Remembering Nancy Sabol

ONU establishes scholarship and suite of rooms in her memory

Ohio Northern University College of Law has established a scholarship and dedicated a suite of rooms to honor Nancy Sabol.

She served as the Director of Academic Support, Associate Professor of Law and Title IX Coordinator at Ohio Northern University until her death on April 25, 2020, after a brief battle with cancer.

Her family launched a scholarship at ONU Law in her memory. Starting in Summer 2021, the scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student in the Summer Starter Program, a program designed for students who excelled in their undergraduate education but received a lower LSAT score.

Freshman Sydney Kilgore (Pleasant Plain/Little Miami) tied a school record with 10 points, scoring seven goals and adding three assists, to lead Ohio Northern.

She tied the single-game mark held by Maddie Storr in 2019 and Rachel Shipman in 2017.

Ward was named Second Team All-OAC and Serbin was an Honorable Mention All-Conference selection.

A four-year regular in toe rotation, Ward scored 393 points in 80 career games.
