UNO Athletics Hall of Fame

2010 Hall of Fame inductees honored at Night with the Mavs

The UNO athletic department recognized the 2010 UNO Athletic Hall of Fame inductees as part of the festivities surrounding the second annual "Night with the Mavs."

Football player LaRon Henderson, hockey player David Brisson and soccer player Stephanie Kirby were recognized at the event March 31 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in LaVista, Neb. Short biographies of each former Maverick follow below.


David Brisson set the school single-season and career scoring records when he played at UNO from 1999 to 2003. He finished with 65 goals and 79 assists for 144 points, a mark that is still third-best in UNO history. He had a then-school record 47 points during the 2000-01 season and is still fifth-best in that category.

A native of Quebec City, Quebec, Brisson was a first-team all-Central Collegiate Hockey Association selection in 2001 and was a member of the CCHA All-Academic team as a senior. He is one of three players to play in a school-record 159 career games.

 

LaRon Henderson became UNO’s all-time leading rusher during his career, which spanned 1987 to 1990. He finished with 2,720 yards, now third highest in school history.

Henderson's best game came in his final appearance for the Mavericks when he rushed for a then-school record 233 yards against South Dakota in 1990. That one-game total still ranks eighth in UNO history. The native of St. Joseph, Mo., was named to the all-North Central Conference second team three times.

 

Stephanie Kirby is a two-time first team All-American and a four-time member of the all-North Central Conference team. The Elkhorn, Neb., native helped lead the UNO soccer team to three NCC tournament titles and second- and third-place finishes in the NCAA Division II tournament. She was also a CoSIDA Academic All-American and a member of the NCC All-Academic team three times. In addition, she was a two-time selection to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Scholar All-American First Team.

The Omaha World-Herald named her the state’s College Female Athlete of the Year in 2003. She finished her career with 25 goals and 33 assists for 83 points.
