OMAHA Neb.
Nebraska’s Sarah Pavan on Monday won the Honda-Broderick Cup as the nation’s female college athlete of the year. The award came six months after she and the Cornhuskers won the national volleyball championship.
So what’s she have planned for her senior year?
“To do it all again,” Pavan said. “I came to Nebraska to win a national championship, and I did. I’m not going to sit on my butt and relax. We’re definitely going to go for a second one.”
The junior from Kitchener, Ontario, guided No. 1-ranked Nebraska to a 33-1 record and was honored with the 31st edition of the award, which was presented at Columbia University in New York.
The Honda-Broderick Cup recognizes academic achievement and community involvement in addition to outstanding athletic accomplishments.
Pavan was selected by a vote of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Program board of directors.
