The announcement is a big boost to John Cook’s squad. The return of Stivrins makes Nebraska even more of a national title contender this fall. Previously, Lexi Sun had announced her return as well. Those two join a solid core of underclassmen returners and the top recruiting class in the nation.
Towards the end of the podcast, released Thursday, Hames asked Stivrins if she’s coming back this season.
“Yes I am,” Stivrins said. “Eventually!”
