Simpson wins all-around before hometown crowd
Richelle Simpson performs on the balance beam during the 2003 NCAA Super Six Finals at the Devaney Sports Center in April 2003. Simpson won the all-around title, joining Heather Brink (2000) as the only two Huskers to win that crown. Simpson also won the floor exercise, while Brink won the vault in her championship year. Michelle Bryant was Nebraska's first women's champion in 1990, winning on the vault. The Huskers finished fourth in 2003, matching their best efforts from 2000 and 2011. Nebraska also hosted the championship meet in 2009.

The Huskers finished third at the 2003 indoor meet, their best finish since 2000. Their best outdoor finish in that time was also in 2003, when they placed fifth.

Baylor went 20-1 after that loss en route to its first NCAA title by a women's team.

The Huskers had won six straight before the No. 3 Jayhawks rolled to a 79-58 victory. Kansas also defeated Nebraska at home and in the Big 12 Tournament on its way to its fifth national title. The Huskers finished 20-13 and lost at Mississippi in overtime in the second round of the NIT.

A measure of revenge against the Aggies
Nebraska's Jordan Hooper (35) drives around Texas A&M's Courtney Walker during a second-round game of the 2013 NCAA Tournament in College Station, Texas.

Texas A&M went on to win the 2011 NCAA championship with a 33-5 record, and Nebraska jumped to the Big Ten later that year.

UConn continues tourney roll at PBA
The Huskies have a little fun with their NCAA Lincoln Regional championship trophy after defeating Texas A&M 69-54 at Pinnacle Bank Arena on March 31, 2014. Top-ranked UConn also beat BYU 70-51 in the Sweet Sixteen in Lincoln as part of a 40-0 march to its ninth championship.

The top-ranked Huskies won 84-41, and would finish 38-0 while winning their fourth straight title. Shepard earned a measure of revenge in 2018 after transferring to Notre Dame, getting a double-double in Notre Dame's 91-89 victory over the Huskies in a national semifinal. Shepard then scored a team-high 19 points and Arike Ogunbowale hit a three-pointer with 0.1 left for a 61-58 win over Mississippi State in the national championship game.

Huskers fall short of softball title in Omaha
The runner-up trophy isn't quite enough for Nebraska's Ginger Cannon after the Huskers lost 2-1 in nine innings to UCLA in the championship of the 1985 Women's College World Series in Omaha. Cannon had a tournament-high five RBIs to earn a spot on the all-tournament team. Nebraska's participation in the WCWS was later vacated by the NCAA after ruling NU had used two ineligible players. Omaha was the home of the WCWS for its first six seasons it was sanctioned by the NCAA from 1982-87. It then spent two years in Sunnyvale, Calif., before settling in Oklahoma City.
