2004: Season Outlook
Brittney Yolo (pronounced YOE-loe) will compete for the starting catcher position along with freshman Jamie Waldecker. Yolo, who came to Nebraska last year after two seasons at Palomar Junior College, has the early edge because she has had a year to build rapport with the pitchers, Coach Rhonda Revelle said.

Yolo played in 20 games in 2003, recording a slugging percentage of .323 while fielding her position flawlessly in 61 chances.

Yolo will also be an inspirational leader this season. She has an enormously positive impact on her teammates, according to Revelle.
