Senior outfielder Tristen Edwards was one of 50 players nationally named to the preseason USA Softball Player-of-the-Year Watch List, announced on Wednesday. Edwards becomes the first Husker on the watch list since former All-American MJ Knighten.
Edwards started all 52 games for Nebraska in 2019. The Murrieta, Calif., native led the Huskers at the plate with a .376 batting average and a .758 slugging percentage. She scored 42 runs, had 56 hits, 12 doubles, 15 home runs and 50 RBIs - all team highs. Edwards broke the school record for multi-home run games in a single season after having four in 2019.
