Nebraska softball beats Maryland in front of inaugural sellout crowd
LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - For the first time in Bowlin Stadium history, Nebraska softball played in front of a sellout crowd.
A record-setting 3,021 fans packed the stands on Saturday as the No. 20 Huskers rolled past Maryland, 9-2, to clinch its sixth Big Ten series win of the season. The victory moved the Huskers to 37-12 overall and 16-5 in conference play.
The historic crowd shattered the program’s previous attendance record of 2,699, which had been set just two weeks earlier against Indiana.
“The crowd was uneblievable,” Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle said. “The kind of adrenaline the crowd gives you, whether you’re home or away, because you can hopefully channel it either way.”
Saturday also marked the first time Nebraska had two triples in a game since 2022.
“I love Husker Nation, said junior infielder Ava Kuszak, who went 1-3 with two RBI on a triple. “It’s so fun to be a part of it and to just see how many people love Husker softball, and love softball in general. It just makes me happy how much this sport is growing.”
The Huskers close out the series — and regular season — against Maryland on Sunday at 11 a.m. They will also celebrate Senior Day.
