2010 (Senior)

White contributed her second career assist on Sept. 10 in a 3-0 victory at Arizona, while she also attempted 15 shots on the season. Defensively, the senior helped shut out five opponents as Nebraska went 13-7-1 and finished third in the Big 12 race.

2009 (Junior)

2007 (Freshman)
White completed the 2007 season as one of several freshmen who made major contributions to the Huskers. White played in 17 games, making 12 starts, but a midseason shoulder injury limited her effectiveness.

White displayed a physical style early in the season, as her control of the midfield helped the Huskers to early home wins, including a 5-1 victory over Saint Louis on Sept. 21.

White was in and out of the starting lineup until her performance against Lamar on Oct. 12. White cranked out four shots against the Cardinals, putting three on goal, including her first career goal. White was a starter for the final six games of the season, accumulating 24 shots, including 11 on goal.
