Lincoln – Although the setting was different than past Night of the Lied events, the Husker Athletic family came together Tuesday evening to celebrate the achievements of University of Nebraska student-athletes during the 2019-20 year.
The first virtual event recognized the outstanding performances in competition, classroom and community outreach and was highlighted by the live announcement of the major award winners, including the Male and Female Student-Athlete of the Year, the Best Male and Female Athlete and the Outstanding Male and Female Newcomer.
Seniors Sierra Hassel (Women's Gymnastics) and Luke Siedhoff (Track) won the most coveted awards at the 30th annual event, as they were selected as the 2019-20 Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Year, respectively, by a vote of the faculty members of the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee.
