Huskers look to NCAA West Preliminary Round 

OMAHA, Neb. — The Perkins County boys and the Dundy County-Stratton boys and girls dominated the field at the Nebraska School Activities Association Class C and Class D State Track and Field Championships, held this past weekend at Omaha Burke Stadium.

The Perkins County boys secured the Class C state title behind a commanding distance performance led by Mason McGreer, who won the 1600-meter (4:20.92) and 3200-meter (9:21.17) runs and took second in the 800-meter. Teammate Elijah Goodell added runner-up finishes in both the 1600 and 3200, while the team’s 4x800 relay also grabbed silver. The North Platte St. Patrick’s boys took third overall, powered by Jaxon Knisley’s gold in the 110 hurdles (14.11) and strong mid- and long-distance showings from Coltan Ham.

In Class D, Dundy County-Stratton swept both team titles. The boys, led by Laken Wissink’s sprint double (100m in 11.07, 200m in 21.87) and Brock Bailey’s dominance in the throws (first in shot put and discus), were nearly untouchable. They also claimed gold in the 4x100 relay and placed third in the 4x400.

On the girls’ side, Dundy County-Stratton captured its first-ever state championship in any sport. Clara Spargo swept the sprints (100m, 200m, and 400m) while her sister, Abigael Spargo, contributed a win in the 300 hurdles and runner-up finishes in the 100 hurdles and 400. Kennedy Bailey completed the field events sweep with victories in both the shot put and discus.

In Class C field events, Michael Salinas of Hershey claimed fifth in the shot put (54-08.50), while Logan Dodson of North Platte St. Pat’s took third in the same event.

Though many athletes didn’t reach the podium, schools across western Nebraska made their mark in Omaha. Brady’s Taryn Stearns placed eighth in the Class D girls shot put, while Addison Frederick of Hershey was fourth in Class C girls discus. Paxton’s Reece Glinn placed fifth in the girls shot put as well.

The championships not only showcased individual brilliance but also historic team milestones, most notably for Dundy County-Stratton, whose double gold sweep will go down as one of the meet’s defining stories.

<i>Kearney, Neb. –</i>&nbsp;A historic two-year run by the 22nd-ranked Nebraska Kearney women's tennis team came to and with a&nbsp;<b><a target="_blank" href="https://lopers.com/boxscore.aspx?path=wten&amp;id=8395">4-2 loss</a></b>&nbsp;to 21st-ranked Azusa Pacific (Calif.) in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/tennis-women/d2/2025"><b>NCAA Sweet 16</b></a>&nbsp;Wednesday afternoon in Altamonte Springs, Fla.

Over the last two seasons UNK went 41-12 in duals, won two MIAA regular season titles, and reached the NCAA Sweet 16 twice. Last year, the Lopers beat Azusa, 4-1, to reach the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. Azusa (21-4) will face defending national champion Nova Southeastern (Fla.) Thursday morning in this year's Elite 8.&nbsp;Today's rematch came in 90-degree weather with 50% humidity. There were many of the same names from last year's dual but only one rematch (four singles) with the Cougars getting things started with a close win in doubles.

At two, APU won 6-0 with UNK having a a big lead at three and the Cougars the same at one. However, both sides rallied so the team point was up for grabs. But the Cougars&nbsp;literally hung on at one (7-6; 7-5) to go up 1-0&nbsp;with Lincoln redshirt junior&nbsp;<b>Clare Plachy</b>&nbsp;and Venezuelan sophomore&nbsp;<b>Fabiana Gamboa</b>&nbsp;recording a 6-4 decision at three.&nbsp;&nbsp;The 50th-ranked tandem of Julia Jordan and Vini Bautista won at one over 17th-ranked&nbsp;<b>Narindra Ranaivo</b>&nbsp;(Madagascar) and&nbsp;<b>Tanya Midzi</b>&nbsp;(Zimbabwe). Last year, Jordan and Bautista won at two, but UNK was victorious at three, 7-5, and, ironically, 7-6 (7-5) at one to grab the point.&nbsp;APU won in straight sets at six singles (-1, -1) to take a 2-0 lead with the 13th-ranked Gamboa doing the same at one (-2, -2) to get UNK (20-6) on the board. Next, the Cougs won in straight sets at five (-4, -3) with Colorado senior&nbsp;<b>Alexis Bernthal</b>&nbsp;sweeping Kathrine Ngyuen at four (-1, -1). Last year, this match went unfinished&nbsp;with Bernthal up a set.

Finally, the dual came down to two and three singles with Midzi winning her first set at five (7-5) and the 35th-ranked Ranaivo doing the same at two (7-6; 8-6). However, West Region Rookie of the Year Stina Larsson (Sweden) rallied past Midzi to clinch the dual (-2, -2) with Bautista up 4-0 in the third over Ranaivo after taking set two, 6-3.UNK loses Bernthal, Hatouka and Ranaivo to graduation. They combined for 438 wins over the past four years, and off the court, each maintained well over a 3.5&nbsp;GPA.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Broderick, Nunez receive All-Big Ten accolades

Robby Bolin came through in the clutch, hitting a walk-off RBI single to give the Huskers a 5-4 win in 10 innings against Michigan State at the Big Ten Baseball Tournament on Tuesday night in Omaha.

Nebraska (29-27) scored five runs on 12 hits and an error, while Michigan State (28-26) totaled four runs, seven hits and two errors.

Case Sanderson was 3-for-5 with two RBI, and Cayden Brumbaugh went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Bolin drove in one run and scored once on a 2-for-4 night, while Riley Silva, Gabe Swansen and Will Jesske had one hit each.

Ty Horn allowed three runs on two hits with a pair of strikeouts and three walks in two innings of work. Tucker Timmerman tossed three innings in relief, allowing an unearned run on two hits with four strikeouts and a walk. Drew Christo dealt 1.2 scoreless innings with just one hit allowed.

Luke Broderick improved to 4-2 on the season after pitching 3.1 shutout frames. The junior struck out a pair of Spartans and allowed just two hits.

The Huskers and Spartans exchanged runs in the opening frame to send a 1-1 game into the second inning.&nbsp; A leadoff single and sacrifice bunt had a runner on second with one out in the top of the first for Michigan State. The Spartan plated the game’s first run of the night with an RBI double that was lined to the wall in right-center field.

Nebraska evened the game at one behind a pair of hits in the bottom of the first. Silva drilled a 1-2 pitch in the alley in left-center field, while Brumbaugh had a single ricochet off the bag at first to put runners on first and third with one out for the Big Red.

Swansen lifted a 1-2 pitch to right field for a sacrifice fly that scored Silva and locked the game at one.

Michigan State scored two runs without a hit or an error in the top of the second to take the lead back at 3-1. Three consecutive one-out walks loaded the bases for the Spartans, while a balk gave MSU a one-run lead. An RBI groundout to second after the balk doubled the lead to 3-1 through two innings.

The Spartans added a run in the top of the fifth inning to extend the lead to 4-1. A leadoff and a plunked batter with two outs had runners on first and second, before an infield single loaded the bases for MSU. An errant throw on a pickoff attempt at second allowed the runner on third to trot on home to stretch the lead to three.

Nebraska plated two runs with three hits and an error in the bottom of the sixth to climb back within 4-3. Consecutive singles from Brumbaugh and Swansen had runners on first and second with one out, while a wild relay throw advanced the duo to second and third.

Sanderson ripped an 0-1 pitch to center field for a two-RBI single to score Brumbaugh and Swansen and make it a 4-3 game after six innings.

Bolin led off the bottom of the ninth with a bunt single, before a sacrifice bunt laid down by Rhett Stokes moved the junior to second with one out. Joshua Overbeek lifted a two-out flyball to right field for what appeared to be the final out of the game, but a dropped ball allowed Bolin to score from second and tie the game at four.

Broderick retired the Spartans in order in the top of the 10th, setting up NU’s walk-off heroics in the bottom of the inning. Carey began the inning with a single through the left side and stole second base to put the go-ahead run at second with one out.

Consecutive swinging strikeouts had the Big Red down to their final out, before Bolin smacked the first pitch to center field for a walk-off single to give the Huskers a 5-4 win in 10 innings on Tuesday night.

Nebraska continues play in the Big Ten Tournament with a matchup on Friday night against top-seeded Oregon. First pitch between the Huskers and Ducks is set for 6 p.m. on BTN at Charles Schwab Field.

Area District Boy's Golf results from 5-19

Nebraska softball pitcher and utility player Jordyn Bahl was named a Top 3 finalist for the USA Softball/ESPN Collegiate Player of the Year, the organization announced on Monday. Bahl is the first Husker to be a top-3 finalist for the award, and she is a top-3 finalist for the first time after being a three-time top-10 finalist.

The other two finalists are Arkansas’ Bri Ellis and Texas Tech’s NiJaree Canady, the reigning Collegiate Player of the Year.&nbsp;

A Papillion, Neb., native, Bahl continues to rack up the accolades, as she was named both the Big Ten Player of the Year and the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year. She was the first player in the conference's history to earn both of those awards in the same season. She also was a member of the All-Big Ten first team. Bahl has also been a two-time national player of the week this spring, and she has won six Big Ten weekly awards, including five pitcher-of-the-week honors and one player-of-the-week award.

Bahl is the first Husker in school history to record 15 doubles and 15 home runs in the same season. She also became the second Husker to record 60+ runs, hits and RBIs in a season. Bahl has 23 home runs, 69 runs scored and 41 extra-base hits on the season, all of which are program-record marks. With 23 home runs and 25 wins in the circle, Bahl is one of five players in NCAA history to have 20+ home runs and wins in the same season.

At last weekend’s Baton Rouge Regional, Bahl went 5-for-5 with four home runs, seven walks, eight runs and seven RBIs at the plate, while going 2-0 in the circle, allowing just one run and two hits in 12.0 innings with 16 strikeouts.

At the plate, the junior has notched 69 runs, 76 hits, 66 RBIs, 16 doubles, 2 triples and 23 homers on a .475 batting average. She has only struck out 14 times and has a slugging percentage of 1.031 and an on-base percentage of .568.&nbsp;

In the circle, Bahl has an ERA of 1.50 and a record of 25-6 across 186.11 innings pitched. She has struck out 270 batters and allowed only 40 earned runs.&nbsp;

Bahl ranks in the top 10 nationally offensive in slugging percentage, runs per game, batting average, extra-base hits, hoem runs per game and on-base percentage while also ranking in the top 10 nationally in the following pitching categories: opponent batting average, hits allowed per seven innings, strikeouts per seven innings, shutouts, wins, ERA and complete games.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, May 27 at the athlete’s banquet prior to the Women’s College World Series.

Bahl named top three finalist for Player of the Year

By: Paxton Ritchie<br>CSC Sports Information Director

CHADRON, Neb. – National qualifiers Chayton Bynes and Trace Hanchett both won shares of special awards as the RMAC announced their all-conference honors for the 2025 men's and women's outdoor track season on Monday. 

Bynes was voted as the Co-Field Athlete of the Year, matching his award win from the indoor season, while Hanchett was voted as the league's Co-Freshman of the Year. 

In addition, six Eagle athletes, including Bynes and Hanchett, made first or second team All-RMAC based on their performances at the RMAC Championships from April 25-27 in Golden, Colorado. Athletes who finished first through third in an event were given first-team honors, while fourth through sixth place earned second-team awards. 

The Chadron State First Team All-RMAC honorees are Bynes (1st, long jump; 2nd, triple jump) and senior Creighton Trembly (2nd, 110 hurdles). CSC's five Second Team All-RMAC honorees include Christopher Cormier (4th, 400 meters), Parker Gonser (4th, hammer throw), Hanchett (5th, javelin) and Nicquaine Henry (4th, 400 hurdles) on the men's side, along with freshman triple jumper Camila Salvucci (4th) on the women's side. 

Chayton Bynes doubled up on his Co-Field Athlete of the Year honors from the indoor season with another special award win, sharing the honor with UCCS's KJ McInnis. Bynes is the only RMAC athlete to repeat a 2025 indoor season special award win and take home the same award in the outdoor season. 

The redshirt sophomore starred at the RMAC championships, winning the long jump and finishing second in the triple jump at the conference meet. Bynes never finished lower than second in either the long jump or the triple jump during the outdoor season, winning at three meets in each event prior to the conference meet. The Chadron High School grad will compete at nationals this weekend in the triple jump, entering with a school-record leap of 15.54 (51 feet), which ranks 10th in Division II. 

Trace Hanchett burst onto the scene during his true freshman campaign out of Philipsburg, Kansas, sharing the co-freshman honors with Colorado Mesa's Aidan Brownell. Hanchett broke the school record in the javelin twice, most recently with an RMAC-best mark of 66.93 meters (219 feet, 7 inches) at the 2025 Loper Twilight Meet on May 10, and cleared 200 feet four times. Although Hanchett's fifth-place finish in wet conditions at the RMAC Championships matched his worst finish in a meet this year, Hanchett set the facility record at the site of the RMAC Championships earlier this season with a 65.60 meter (215-3) throw at the Kit Mayer Classic in Golden.

Bynes, Hanchett and Nicquaine Henry will be competing at the Division II National Championships in Pueblo, Colorado from May 22-24. Henry qualified after setting a school-record time of 51.56 seconds in the 400 hurdles, over 1.4 seconds faster than his time at the RMAC Championships. 

Colorado Mesa's Mateo Casados was named the Track Athlete of the Year. UCCS Head Coach Ross Fellows was named the RMAC Coach of the Year. In addition to splitting Co-Field Athlete of the Year with Bynes, UCCS's KJ McInnis was given the Dr. Randy Rhine Men's Outdoor Track Performer of the Meet award after winning both the high and triple jumps and placing third in the long jump event won by Bynes.

Pair of CSC Track & Field Stars Earn Major RMAC Seasonal Awards

Lincoln - Three-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach-of-the-Year Breanne Hall has been named the next head coach of the Nebraska women's golf program, Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced on Thursday, May 15.

“We are thrilled to have Breanne Hall join us as the head coach of our women’s golf program,” Dannen said. “Breanne has built an impressive resume, first starting a program from the ground up at UNC Asheville, before raising the profile of Illinois State women’s golf to the top of the Missouri Valley Conference. She has great connections at all levels of the game and has a record of success recruiting student-athletes both throughout the United States and internationally. We look forward to Breanne’s leadership and exciting times ahead for Nebraska Women’s Golf!”

Hall, who won back-to-back MVC Coach-of-the-Year honors at Illinois State the past two seasons, led the Redbirds to three NCAA Tournament appearances over the past four seasons at ISU. She was also the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year.

"I am incredibly honored and grateful to accept the position as head women's golf coach at the University of Nebraska. I want to sincerely thank Director of Athletics Troy Dannen, Deputy AD/Senior Woman Administrator Kristen Brown, and Associate Director of Compliance Jena Johnson for their belief in me and the vision we share for this program," Hall said. "Nebraska is a place with deep tradition and pride, and I'm beyond excited for the opportunity to lead these student-athletes and build on the foundation of excellence that defines Husker Athletics. While I'm incredibly excited for this next chapter at Nebraska, I also want to take a moment to thank Illinois State and UNC Asheville. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunities I had to grow as a coach and to lead so many outstanding student-athletes at both programs."

Hall's 2025 Illinois State team won the Missouri Valley Conference title by 31 strokes before finishing 11th at the NCAA Columbus Regional. Redbird Jinyoung Yun was named the MVC Golfer of the Year for the second straight season, while Morgan Jones was named MVC Newcomer of the Year and Elise Fennell was honored as the MVC Freshman of the Year. All three Redbirds were also named All-MVC and to the MVC All-Tournament Team, while teammate Jessica Jolly added All-MVC honors for the season.

In 2024, Illinois State won the Missouri Valley Conference title by 12 strokes with Ali Schrock sharing the tournament title. Yun was named MVC Golfer of the Year and joined Schrock on the all-tournament team. Avalon Woodward also captured All-MVC honors. The Redbirds went on to finish 12th at the NCAA East Lansing Regional. Schrock also capped her career as a three-time CSC Academic All-American with first-team honors in 2024.

The Redbirds earned their first conference title under Hall's direction in 2022 and their first MVC title in a decade, edging Missouri State by one stroke. Schrock was named the MVC Golfer of the Year while taking runner-up honors in the tournament. Woodward and Kehler Koss joined Schrock on the All-MVC team. Illinois State capped the year with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Stillwater Regional.

During her time at Illinois State, Hall coached three MVC Golfers of the Year and 15 all-conference selections. Her teams produced the five best single-season scoring averages in school history over the past five years, while also putting up 15 of the top 16 three-round tournament scores in the ISU record book. Her teams also delivered 14 of the top 15 single-round scores in Redbird history.

Prior to taking over the top spot at Illinois State, Hall spent a season recruiting a roster before serving as the head coach for two seasons at UNC Asheville (2016-18). As the first head coach in history of the fledgling program, Hall led UNC Asheville to a pair of tournament titles in the first two seasons of the program's existence. Her team posted a nine-stroke improvement in scoring average from year one to year two. In 2018, the Bulldogs finished fifth at the Big South Championship.

Hall was a three-time All-MAC selection as a golfer at Toledo, after beginning her career at Northern Kentucky. The winner of the Michigan Women's Open in 2003, Hall competed in the Futures Tour Q-School after earning her bachelor's degree in organizational management from Toledo in 2004. Hall, who began her instructional career as an assistant professional at Manasquan River Golf Club in Brielle, N.J. (2005-06), served as an assistant professional at Grove Park Inn Resort &amp; Spa in Asheville, N.C. (2007-08), before spending four years as the head professional at the resort (2008-12) and one year as the club manager (2012-13). She became a PGA Class A member in 2012.&nbsp;

She served as the director of golf instruction at Mountain Air Country Club in Burnsville, N.C. (2013-16) prior to embarking on her collegiate coaching career.

Hall’s hiring comes two months after Jeanne Sutherland announced her retirement as Nebraska’s head coach on March 14. Hall becomes the sixth head coach in the 50-year history of the Husker women’s golf program.

Hall named Husker Women's Golf Head Coach

Nebraska mounted its largest comeback since 2010 to pick up an 11-9 win at Purdue on Thursday night at Alexander Field in West Lafayette, Ind.

The Huskers trailed 8-0 after three innings, making it the Big Red’s largest come-from-behind win since rallying from a 10-run deficit against North Dakota on March 30, 2010.

Nebraska (27-26, 14-14 Big Ten) scored 11 runs on 14 hits and an error, while Purdue (30-22, 10-18 Big Ten) totaled nine runs, 11 hits and two errors.

Dylan Carey was 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored. Cayden Brumbaugh drove in three runs on a 2-for-6 night with a double. Riley Silva, Joshua Overbeek and Case Sanderson pieced together two-hit performances.

Robby Bolin drove in two runs and had a hit, while Gabe Swansen and Devin Nunez had RBI doubles and Hogan Helligso recorded a hit.

Tucker Timmerman surrendered eight runs on six hits across two innings. Caleb Clark, Pryce Bender and Grant Cleavinger teamed up to deal four scoreless innings in relief. Drew Christo improved to 2-2 on the season after allowing an unearned run on two hits in 1.2 innings of action.

Luke Broderick picked up his 11th save of the season, climbing to eighth on the single-season chart at Nebraska. The junior didn’t allow a run on a pair of hits across 1.1 innings on Thursday night.

Purdue scored five runs behind three hits in the bottom of the second to sprint out to a five-run advantage. The Boilermakers had the bases loaded with no outs after a single, walk and plunked batter. A second consecutive hit batter broke the scoreless deadlock, while an RBI single up the middle and a sacrifice fly to center had Purdue out front 3-0.

The Boilermakers stretched the lead to five in the second with a two-RBI single through the right side.

Purdue tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the third to grow the lead to 8-0. A leadoff homer to begin the inning, followed by two straight singles, extended the lead to seven. A sacrifice bunt with runners on first and third and one out brought home a third run in the inning and had the Boilermakers ahead 8-0 through three innings.

The Huskers responded with six runs on four hits and an error in the top of the fourth to climb back within 8-6. Carey scored the Big Red’s first run of the day with a leadoff homer over the wall in left-center field. Will Jesske reached on a fielding error, and Sanderson was plunked on full count to put runners on first and second with no outs.

A one-out RBI single to left field plated Jesske from second, while Silva was hit by the pitch on 0-1 count to load the bases. Brumbaugh cleared the bases with a three-RBI double to right field, before Swansen laced a first-pitch RBI double to the gap in left-center field to score Brumbaugh from second and bring the Huskers within two runs.

Nebraska had runners on the corners with one out in the top of the fifth after Sanderson singled through the right side and Helligso reached on a fielding error. Bolin laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Sanderson from third, and Helligso scored from second on Silva’s two-out RBI double to center field that locked the game at eight.

Bender, Cleavinger and Christo combined to keep the Boilermakers off the scoreboard in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to send an 8-8 game into the top of the eighth inning.

The Husker offense plated three runs on three hits in the eighth to grab an 11-8 lead. Overbeek led off the inning with a double and advanced to third on a foul out. Swansen was hit by the pitch, before Jaron Cotton entered the game as a pinch-runner and moved to second on a passed ball.

Carey came through for the Huskers, ripping a two-RBI single through the left side to bring home Overbeek and Cotton and give Nebraska a 10-8 advantage. Nunez scored Carey from first on a pinch-hit RBI double to the wall in center field, extending NU’s lead to 11-8.

A single and an NU error in the bottom of the eighth led to a two-out RBI single through the right side that brought Purdue within 11-9 through eight innings.

Broderick worked around a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth to preserve Nebraska’s 11-9 win in the series opener on Thursday night.

Nebraska and Purdue are scheduled to continue the series tomorrow at Alexander Field. First pitch between the Big Red and Boilermakers is set for 3 p.m. CT on B1G+.

Area District Track and Field Class C 

Area District Track and Field results from 5-14

Kearney, Neb. – The 22nd-ranked Nebraska Kearney women's tennis team won four singles matches in straight sets to upset 14th-ranked Washburn, <a href="https://lopers.com/sports/womens-tennis/stats/2024-25/washburn/boxscore/8394">4-2</a>, in an NCAA Central Regional second round match Tuesday in Topeka.&nbsp;

The third seeded Lopers (20-5), who beat Central Oklahoma on Monday, advance to the "<a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/tennis-women/article/2025-05-13/2025-ncaa-dii-womens-tennis-championship-bracket-scores-schedule">Sweet 16"</a> in Altamonte Springs, Fla., for a second consecutive season. They'll play an opponent to be determined on May 21 (Wednesday) with duals held every day until the National Championship May 25. UNK now has 11 all-time NCAA wins with the 2008 and 2009 Loper squads having back-to-back Sweet 16 trips as well. Last year, the Lopers reached the Elite 8 for the first time behind seniors Melisa Becerra and Jazmin Zamorano.

Earlier this year at the Ernest Grundy Tennis Center, Washburn (17-4) beat UNK by a 4-3 score as they took the doubles point and then won in straight sets at one, three and five singles. Today, they again won doubles but almost had a completely new singles lineup.

The Lopers, who lost 6-3 and 6-2 at one and two doubles, fell behind 2-1 after a 7-6 (5), 6-1 loss at five singles. However, UNK won the first set in the other five matches to be in good shape.

Lincoln redshirt junior Clare Plachy notched the first team point at six (-3, -4), Colorado senior Alexis Bernthal rolled at four (-2, -4) with Zimbabwe sophomore Tanya Midzi almost winning at the same time at three (-3, -5). Finally, Madagascar senior Narindra Ranaivo closed the door on the 'Bods with a 6-3, 6-2 decision at two. She is up to 178 combined wins, most in school history. At one, 13th-ranked Fabiana Gamboa won the first set over 19th-ranked Renske Ubachs with that match going unfinished.
