Heidi Wall (Stark) capped a standout Husker career by becoming the first CoSIDA Academic All-American in Nebraska women's golf history.

A Lincoln native, Wall led Nebraska with a 79.11 stroke average while playing a team-best 38 rounds during the season. She joined teammate Rachelle Tacha in earning an individual trip to the 1996 NCAA Championships, tying for 59th place with a four-round total of 326.
Wall led the Huskers to their third straight NCAA West Regional appearance and matched Tacha by tying for 27th (233). Wall added a top-10 finish at the Big Eight Championships, firing a 242 to take 10th while Tacha won Nebraska's first-ever Big Eight individual crown.
Wall was Nebraska's top finisher in eight of 12 tournaments on the season, including a runner-up showing (238) at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational, Oct. 16-17. She also tied for runner-up honors with a career-best 217 at the Northwest Women's Collegiate with rounds of 71-73-73. She opened the season with a fourth-place finish (231) at the Chip-N Club Invitational, and added her fourth top-10 finish in six fall tournaments by tying for eighth (155) at the weather-shortened San Diego State Fall Classic, Oct. 30-31.
As a senior, she produced five top-10 tournament finishes and eight top-20 showings.
Junior (1994-95)
In her first full season at Nebraska, Wall matched Michelle Patterson for the team lead with a 78.86 stroke average over 34 rounds. Wall competed in all 12 tournaments in the NU lineup and was the Huskers' top finisher in six events, including the 1995 NCAA West Regional where she fired a career-best 70 in the opening round to finish in a tie for 29th with 226. She helped the Huskers to a 12th-place team finish at the regional.
Wall posted four top-10 tournament finishes on the season, including a pair of tournament titles. She captured the first crown of her collegiate career with a win at the Husker Golf Classic, Oct. 3-4. She produced solid rounds of 76-75-78 to finish at 229. She added her second tournament title with a win at the Texas A&M Memorial, firing rounds of 72-73-77 to close with a season-best 222. She added a tie for second at the Memphis Intercollegiate, Sept. 25-27, after opening her junior season with a tie for eighth (240) at the Gopher Invitational.
Wall finished 14th (156) at the Utah-Dixie Classic and tied for 15th (158) at the River Wilderness Intercollegiate, as both tournaments were shortened by weather. She tied for 22nd (237) at the Diet Coke/Roadrunner Invitational and tied for 23rd at the Big Eight Championships to help the Huskers to a third-place team finish.

Wall helped the Huskers to a fourth-place finish at the Big Eight Championships to secure their first-ever NCAA Regional bid. She notched Nebraska's second-best individual score at regionals with a 232 (79-77-76) over three rounds, as NU finished 16th in the 19-team event.
