Briana Zabierek (pronounced zuh-BEAR-ick) was an important part of the Nebraska rotation in 2016-17 as she served both as a starter and a reliever helping the Huskers to their fifth straight national title match appearance.
A standout off the lanes as well, Zabierek is a two-time NTCA Scholastic All-American and a seven-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. She is also a four-time member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
Briana took some time out of her busy academic and athletic schedule to answer a few questions and provide us with a little insight into her life off the lanes.
