Sheena Lawrick

Sheena Lawrick returned to her alma mater as a volunteer assistant coach in August of 2009. Lawrick was a four-year letterwinner for the Huskers from 2002 to 2005, including serving as a co-captain in both 2004 and 2005. During Lawrick's career, Nebraska made four NCAA Tournament appearances, advanced to the 2002 Women's College World Series and swept the 2004 Big 12 Conference regular-season and tournament titles.

The Huskers were ranked in the top 25 in each of Lawrick's four seasons as a player, including three seasons in the top 15 and one season in the top 10. Lawrick was honored as a 2003 Big 12 all-tournament team selection, as well as a 2005 NFCA All-Midwest Region first-team selection. Lawrick also garnered recognition in the classroom as a second-team academic All-Big 12 selection as a senior.

During a stellar senior season in 2005, Lawrick posted the eighth-highest double total (13) in Husker history, while finishing with the seventh-most RBIs (48) and seventh-most walks (33). For her career, Lawrick was a .299 hitter with 23 doubles, 14 home runs, 90 RBIs, 80 walks, a .420 on-base percentage and a .470 on-base percentage. She ranks 10th in Husker history in career slugging percentage and fifth in career walks.

Lawrick has also been active on the international scene as a first baseman for Team Canada. A native of Calgary, Alberta, Lawrick is the only two-time Olympian in Nebraska history. In 2004, Lawrick came back from a knee injury that forced her to miss most of her junior season at NU, to earn a spot on the Team Canada roster for the Athens Olympics, earning two starts. She then started every game of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as Canada placed fourth, marking its best finish ever.

After spending the 2008-09 season working in the athletic department at North Dakota, Lawrick is in her second stint on the NU coaching staff, as she previously served as the fifth-year coach in 2006 while completing her bachelor's degree work in child development.
