Senior Koty Frank has been named the Big Ten Baseball's Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday morning.

Frank started on the mound for the Huskers in Nebraska's combined one-hitter vs. BYU in the series opener. The combined one-hitter was the first for the Big Red since Nate Fisher, Robbie Palkert and Colby Gomes teamed up in a 2-0 win at Baylor on March 9, 2019.

The Tushka, Okla., native pitched 6.2 innings in the no-decision, tying his career-high set earlier this season vs. Northwestern State. Frank's final line on the night included one hit, seven strikeouts and zero walks in the shutout performance. With Frank on the mound, BYU managed to only have one baserunner reach second base.

Two softball players from Hawaii will join the North Platte Community College Knights Softball Team next season. They are Krysta-Lyn “Ulu” Lewis, of Waimea, and April Grace, of Kawaihae.

Lewis served as catcher for both the Honokaʻa High and Intermediate School Dragons softball team and the Gold Coast Little League Softball Team.

“I chose North Platte because it was the first school to actually see me and the potential that I have,” said Lewis.

Lewis is the daughter of Anuhea Lewis, of Waimea.

Grace is a pitcher and infielder for the Hawaii Preparatory Academy softball team. Like Lewis, she also played for Gold Coast.

“I chose North Platte because it seemed like a perfect fit for my intentions and growing as a person and player,” said Grace.

Grace comes to North Platte after throwing the first no hitter in her high school’s history. She was on the winning team at the Hawaii Amateur Softball Association state championships and also played on the team that finished second in the 2021 Little League Softball World Series.

Grace’s parents are Kalani and Kaliko Grace, of Kawaihae.

“We are excited to add these two young ladies to our program,” said NPCC Head Women’s Softball Coach Janelle Higgins. “They will both bring depth to our current roster and depth in the circle and behind the plate.”

KEARNEY, Neb.-Nebraska-Kearney Athletic Director&nbsp;<a href="https://lopers.com/staff.aspx?staff=32">Marc Bauer</a>&nbsp;announced today (April 11) that&nbsp;Rob&nbsp;Breton&nbsp;is the&nbsp;new head women's soccer coach. The Maryland native replaces Neil Piper, who accepted the position in February but recently left UNK due to unforeseen family circumstances back in Texas. Breton will be the fourth head coach in school history; the program began in 2009. "I am sure this is not the first time there has been a sudden change in a coaching position; however, it was one we were not anticipating. I want to thank the search committee for their quick response and work throughout the process," said Bauer. "I am excited to welcome Coach Breton to the Loper Family. He has an impressive soccer background, and his core values align with the Athletic Department's mission. Coach Breton has a clear, can-do, forward-thinking vision for elevating the program. I appreciate that he is committed to developing the entire student-athlete, focusing on academic and athletic success, University and community involvement, and all aspects of the student-athlete experience."&nbsp; Breton spent the past three years as an assistant women's coach at Division II Alderson Broaddus University (Philippi, W.V.). With an enrollment of 800, the school competes in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) with the women's soccer team led by head coach and former Creighton assistant Jaron Hulme. Breton was involved in all aspects of AB soccer (academics, athletic and administrative). He helped coach three all-conference players, had one player sign an overseas professional contract, saw the team's cumulative grade point average rise to 3.63, and had 45 student-athletes earn a 4.00 semester GPA. "I'm honored to be taking on the role of Head Coach for Women's Soccer at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. When I applied for this position and looked at the University, I saw tons of potential for growth in the program to be something special.&nbsp;The University has many opportunities for students to grow and learn at an exceptional level and a community that fully supports them," said Breton. At AB, he also assisted with the Battler men's soccer program and worked with Clarksburg's Excel Futbol Club (girl's head coach). Before his time in Phillipi, he worked with the Empire Futbol Club (boy's and girl's head coach) in Bridgeport and the Marion Futbol Club (boy's and girl's head coach) in Fairmont. Finally, Breton served as a boy's assistant coach for Harford Kicks and was a camp instructor and counselor in Maryland and West Virginia during the summer. He also helped create and manage the Appalachia Steel F.C., a men's amateur club working towards USPL and/or NISA status. On the pitch, he helped win the 2018 Men's Amateur State Cup. "After speaking with&nbsp;<a href="https://lopers.com/staff.aspx?staff=32">Marc Bauer</a>, you can feel the belief and desire in his words about UNK that make you want to be a part of this special place.&nbsp;The way Marc described his expectations for the program really made me believe this is the place I need to be and want to be," said Breton. Holding a USSF National C &amp; D license, Breton also is certified by the U.S. Soccer Coaches Association in goalkeeping, attacking positions, and 1v1, head coach and assistant coach. Breton played at Division II West Virginia Wesleyan (Buckhannon, W.V.), helping the Bobcats reach the 2010 Elite Eight and earn a No. 2 national ranking. The team co-captain also helped Wesleyan reach the conference finals three straight seasons. Breton holds a B.S. degree from Wesleyan in Exercise Science. "During the search, Coach Breton impressed the committee with his energy, drive, knowledge of the game, recruiting plans, and overall approach to teaching the game. In addition, his poise and communication skills stood out as he gained a high level of interest and trust throughout the process," said Bauer. "Our commitment to this program has not changed, and we have high expectations for our women's soccer program under Coach Breton's leadership." UNK soccer is currently in its spring ball season with two scrimmages remaining; April 24 at home vs. Concordia and April 30 at Iowa Western C.C. The 2022 season kicks off on August 26 (Friday) vs. Winona (Minn.) State. "I feel that the University has set up the athletic department in a way where success is not just a want, but a capability and a place for the student-athlete to have a wonderful experience.&nbsp;I believe that this program is in a conference that will allow us to compete against some top-quality talent and get to challenge ourselves every game," said Breton.&nbsp;"I look forward to helping push this program to new heights and competing for the conference tournament immediately.&nbsp;There is a lot of talent and potential on this team. I am really excited to be a part of the Loper family and can't wait to get started."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nebraska suffered a 19-1 setback in the series finale vs. Rutgers at Hawks Field on Sunday afternoon.

Dawson McCarville fell to 2-4 on the year, allowing two runs on two hits in 1.2 innings of work. Jackson Brockett had a career outing in relief, throwing a career-long 4.1 innings with a career-high four strikeouts. Brockett allowed one run on four hits.

Cam Chick went 1-for-2 with a double, run and a walk, while Efry Cervantes was 1-for-3 with a double for Nebraska at the plate.

Another year gone by, another Knights player planning to continue their career at the next level. Allie Schneider today signed her letter of intent to play volleyball for Peru State University.&nbsp;

Here is both Allie and Coach McCall talking about the signing:&nbsp;

North Platte Community College volleyball player Allie Schneider has signed a letter of intent to continue her athletic career at Peru State College.

The 5-foot, 9-inch setter from Humphrey, Neb. was one of four NPCC volleyball players to be named to the National Junior College Athletic Association All-Region IX Team last season.

“I chose Peru initially because it has an amazing education program,” Schneider said. “I saw that they got a new volleyball coach and considered playing. When I talked to her, I got excited about the opportunity and thought it would be a good fit for me.”

During her final season at NPCC, Schneider provided a total of 999 assists, which put her 10th in the nation, and had an average of 8.32 assists per set, ranking her 31st at the national level. Schneider was also second in the region in both total assists and assists per set.

Altogether, Schneider boasts career totals of 1,156 assists, 138 kills and 346 digs. She helped the Knights win the regional championship her freshman year and advance to nationals.

Schneider has consistently been on either the Dean’s or President’s List during her time at NPCC, and during the 2020-21 academic year, Schneider also qualified for the NJCAA’s All-Academic Second Team for her efforts in the classroom.

“We are excited to have Allie continue her volleyball career,” said NPCC head volleyball coach Alexa McCall. “She has done a lot of great things for our program during her time here as an athlete, student and leader. She is a great representative of our Knight family, and I know that she will continue to excel at Peru. I think she can help the program with her experience and leadership.”

Even though she’s moving on, NPCC will always have a special place in Schneider’s heart.

“I loved my time at North Platte,” Schneider said. “I met some amazing friends, teammates, coaches and instructors. I know I would not be at the level I am both academically and athletically if I had not chosen NPCC. The opportunities I had are ones not many people get, so I am very grateful for that and for all the support I received.”
