Nebraska Star Honored

Right at the bottom of the long list of goals Billie Winsett-Fletcher hoped to achieve when she entered the University of Nebraska was to win a national championship.

She did that, and more. Winsett-Fletcher was named NCAA Woman of the Year for the combination of academic excellence, community service and fine play as an outside hitter for the 1995 Nebraska champion volleyball team.

“The final thing was to win the national championship,” Winsett-Fletcher said before she was honored along with nine other finalists at an NCAA dinner.
