Soccer Sports Two May Grads

Lincoln - Former Husker soccer players Breanna Boyd and Lindsey Jenkins (formerly Ingram) were among 54 University of Nebraska student-athletes who received their degrees during spring commencement ceremonies on Saturday at the BobDevaneySportsCenter.

 

Boyd, a Husker standout from 1999 to 2002, was one of the most successful defenders in school history. She helped NU post 50 shutouts and hold opponents to 73 goals during her career. Boyd earned first-team All-Central Region honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

 

A first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2000 and 2002, Boyd was also an outstanding student. Boyd was named a 2002 NSCAA Academic All-American and was a three-time first-team academic All-Big 12 selection. Following her playing career at Nebraska, Boyd was a first-round pick of the Carolina Courage in the 2002 WUSA Draft. During her Husker career, Boyd helped lead Nebraska to five Big 12 titles and four trips to the NCAA Tournament, including four trips to the Sweet 16 and one trip to the Elite Eight.

 

Ingram played for Nebraska from 2001 to 2004, earning first-team academic All-Big 12 honors in 2003 and 2004 and six selections to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In her senior season, Ingram was named an NSCAA first-team All-North/Central region scholar.

 

She finished an outstanding playing career with seven goals, 10 assists and 24 points. She helped the Huskers to one Big 12 title, four top-25 national rankings and four NCAA tournament berths, including three Sweet 16 appearances.
