Nebraska Softball wins their first Big Ten Conference Tournament Championship

For the first time since 2004, the Nebraska Softball team has won a Conference Tournament Championship. The Husker defeated the Michigan Wolverines by a score of 3 to 1 in eight innings to win Nebraska its first Big Ten Conference Tournament Championship since joining the league back in 2011. The win is the Cornhusker’s tenth conference tournament championship overall and veteran head coach Rhonda Revelle’s fourth such victory. The win also gives Nebraska an automatic birth into the NCAA Division I Softball Tournament, their first birth since 2016.
