Calberry, Mickelson, and Sopp were the bright spots of the night, keeping the Huskers in the matches when it seemed Leuthold and van der Meer just couldn't get lined up on the pair to be in the pocket consistently. Redshirt freshman Mickelson, subbing for Laugerman rolled 7/7 strikes before being tapped on her eighth ball, going a touch high leaving a solid 4 pin. Coaches Straub and Klempa look to have a solid four returning next year, and looks like Sopp is comfortable enough with her game to step up in a leadership role next year.
Overall, the women have to be proud plowing through the losers bracket to get to the finals. In the end, they couldn't overcome the powerhouse of FDU who seemingly could do no wrong, even on errant shots. Pin count and carry was the name of the game and Nebraska came up on the short end of both.
Congrats to Leuthold and Henning for a great career here at Nebraska, and good luck in their future endeavors whether it be bowling professionally or business.
