Softball pitcher Jordy Bahl is out for the season after tearing her ACL during opening weekend.
Bahl, who won two national championships at Oklahoma before transferring to Nebraska, posted on social media that she injured her knee while delivering a pitch against Washington. The Cornhuskers were at a tournament in Puerto Vallarta, with Bahl pitching in a game on Feb. 8.
“With a heart thankful for God’s plan and timing, I will be redshirting this year, and looking forward to a season of growth and learning from a different point of view,” Bahl posted Tuesday. “I’m thankful for the support of my family, friends, coaches, and staff. I’m truly blessed to have so many wonderful and loving people in my life. I’m not going anywhere. See you in 2025.”
His will > my will.

If granted a medical hardship waiver for the season, Bahl will have two seasons of eligibility left.
“Obviously, we are all disappointed to hear the news of Jordy’s season-ending knee injury,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said in a statement. “We are grateful that Jordy is in excellent care with our medical team and are confident in a full recovery.”
Bahl, a native of Nebraska, announced her transfer last June – one week removed from leading Oklahoma to a third straight national championship. She was named Most Outstanding Player in the WCWS, and it was expected she would bolster Nebraska this season.
The Cornhuskers entered the season ranked 18th in the country, and are currently 2-2.
