Nebraska Softball Loses Pitcher to Transfer Portal
Nebraska Softball has lost one of its pitchers to the transfer portal.
After two seasons, Caitlin Olensky will look for a new home. Olensky saw limited action with the Huskers. She appeared in 16 games in her first season, pitching in 46.2 innings and finishing with a 3-2 record.
In her sophomore campaign, Olensky only appeared in seven games with 8.2 innings of work. Competing against ace Jordy Bahl as well as Hannah Caminzind and Kylee Magee, she struggled to break into the lineup.
Olensky confirmed the decision on X.
I’m so grateful for my two years at the University of Nebraska. With this being said, I’m entering the transfer portal as a left handed pitcher with two years of eligibility left.
