SWEET 16 NCAA TOURNAMENT FINISH 2013 | INTRODUCTION

2 | NEBRASKA WOMEN’S TENNIS | 2013-14

Huskers Seek To Build Off Program’s Most Successful Season After earning their first-ever Big Ten title and their first-ever NCAA Sweet 16 appearance, the Nebraska women’s tennis team hopes to come up big in its 2014 campaign. The team is a young one after losing four seniors and adding six freshmen to the lineup, but still look to press for an impressive season.

“We have several new faces joining the program,” Nebraska Coach Scott Jacobson said. “We believe we have a tremendously talented freshmen class.

Replacing our top four players in a year that was the program’s best in school history is a tremendously challenging task. However, we believe this year’s program will compete at an incredibly high level.

We, as a coaching staff and also as a team, are excited to get started. The leadership of our returning players Maggy Lehmicke, Izabella Zgierska, Maike Zeppernick and Lauren Wagner, will be very important to the success of our program.”

This year’s team only has two upperclassmen in senior Zeppernick and junior Zgierska. Two returning players are still sophomores, both Lehmicke and Wagner. The incoming freshmen class adds a wealth of inexperience to the team.

“Our incoming freshman class will fit in well with the philosophy of our program,” Jacobson said.

“We are expecting great things down the road.

This is the largest freshman class we have ever recruited and I’m sure there will be a learning curve that takes place. However, all of these individuals have tremendous integrity, work ethic and great character. These qualities will allow for constant and consistent growth both on and off the court.”

With only one returning senior in Zeppernick, the team will draw upon her experience for leadership and guidance. Zeppernick, a native of Hamburg, Germany, boasts a 56-40 combined record in her NU career. She has an impressive off-court resume claiming multiple academic honors such as Academic All-Big Ten, the ITAScholar-Athlete award, Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll, Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

“Maike’s game continues to grow,” Jacobson said.

“Maike’s greatest strength is her consistency and patience. We are expecting her senior year to be her best. Maike has a tremendous work ethic and will be a great role model for our program and especially the incoming freshman class.”

The lone returning junior is Zgierska, a native of Miesbach, Germany. Zgierska holds a 42-33 career combined mark for Nebraska and has received honors such as Academic All-Big Ten, Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and the Nebraska Herman Award.

“Izabella made great strides her sophomore year,” Jacobson said. “She seemed to gain confidence as the season progressed and we believe she has the ability to perform at a very high level. Trusting herself, relaxing, and just enjoying competing will allow her to perform at her highest level.”

Nebraska has two returning sophomores in

Lehmicke and Wagner. The two players will still be leaders on the team with only two teammates having more experience.

Lehmicke, a native of Kirkland, Wash., had a stellar freshman season and will continue to impress for the Huskers. Lehmicke enters her second season with a 34-23 combined overall and secured both the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and Nebraska Herman Award. Lehmicke’s singles abilities will play a crucial role in the Huskers lineup.

“Maggy had a very strong freshman year,” Jacobson said. “We believe she will continue to improve going forward. Maggy has a big game.

She will be a great leader for our program going forward.”

Wagner, a native of Roslyn Heights, N.Y., saw limited action during her opening season ending with a 2-6 overall record, but still plays a vital role in molding the young talent entering the lineup while improving her own game. Wagner claimed the Nebraska Herman Award and a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll.

“Lauren showed great strides her freshman year,” Jacobson said. “We are confident that Lauren will continue to progress her sophomore year.”

The 2014 season sees six freshmen entering the lineup. The six players coming in are Lisa Andersson, Brittany Brewster, Mary Hanna, Katerina Matysova, Hannah Sulz and Spurti Shivalingaiah.

Andersson, a naive of Varberg, Sweden, brings international experience to the team. Andersson was ranked No. 34 nationally in Sweden in 2012-13 and was also a Swedish National Team Championship finalist.

“Lisa has a big game and plays an attacking style,” Jacobson said. “Lisa has good aggression when the opportunity presents itself. She will be a tremendous benefit to us in both singles and doubles this upcoming season.”

Brewster, a native of Austin, Texas, had an impressive junior career in the U.S. Brewster was All-District and All-Region in high school for 2011-12 while claiming the 4A State Singles title in Texas. In 2012, she was the Austin Female Player of the Year.

Brewster’s experience provides excellent ground work entering her college career.

“Brittany is a lefty who can do it all,” Jacobson said. “One of Brittany’s greatest strengths is her mind. In observing her compete, she always has tremendous composure irrespective of the score.

This will bode well as she begins competing for the Huskers. Brittany will benefit us greatly in both singles and doubles.”

Hanna, a native of Saline, Mich., claimed Firstteam All-State in high school along with her No. 5 Midwest ranking. Hanna is unique with her lefthanded playing style.

“Mary is a lefty with a tremendously big game,” Jacobson said. “She has an attacking style of play.

Mary does a wonderful job and will punish her

opponent when her opponent leaves the ball short. Mary is an outstanding doubles player and aggressive.”

Matysova, a native of Erding, Germany, is one of four international recruits for the 2014 season.

Matysova boasted an ITF No. 384 ranking in juniors, a No. 97 ranking in Germany and No. 11 U16 ranking in Germany.

“Katerina is a grinder whose strength is her consistency,” Jacobson said. “Katerina has a strong mind, good court presence and plays intelligent, high-percentage tennis. We believe she is going to be a tremendous asset to the future of our Husker family.”

Sulz, a native of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada, earned a No. 16 ITF Junior ranking in Canada.

Sulz was the doubles champion at the Andulka Park Adult Open Tournament and received the Governor General’s Academic Medal in high school. Jacobson believes she can step into the lineup immediately.

“Hannah is someone we believe has a tremendous upside,” Jacobson said. “The strength of her game is definitely her forehand. She has the ability to hit a tremendously heavy ball and isn’t afraid to move forward when the opportunity presents itself.

Hannah has also had tremendous success in doubles as well and we believe she has the ability to step in and help our program immediately.”

Shivalingaiah, a native of Bangalore, India, was ranked No. 232 in the World Junior ITF U18 rankings as well as No. 1,110 in the International WTA women’s world rankings. She joined the Huskers in January but looks to compete for a spot in the lineup right away.

“We are certainly honored to have Spurti joining our Husker family,” Jacobson said. “She is a tremendous player. Spurti has a very aggressive game and loves to attack when the opportunity presents itself. She has had tremendous success on the international level and we expect her to have an immediate and positive impact on our program this coming season. In addition to being a great player, Spurti’s personality fits the team well. She is a very positive person that exudes good energy while competing. Spurti is a role model when it comes to work ethic. Her passion for the game will be evident the first time she steps on the court as a Husker.”

The Huskers have 24 regular season dual matches scheduled with 19 of them at home. All of NU’s nonconference matches will be at home and they host the ITA Kick-off Weekend for their second-straight season on Jan. 25-26. Six of their 11 conference matches are home matches, traveling only to Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern and Illinois.

The Cornhuskers hope to make their third Big Ten Championships appearance on April 24-27 in Evanston, Ill. hosted by Illinois, before awaiting the NCAA Championships announcements in May.

INTRODUCTION | 2013 BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON CO-CHAMPIONS

HUSKERS.COM | 5

Scott Jacobson Head Coach | Blue Earth, Minn. | 23rd Season Honors and Awards • Big Ten Regular-Season Title (2013) • Big Ten Co-Coach of the Year (2012) • Big 12 Coach of the Year (2005, 2010) • Six NCAA Tournament Appearances (2005, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) • Nebraska Herman Award (2005, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013) Scott Jacobson is entering his 23rd season as head coach of the Nebraska women’s tennis team, where he is the winningest and longest-serving coach in NU history.

Jacobson has guided the team to 16 straight winning seasons, dating back to the Big 12’s inaugural season in 1996-97, and has at least 16 victories in eight of the past nine years. He earned his 300th career victory in the 2011-12 season, as he enters this year with 333 wins. He also guided Mary Weatherholt to back-to-back Big Ten Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Year awards during the team’s first season in the conference in 2011-2012 and again in 2012-13.

Jacobson achieved his 250th career victory in the 2009-10 season, after entering with 243 wins. In the seventh match of the season against Air Force, the Huskers swept the Falcons 7-0 to give the coach the milestone victory. After laying a strong foundation in his first five years in Lincoln, Jacobson helped Nebraska become a fixture in the national rankings and a force in the Big 12 Conference.

Jacobson was named the 2005 Big 12 Coach of the Year after leading the team to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance and an 18-4 record. The following year, the Huskers made it to the semifinals of the Big 12 Championships, the farthest they have advanced in team history. They finished with a 17-10 record in 2006 and another berth to the NCAA Championships, while Kim Hartmann was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year.

In 2009, Jacobson helped the Huskers to their second straight 16-7 record, balancing a lineup of three talented newcomers along with three experienced seniors and four other returning letterwinners. The Huskers’ 7-4 Big 12 record was good enough for fourth place in the conference, the team’s second-highest finish ever and highest since it finished third in the 2005 season.

2010 saw the women’s tennis team achieved their most successful season to date under Coach Jacobson.

The team’s impressive 22-6 record featured a 3rd place Big 12 finish and the Huskers’ first ever victory in the NCAA Tournament against Illinois. In recognition of the team’s accomplishments, Jacobson was named the 2010 Big 12 Coach of the Year for the second time in his career at Nebraska.

Nebraska’s 2011 campaign reached comparable levels of success. The squad achieved a 20-8 record and a 4th place finish in their final season of Big 12 play. NU qualified for their third-straight NCAA Tournament and placed two student-athletes on the All-Big 12 singles team: Madeleine Geibert and Patricia Veresova. Under Jacobson, seven players have earned Big 12 individual titles, as well as 26 first-team All-Big 12 honors by 13 players.

The Huskers’ 2012 campaign under Jacobson saw a school-record 24 wins and the Big Red’s first appearance in a Big Ten Tournament. Mary Weatherholt earned a bid to the NCAA Individual Championships for singles where she fell in the first round, after earning the Big Ten Women’s Athlete-of-the-Year honor and a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. The scarlet and cream earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament and was knocked off in the second round. Coach Jacobson earned Big Ten Co-Coach of the Year honors for his guidance of the team.

In 2013, NU had its most successful season to date under Jacobson. The team earned its highest ranking ever in school history midway through the season peaking at No. 6 on the ITA list and finished

the season at No. 16. The team went to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, the furthest any squad has gone in program history. Seniors Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova were automatic qualifiers for the NCAA Individual Championships where Weatherholt was to play singles and team up with Veresova for doubles.

The duo made it to the quarterfinals where they lost as a member of the Elite Eight, becoming only the second pair in NU history to earn All-American doubles honors.

Weatherholt went 5-1 in the singles bracket earning a spot on one side of the championship match where she lost to defending champion Nicole Gibbs of Stanford, making Weatherholt the 2013 NCAA Singles Runner-up and solidifying her record-breaking season and becoming the most successful player in the program’s history.

Jacobson guided Weatherholt to 208 career combined wins, the team’s only player to ever break the 200 mark.

Weatherholt earned All-American singles and doubles honors and was awarded the Big Ten Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Year and Big Ten Sportsmanship Award for her second year straight.

German Dalmagro Assistant Coach | West Florida (2005) | First Season Honors and Awards • All-American, doubles (2004, player) • All-American, singles/doubles (2002-03, player) • No. 3 doubles national rank (player) • No. 11 singles national rank (player)

German Dalmagro (pronounced Her-mahn Dalmahg-ro) joined Nebraska on Aug. 12, 2013 as assistant coach for veteran head coach Scott Jacobson. The 2013-14 season marks his first on staff with the Huskers and Dalmagro looks to have an impact on the squad immediately. Dalmagro is a former member of the Kansas women’s tennis coaching staff where he spent six seasons with the Jayhawks from 2006-13.

“We are honored to have German joining our Husker staff,” Head Coach Scott Jacobson said. “He is an accomplished collegiate coach, a great player, established recruiter and fits the philosophy of our program very,

very well. German is an incredibly genuine person and someone I know this team will grow to appreciate. I feel tremendously privileged to have the opportunity to work with him and can’t wait to get started.”

In his final season with the Jayhawks in 2012-13, the team went 11-10 and made it to the Big 12 tournament where they fell in the second round. At KU, his responsibilities included on-court coaching, organizing travel and aiding in recruiting. His strong ties to the southern states landed standout products for KU during his time on staff. Dalmagro joined Kansas following a very successful playing and coaching career at Division II University of West Florida.

Dalmagro was an assistant coach of both the men’s and women’s teams at UWF prior to joining the KU staff.

During his year with West Florida, both teams reached the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. Dalmagro’s coaching stay at West Florida was brief, but his impact produced one of the most decorated tennis players in school history.

Dalmagro had a successful individual career at UWF and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Dalmagro was a member of UWF’s back-to-back NCAA Division II National Championship teams in 2004 and 2005, and was part of the 2005 Gulf South Conference Champion team and 2004 Gulf South runner-up squad. Dalmagro’s career was highlighted by All-America honors in 2004 (doubles), 2003 (singles and doubles) and 2002 (singles and doubles). Dalmagro was ranked nationally as high as No. 3 in doubles and No. 11 in singles.

Dalmagro saw success off the court while at West Florida, as he helped the Argonauts earn the 2004 National Award for highest team GPA and was named to the Dean’s List.

Prior to transferring to West Florida, Dalmagro played at ABAC. At ABAC, he was the NJCAA Player of the Year in 2003 and the individual National Champion in 2002.

Dalmagro’s tennis coaching experience stretches beyond West Florida. In 2004 and 2005, Dalmagro served as the head coach at the Nike Tennis Camp in Lawrenceville, N.J., and also coached at Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton, Ga., from 2002 to 2003.

Dalmagro graduated from West Florida, earning a degree in business administration with a specialization in management.

Dalmagro’s Coaching Philosophy

“I believe in assisting the student-athletes to reach and experience their full potential. To have an environment that encourages the athletes to learn and develop on and off the court.

By using the values of hard work, dedication, passion, discipline, mental toughness, and integrity, while focusing on the process, and not so much on the end results. My goal is to inspire and offer a positive approach in all areas that will help each athlete be the best they can be, and become a better person overall.”

Shawn Eichorst

Athletic Director | Wisconsin-Whitewater (1990) | Second Season Administrative Experience • Nebraska, Athletic Director (2013-present) • Miami, Athletic Director (2011-12) • Wisconsin, Deputy Athletic Director (2009-11) • Wisconsin, Executive Associate Athletic Director (2007-09) • Wisconsin, Senior Associate Athletic Director (2006-07) • South Carolina, Interim Athletic Director (2005-06) • South Carolina, Senior Associate Athletic Director (2004-05) • Wisconsin-Whitewater, Athletic Director (1999-2003)

Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th Director of Athletics of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity athletic teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees.

Eichorst succeeded legendary Nebraska football coach and Athletic Director Tom Osborne and officially assumed his duties on Jan. 3, 2013.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to join the University of Nebraska family,” Eichorst said. “Nebraska is an outstanding academic institution with one of the strongest athletic departments in all of college sports,” Eichorst said. “Most importantly, everyone here is committed to keeping the welfare of our student-athletes at the heart of everything we do. I am humbled by the responsibility and opportunities that lie ahead and will work diligently to carry on the rich tradition of Husker excellence set forth by Coach Osborne and so many others.”

Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it was Eichorst’s commitment to putting student-athletes first that made Eichorst stand out.

“When I asked him how I would be able to measure his success if he were here five years from now,” Perlman said, “his response was that if the coaches and studentathletes had been successful and nobody knows his name, it would be a success.”

Although his preference is to serve and lead diligently from the background, Eichorst has already canvassed the state promoting Husker Athletics and Nebraska’s tremendously talented student-athletes making more than 70 appearances across Nebraska and visiting eight other states in just his first seven months. Eichorst emphasizes academics first and is proud to acknowledge Nebraska’s nation-leading 307+ Academic All-Americans, including five who earned the honor in 2012-13. In fact, he invited all of the academic honor winners back to campus for a reunion in November. He has met with each college dean on campus and uses his monthly radio show and his Connecting on Campus column to promote campus, coach and student-athlete academic and community successes.

More than 200 Husker student-athletes were honored at the academic recognition banquet this spring while 188 were named Academic All-Big Ten in 2012-13.

During Eichorst’s first semester at Nebraska in the spring of 2013, women’s bowling, coached by legend Bill Straub, won a national title and Rhonda Revelle’s softball team advanced to the Women’s College World Series.

The women’s basketball team, coached by Connie Yori, completed a run to the Sweet 16 for the second time in program history and the women’s tennis team, coached

by Scott Jacobson, made an appearance in the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history and earned a share of the Big Ten title. Tennis player Mary Weatherholt finished runner-up at the NCAA Singles Championship, the highestever finish for a Nebraska tennis player.

In addition to women’s tennis, two other Nebraska teams added Big Ten titles in the spring of 2013, as the women’s gymnastics team, coached by Dan Kendig, won its second-straight Big Ten title and third-straight conference title overall. The men’s track and field team, coached by Gary Pepin, claimed the outdoor team title.

In the fall of 2013, three facility projects were completed: Memorial Stadium, which expanded to accommodate more than 90,000 football fans and will include the Nebraska

Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) and the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3) research facilities; Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, where the Husker men’s and women’s basketball teams will be permanent tenants; and the renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center, where volleyball, men’s and women’s gymnastics and the wrestling team will compete.

Construction for each of these three facilities began with Coach Osborne at the helm. Athletic Director Emeritus Osborne continues to provide Eichorst with counsel on a number of items including the East Stadium research initiatives. The collaborative research that will take place within an athletic facility shared by academics and athletics is believed to be the first of its kind and sets the tone for the leadership role Nebraska has taken in the Big Ten Conference and nationally.

Eichorst came to Nebraska after spending 18 months as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. He was named the 12th Director of Athletics at Miami on April 12, 2011 and served until Oct. 4, 2012 when he was hired

by Nebraska as a Special Assistant to Chancellor Perlman.

In his first year as Director of Athletics at Miami, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation as well as the fan base. Under his watchful eye, the Hurricane Club grew by more than 500 members, surpassing 5,000 members nationwide. More than $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12 and an additional $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised toward the new Center for Athletic Excellence facility, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2013.

During his tenure, both the Hurricane men’s and women’s basketball programs advanced to the postseason, with the women posting the highest national ranking in school history at No. 5, advancing to the NCAA Second Round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the fourth straight season and the baseball program extended its NCAA postseason appearances streak to 40 consecutive seasons.

The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA postseason win in program history, while the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA postseason for the third straight year and finished the season ranked 15th in the nation.

Before his appointment at Miami, Eichorst served from 2009 to 2011 as the Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Wisconsin, where his responsibilities under Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez included serving as the department’s Chief Operating Officer and overseeing the dayto-day operations of the highly successful athletics program. At Wisconsin, Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a

new ice hockey and swimming facility completed in the fall of 2012, as well as with the Student-Athlete Performance Center in the north end zone of Camp Randall Stadium.

He joined the Badgers’ staff in 2006 as a Senior Associate Athletics Director and was promoted to Executive Associate Athletics Director in 2007.

Eichorst has experience with three BCS conference institutions previously serving as University of South Carolina’s Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration from 2004 to 2006. With the Gamecocks, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised the football and baseball programs. The football team was bowl-eligible each year during Eichorst’s tenure, and the baseball program competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a state-ofthe-art football training facility.

Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at his alma mater, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater until 2003.

Under his tenure, UW-Whitewater developed into one of the nation’s top Division III athletic programs, with four top 10 percent National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors Cup finishes; one NCAA team championship; two NCAA team runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 38 Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, a three-time letterwinner and 1990 team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette University in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee before accepting the position at WisconsinWhitewater.

He is a past member of the NCAA Division I StudentAthlete Reinstatement Committee and State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He also previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He currently serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors.

In 2006, he was awarded the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year

by Marquette. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee.

Eichorst and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

The Nebraska women’s tennis team continued its climb to national prominence in 2013, reaching its first NCAA Sweet 16 while making its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers, who claimed a share of the 2013 Big Ten Conference title, were led by the most successful senior class in school history, including Janine Weinreich, Stefanie Weinstein, Mary Weatherholt and Patricial Veresova. Weatherholt capped the most successful career in school history by earning All-America honors in both singles and doubles play, including an NCAA runner-up finish in singles. She also advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in doubles play with Veresova, who added All-America honors in doubles. After hosting the first and second rounds of the 2013 NCAA Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska received approval to build a new oncampus indoor/outdoor tennis complex that is expected to be completed in 2014-15.

CHAMPIONSHIP FACILITIES

THIS IS NEBRASKA | FOUR CONSECUTIVE NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES

HUSKERS.COM | 25 Nebraska's top facilities are not limited to the men’s tennis program. Nearly every Husker sport enjoys a venue that ranks among the nation's best.

In 2013, approval was given to build a new indoor/outdoor tennis facility on the University of Nebraska campus to benefit both the Husker men’s and women’s tennis programs. The facility will be built in conjunction with a new varsity soccer stadium at Nebraska.

In 2013-14, the Nebraska men’s and women's basketball team moved into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln. The 15,000seat arena will be the new home of both teams while also attracting the nation’s top entertainers to Lincoln throughout the year. The nationally prominent Nebraska volleyball team moved into the Devaney Center in 2013, after the building received a $20 million renovation.

Top left: A brand new soccer/tennis complex will be built on the Innovation Campus northeast of city campus and is set to open in 2015.

Middle: Nebraska’s teams compete in some of the nation’s finest facilities in front of large crowds.

The Huskers are also committed to improving their facilities on an annual basis, including the new Hendricks Training Complex, which opened in the fall of 2011, and Pinnacle Bank Arena (top right), which opened in 2013-14 for Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball. Memorial Stadium expanded by more than 5,000 seats for 2013, while adding an innovative academic/athletic research wing in the East Stadium.

Bottom left: Memorial stadium closed the 2013 season with 333 consecutive home sellouts.

Bottom (left and right): The Osborne Athletic Complex provides Nebraska student-athletes with top-notch training facilities. The main entrance to the Osborne Athletic Complex and Traditions Lobby features an impressive waterfall and a wall that honors those who contributed to the massive project, as well as memorabilia and trophies from all of Nebraska’s bowl games. The soccer/tennis complex entrance will feature an archway walk-in (right).

ATHLETIC MEDICINE

Providing expert care to more than 600 Husker student-athletes, Nebraska features one of the most welltrained and highly skilled athletic medicine staffs in the country.

Under the guidance of Director of Athletic Medicine Dr. Lonnie Albers and Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Jerry Weber, the 2013-14 Nebraska athletic medicine staff consists of five doctors, 11 athletic trainers and six graduate assistant athletic trainers.

Nebraska’s team of orthopaedists is led by Chief of Staff Dr. Pat Clare, a nationally respected orthopaedic surgeon with more than 30 years of service to Husker athletics.

Above: Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Medicine Dr. Lonnie Albers coordinates the care of Husker student-athletes by using some of the best on-site technology in collegiate athletics.

The Athletic Medicine Center features a hydrotherapy area that includes a three-level laned pool, which allows student-athletes across all of Nebraska’s sports to work out simultaneously.

The Hydroworx 1000 Treadmill Pool is equipped with two cameras underwater for evaluation and assessment, while hot and cold plunge tanks are also available to the Huskers.

HUSKERS.COM | 27

The medical facilities at Nebraska have long been among the nation’s best, and NU’s athletic medicine center within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex will keep the Huskers on the front line of technology for decades to come. In addition to Nebraska’s North Stadium facility, the Bob Devaney Sports Center, Haymarket Park and Pinnacle Bank Arena all feature athletic medicine areas. The Devaney Center’s Athletic Medicine facility underwent an extensive expansion as part of the Hendricks Training Complex addition in 2011.

Using the best on-site medical equipment and resources in college athletics, the Nebraska athletic medicine staff provides Husker student-athletes with highly skilled medical care throughout the year.

NUTRITION

Nebraska’s Sports Nutritionists Lindsey Remmers works with all 24 of Nebraska’s sports by educating athletes on topics such as increasing lean body mass, losing body fat, staying hydrated, nutritional strategies for competition, maximizing recovery following workouts and supplement use. Athletes are given individualized nutrition plans that can be applied in Nebraska’s Performance Buffet at the Lewis Training Table, which was remodeled and expanded in the 2010 season. In addition to utilizing the Lewis Training Table each day for lunch and dinner, student-athletes also have access to fueling stations near strength and conditioning areas to provide fluids and nutritional foods before and after workouts to maximize performance and recovery.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

The success of Nebraska student-athletes reaches far beyond athletic competition.

More Husker student-athletes have been selected to CoSIDA Academic All-America teams (310) than any other school in the nation, and Nebraska has produced more NCAA Top Ten Award winners (17) than any other school. As it enters its third season of Big Ten Conference competition in 2013-14, Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions.

The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 107 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The Notre Dame football program ranks second among all sports nationally with 58 all-time academic All-Americans. In fact, Nebraska’s 107 football academic All-Americans would rank among the top 25 schools (all sports, all divisions) in the nation in the number of total CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans. The NU volleyball program has captured more academic All-America awards (37) than any other women’s team in the nation, while the Husker softball program ranks second on that list with 29 selections. Nebraska also ranks among the top 10 schools in the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in baseball, women’s basketball and men’s and women’s track and field/cross country. Over the past two years, the men’s and women’s track and field programs have produced 10 CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans - the most in the nation during that span.

Huskers Build on Academic Tradition in 2012-13

Husker student-athletes produced another outstanding year in 2012-13, continuing NU’s tradition of academic success. The Huskers added eight CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans and their nation-leading total has grown to 310 at the start of 2014. Nebraska’s eight academic All-Americans led the Big Ten Conference and ranked among All Sports as of December 2013 the highest totals in the nation across all divisions. NU maintained its lead of 76 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans over No. 2 Notre Dame. Since 2000, Nebraska has amassed a nation-leading 120 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, which would rank in a tie for 13th over the more than 60 years of the academic All-America program. Nebraska has produced at least one academic AllAmerican in 43 consecutive seasons.

Senior I-back Rex Burkhead captured first-team academic All-America honors for the second straight season, while senior linebacker Sean Fisher earned second-team honors for the second straight year. Fisher added a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
