Weekend Recap
Nebraska clinched the Big Ten regular season title on Friday with a 3-1 win over Indiana. Mayme Conroy opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a controlled finish in the bottom corner. Jaycie Johnson made it 2-1 in the 67th minute with a one touch flick into the net off a cross and Emma Stevens got a wind-aided on Senior Day in the 85th minute. Here is a clip of the Emma Stevens goal for those who haven't seen it yet.
The team finished the regular season 15-3-1 with a 10-1 conference record. Check out my match report and post-match reaction for the Indiana match. Here are the huskers.com match highlights along with a photo album from the match as well.
Nebraska moved up one spot to #7 in the NCAA RPI Rankings and remained unchanged at #18 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll.
The Huskers also received three postseason awards today for their amazing run this season. Jordan Jackson received the Big Ten award for midfielder for the year while Ari Romero was named defender of the year by the conference and to wrap it up John Walker was named Big Ten Coach of the Year.
Forward Jaycie Johnson and goalkeeper Emma Stevens were named on Second All-Big Ten Team while midfielder Sydney Miramontez along with Jaycie Johnson were named on the All-Freshman team for the Big Ten conference.
How about that women's soccer team! Big Ten Champs! A goalie score? Unbelievable. Congrats all.
