NEBRASKA SOFTBALL HIRES FORMER HUSKER AS ASSISTANT:
Former Nebraska softball pitcher Olivia Ferrell has been named a full-time assistant coach for the Husker softball team, Head Coach Rhonda Revelle announced Friday.
Ferrell will join Revelle, associate head coach Lori Sippel and assistant coach Diane Miller on the NU staff. The NCAA Division I Council adopted a proposal in January that, among other changes, allows teams that utilized a volunteer coach to add a full-time coach position beginning this season.
Ferrell was a five-year letterwinner for the Huskers, finishing her career ranked eighth in program history in strikeouts with 402. As a team captain, Ferrell earned all-conference honors her final season as well as a spot on the Big Ten All-Tournament team, helping the Huskers to their first Big Ten Tournament title in 2022.
