Rhonda Revelle Field at Bowlin Stadium – Sound Good?

“This is a most deserving honor for one of the truly great coaches and people in the history of college softball,” Athletic Director Troy Dannen said. “Rhonda Revelle is Nebraska Softball. She has won more games than any coach in the history of Nebraska athletics and her sustained success speaks for itself.

We are proud that all future Husker home softball games will be played on a field bearing Rhonda’s name. ” So said Dannen on Saturday afternoon post-game of the 13-0 Nebraska victory over Iowa in the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ regular-season home finale following the softball team’s Senior Day celebration after completing a sweep of the Hawkeyes. He was joined on the field by University of Nebraska President Jeffrey Gold having announced a surprise would follow the celebration of the seniors.

Dannen first presented an encased softball commemorating Revelle’s 1200th victory as the Huskers’ coach, a milestone reached on April 5th in an 11-5 victory over Rutgers. Her total of 1210 victories currently places her 3rd among active coaches. Now in her 34th season, she is the winningest coach in Nebraska Athletic history in any sport and is a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame having been inducted in 2010.

She has the third-most victories of any active Division I head coach. Before getting into some of the accomplishments and numbers over her storied career, it may be most important to note that as a player and coach, Revelle has been a part of more than 75 percent of the games in the history of the Husker program, including every game at Bowlin Stadium since it opened in 2002. Add in longtime associate head coach and fellow Husker alum Lori Sippel and the two have combined to be a part of 90 percent of Nebraska’s victories all-time.
