Nebraska's 16 NSCAA All-Americans

Although the Nebraska soccer program is still young compared with the other powers in women's collegiate soccer, the Huskers have already earned 16 All-America awards from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in the past 12 seasons, including the most recent NU player to earn the honor, Brittany Timko, who was selected to the third-team in 2004 and 2005. 
Midfielder Kari Uppinghouse became Nebraska's first first-team All-American in 1996. Uppinghouse provided a dominant physical presence in the midfield while leading the Huskers to their first NCAA Tournament and a 23-game winning streak as a junior in 1996. Two other Huskers, Lindsay Eddleman - who became Nebraska's first freshman to earn All-America honors - and goalkeeper Rebecca Hornbacher, joined Uppinghouse as All-Americans in 1996.

In 1998, three Huskers earned All-America honors, including Sharolta Nonen, who became the first Nebraska player to become a two-time All-American. Isabelle Morneau and Kim Engesser added the first honors of their careers.

In 1999, Morneau claimed her second straight second-team NSCAA award, while Nonen became the first Husker to be a three-time All-American.

Jenny Benson earned first-team All-America honors as a senior defender in 2000 after moving from the midfield in the spring. Midfielder Meghan Anderson also earned first-team honors, while forward Christine Latham, the Big 12 Player of the Year, nabbed second team honors.

Latham scored a conference-high 46 points on 18 goals and 10 assists to earn third-team honors in 2001 and recorded 35 points on 16 goals and three assists to garner third-team honors in 2002.   Timko earned third-team All-America honors in 2004. The Big 12 Player of the Year, Timko ranked in the top 25 in the nation in goals, assists and points per game, finishing the season with 15 goals, 13 assists and 43 points. She also notched a school-record six game winning assists.   Timko again notched 43 points in 2005 to repeat as a third-team All-America selection. She also repeated as Big 12 Player of the Year, joining Latham as the only players in the history of the Big 12 Conference to garner more than one player-of-the-year award. In her junior season, Timko finished with 11 goals and a Big 12-record 21 assists. She also set the NU record for most game-winning assists in a single season.
