2010 was special for the Huskers as they made their first trip as a team to the NCAA Championships under Head Coach Kerry McDermott. The Huskers carried the momentum over to the 2011 season and made a trip to the national tourament for a second straight year.
McDermott’s latest success story has been Christopher Aumueller, who has been a force for the Huskers since he arrived on camps in 2008. As a freshman, Aumueller won 23 matches in route to winning the 2009 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Aumueller earned All-
Big 12 Singles Team honors in 2011 and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2012. Benedikt Lindheim also earned All-Big Ten honors in 2012 as a second-team selection.
