Trio of Mav greats inducted into UNO Athletic Hall of Fame
Three former Maverick student-athletes were inducted into the UNO Athletic Hall of Fame during the fifth Alumni Night of Honor at the Thompson Alumni Center Oct. 23. This year’s inductees included Bryan Marshall, a member of the hockey team from 2004-08; Evan Porter, a member of the baseball team from 2006-2009; and, Amy Price, a member of the women’s soccer team from 2002-06.
“Our inductees this year were outstanding representatives of our department and university as student-athletes, and they continue to be great ambassadors for UNO as alumni,” said Trev Alberts, UNO’s vice chancellor of athletics. “This year’s group includes an all-conference selection, two All-Americans and a national champion. All three are among the best to have played their respective sports at UNO, and they are certainly worthy of a place in our Hall of Fame.”
With their induction, the Hall of Fame grew to 120 members.
