Huskers Honored at “A Night at the Lied”


The annual “A Night at the Lied” event Sunday evening celebrated Nebraska Athletics for its top achievers on the field, in the classroom and in the community.

Seniors Billie Andrews (Softball) and Ethan Piper (Football) won the most coveted awards at the 34th annual event, as they were selected as the 2023-24 Most Outstanding Female and Male Student-Athlete. To be considered for the award, student-athletes must have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or better, performed with distinction in a varsity sport, demonstrated a commitment to service and leadership, and acted in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics.

Andrews and Piper will be Nebraska’s Big Ten Medal of Honor recipients in 2024. The conference’s most exclusive award was the first of its kind in intercollegiate athletics to recognize academic and athletic excellence.

Soccer’s Eleanor Dale was named the Female Athlete of the Year after leading the Huskers to one of its best seasons in school history. Track and Field’s Till Steinforth earned four first-team All-America honors over the past year to take Male Athlete of the Year.

As for the Freshman Athlete Athlete of the Year honors, volleyball’s Bergen Reilly and wrestling’s Antrell Taylor were tabbed.
