Creighton sweeps season series over Nebraska
An early deficit doomed Nebraska baseball Tuesday night in Omaha.
The Huskers dropped their third game to Creighton in the month of April, this one 9-5. The last time the Bluejays beat NU three times in a month was March of 1993.
Nebraska is now 27-15 and has lost five straight non-conference games. Creighton is 31-11.
The first inning doomed Big Red, as Creighton’s leadoff man Nolan Sailors hit a home run. That would be the only earned running allowed in the inning, though five more runs did score.
NU strung together nine hits on the day but left 10 on base. Josh Caron posted the only multi-hit day for the Huskers, going 2-for-5 with an RBI.
Nebraska returns home Wednesday to host Kansas State.
Nebraska flag football announced that it will play its games at Barbara Hibner Field. This is the current home of the Huskers’ soccer program. This announcement was made on Friday afternoon.
The stadium seats 2,500 fans. The capacity can expand via berms and standing-room-only areas. The team will play its first season in 2028 and will hold 15 scholarships for female student-athletes. The season itself will run from January to May.
The program will be coached by Liz Sowers, a former five-time national champion coach at Ottawa University. The associate head coach will be her sister, Katie Sowers. Sowers was the first woman to coach and a Super Bowl. She will be the program’s top assistant.
In any event, it sounds like the program is really beginning to take shape. This will be exciting to watch and will offer another opportunity for some of the top athletes in the country to play at Nebraska.
