McCook, Neb.&nbsp; – North Platte fell to Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference leader (RV) McCook Community College in a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon.

The Indians opened up the scoring with three runs in the first inning and a five run second inning.

North Platte got two runs back in the top of the fourth inning by kick starting the frame with back-to-back singles from Victoria Arellano and Heaven Hutchison. Hutchison’s single moved Arellano into scoring position and a sacrifice fly to right field plated the first run of the game.

McCook retired the next two batters before an error by the shortstop allowed Hutchison to score. Paige Warren struck out the next North Platte batter and limited the Knights to just one more hit over the next three innings to close out the win.&nbsp;

Sheena Smith went the entire way allowing eight runs on seven hits, while striking out two in six innings of work.

McCook continued their momentum into the second game while jumping out to a 16-0 lead in the opening four innings. Strong pitching held the Knights offense without a hit, as Lexi Knapp and Olivia Moorhead combined to retire six North Platte batters.

Alieze Moreno pitched 2.2 innings in the loss. She allowed eight runs on six hits and struck out two.

Knights (4-14) return to Region IX action on April 1 against Central Community College. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. at the Dowhower Softball Complex in North Platte.

Husker Baseball at Kansas State Preview & Notes

North Platte, Neb.&nbsp; – North Platte Community College softball used a total of 24 hits across two games to sweep Fort Hays Tech Northwest on Monday.

North Platte 5 Fort Hays Tech Northwest 0

The Knights had seven different players notch at least one hit in the opening game of the doubleheader. Victoria Arellano and Heaven Hutchison were the only pair to tally double digit hits in game one.

North Platte got on the board in the first inning after a Sheena Smith double plated Arellano from second. The Knights went on to add three more runs in the bottom half of the second inning. An RBI single by Alieze Moreno plated Byanka Tyan before an Arellano double to center advanced Moreno all the way around the basepaths. The final run of the inning crossed the plate just one batter later on a single down the right field line.

North Platte tacked on an insurance run in the fourth inning when an error by the center fielder allowed Afia Hunt to score.

Smith went all seven innings to claim the win while allowing no runs on just three hits.

North Platte 10 Fort Hays Tech Northwest 2

The Tigers opened up the scoring with two runs in the top of the first inning. North Platte answered in the bottom of the frame when a single from Arellano brought Moreno around to score.

North Platte took advantage of the Tiger errors in the third inning, as two errors allowed Moreno to advance to second base to lead off the inning. A grounder back to the pitcher advanced the baserunner before a line out to right field advanced the runner to tie that game up at 2-2.&nbsp;

The offense exploded in the fourth inning as four runs scored on five hits. Tyan reached on an error by the right fielder, before four straight singles tacked on three North Platte runs. A double by Hutchison brought the final run across the plate as North Platte took a 6-2 lead.

Huskers leverage Gopher errors, lock up series sweep

Story by NU Athletic Communication

Nebraska fell 7-1 to USC in the rubber match of the weekend series on Sunday afternoon at Great Park in Irvine, Calif.

Nebraska (10-13, 2-7 Big Ten) scored one run on seven hits and two errors, while USC (14-9, 4-5 Big Ten) totaled seven runs and 11 hits.

Case Sanderson and Dylan Carey led the Big Red at the plate with two hits apiece. Gabe Swansen recorded a double, while Robby Bolin and Will Jesske had one hit each.

Jackson Brockett fell to 0-2 on the season after surrendering four runs, two earned, on six hits and a walk across 3.2 innings. Gavin Blachowicz allowed two runs on three hits across 1.1 innings of work, while Pryce Bender tossed two frames, giving up one run on two hits. Jalen Worthley worked a scoreless eighth inning to conclude the action for the NU pitching staff.

The Trojans scored runs in the first two innings to jump out front 2-0. A misread fly ball fell for a one-out double in the bottom of the first, before an RBI single through the right side broke the scoreless tie.

A one-out single, followed by a fielder’s choice, had a runner on first with two outs for USC in the bottom of the second. The lead doubled to two for the Trojans with an RBI double down the left-field line.

USC capitalized on a one-out throwing error from the Huskers to grow the lead to four in the bottom of the third. A single through the left side and a groundout to first placed runners on and second and third with two outs, setting the table for Richard Tejeda’s two-RBI single to the right-center gap that gave the Trojans a 4-0 advantage.

The NU offense threatened in the top of the fifth when singles by Jesske and Sanderson had runners on first and third with two outs, but the Big Red couldn’t plate their first run and cut into the deficit.

Back-to-back solo homers over the left-field fence to open the bottom of the sixth extended the Trojans’ lead to six, while a one-out solo homer in the bottom of the seventh had USC out front 7-0 through seven innings.

The Huskers plated their lone run of the afternoon in the top of the eighth inning. Riley Silva was plunked to begin the frame, and Sanderson singled through the right side to put runners on first and third with no outs.

Brumbaugh lifted an 0-1 pitch to center field for a sacrifice fly, allowing Silva to come home from third and make it a 7-1 game.

The Big Red had runners on second and third with no outs in the ninth after consecutive hits from Carey and Swansen, but the next three Huskers were retired in order to preserve USC’s 7-1 win on Sunday.

Nebraska travels to Manhattan, Kan., for a midweek matchup at Kansas State on Tuesday, March 25. First pitch between the Huskers and Wildcats is set for 6 p.m. at Tointon Family Stadium on ESPN+.

The Supernovas come off one of the most impressive weekends in franchise history, pulling off their second-ever reverse over Indy on March 13 before beating the Orlando Valkyries for the first time in 2025 with a four-set win on March 15. The two road wins kept Omaha’s place at the top of the PVF standings while matching a franchise-best four-match winning streak. Plus, it was the sixth-consecutive road victory for the Supernovas, which extends the franchise record.&nbsp;

Indy hopes to earn its first-ever win over Omaha after being reversed swept by the Supernovas last week at the Fishers Event Center. The Ignite are 7-2 all-time at home with the only two losses being to Omaha. Indy comes to CHI following a five-set win over the last-place Columbus Fury Thursday night. Setter Sydney Hilley dished out 68 assists in a balanced offensive attack as five different players reached double-digit kills. Reigning PVF Player of the Week Azhani Tealer spearheaded that effort with 17 kills while Carly Skjodt and Lydia Martyn each added 16.&nbsp;

Season Series:&nbsp;Fourth of four meetings, two of two at CHI Health&nbsp;Center&nbsp;

All-Time Series:&nbsp;Omaha leads 3-0 (March 13, 2025, last matchup, 3-2 Omaha).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Supernovas outside hitter&nbsp;Brooke Nuneviller&nbsp;eclipsed the 500-kill mark in her Supernovas career on 3/13 at Indy and now sits with a total of 529 kills in her two seasons with Omaha. With 18 digs on Saturday versus the Valkyries, she became the first player in PVF history to achieve 500 kills and 500 digs. Setter Natalia Valentín-Anderson also reached a milestone against Indy, recording her 1,000th career assist with the franchise. Her Omaha career total stands at 1,003. Middle blocker Kaitlyn Hord is three blocks away from becoming the third player in PVF history to record 100 stuffs. She recorded 42 blocks in 72 sets last season in Columbus.&nbsp;

The Supernovas have the biggest home court advantage in pro volleyball, but they've also been mighty on the road. That includes the league's best road record at 8-2. Omaha and Orlando (4-3) are the only teams in the PVF to have a road record at .500 or above. The Supernovas have won six-straight road matches including four straight overall which are both franchise records.&nbsp;

Omaha middle blocker&nbsp;Kaitlyn Hord&nbsp;has been the premier blocker in the PVF so far in the 2025 season. The former Husker and Nittany Lion leads the league in both total blocks (55) and blocks per set with a 0.96 mark. Hord's seven blocks in the five-set win over the Atlanta Vibe on opening night set a Supernovas single-match record. She is also one of five players in the PVF to record seven or more blocks in a match this season.

The two road wins kept Omaha’s place at the top of the PVF standings while matching a franchise-best four-match winning streak. Plus, it was the sixth-consecutive road victory for the Supernovas, which extends the franchise record.&nbsp;Indy hopes to earn its first-ever win over Omaha after being reversed swept by the Supernovas last week at the Fishers Event Center. The Ignite are 7-2 all-time at home with the only two losses being to Omaha. Indy comes to CHI following a five-set win over the last-place Columbus Fury Thursday night. Setter Sydney Hilley dished out 68 assists in a balanced offensive attack as five different players reached double-digit kills. Reigning PVF Player of the Week Azhani Tealer spearheaded that effort with 17 kills while Carly Skjodt and Lydia Martyn each added 16.&nbsp;Game Details&nbsp;Matchup:&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas (12-4) vs. Indy Ignite (10-8) | Saturday, March 22 | 6 p.m. CDT | CHI Health Center, Omaha, Neb.&nbsp;Watch:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://db9xbvgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013iWU0qx0sbMGUhec8f45OWs_r7SObVg7o2TGzRu9Rm_5CaGjblareg1QhQw18DMJQ27S0uSLRYhiLds75Scx6b1pWnPBsbCcFylHWa4vhUq0_xj5A4ioOrg1K69IaSiv41qv14KAAUXoPIuncFc04os3Mb3AXwqS&amp;c=hq7yzUb6ZMZlsl5TxOX-_FHtlauGmOoIAkyxoBHIGojlfFxYNm9OtQ==&amp;ch=t4Mq-xeVF7VtTF-PtSQpFM04s1Nm9_jaGmP0l4-nFbsm87ityl99Qw==">FS1</a>&nbsp;| Broadcast Crew: Paul Sunderland (PxP), Holly McPeak (Color Analyst)&nbsp;Listen:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://db9xbvgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013iWU0qx0sbMGUhec8f45OWs_r7SObVg7o2TGzRu9Rm_5CaGjblareid63wE8Xnjs9NGo0OgBTuHUpof-EQncNc2ewMVOnrdFG6utAx3RgYAFJnrFYyCCaTDZpXklYmO9vFUVT83OtpIT-MUQG7smCJByvCCPF4JZ&amp;c=hq7yzUb6ZMZlsl5TxOX-_FHtlauGmOoIAkyxoBHIGojlfFxYNm9OtQ==&amp;ch=t4Mq-xeVF7VtTF-PtSQpFM04s1Nm9_jaGmP0l4-nFbsm87ityl99Qw==">Supernovas Radio Network</a>&nbsp;| Broadcast Crew: Grant Hansen (PxP), Renee Saunders (Color Analyst)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://db9xbvgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013iWU0qx0sbMGUhec8f45OWs_r7SObVg7o2TGzRu9Rm_5CaGjblareg1QhQw18DMJr-UUH9w3hJTJv9HsND_MUOD9GkeM1t7s0GX7ExUkB6djUA0tgPgiVHOn5D0--YSWXCiwxTcRKHzk4nvG92iCM_8579rfjnTBBPkXNWyAkuweskBgQ3Wtnd18ITBvTwCZO9k9wYnUl7_raqGpCr35hVmJczIkCVGZalXRGVoqidkiQRmYuCCFkb-Een1otGsGw3wtHiDfYAKjXBsGQxA0Jg==&amp;c=hq7yzUb6ZMZlsl5TxOX-_FHtlauGmOoIAkyxoBHIGojlfFxYNm9OtQ==&amp;ch=t4Mq-xeVF7VtTF-PtSQpFM04s1Nm9_jaGmP0l4-nFbsm87ityl99Qw==">Match Notes</a>&nbsp;Season Series:&nbsp;Fourth of four meetings, two of two at CHI Health&nbsp;Center&nbsp;All-Time Series:&nbsp;Omaha leads 3-0 (March 13, 2025, last matchup, 3-2 Omaha).&nbsp;&nbsp;From Bench to Brilliance&nbsp;<ul>
 <li>Trailing 0-2 to Indy last Thursday, head coach&nbsp;Laura "Bird" Kuhn&nbsp;went to the bench for a trio of new players in outside hitter&nbsp;Ally Batenhorst, setter&nbsp;Mac Podraza&nbsp;and opposite&nbsp;Kelsie Payne. The move ultimately sparked the franchise's second-ever reverse sweep as well as a four-set win over Orlando two nights later.&nbsp;</li><li>Batenhorst was the shining star of the three, pounding 16 kills on a .282 clip with eight digs against Indy. She improved that performance against the Valkyries pouring in a career-high 24 points on 22 kills (.362), one block and one ace alongside eight more digs.&nbsp;</li><li>In total, the rookie attacker finished with 40 points (5.0 P/S), 38 kills (4.75 K/S), .326 hitting percentage 16 digs (2.0 D/S), one block, one ace and a lone assist across eight sets.&nbsp;</li><li>Podraza averaged 9.75 assists per set including a 37-assist, four-dig outing against Indy. The cherry on top was leading the offense to a .455 hitting percentage in the decisive fifth set against the Ignite. She added a double-double against Orlando with 41 assists and 10 digs while also securing the match-ending block.&nbsp;</li><li>Payne tallied a total of 17 kills, 10 digs, two blocks and one ace. She was mighty against Indy with eight kills on a .421 clip, while adding a season-best nine kills against Orlando.&nbsp;</li>
 </ul>Nuneviller Makes History&nbsp;Supernovas outside hitter&nbsp;Brooke Nuneviller&nbsp;eclipsed the 500-kill mark in her Supernovas career on 3/13 at Indy and now sits with a total of 529 kills in her two seasons with Omaha. With 18 digs on Saturday versus the Valkyries, she became the first player in PVF history to achieve 500 kills and 500 digs. Setter Natalia Valentín-Anderson also reached a milestone against Indy, recording her 1,000th career assist with the franchise. Her Omaha career total stands at 1,003. Middle blocker Kaitlyn Hord is three blocks away from becoming the third player in PVF history to record 100 stuffs. She recorded 42 blocks in 72 sets last season in Columbus.&nbsp;The Dig Patrol&nbsp;<ul>
 <li>The Supernovas have been one of the best&nbsp;defensive teams in the league as they currently sit fifth in the PVF in digs per set (16.34) and eighth in total digs (948). However, Omaha has played the fewest number of sets in the league with 58 which is due in part to a league-leading seven sweeps.&nbsp;</li><li>Libero&nbsp;Camila Gómez&nbsp;leads that effort with a team-high 222 digs (3rd in PVF) and 3.83 per set (3rd). Her 31 digs against Atlanta in the season opener broke a single-match franchise record. That total is tied for the second-most digs recorded in a single match in PVF history.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Nuneviller, who is a former libero, is right behind her teammate with 213 digs (fourth in PVF) and 3.67 per set (4th). She leads all PVF attackers in both categories.&nbsp;</li>
 </ul>Road Warriors&nbsp;The Supernovas have the biggest home court advantage in pro volleyball, but they've also been mighty on the road. That includes the league's best road record at 8-2. Omaha and Orlando (4-3) are the only teams in the PVF to have a road record at .500 or above. The Supernovas have won six-straight road matches including four straight overall which are both franchise records.&nbsp;Offensive Blastoff&nbsp;<ul>
 <li>The Omaha Supernovas offense has rounded into form with a .243 team hitting percentage — second in the PVF.&nbsp;</li><li>Omaha has posted hitting percentages of .250 or above in 10 of the 16 matches this season. The Supernovas offense reached that mark only nine times across the entire 2024 season.</li><li>There's only been seven times in franchise history that the Supernovas have recorded a team hitting percentage of .300 or above wth three of those coming in the 2025 season.</li>
 </ul>Hording the Net&nbsp;Omaha middle blocker&nbsp;Kaitlyn Hord&nbsp;has been the premier blocker in the PVF so far in the 2025 season. The former Husker and Nittany Lion leads the league in both total blocks (55) and blocks per set with a 0.96 mark. Hord's seven blocks in the five-set win over the Atlanta Vibe on opening night set a Supernovas single-match record.

Supernovas Host Ignite in Historic First Stripe-Out on Saturday

Ogallala, Ne - There will be new leadership in the Ogallala Public Schools boys basketball program in 2025. Andy Gillen steps down after seven remarkable years, handing the reins to Ogallala graduate and former player Carter Brown—his oldest son.

Coach Andy Gillen has been the architect of an extraordinary era for Ogallala boys basketball since taking over seven years ago. Under his leadership, the team compiled an impressive 116-24 record, cementing its status as a juggernaut in Nebraska high school sports. Gillen’s tenure included six Southwest Conference (SWC) Coach of the Year awards, six state tournament qualifications, seven regular-season SWC championships, and six SWC tournament titles. His teams also achieved notable postseason success, securing third place in Class C1 in 2019 and 2023, and finishing as state runner-up in 2020. Gillen’s strategic brilliance and relentless drive turned Ogallala into a perennial contender, leaving a legacy of excellence.

Reflecting on his time as coach, Gillen shared a heartfelt message:

"Basketball has always been more than just a game to me. It’s been a passion—one that I’ve loved teaching, watching, and playing. But beyond the X’s and O’s, it’s the relationships, the camaraderie, and the moments with the guys that I will miss the most. Together, we built something special. The 'Truth' brand has become synonymous with winning the right way—playing hard, playing together, and embracing the mindset that 'stats are for losers; the final score is for winners.' That identity will always be a source of pride for me. As I step away, I do so with immense pride, knowing that I am passing the torch to my oldest son, Carter. Watching him continue the legacy we’ve built fills me with excitement and gratitude. No matter where the journey takes me, I will always be a part of the 'Truth' family."

Gillen’s decision to step down stems not from exhaustion, but from a desire to offer someone else the same opportunity he received—a chance to lead a thriving program poised for continued success. That someone is Carter Brown, an Ogallala High School alumnus who played under Gillen and now returns to his roots. A recent graduate of Graceland University, Brown started for the Graceland men’s basketball team over the past two seasons, helping lead the squad to the NAIA national tournament—an achievement that marked only the second such appearance in the school’s history. His deep connection to Ogallala’s winning culture and his proven leadership make him a natural fit to carry forward the “Truth” legacy.

The Ogallala Public Schools community extends its deepest gratitude to Coach Andy Gillen for his unparalleled success, dedication, and the indelible mark he’s left on the program. At the same time, the district welcomes Carter Brown with enthusiasm and high expectations as he takes the helm of a team in its prime.

This transition marks the end of an iconic chapter and the dawn of an exciting new era for Ogallala boys basketball—one rooted in family, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the “Truth.”

Gillen ends his head coaching carreer after 17 years at 357-69, Gillen previously coached girls basketball in Kansas for 10 years, and won three state championships before his family moved back to Nebraska. He was a Cozad High Graduate.

I am extremely excited to watch these two push the ceiling higher for our program with their continued efforts next season!”&nbsp;
