Nebraska Natives Power NU Past UNI
LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Athletics) – A strong effort from several Nebraska natives powered the No. 20 Husker softball team to a 9-1 five-inning victory over Northern Iowa on Sunday at Bowlin Stadium.
Hannah Camenzind, a Valley native, shined in the circle and at the plate for Nebraska (18-6). In the circle, Camenzind (3-2) fired a five-hitter, allowing only one run in her first complete game of the season. At the plate, she was 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs.
Lincoln native Abbie Squier and Papillion native Jordyn Bahl each homered for the Huskers, while Elkhorn product Kacie Hoffman went 2-for-3 with a triple and an RBI.
Anna Wischnowski (5-4) took the loss for Northern Iowa, which fell to 11-8 on the season.
UNI grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, converting a leadoff double from Skylar Benesh into a two-out RBI single from Drew Henrichs.
Nebraska tied the game with help from a UNI error in the bottom of the second. Olivia DiNardo led off with a single, and Kennadi Williams came on to pinch run. An error then put Huskers on first and third with no outs, and Williams scored the tying run on an RBI ground out from Hannah Camenzind.
The Huskers then took a 5-1 lead with a four-run third inning. Squier led off the inning with a solo home run to give Nebraska its first lead. Ava Kuszak followed with a single, Bahl walked and Samantha Bland reached on an error to load the bases with no outs. UNI then turned a double play, but both Kuszak and Bahl scored on the play to make it a 4-1 lead. Nebraska tacked on a final run in the inning when Hoffmann tripled and Hannah Camenzind delivered an RBI double.
Nebraska stretched the lead to 9-1 in the bottom of the fourth. Ava Bredwell drew a leadoff walk and advanced to third on a one-out double from Kuszak. Bahl then launched the first pitch she saw over the wall in center for a three-run homer. Nebraska tacked on another run when Bland reached on an error and scored on an RBI single from Hoffmann.
Camenzind worked around a pair of base runners in the top of the fifth to close out the run-rule victory.
Nebraska plays its final game of the Big Red Spring Fling Sunday evening against South Dakota State.

33 Nebraska senators urge Board of Regents to delay vote on $800M acquisition of Nebraska Medicine
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Thirty-two Nebraska state senators joined Sen. Brad von Gillern’s letter calling on the Nebraska Board of Regents to delay a vote on the proposed $800 million acquisition of Nebraska Medicine.
The letter, dated Thursday and bearing a total of 33 signatures from state senators, shared concerns about the proposed acquisition, including the lack of transparency to the public and the Legislature.
According to the letter, the regents’ Jan. 9 meeting agenda item summary indicates that the Board has “negotiated the final agreement over a series of meetings in the past 18 months”.
The regents will consider a proposal in which Clarkson Regional Health Services would give up its 50% membership in Nebraska Medicine. The deal would give full control of the health system to the University of Nebraska.
However, the letter said the public and Legislature have had little time to understand the proposal, its impact and any financial implications of the transaction.
“The University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medicine are two institutions of tremendous significance to our state, and any major changes to the existing structures must be carefully considered,” the letter stated.
Senators are asking the Board to delay the vote to “ensure all viable alternatives have been considered and until all stakeholders understand the impact of the proposal for the state” and the two institutions.
The Board of Regents meeting, previously set for Friday, will now be held Thursday, Jan. 15 at 9 a.m.
