Its spring sport season, and the Nebraska Softball team started the year out with a bang at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Arizona. The Huskers completed a comeback to down the 19th ranked Brigham Young Cougars 5-4 in eight innings to kick off the 2018 season.
Olivia Ferrell got the start on the mound for the Huskers, throwing five innings in her college debut. The freshman from Omaha, Nebraska struck out four cougars, while allowing just two runs on four hits.
Nebraska took a lead after setting down the Cougars in order in the first. Gina Metzler singled and was replaced by Tristen Edwards on a fielders choice.
