2009-10 Outlook
Danielle van der Meer is one of only three Huskers with international experience, as she has been a member of the Dutch National Team for three years.

"Danielle was a starter on the national championship team," Nebraska Coach Bill Straub said. "She went back to the Netherlands and made the national team, representing her country around the world. She also played in the Women's U.S. Open this summer and did an admirable job. We think she could really be a star."
