Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle watches the action vs. Penn State on April 5 at Bowlin Stadium.
Watching the NCAA Softball Selection Show on May 12, longtime Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle couldn鈥檛 help but feel disappointed.
Even though Nebraska had no bullpen due to multiple season-ending or other severe injuries to its pitching staff, Revelle鈥檚 a competitor.
鈥淚 feel like we still could have made it, had we won this game or taken care of that game,鈥 Revelle said on the eve of the Women鈥檚 College World Series. 鈥淚 felt like we were maybe just even a game or two away from being selected. As the competitor in me, I was probably more focused on that for the first week after the season, and I kept thinking, 鈥業鈥檒l look back on the season one day that we did a lot with a lot of different circumstances. But right now, as a coach and competitor, it鈥檚 like we missed some opportunities.鈥
They did miss some opportunities. There鈥檚 no avoiding that. But being on the NCAA Tournament bubble despite the six season-ending injuries and other shorter-term injuries that briefly sidelined even more members of the Red Team? They can take some solace in that.
People are also reading…
Heck, it felt like nearly everyone dealt with an injury of some sort this past season that limited them in some form. Even Revelle. She鈥檚 recovering from a shoulder surgery that she had earlier this week stemming from over-use that flared up in November and never went back to normal.
With that in mind, here are some updates on assorted topics from my conversation with Revelle:

Jordy Bahl's recovery from a season-ending ACL injury is going well, Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle said.
REHAB + FALL SLATE UPDATES
The recoveries for everyone 鈥攕pecifically Abbie Squier (hip/shoulder), right-handed pitcher/utility Jordy Bahl (knee), left-handed pitcher Caitlin Olensky (pectoral), Talia Tokheim (shoulder), Dakota Carter (shoulder) and Revelle (shoulder) 鈥 are 鈥済oing well,鈥 Revelle said.
鈥淓verybody鈥檚 on the road to recovery,鈥 she said. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e just longer recoveries.鈥
Those longer recoveries mean the fall slate will be impacted to the point where Revelle doesn鈥檛 think the Huskers will be able to compete against other teams.
While it鈥檚 unfortunate, it鈥檚 the right move. They just don鈥檛 have the pitching.
Bahl and Olensky won鈥檛 be available for the fall due to their injury recoveries. Sarah Harness is out of eligibility. Kaylin Kinney could return for a final season if she chooses (she鈥檚 expected to make that decision over the summer), but she鈥檚 on the mend from her injuries, too. And while Emmerson Cope did not have offseason surgery to remedy the old arm injury that limited her time in the circle this past season, she still needs time to recover, too.
They鈥檒l have some fall scrimmages where they can have redshirt freshman Elisa Gulfin and incoming transfer southpaw Hannah Camenzind make their debuts for Nebraska in the circle. And since it鈥檚 not actual competition, assistant coach and former Nebraska pitcher Olivia Ferrell could throw some innings. The same holds true for Courtney Wallace, another former Nebraska workhorse pitcher who served as a graduate manager this past season.
鈥淲e鈥檙e going to make the most out of that,鈥 Revelle said of not playing true fall games. 鈥淲e鈥檙e gonna flip it. We鈥檙e going to model it more like the southern schools. The southern schools come in and they do small group and training in a small group kind of fashion, then they go more into team. And we鈥檒l do that too. In some ways, we鈥檙e looking forward to that. I know our strength coach is really looking forward to that.鈥
INCOMING TRANSFERS
Thus far, Nebraska has signed three incoming transfers: Hannah Camenzind, utility Lauren Camenzind and middle infielder Ava Kuszak.
鈥淚 feel like they鈥檙e all going to really help us,鈥 Revelle said of the transfers. 鈥淲e鈥檝e known all year that we want to bolster our arm for the circle, and then when Kaylin was having trouble, that obviously became more apparent. And then the whole middle infield thing with Billie (Andrews), such a great athlete with such a great career.
鈥... Any time you can bring in some athletes that have proven themselves at the collegiate level, at a high level of competition, like the twins playing in the SEC and Ava playing at Wisconsin, played a really tough schedule last year. We just feel really fortunate.鈥
One of the cool things about the Camenzinds and Kuszak is all of their ties to the state and/or the program.
Kuszak, from Colorado, 鈥減robably has more family in Nebraska than anywhere else in the country,鈥 Revelle said, adding that Nebraska recruited her the first time around, too.
For Hannah and Lauren, they鈥檝e been around the Nebraska softball program since they were little 鈥 as illustrated by some photos that were shared on social media when they signed earlier this week.
鈥淚t was really fun to post 鈥 with both sets of twins鈥 permission 鈥 that picture when they were with the Edwards twins because they used to idolize those guys,鈥 Revelle said of the photo of Hannah and Lauren and Taylor and Tatum from the early 2010s. 鈥淭hat was just really special. Kind of a full-circle moment for everybody.鈥
This is the latest example of how important it is to build relationships.
Sure, it might not have worked out two years ago, but in the transfer portal era, you never know what the future might hold.
鈥淚鈥檝e never had heartburn because somebody picks a different school because they鈥檙e trying to look out for the best fit,鈥 Revelle said. 鈥淏ut then in a couple situations where we鈥檝e had it come back around, it really is special.鈥
NEW-LOOK BIG TEN
It鈥檒l be much, much harder to win the Big Ten next season, as three new teams join the fold with UCLA, Washington and Oregon. (USC doesn鈥檛 have softball.)
All three of those teams made the postseason. Oregon got a rough draw to the Norman Regional against Oklahoma. Washington was sent to the Columbia Regional and lost there. UCLA advanced to the Women鈥檚 College World Series.
鈥淚鈥檓 excited,鈥 Revelle said of the additions. 鈥淭he three schools that have been added are really going to help draw attention to Big Ten softball, which I think is great. We have maybe some travel challenges, but if you think about it, we still have to go to Maryland and Penn State, so it all evens out since we sit in the middle. We鈥檙e pretty fortunate that way.
鈥淚 think there are more bonuses and pluses for us in softball than anything else. I鈥檓 looking at it that way. I鈥檓 looking forward to the style of softball and the level of softball that those schools play and what they鈥檙e bringing to the conference. I think it鈥檚 great.鈥
In a unique scheduling quirk, Nebraska played all three schools this past season. Nebraska opened the season against Washington in what was supposed to be a much-anticipated pitching dual between Jordy Bahl and Ruby Meylan before Bahl went down with her season-ending injury in the third inning. Washington won 8-0.
In the Mary Nutter Classic, Nebraska lost a heartbreaker to UCLA after the Bruins rallied in the bottom of the seventh to win, 9-8. The next day, Nebraska rebounded to beat Oregon, 6-0.
THE FUTURE
Revelle鈥檚 contract is nearing its end, currently running through the end of the 2026 season.
But she, having led the program since 1993, is not thinking about that.
鈥淗ere鈥檚 what I told the doctor before he went in to do my shoulder: 鈥楾here鈥檚 a lot of fight left in this dog, so let鈥檚 try to fix it up,鈥欌 Revelle said. 鈥淲hat that means, I don鈥檛 know. You never know. I don鈥檛 think you could ever put a time on it.
鈥淣o matter what I鈥檓 doing, I always want to stay working with people. I鈥檝e been a coach for so long and I鈥檝e been involved with the sport for so long, I think I鈥檒l always want to do something with the sport. I鈥檓 a big believer that opportunities will present themself in due time when that time is supposed to happen.鈥
WOMEN鈥橲 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
It鈥檚 been 11 years since Nebraska made it to the Women鈥檚 College World Series, which started this week in Oklahoma City.
This year鈥檚 field: reigning champion Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Florida, Stanford, Duke, Alabama and UCLA.
What will it take for Nebraska to get back there? Pitching, solid defense and a little luck, Revelle said.
But with Nebraska at home this year, Revelle鈥檚 supporting UCLA since the Bruins are about to join the Big Ten.
