After missing the entire 2024 season due to injuries, Abbie Squier is making the most of her senior season.

The senior outfielder powered the No. 16 Nebraska Cornhuskers to a 10-2 five-inning win against the Utah Utes Sunday afternoon to cap off a 4-2 weekend at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, Calif.

Squier finished the game 3-for-3 with two home runs and four runs batted in. It was the fourth multi-home run game of her career. She finished the weekend 8-for-14 with three homers, eight RBIs and six runs scored.

Kacie Hoffman and Ava Bredwell both added home runs of their own with Hoffmann collecting two hits.

Jordy Bahl (5-2) pitched all five innings for NU allowing two runs while striking out five batters and walking one en route to the win.

Utah jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning but the Huskers managed to fight back registering a four-run second inning sparked by Bredwell's solo shot.

Olivia DiNardo was hit by a pitch, Kennadi Williams pinch ran for her and then Hoffmann homered to give the Huskers a 3-2 lead. The Big Red never looked back.

Up next for Nebraska is the Wichita State Tournament beginning Friday. The Huskers will open competition at 10 a.m. (CT) against South Dakota State.

The game is free to listen to on the Huskers Radio Network.
