Q&A with Julia Bond

Julia Bond, along with earning her second career NTCA All-American first-team honor (2016 and 2017), finished her junior season scoring above 200 in seven of the 10 contests Nebraska competed in in 2016-17, leading the team with a season average of 212, the seventh-highest single-season average in program history.

A three-time NTCA All-American, Bond is also a standout off the lanes, as a three-time member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. She earned academic All-NTCA and academic All-Big Ten honors in 2016, and also was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in each of her first four semesters as a Husker.
