That list includes No. 2 Santa Clara, No. 3 Portland and No. 4 Connecticut. All of those games will be played in the first month of the season. “I don’t want anyone to come up at the end of the regular season say ing, ‘Your schedule wasn’t tough enough,”’ Walker said. “We’ll see if that can help us come NCAA tourna ment time.” This season the Huskers, ranked eighth in the NSC A A poll, are not short on talent. NU returns eight starters from last year’s 17-4-1 team. Three All-Americans dot the Husker roster. Senior Lindsay Eddleman, the leading returning scorer from last season, may be expected to provide the offensive spark furnished last year by Kim Engesser, who scored a team-record 27 goals. But Walker said he is not neces sarily looking for a player to fill in where Engesser left off. “A more likely scenario is you’ll see more balance in an attacking standpoint,” Walker said. “I don’t expect any drop-off in offensive pro duction.” The defensive side of the field has All-Americans as well. Seniors Isabelle Morneau and Sharolta Nonen spent the summer playing for the Canadian national team in the Women’s World Cup. Joining them in the World Cup was junior Karina LeBlanc, who is back for her second season in goal. Also returning is junior Jenny Benson. The Huntington Beach, Calif., native spent all of last year on the bench with a knee injury. Now, the former All-Big 12 play er will be back on the field.

It’s fun to be back playing and (my knee) doesn’t hurt at all.” Walker is certainly not used to seeing healthy players early in the season. Walker said this year there were no major injuries to report upon entering training camp. And with games against three top-5 teams, Walker said his team’s health could be a huge advantage. “For the first time in four years, our returners are healthy, and I feel good about the experience they bring back,” Walker said. “Athletically, this is probably the best group we’ve had at Nebraska.” u Personally, I’m way pumped to be here.
