After a successful season, Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle has been rewarded with a contract extension.
NU Athletic Director Trev Alberts announced the one-year extension Monday. That takes Revelle through the 2026 season.
“Rhonda Revelle is a tremendous leader of our softball program and a great representative of the University of Nebraska,” Alberts said. “In her three decades leading Nebraska softball, Rhonda has recruited and developed outstanding players who have made a great impact on the diamond.
“At the same time, her leadership and mentorship has helped the young women in our softball program grow and prepare to be successful in their professional lives after softball. We are proud that Rhonda will continue to lead our program for the next several years.”
Revelle has been at the helm of Husker softball for 30 seasons. The 2022 campaign saw her team go 41-16, winning the Big Ten Conference tournament title and making the NCAA Stillwater Regional.
She and her staff were named the 2022 Midwest Region Coaching Staff of the Year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).
“I am honored and humbled by the faith Trev Alberts has shown me and my staff as we continue to work toward returning Nebraska softball to its perch among the sport’s elite,” Revelle said. “We took a big step in our program development this year with our Big Ten Tournament title and an NCAA Tournament appearance.
“I am thrilled to continue this journey of chasing excellence with our coaches, staff and student-athletes. We believe the future is bright for the Nebraska softball program, and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to serve this team, department, university and community.”
Revelle, with a career record of 1,061-623, has been coach of the year in the Big Eight, Big 12, and Big Ten conferences. She was inducted into the NFCA Hall of Fame in 2010.
