Murray, Cunningham earn top 10 finishes in Missouri

Max Buettenback went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI, as Nebraska defeated No. 22 Kansas 7-5 at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence, Kan.

Nebraska (15-18) scored seven runs on eight hits, while Kansas (27-7) recorded five runs, five hits and two errors.

Buettenback led the Big Red at the plate with the three-hit effort, followed by Cayden Brumbaugh going 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI and a run scored. Will Jesske recorded his second homer of the season with a solo shot, while Cael Frost and Case Sanderson tallied one hit apiece.

Ryan Harrahill made his second career start and allowed one run on two hits in two innings of work. TJ Coats and Blake Encarnacion worked scoreless innings in the third and fourth frames.

Jalen Worthley surrendered three runs on two hits while recording one out. Casey Daiss, Carson Jasa and Grant Cleavinger combined to shut out the Jayhawks over the next 1.2 innings. Pryce Bender picked up his first career win after tossing a scoreless seventh inning.

Drew Christo hurled a clean frame in the eighth, while Luke Broderick recorded his sixth save of the season after allowing one run on a hit in the ninth inning.

Nebraska took advantage of a leadoff baserunner and manufactured its first run of the night without a hit in the top for the first. Sanderson began the game plunked on an 0-1 pitch and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Riley Silva. A wild pitch moved the sophomore to third, before Brumbaugh’s RBI groundout to shortstop broke the scoreless tie.

Kansas evened the game at one in the bottom of the first behind a pair of hits. A one-out single to left field set the table for a two-out RBI double down the left-field line, where the Jayhawks tied the game at one in a play at the plate.

The Huskers responded with a pair of runs on two hits and an error to take the lead back at 3-1 in the second. Dylan Carey reached on a leadoff error and scored all the way from first on Buettenback’s RBI double down the right-field line. Jesske sent the first pitch over the right-field wall for a 392-foot solo homer to give the Big Red a 3-1 lead through two innings.

The NU offense tacked on a run in the fourth after a scoreless third inning to grow the lead to 4-1. Carey worked a full-count walk with one out, before Buettenback drilled his second RBI double of the night down the right-field line to score Carey from first and give the Big Red a three-run advantage.

The Jayhawks plated three runs on two hits in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game at four. An RBI double to the left-field wall after a one-out walk brought Kansas within 4-2, while a first-pitch two-run homer over the batter’s eye in center field made it a 4-4 game through five innings.

Nebraska and Kansas exchanged scoreless sixth and seventh innings, before the Big Red rallied for two eighth-inning runs to grab a late 6-4 lead. Silva led off with a walk, and Brumbaugh singled through the left side to put runners on first and second with no outs.

The Big Red were down to their final out in the eighth when Buettenback’s RBI single to shortstop brought home Silva. Frost followed Buettenback’s infield single with an RBI single up the middle to plate Brumbaugh and give the Huskers a 6-4 lead.

Nebraska added an insurance run in the top of the ninth inning to expand the lead to 7-4. A single up the middle from Sanderson, followed by a sacrifice bunt by Silva, had a runner on second with two outs. Brumbaugh came through for the NU offense with a first-pitch RBI single up the middle to bring home Sanderson.

The Jayhawks took advantage of a leadoff walk in the top of the ninth with an RBI single to right field to trim the NU lead to 7-5. With two outs and the tying run at the plate, Broderick recorded a strikeout on full count to preserve the Big Red’s 7-5 win on Tuesday night.

Nebraska steps back into Big Ten action with a road series at Iowa this weekend. First pitch of Friday’s series opener between the Huskers and Hawkeyes is set for 6 p.m. at Duane Bank Field on B1G+.

Area Spring Sports scores Apr 8th

Area Track and Field results from Buffalo Bill Invite North Platte

The No. 20 Nebraska softball team will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to take on the Hawkeyes this weekend. The games are set for 5 p.m. (CT) on Friday, 2 p.m. (CT) on Saturday and 1 p.m. (CT) on Sunday.&nbsp;

The Huskers are No. 20 in the NFCA Coaches Poll and have been ranked every week this season. They were also tabbed No. 21 in the ESPN/USA Softball rankings.

Last weekend, the Huskers hosted the Purdue Boilermakers for a three-game conference series. The Big Red grabbed victories on Saturday (13-1, five innings) and Sunday (6-0) but took a loss on Monday (2-6). Kacie Hoffmann and Hannah Camenzind each had a multi-homer game in the series. H. Camenzind also grabbed the Saturday victory in the circle, while Jordyn Bahl claimed the win on Friday. Bahl allowed no earned runs in that game while picking up a save and striking out 13 batters across her two appearances in the series. The Papillion, Neb., native earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors for the second consecutive week.&nbsp;

All three games this weekend will be streamed on B1G+. Every game will&nbsp; have a free radio broadcast with Nate Rohr on the call. The radio broadcast is available at Huskers.com/listen and on the official Huskers app.&nbsp;

Husker Pitching Staff Coming Off Quality Week

The Nebraska pitchers have been steadily improving over the course of the season, and their work culminated this past week.

The Nebraska softball team has enjoyed a solid season at the plate, most notably with its home run numbers.&nbsp;

Nebraska softball pitcher and utility player Jordyn Bahl has not only had an impact in the circle, but her offense is a force to be reckoned with.

Nebraska’s 2025 roster consists of 25 total athletes. Fourteen of those are returners.

Nebraska utilized the transfer portal this offseason, bringing in six new players -- Hannah and Lauren Camenzind and Kacie Hoffmann from Arkansas, Olivia DiNardo from Arizona, Kylee Magee from Arizona State and Ava Kuszak from Wisconsin.

Nebraska faced significant adversity in 2024, as a total of six players suffered season-ending injuries, including four that are returning for the 2025 season. Additionally, Arizona State transfer Kylee Magee had to use the offseason for rehab.&nbsp;

Iowa is 21-12 with a 3-4 mark in Big Ten competition. As a team, the Hawkeyes bat .290 and have an ERA of 3.64.

NSAA Area Spring Sports scores from 4-1

By: Paxton Ritchie CSC Sports Information Director

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State athletics has officially announced its football schedule for the upcoming 2025 season, which features four home games, a Division I opponent and a Week 8 bye.

The Eagles' home dates at Elliott Field at Don Beebe Stadium will be September 13 at (vs. Black Hills State), September 27 (vs. Colorado Mesa), October 11 (vs. New Mexico Highlands) and November 8 (vs. Western Colorado). CSC's home opener against Black Hills State will kick off at 6 p.m., with the other three home games starting at 1 p.m.

For the second consecutive season, Chadron State will begin the season early with a "Week 0" game. This year, the Eagles will open on the road against the University of Northern Colorado, a Division I (FCS) opponent which currently competes in the Big Sky Conference, on Saturday, August 30. 

The following Saturday, September 6, Chadron State will complete its nonconference schedule by traveling to take on in-state rivals Nebraska Kearney. The two schools will compete once again for the "Good Life Trophy," a traveling trophy that was introduced last season for what is scheduled to be a yearly renewed rivalry between the schools.

Chadron State's home opener and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opener will be Saturday, September 13 against Black Hills State. The Eagles will play in consecutive weeks for the first eight games of the season prior to having a bye week during the week of Saturday, October 26. 

The September 27 game against Colorado Mesa will serve as both homecoming and the Eagles' Hall of Fame weekend. Senior Day will take place during CSC's home finale against Western Colorado on November 8.

Highlights of the road RMAC games on CSC's schedule include the annual Eagle-Rock Trophy showdown with South Dakota Mines in Rapid City on November 1 and the regular season finale at defending RMAC champions CSU Pueblo on November 15. 

Chadron State is coming off a competitive 3-8 season where the Eagles lost five games by seven points or fewer, including two one-score losses to nationally ranked opponents. 

The Eagles are set to return quarterback DJ Ralph, who battled injuries but was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week after one of the five games he started for CSC last season. Key leaders from a defensive unit that ranked second in the RMAC in total defense and third in scoring defense also return, including All-Region safety Dax Yeradi and linebacker Logan O'Brien. Chadron State also welcomed a class of 38 signees on National Signing Day this February.

All Eagle games, home and away, will be broadcast live with a video feed on the RMAC Network and on the radio on Double Q County 97.5/105.9 FM with Dave Collins. Further information on tickets will be available soon.

Chadron State began spring practice this past Wednesday. The Eagles' intrasquad spring game will take place on Friday, April 25.

Chadron State reveals official football schedule for 2025

LINCOLN&nbsp;— Jared Crick, the former Nebraska defensive line star who played five seasons in the NFL, has taken the Cozad High School head football coach job.&nbsp;

"I am proud and humbled to be announced as the Head Football Coach of my alma mater, to which I owe a great deal of credit and appreciation to the many that have come before me," Crick said in a statement. "Great people, who've shaped my life, resulting in the responsibility I now have before me as the leader of this program."

The 35-year-old was a two-time All-Big 12 defensive tackle at Nebraska and played on NU's first Big Ten team in 2011, donning a Sports Illustrated cover before that season. The Houston Texans selected him in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He had 199 career tackles in five seasons, injured his back in 2017 training camp, and did not play again.&nbsp;

Knights Women's Basketball land second recruit of 2025-2026 season

The No. 20 Nebraska softball team enjoyed a five-run sixth inning and downed the Purdue Boilermakers 6-0 on Sunday night at Bowlin Stadium.&nbsp;

The Huskers moved to 26-8 on the season with a 6-1 record in Big Ten competition, while Purdue fell to 17-15 (2-7 Big Ten).&nbsp;

As a team, NU out-hit the Boilermakers 10-2. Seven of those 10 hits came with runners on base. Olivia DiNardo and Samantha Bland notched two RBIs apiece for the Big Red, and DiNardo and Ava Kuszak had two hits each.&nbsp;

Hannah Camenzind (5-2) pitched 5.0 scoreless innings and allowed only two hits en route to claiming the win in the circle. Jordyn Bahl grabbed the save, as she threw the final two innings of the game and did not allow a hit while striking out five batters. Julia Gossett (5-5) took the loss for Purdue.&nbsp;

The Big Red got on the board and took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when a DiNardo RBI single sent Kuszak, who had earlier singled herself and advanced to second on a groundout, to the plate.&nbsp;

Ava Bredwell opened the bottom of the sixth inning with a leadoff triple and scored on a DiNardo single. Kennadi Williams came in to pinch run for DiNardo and Kacie Hoffmann hit a single to send Williams to third. Katelyn Caneda pinch ran for Hoffmann and advanced to second on a Lauren Camenzind single that also scored Williams. Bland then doubled to score L. Camenzind and Caneda. Bland capped the inning by scoring on a Bahl single.&nbsp;

NU will close the series with Purdue tomorrow, March 31 at 4 p.m. (CT). The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network and can be heard across the Huskers Radio Network.&nbsp;

Area Spring Sports Scores

McCook, Neb.&nbsp; – North Platte fell to Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference leader (RV) McCook Community College in a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon.

The Indians opened up the scoring with three runs in the first inning and a five run second inning.

North Platte got two runs back in the top of the fourth inning by kick starting the frame with back-to-back singles from Victoria Arellano and Heaven Hutchison. Hutchison’s single moved Arellano into scoring position and a sacrifice fly to right field plated the first run of the game.

McCook retired the next two batters before an error by the shortstop allowed Hutchison to score. Paige Warren struck out the next North Platte batter and limited the Knights to just one more hit over the next three innings to close out the win.&nbsp;

Sheena Smith went the entire way allowing eight runs on seven hits, while striking out two in six innings of work.

McCook continued their momentum into the second game while jumping out to a 16-0 lead in the opening four innings. Strong pitching held the Knights offense without a hit, as Lexi Knapp and Olivia Moorhead combined to retire six North Platte batters.

Alieze Moreno pitched 2.2 innings in the loss. She allowed eight runs on six hits and struck out two.

Knights (4-14) return to Region IX action on April 1 against Central Community College. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. at the Dowhower Softball Complex in North Platte.
