A former Husker is now a part of a professional football club in her home country. Everton Women FC, a club in Liverpool, England, announced that former Nebraska soccer player Eleanor Dale signed with the team.
Everton is a part of the Women’s Super League, the top division of English women’s football. Dale, a native of Billingham, England, joins the Blues following a historic season to conclude her collegiate career at Nebraska. Dale led the nation in goals with 28 on the season and ranked third in Big Ten history in single-season goals.
She also helped the Huskers reach their third Elite Eight appearance in program history. With her total goals, she also broke the school record for goals in a season, which was held by Kim Engesser, who set the record with 27 goals in 1998.
Dale broke the record in Nebraska’s 4-0 victory against UC-Irvine in the Sweet Sixteen to end her career with 44 goals, the sixth-best in school history.
