One of the most explosive players in Nebraska basketball history, Diane DelVigna may have owned every scoring and rebounding record at Nebraska if she had played more than two seasons. A transfer from Feather River College in California, DelVigna set the NU single-season record with 646 points in 1978-79, before shattering that mark with 787 points as a senior. That total ranks second on NU's all-time list, while her 646 points as a junior ranks eighth.
DelVigna earned spots on the Big Eight All-Tournament team in both 1978-79 and 1979-80. She ranks 14th on Nebraska's career charts with 1,433 points and third in scoring average with 19.1 points per game. Her 7.2 rebounds per game rank 10th on the Huskers' all-time list.
DelVigna ranks ninth on NU's career charts with 191 steals. She was the first player in Husker history to record 100 steals in a season, reaching the century mark in 1978-79.
She added 91 steals as a senior for the fifth-best single-season total in school history. Those two single-season marks stood as the best in school history until Nicole Kubik produced three consecutive 100-plus steal seasons in 1998, 1999 and 2000. DelVigna set a career high with 32 points in Nebraska's 71-69 win over Arizona State on Nov. 29, 1979.
DelVigna now lives and works in Dublin, Calif.
