielder Samantha Owen to its roster. Owen spent two seasons at Pacific before coming to Nebraska. Owen started 96 games for the Tigers over two seasons, appearing in all but four games. She batted .308 with 11 home runs, 53 RBIs and 46 runs in two seasons with the Tigers. She also earned first-team All-WCC honors in 2018 and was an honorable-mention selection in 2017.

ALL-REGION PICKS HIGHLIGHT ROSTER With addition of Samantha Owen, the Huskers return two All-Region picks in 2019, including Owen and senior Alyvia Simmons. Owen earned third-team All-West Region honors in 2018 at Pacific. Simmons earned third-team All-Midwest Region honors in 2018 for the second consecutive year, after also earning third-team recognition in 2017 as a sophomore.

BIG BATTERS BACK IN 2019 Nebraska returns its top two offensive leaders from 2018 in junior Tristen Edwards and senior Alyvia Simmons. Edwards led the team in nearly every offensive category last season including batting average (.356), runs scored (41), hits (57), home runs (12), RBIs (43) and slugging percentage (.650). She also ranked second on the team with 11 doubles and 23 walks. Simmons led the team with 12 doubles and four triples, while batting .346 which ranked second on the team in 2018. She scored 34 runs, stole a team-high 14 bases, hit two homers and drove in 24 runs. Sophomore Ally Riley also had an impressive 2018 season on offense. She batted .317 (20-for-63), which ranked third on the team among regular hitters and fourth overall. Riley also scored three runs, hit four doubles and had 14 RBIs as a freshman. Right-handed pitcher Olivia Ferrell went 7-for-21 (.333) in 2018 with two doubles and four RBIs.

IT’S IN THE CLUBSeveral Huskers have been teammates long

before arriving in Lincoln, playing together in high school and on the same club team. California natives Bri Cassidy and Tristen Edwards played for the Corona Angels. In Nebraska, Madi Unzicker, Alyvia Simmons, Rylie Unzicker, Payton Huscroft, Olivia Ferrell, Carson Fischer, Peyton Glatter and Courtney Wallace all played for Nebraska Gold.

HUSCROFT READY IN 2019Payton Huscroft is expected to be compete

for playing time this season after an injury forced her to redshirt in her first season at Nebraska.Huscroft never saw the field in 2018 and has four years of eligibility remaining.

FERRELL BACK IN THE CIRCLE Olivia Ferrell returns the season as Nebraska’s most experienced pitcher. As a freshman last season, Ferrell appeared in 31 games, making 20 starts. She finished with a record of 9-8 and an ERA of 4.35, which ranked second on the team. She pitched three complete games and was part of three shutouts. She pitched 109.1 innings, gave up 68 earned runs and recorded 53 strikeouts. Last season, Ferrell became the first Husker freshman pitcher to start a season opener against a ranked opponent when she kicked off the season against No. 19 BYU. She’ll help lead a pitching staff with just one other returner and three freshmen.

LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE NEW KIDSThe 2019 Nebraska roster consists of eight

new faces, including junior Pacific transfer Samantha Owen and freshmen Carson Fischer, Mikaela Forcum, Peyton Glatter, Anni Raley, Karlee Seevers, Courtney Wallace and Lindsey Walljasper. Despite being new, the group brings a lot of previous success that hopes to translate here at Nebraska.

SEASON NOTEBOOKNEBRASKA NICE

The group consists of senior Madi Unzicker, sophomores Olivia Ferrell, Rylie Unzicker and Sarah Yocom and freshmen Payton Huscroft, Carson Fischer, Peyton Glatter, Karlee Seevers and Courtney Wallace.

RECORD SETTERSIn the season opener against Lamar at the

Lone Star College Classic in Houston, Texas, Nebraska dominated the Cardinals, 14-2. In that game, senior catcher Bri Cassidy had three doubles which tied a Nebraska single-game record. Additionally, freshman right-handed pitcher/designated player Courtney Wallace hit a pair of triples, which also tied a Nebraska single-game record. Lindsey Walljasper started in the circle in the season opener, becoming just the third freshman to start a season opener since 1995. In that game, Walljasper pitched a complete five-inning game. She gave up no earned runs, seven hits and recorded eight strikeouts, while not giving up a single walk.

The next weekend at the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Nebraska’s final game against Pitt, Tristen Edwards went 4-for-4 with four hits, four runs and eight RBIs. The eight RBIs tied a Nebraska single-game record (seven innings or less), while her four hits tied for fourth and her four runs tied for second. Edwards also had two home runs in the first game against NC State.

B1G TIME HONORSOn Feb. 18, Tristen Edwards and Lindsey

NATIONAL ATTENTIONTristen Edwards was named the Louisville

Slugger/NFCA National Player of the Week (Feb. 19) and the College Sports Madness National Field Player of the Week (Feb. 18) after her outing at the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

WALLACE MAKING MOVES Freshman utility player Courntey Wallace has proved to be a valuable weapon for Nebraska at multiple positions. The Omaha, Neb., native has made 18 starts and has played in all but three games for Nebraska. Wallace has made starts at four different positions this season, including pitcher (four starts), third base (five starts), designated player (seven starts) and left field (two starts). Wallace is one of two players to make starts at more than two positions this season and the only one to make starts at four different positions.

OWEN HELPING HUSKER OFFENSE During the opening weekend, junior Pacific transfer Samantha Owen made one plate played in to games and went 0-for-1 at the plate. However, after some successful plate appearances the following weekend, she’s found a starting spot in the Husker lineup. Since the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Owen has played in all games. Her batting average has improved to .302, which ranks fourth on the team. Owen ranks second in the conference with an on-base percentage of .449. Most recently, Owen went 2-for-6 with one run and a homer against No. 25 Michigan last weekend.

MADI UNZICKER IS GETTING ON BASE From Feb. 8 to March 16, senior infielder Madi Unzicker reached base for 19 straight which was the longest by a Husker since All-Amercian MJ Knighten got on base 21 straight times in 2017. One reason Unzicker has been so successful is because isn’t afraid to use her body to get on base....literally. The Omaha, Neb., native has been hit five times this season which ranks fifth in the conference. The five this season bring her career total to 18. She is just one away from moving into the top 10 on Nebraska’s all-time hit by pitch list.

SIMMONS BACK IN THE LINEUP Alyvia Simmons returned as one of Nebraska’s top hitters this season, but she suffered a minor injury in the middle of the season that limited her playing time. However, Simmons has bounced back quickly and is performing quite well since getting back in the starting lineup. Simmons started the first 10 games, but was unable to start the following eight games. However, she’s been back in the starting lineup for the last eight games and is hitting .333 in that stretch, an improvement from her .275 season average.

She also ranks first in hits with 24, home runs with nine, RBIs with 27, walks with 16 and slugging percentage (.750). Edwards has two 4-for-4 games at the plate this season, most recently against Tulsa in game one of the Rock Chalk Challenge. Edwards also leads the team with nine home runs, which is tied for second in the conference. Edwards needs two home runs to rank in the top 10 on Nebraska’s career home runs list.

EDWARDS IS IN ELITE COMPANY Edwards has three multi-home run games this season and five in her career putting herself elite company. The only other Huskers to have at least five multi-home run career games are Tatum Edwards and Jennifer Lizama. Both Tatum Edwards and Jennifer Lizama earned multiple All-America awards while at Nebraska.
