Q&A with Madeleine Sheils

Nebraska's Madeleine Sheils has produced an outstanding fall season for the Huskers. The senior from Boise, Idaho, owns four top-20 finishes in four tournaments, including three top-10 showings.

The two-time Big Ten Golfer of the Week also captured her first career tournament title by winning the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in Sammamish, Wash., Oct. 3-5. Coach Robin Krapfl called it one of the best performances in school history, based on the quality of the field and the course.

Maddie took a few minutes out of her busy schedule to answer a few questions to provide a little bit more insight about her life off the course.
