Schaefer, an exercise science major from Columbus, Neb., and Cherry, an elementary education from Lincoln, Neb., enjoyed perfect semesters for the Huskers in the classroom.

Junior Merynn Ito (Aiea, Hawaii) also produced a strong semester academically, while sophomores Jackie Beste (Sauk Centre, Minn.), Chelsea Gehring (Aberdeen, S.D.) and Sara Sackett (Cambridge, Neb.) also earned mention on the honor roll along with four of Nebraska’s freshmen (Andrea Dunagan, Heather Gutschow, Madison Schroeder and Allison Stewart).
