2003: Outlook
After spending a year on the sideline, Kelsey Fautsch (pronounced FOUCH) is ready to contribute on the court. Fautsch will battle junior Ally Rebholz for playing time on the right side, Nebraska Coach John Cook said.

Cook said the left-handed Fautsch has the ability to become an "exceptional blocker and attacker."

An excellent student, Fautsch owns a 3.782 cumulative grade-point average.
