2010-11: Senior
The lone senior on Nebraska's 2010-11 roster, Abby Buxton made several appearances in the fall and spring for NU. She compiled a combined record of 4-8 in singles and doubles play, bringing her all-time final records at Nebraska to 19-19 in singles and 9-13 in douubles. Equally important was the leadership Buxton brought to the team, during both this season and the entirety of her time at Nebraska.

Buxton earned first-team Academic All-Big 12 honors and was also named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in the spring.

Buxton spent her season primarily in a backup role for the Huskers, where she saw action at the No. 5 and 6 positions. Her overall singles record on the season came to 4-7, while she posted a combined doubles record of 1-4 on the year. Her singles wins included a title at the Minnesota Invitational in the Wild Singles Flight during the fall.

2008-09: Sophomore
Buxton was a valuable backup for the Huskers in singles play, as she went 3-1 in four spring matches at the No. 6 position. She went 1-1 in Big 12 play, beating Iowa State's Alyssa Palen in Nebraska's 5-2 victory over the Cyclones. Buxton also had two singles victories in the fall to give her five overall during the season. She went 2-0 in the spring in doubles matches as well.

Buxton was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters in 2008-09.

2007-08: Freshman
Buxton had a solid freshman season for the Huskers, filling in at the No. 6 spot during the spring season and recording a 6-2 record, including a 1-2 Big 12 mark. Buxton was dominant during Nebraska's non-conference schedule, winning all five of her matches in straight sets. Buxton did not allow an opponent to win more than three games in any of those five straight-set non-conference victories. Buxton outscored her opponents by a 60-18 margin in her six victories, all in straight sets.

Buxton was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in the fall semester.
