Carwile’s Career Capsule
Crystal Carwile (pronounced CAR-why-ull) led NU in home runs in three of her four seasons and led the Huskers in RBIs in each of her four years. Carwile was the first player in school history to lead the team in RBIs four straight seasons, while she joined All-Americans Denise Day and Ali Viola as the only Huskers to lead the team in home runs for three years. Carwile is also a member of another exclusive club, as she produced 100 career hits, runs and RBIs. A total of only eight Huskers have reached each milestone and Carwile and Viola, a three-time All-American, are the only two who joined the club prior to the start of their senior season. Carwile's decorated career included four All-Big 12 awards, as she became Nebraska's eighth four-time All-Big 12 player with a second-team selection in 2009. Carwile left her mark on the Husker record books as ended her career ranked eighth in Husker history in at bats (671), eighth in hits (196), 10th in runs scored (120), fifth in doubles (32), third in home runs (32), third in RBIs (141), sixth in total bases (335) and eighth in slugging percentage (.499) and first in hit-by-pitches with 23. A native of Chino, Calif., Carwile also hit 14 doubles as a sophomore to rank fifth on the Nebraska season chart, while her 12 home runs in both 2006 and 2008 rank eighth all-time at NU.

Senior Season [2009]
Carwile homered in her first at bat of the season before tearing the ACL in her left knee following her second at bat of the season. The injury forced her to miss the only three games of her career, but Carwile played through the tear with the aide of a brace for the remainder of the season. Despite the injury, Carwile batted a career-best .307 as a senior, while she added nine doubles, five home runs and 36 RBIs. She led NU in RBIs and ranked third in home runs despite the injury. After scoring at least 30 runs in each of her first three season, Carwile finished with only 15 runs scored as a senior, despite the highest batting average and on-base percentage of her career. She drew a career-high 13 walks and was hit by a career-high eight pitches, as her .384 on-base percentage was .049 higher than her previous career best. Defensively, Carwile committed only six errors in 408 chances at first base.
