Huskers Honored by Big Ten

Jordy Frahm, Alexis Jensen and Rhonda Revelle all earned individual awards and six Husker athletes were represented on All-Big Ten teams, the conference announced on Friday.
 
Frahm was tabbed the Pitcher of the Year, Jensen was the Freshman of the Year and Revelle was named the Coach of the Year. Frahm was on the All-Big Ten first team while Jensen, Samantha Bland, Hannah Coor, Kacie Hoffmann and Ava Kuszak were second-team All-Big Ten members. Frahm (pitcher) and Coor (outfield) were on the All-Defensive Team, Jensen represented the Huskers on the All-Freshman team and Emmerson Cope was NU’s sportsmanship honoree.
 
Revelle earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors after leading the Huskers to a 43-6 regular season, good for the highest win percentage in program history at .878. Revelle also coached the Big Red to its highest ranking ever at No. 2 in the NFCA Coaches Poll this week. This marks Revelle’s fifth conference coach of the year award and second in the Big Ten. Under Revelle’s leadership, Nebraska finished Big Ten play with a 23-1 record and earned an outright regular-season title. NU’s 23 conference wins tied the Big Ten record for league wins in a season.
 
Frahm was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season. She is now a four-time conference pitcher of the year honoree, only the third power conference pitcher to accomplish that feat. Frahm was also on the All-Big Ten first team and was the pitcher on the All-Defensive team. The Papillion, Neb., native was named to the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Top 25 list and is currently ranked in the top 20 nationally in nine different stat categories. Frahm leads the Huskers in batting average (.429), runs scored (55), hits (70), triples (four), home runs (19), slugging percentage (.890), on-base percentage (.523), ERA (1.25), shutouts (seven), saves (10) and strikeouts (193).
