To commemorate 50 years of Title IX, Nebraska will celebrate a trailblazer in women's athletics at every home football game. Karina LeBlanc will be recognized and honored during the Wisconsin game this Saturday.
Only a select few athletes actually ever achieve the status "legend."
Former Nebraska All-American Karina LeBlanc is one of them - officially. Arguably the greatest goalkeeper in Husker history, LeBlanc spent 18 years on the Canadian National Team after being named a finalist for the 2000 Hermann Trophy, which was presented to the NCAA's top women's soccer player. She competed in five World Cups for Canada and a pair of Olympic Games, including a bronze-medal winning performance in London in 2012.
