Love Is In Fact The Answer

Nebraska Cheerleader Brianna Anson

A Statement from The University of Nebraska:

The University of Nebraska Athletics family is deeply saddened with the passing of Brianna Anson, a valued member of our Spirit Squad and student at UNL. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, loved ones and fellow Spirit Squad members and staff.

The UNL community hurts today to know we have lost one of our own. It is our sincere hope at this difficult time that everyone will take care of and support one another.  UNL counselors are on hand and have been meeting with close friends, fellow Spirit Squad members and classmates. Others who are deeply affected by this loss are encouraged to contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 402-472-7450.

We have a love for life, which on Saturdays in the fall is filled with College Football.  While we primarily focus on the events on the gridiron, it is the Color & Pageantry on the sidelines and in the surrounding community on gameday that makes it so special. That without question is inclusive of the cheerleaders and spirit squads.

We join The University of Nebraska in offering our prayers to Brianna, her family and friends, the cheer community and fans of the beloved game of College Football nationwide.  Brianna was a beautiful young lady with the world waiting for her to experience all life has to offer.  Sadly, her journey was cut short.

If you are suffering or need assistance, please seek out family, friends or strangers; most would be happy to help, and it may be a help to them as well.  Take care of and support one another.

Love is in fact the answer.
