In less than two decades, Nebraska has earned 236 wins and made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances. In that time, the Huskers have also won
a league-best five Big 12 Tournament titles and had 43 student-athletes earn first-team All-Big 12 honors. Nebraska’s athletes consistently go on to
find success at the next level of soccer as professional and national team players. In fact, three former Huskers are currently playing in the Women’s
Professional Soccer league.
One of the reasons Nebraska has been able to develop such a successful program is the level of dedication shown by the University. From its
humble beginnings off campus at the Abbott Sports Complex, the soccer program now enjoys state-of-the-art facilities, including administrative
offices, locker rooms and indoor training areas, located in the heart of campus. With a wealth of support and a history of success, Nebraska soccer
expects to contend for championships in the years to come.
International Huskers
Players have consistently risen from Nebraska to the
next level of the sport, including World Cup and Olympic
competition. Three former Huskers represented Canada at
the 2008 Olympic Games, in the country’s first-ever Olympic
appearance. Since the inaugural Women’s World Cup in
1991, nine former Nebraska soccer players have participated
in 13 World Cup competitions. In 2003, seven former Huskers
made up the 20-player Canadian roster that advanced to the
semifinal match. Four former Huskers joined the Canadian
squad for contests in the 2007 World Cup.

Pros
With stellar collegiate careers behind them, several
Huskers chose to continue their playing days at the
professional level. Eleven former Nebraska soccer
players were drafted into the Women’s United
Soccer Association (WUSA), an eight-team league
that ran from 2000 to 2003, while three former
Huskers play in Women’s Professional Soccer
(WPS), a seven-team league that started in the
spring of 2009. NU is one of six schools to have
at least two former players drafted in the WPS,
and only seven programs have more players in the
league.
Soccer Facilities
The home of the Huskers, the Nebraska Soccer Field and its surrounding facilities provide NU players with every tool needed to be successful. Since
moving on campus for the first time in school history in 2005, the Huskers have played the past four seasons on the field, which is located off the northeast
corner of Memorial Stadium in the Ed Weir Track. The facility features seating for at least 3,500.
The field is also located directly next to the Hawks Championship Center, which houses new offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms and indoor practice facilities for the
Husker soccer program. Nebraska is one of the few schools in the nation with all of its soccer facilities located on campus.
Right: Named after the former Husker defender, the Jenna Cooper Team Room

ample space to view game or practice video, giving them a greater edge in preparing
for competition.

school record with four goals. Marlborough’s goal-scoring
ability (1.11 per game) was an integral part of NU’s success,
as the Huskers held an 8-0-3 record when she found the
back of the net. Marlborough is a complete offensive force
with seven assists, tying her with Thomas for the third-most
on the team in 2009. Thomas is expected to see time as a
forward, but may also see her role shifted to the midfield due
to her quickness and ability to set up offensive opportunities
down the sidelines and in the corners. Jackson could see a
similar role to Thomas after tallying three assists in 14 starts
last season.
Junior Alexa Cardona is coming back from an injury-
plagued season last fall and will attempt to gain playing time

2010 Nebraska Soccer
10 ncaa tournament appearances 236 all-time victories 8 big 12 championships
2009 SEASON REVIEW behind for the second straight game against OU, but
Marlborough led the comeback with her first goal on
a header from freshman Jordan Jackson in the 18th
minute. Six minutes later, Marlborough unleashed one
of her most impressive goals of the season after she
was taken down by an OU defender on the right side of
the penalty box. She recovered to keep control of the
possession and dribble through the Sooner defense to
beat the OU goalkeeper with a shot off the far post.
Unbeaten when leading at the intermission (10-
0-2) in 2009, the Huskers struck quickly in the final
period with Jackson’s fourth goal of the season just
89 seconds into the second half. Nebraska separated
itself with 15 minutes left when Slapper’s shot from 35
yards away was saved, but the deflection bounced off
the crossbar and landed in Marlborough’s lap for her
third goal of the game.

Huskers in the World Cup
Beginning in 1991, the best women's soccer players in the world have battled for the Women's
World Cup every four years in front of hundreds of thousands of soccer fans in stadiums across
the globe.
Canada is one of 16 teams that qualified for World Cup competition in 1999, 2003 and 2007
thanks in large part to former Huskers filling the Canadian roster.
Husker Head Coach John Walker made his debut with the Canadian World Cup team as
an assistant coach in 1999. He was joined on that team by five of his former NU athletes.
In 2003, seven former and future Huskers made the 20-player roster. The Husker-heavy
squad played to the semifinal match, where it was defeated by Sweden, putting it up against
the United States in the consolation finals where it lost 3-1. Four Huskers earned roster spots
