Raber Earns Academic All-District Honors

Lincoln-Senior midfielder Sari Raber was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII first team this morning and will advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America national ballot.

 

Raber, a psychology major from Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, earned the prestigious accolade for the first time in her career, after earning multiple academic honors from the Big 12 Conference. She is a two-time first team academic All-Big 12 selection and has been named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll eight times (every semester of her career).

 

A team captain the last two seasons, Raber has received the Highest Honors Medallion from Nebraska three times and is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), while also volunteering around the community. She was named an Arthur Ashe Sports Scholars Award recipient the last two seasons.

 

On the field, Raber has appeared in 75 games for the Huskers since 2004, making 55 starts. She has 24 career points on eight goals and eight assists, and has led Nebraska to a 52-42-8 record in her five seasons. She has spent time with the Canadian Under-19 and Under-20 national teams, while also making one cap for the Canadian senior national team.

 

Raber carries a 3.88 grade-point average and is scheduled to complete the requirements for her psychology degree in December. Historically, Nebraska has had two soccer players earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, as Meghan Anderson and Shannon Tanaka were named to the second team in 2001.
