COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES FOR BOOSTERS
The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.
NCAA PRINCIPLES
Institutional Control It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA. Responsibility The University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution. Compliance The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: Who is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is Contact? A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal

The game against the ACC champion Cardinals will be the fourth of a five-game road trip that starts at Washington State (Nov. 16) - a team that has defeated Nebraska each of the last two seasons. The Huskers head across the country to face 2018 NCAA Tournament qualifier Miami at its Thanksgiving tournament (Nov. 23), before closing the tournament against 2018 Big South runner-up Radford, which advanced to the 2018 WNIT second round with a win over Penn State. After the game at Louisville, the Huskers close their five-game road trip with in-state rival Creighton, which advanced to the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament a year ago.

2018-19 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
RAISING THE BAR: BIG RED WANT MORE IN 2019 After producing the nation’s best turnaround in 2017-18, Coach Amy Williams and the Nebraska women’s basketball team will take aim at earning a repeat trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2018-19. Williams, who enters her third season guiding the Huskers, led Nebraska to a 21-11 overall record that marked a 14-game improvement in the win column over Nebraska’s 2016-17 campaign. The Huskers added a top-four finish in the Big Ten regular-season standings with an 11-5 record and a trip to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals before advancing to the first round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. "I watched last year’s team work extremely hard all postseason, summer and preseason," Williams said. "Their commitment was really made mostly in strength and conditioning. They pushed themselves beyond what they thought they were capable of and because of that, it built confidence. It was truly a snowball effect. Their confidence in themselves and each other turned into chemistry and commitment. Nobody really cared about their own egos. They were a selfless team that put each other first." Nebraska’s unselfish, team-first approach became infectious throughout the season and the conference took notice by naming Williams the 2018 Big Ten Coach of the Year. Now, Williams and the Huskers are faced with a new set of challenges in 2018-19. The Big Red must replace graduated senior guards Jasmine Cincore, Janay Morton and Emily Wood, while facing a significantly stronger schedule that includes NCAA Women’s Final Four qualifier Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, NCAA Tournament teams Miami and Creighton on the road, and Washington State (Pac-12) and Arkansas (SEC) in early season road games. "We have put together a very challenging non-conference schedule, playing against four NCAA Tournament teams from last season, including a pair of conference champions," Williams said. "This should prepare us for the new 18-game Big Ten schedule we will face." Nebraska’s home schedule starts with NCAA qualifier and Summit League champion Drake and includes former Big 12 rival Kansas, along with Big Ten battles against 2018 NCAA qualifiers Michigan, Maryland, Minnesota and Iowa, as well as traditional powers Rutgers, Purdue and Michigan State and 2018 WNIT champion Indiana. “We definitely have the potential to be a better basketball team than we were last season, but maybe not have the record to show for it,” Williams said. “Our road non-conference schedule is extremely difficult, and I think the Big Ten will be better from top to bottom. It is good that we have some experienced players who know what to expect.” The cupboard is far from bare for the Big Red, as the Huskers return their top five scorers from 2017-18. However, Nebraska's 11-player roster is filled with five newcomers who will need to make the transition into significant contributors immediately to help the Huskers grow. "Some of the biggest challenges we will face come from the fact that 45 percent of our roster
Hannah Whitish earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore in 2017-18, after leading the Huskers in scoring (12.6 ppg), assists (4.7 apg) and three-pointers (73). Whitish expects to take on a greater leadership role for Nebraska in 2018-19. is new," Williams said. "Our upperclassmen are doing a good job of educating our team on how to work cohesively and commit to playing for each other. Strong leadership and our ability to embrace and enhance our culture will be determining factors for this team's success. We have been talking a lot about finding small ways to keep raising the bar for our program." Hannah Whitish earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore last season, while averaging team bests of 12.6 points and 4.7 assists per game. The 5-9 junior guard from Barneveld, Wis., added 4.0 rebounds per game and led the Huskers with 41 steals, while also connecting on a team-high 73 threes. "Hannah made substantial strides from her freshman to sophomore season, and we are looking for her to make a similar leap as a junior," Williams said. "She has shown the confidence to make big plays for our team, and she has goals to improve in all aspects of her game." Maddie Simon, a 6-2 senior from Lincoln Pius X, ranked second in scoring (10.1 ppg) and rebounding (5.3 rpg) in her first full season at forward as a junior. She will be key in providing leadership on and off the court. "Maddie has naturally stepped into a leadership role for our program," Williams said. "She is extremely motivated to be a consistent presence for us and make this her best season as a Husker." Taylor Kissinger, a 6-1 guard/forward from Minden, finished third on the team in scoring as a freshman with 10.0 points per game, while
ranking second with 50 threes despite missing seven games with an injury. "After a strong freshman season, Taylor's focus for the offseason was to attack her strength and conditioning to improve her agility, mobility and durability," Williams said. "We are extremely happy with the growth she has made both in the weight room and on the basketball court." Kate Cain did more than just score, the 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., smashed Nebraska season (100) and game (11) block records to earn a spot on the Big Ten AllDefensive Team. The Big Ten All-Freshman selection averaged 9.9 points and a team-best 7.0 rebounds. "Kate has made visible strides this offseason and is playing with much more confidence," Williams said. "We are so excited to watch as Kate continues to tap into her abilities. We believe she can be a real weapon at both ends of the court in our program." Junior Nicea Eliely, a 6-1 wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., ranked among NU’s top five in scoring (8.2 ppg), rebounding (4.0 rpg) and steals (37) despite an early season foot injury. "Nicea has made obvious gains with her strength and conditioning and we think that will pay big dividends for her at both ends of the court," Williams said. "We will need Nicea to set the tone for us defensively with a physical and disciplined approach this year." Junior Grace Mitchell rounds out a group of six returning Huskers. The 6-2 forward from Wellington, Kan., has appeared in 58 games

FIVE NEWCOMERS READY TO MAKE IMPACT with two starts for the Huskers over the past two seasons. She also provides an outstanding work ethic both on and off the court. "Grace remains one of our most explosive athletes and has been showing a lot of confidence this offseason," Williams said. "She could be a valuable part in establishing ourselves as a better defensive and rebounding team." Nebraska's group of five newcomers includes four freshmen that made up one of the top-20 recruiting classes in the nation, according to ESPN. That foursome added graduate transfer Kristian Hudson. "This group of newcomers has the talent and work ethic to make an impact for our team immediately, and we will rely on them early," Williams said. "The quicker we can collectively help them transition to playing at this level and in our system, the better for our team's chances of success." Hudson, a 5-5 senior point guard from Birmingham, Ala., could help the Husker attack be more effective at both ends of the court after scoring 1,076 points and dishing out 383 assists in her three seasons at Florida International. Hudson averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a junior. “We are excited to add Kristian to our Husker family," Williams said. "Her experience coupled with her enthusiasm to help us raise the bar for our program make her the perfect fit.” Ashtyn Veerbeek, a 6-2 forward from Sioux Center, Iowa, was a top-70 national recruit. The Iowa Class 2A Player of the Year at Western Christian High School averaged 25.8 points and 14.4 rebounds as a senior. “She is a strong, yet agile athlete who is an extremely talented basketball player," Williams said. "She is a fierce competitor who simply knows how to win. She understands what it means to work hard, and we are looking forward to the growth she will make at Nebraska.” A 5-9 guard from Minnesota, Sam Haiby was ranked among the top 125 players nationally at Moorhead High School. She scored more than 2,000 career points and averaged 25.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists as a senior. “Sam has a great feel for the game. Her athleticism and explosiveness allow her to make plays for herself and others,” Williams said. “She has incredible potential on the defensive side of the basketball, as she has deceptive length and quickness. Her experience with her high school and summer programs have prepared her to play at the next level.” Another Minnesota prep star, Kayla Mershon could provide key contributions inside at both ends of the court for Nebraska. The 6-3 forward was ranked among the top 135 players nationally. She is strong, runs well and is an outstanding worker with a high basketball IQ. “Kayla Mershon has great length and a strong all-around skill-set, and we are excited about her versatility,” Williams said. “Kayla has shown some unique natural gifts, but she is also a tremendous worker and has a great attitude. She has played for a state championship high school team, and an extremely competitive
summer team, and she is eager to compete at the highest level. We can’t wait to see all she will accomplish here in a Husker uniform.” Indiana All-State selection Leigha Brown rounds out the Husker freshman class. The 6-1 wing out of DeKalb High School could provide the Huskers with explosiveness after averaging 28.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists as a senior, including a massive 53-point performance. “We are so excited for all that Leigha will bring to our program. She is a versatile guard with good size and has the ability to score at all three levels,” Williams said. “She understands how to work and fits the culture we are establishing at Nebraska. Each time Leigha steps on the court, she plays like she has something to prove, and we will welcome that sense of urgency into our program.” That sense of urgency will need to permeate the Husker program, as Nebraska opens its regular season against Drake (Nov. 7). The Bulldogs return five starters from a team that has made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. After a second home game against USC Upstate (Nov. 11), the Huskers embark on a five-game road trip that includes Washington State (Nov. 16), NCAA Tournament qualifier Miami (Nov. 23), WNIT qualifier Radford (Nov. 25), NCAA Final Four participant Louisville (Nov. 29) and in-state rival Creighton (Dec. 2), which advanced to the NCAA second round in 2018. The Big Red return home for a three-game stand against traditional rival Kansas (Dec. 5), before facing San Jose State (Dec. 8) and closing the stand against Denver (Dec. 15).
The Huskers close non-conference play at Arkansas (Dec. 18), before opening their 18game Big Ten schedule against Michigan at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Dec. 28). Nebraska then faces back-to-back road tests at defending Big Ten champion Ohio State (Dec. 31) and NCAA qualifier Iowa (Jan. 3), before taking on Maryland at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Jan. 8). Each of Nebraska's first four league foes played in the 2018 NCAA Tournament, while Michigan, Ohio State and Maryland all advanced to the second round. The game against the Terrapins begins a five-game stretch where the Huskers play four at Pinnacle Bank Arena, including Rutgers (Jan. 13), Minnesota (Jan. 20) and Northwestern (Jan. 24). NU will step away from Lincoln to travel to Illinois (Jan. 17). Nebraska closes January with road games at Wisconsin (Jan. 27) and Purdue (Jan. 31), before returning to Lincoln to battle 2018 WNIT champion Indiana (Feb. 3). The Huskers then complete three key Big Ten double plays at Michigan (Feb. 7), at home against Purdue (Feb. 10), and on the road at Maryland (Feb. 14), before battling Michigan State (Feb. 17) for the only time in 2019 at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nebraska wraps another double play at Northwestern (Feb. 21), before concluding the season series with Iowa on Senior Night at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Feb. 25). The Huskers close the regular season at Penn State (March 2), before the Big Ten Tournament returns to Indianapolis (March 6-10). The 2019 NCAA Tournament Selection Show will be held on Monday, March 18, before the Big Dance begins for 64 teams on March 22.
Third-year starter Nicea Eliely expects to be a catalyst for the Nebraska defense in 2018-19. Last season, the Huskers led the Big Ten in field goal percentage defense and three-point field goal percentage defense. Eliely was Nebraska's Defensive MVP as a freshman in 2017. 14 ALL-TIME NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES

2018-19 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
BIG TEN CONFERENCE Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back 123 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the universities of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern and Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the James E. Delany regulation of intercollegiate athletics. Commissioner At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On Feb. 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana and Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last three years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the conference leaders and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. In 2014, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions that would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Penn State for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members.
BIG TEN NETWORK
Headquartered in Chicago, the Big Ten Network is the first internationally distributed television network dedicated to covering one of America’s premier collegiate conferences. With more than 400 live sports events, and virtually all of them in high definition, the Big Ten Network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni across the country. The network is on the air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The network is available to an estimated 60 million households. The network is carried by all major cable, satellite and telecommunications providers and BTN2Go is also available on smartphones, tables and the internet. Since the current Big Ten media agreements began in 2007-08, Big Ten women's basketball has received more coverage than any other conference.
On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by Nebraska, which officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded to 14 programs when Maryland and Rutgers officially became Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse gave the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women’s lacrosse beginning in 2016-17. On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame would join the Big Ten for men’s ice hockey in 2017-18. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, Ill., has played host to more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance-related committees and coaching groups. The headquarters also feature an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience - which opened to the public on June 7, 2014. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, visit bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Three Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service. The conference manages 28 championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of nearly 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
The University of Nebraska was chartered by the Nebraska Legislature in 1869 as the state’s public university and landgrant institution. Founded in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a state educational system now comprising four campuses under the guidance of a Board of Regents and a central administration. Nebraska, which joined the Big Ten Conference in 2011, is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, a consortium of Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, which has generated unique opportunities for students and faculty by sharing expertise, leveraging resources and collaborating on programs.
BIG TEN ACADEMIC ALLIANCE
As a member of the Big Ten, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which is the academic consortium of the universities in the Big Ten Conference. The consortium was renamed on June 29, 2016. The BTAA includes all 14 Big Ten Institutions and the University of Chicago. The Big Ten Academic Alliance and the institutions together have annual research expenditures topping $10.2 billion — more than the Ivy League and the University of California System combined — and they educate a total of nearly 600,000 students with approximately 50,000 full-time faculty members.

Washington State, B.A. (History, 1973) Family: Kendra (wife); Bo, Benjamin (sons); Christa, Brittany and Kati (daughters) Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future. Nine simple words that carry impressive significance and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s new athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the tone for building champions in competition and in life. William H. (Bill) Moos was named Nebraska’s Athletic Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those responsibilities on Oct. 23. Moos, who became the 15th athletic director in the history of the storied Cornhusker program, brings nearly 25 years of experience as an athletic director at three Division I schools (Washington State, Oregon, Montana) with him to Nebraska. More importantly, he brings an impressive track record of success in building outstanding programs, developing long-term relationships, and for doing what is best for his schools, its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes. “When you name the top three, four, five athletic programs in the great positions as an athletic director, Nebraska is in that same breath,” Moos said at his introductory press conference at Memorial Stadium. “I want you to know that my motto has always been, in the 25 years I have been a Division I athletic director and it will be here too is very simple - honor the past, live the present, create the future.” In his first six months at Nebraska, Moos made three coaching hires. He drew universal praise for hiring Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the
year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December. Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program. Moos also oversaw several team successes in his first six months in Lincoln. He watched the volleyball team win its fifth national title and second in three seasons in December. In 2018, both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in the top six at the NCAA Championships, while bowling finished third and rifle finished eighth. Nebraska also continued its excellence in the classroom, producing four CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including three first-team selections. The awards increased Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 333 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports. Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served 12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at Oregon (1995-2007). During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics, spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing rights agreement with IMG College. In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a remodeled press box with luxury seating, including suites, loge boxes and club room. Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and opened in May 2014. As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a 12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics. Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000 to more than 7,500. Additional facility enhancements under Moos included a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field underwent a major renovation making the venue TV-ready while also providing one of the best playing surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of lights and a new scoreboard. Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track facility, Bailey-Brayton Field, the basketball practice gym, Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes and coaches accounted for 805 academic all-conference selections, 130 allconference accolades, 45 All-America honors and three Pac-12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national prominence during his tenure.Oregon’s annual athletic department budget grew from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming 100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million. Moos initiated more than $160 million in facility

improvements while at Oregon. Included in that was the $90 million Autzen Stadium renovation in 2002, which added 12,000 new seats, 32 new suites, a new Club at Autzen and a new press box to the stadium. In his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in each of those seasons. During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13 Pac-10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an all-inclusive shoe and apparel contract with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon student-athletes collected 722 academic all-conference selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one NCAA Top Ten Award. During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator, developed a facility enhancement plan that created more than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in private and corporate gifts. Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally successful as the athletic department achieved a graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana garnered 269 academic all-conference selections, five Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients. Moos began his athletic career as an athletic administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director at Washington State. He also served as the school’s associate athletic director (1988-90). At Washington State, he was director of development for more than five years and associate director for nearly two years, supervising all external operations. Prior to that, he managed and owned private businesses in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a student assistant football coach at Washington State for the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington, D.C., serving as a government intern. Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and was a three-year letterman in football before concluding his collegiate career by representing Washington State in the 1972 East-West Shrine AllStar Game in San Francisco. He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad and garnered first-team All-Pac-8 Conference honors. Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters: Christa, Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.

MARC BOEHM
Executive Associate A.D./External Operations 15th Season Kansas State (1984)
A member of Nebraska's administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as Executive Associate Athletic Director for External Operations. Boehm serves as the sport supervisor for the Nebraska men's basketball program. He also serves as the liaison to Pinnacle Bank Arena, the NU Foundation, the Nebraska Alumni Association and IMG. He oversees all external areas of the department, including development, ticketing, communications, emerging media, marketing and HuskerVision. Boehm played a lead role during the men's and women's basketball programs move into Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2013-14. He also worked to help develop Nebraska's new practice facility - the Hendricks Training Complex - which opened in October of 2011. Boehm has worked to create a fan-friendly atmosphere at men's and women's basketball, leading to record-setting attendances and season ticket sales for both programs. In 2013-14, the men's basketball program sold out its season tickets for the entire year in May of 2013 in
anticipation of the first season at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The more than 15,000 Husker fans that packed the new arena watched the Big Red roll to a 15-1 home record on their way to the 2014 NCAA Tournament. NU ranked 11th nationally in average home attendance (15,492) in 2017-18, while the Huskers won 22 games and advanced to the postseason for the sixth time under Boehm's watch. The Huskers went 13-5 in the always powerful Big Ten Conference. Boehm was also the sport supervisor for women's basketball during the most successful stretch in school history. The Husker women earned seven NCAA Tournament bids, including a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in 2010 and 2013. The Huskers have produced the four highest single-season win totals in NU history over the past seven years. The Big Red have finished the season ranked in the top 25 in four of the past seven seasons - the first four top-25 final national rankings in school history. In 2013-14, Nebraska won its first-ever women's basketball conference tournament title, claiming the Big Ten crown with a 3-0 run in Indianapolis. In 2017-18, the Huskers produced the nation's largest turnaround in the win column. Nebraska's 14win improvement allowed the Big Red to finish with a 21-11 overall record that included a tie for third with an 11-5 mark in the Big Ten Conference. The Huskers advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals before competing in the 2018 NCAA Tournament under Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year Amy Williams. The Nebraska women's basketball program also ranked among the top 25 nationally in average home attendance for nine consecutive seasons. Boehm also played a lead role in bringing NCAA Tournament basketball to Lincoln for the first time since 1993, as the Husker women played host to the NCAA Lincoln Regional. Eventual national champion UConn, Texas A&M, DePaul and BYU battled for a spot in the 2014 NCAA Women's Final Four. The two sessions attracted well over 17,000 fans.
Boehm, who played a significant role in aiding Nebraska's functional transition to the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, was also instrumental in conceptualizing and developing the Husker Nation Pavilion, which is the premier pregame event around home football games. Boehm also took the lead role in obtaining First National Bank and Ameritas as premier sponsors for the Nebraska Athletic Department for a combined deal worth more than $7 million over a three-year period. First National Bank and Ameritas joined Verizon, Pepsi and adidas as premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics. Boehm held the same position at Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2003.

Williams, who proved herself as a winner and a program builder in her first nine seasons as a collegiate head coach, returned to her alma mater to lead a new stage in the Husker program. In her second season with the Big Red, Williams proved again she could get a program moving forward in a hurry. Williams captured 2018 Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors after leading the nation's biggest turnaround. The Huskers earned a bid into the 2018 NCAA Tournament and finished with a 21-11 record - a nation-leading 14-game turnaround in the win column over 2016-17.

The Huskers then knocked off No. 24 Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals to advance to the conference semifinals for the the first time since 2014. Defensively, Nebraska led the Big Ten with a school-record field goal percentage defense (.371) while also leading the conference in three-point field goal percentage defense (.299). The Huskers improved 12.7 points per game defensively over the 2016-17 campaign and were six points per game better on the offensive end. They shattered the school record with 250 three-pointers on the season. Individually, point guard Hannah Whitish earned second-team All-Big Ten honors, while 6-5 center Kate Cain captured spots on both the Big Ten AllFreshman and Big Ten All-Defensive teams. Cain shattered the Nebraska school record with 100 blocked shots on the season, including the school's first points-rebounds-blocks triple-double with 22 points, 14 boards and 11 blocks in a win over Florida Atlantic. With Cain leading the way, the Huskers smashed the school record with 163 blocks. Cain was joined in Nebraska's freshman class by Taylor Kissinger. The 2017 All-Nebraska player produced one of the top-five three-point shooting seasons by a freshman in Husker history. She and Cain combined to average nearly 20 points and more than 10 rebounds, making them one of the most productive freshman duos in Husker history, while also giving Williams her first top-25 recruiting class at Nebraska. Nicea Eliely also overcame an early season injury to increase her production from a strong freshman campaign, while junior Maddie Simon made the transition from a wing to the power forward position for the Big Red. Simon finished the regular season as Nebraska's second-leading scorer and rebounder despite battling an early season ankle injury. Nebraska returns each of its top five scorers in 2018-19, while adding its second consecutive top-25 recruiting class that includes Iowa all-stater Ashtyn Veerbeek, Indiana star Leigha Brown and Minnesota standouts Sam Haiby and Kayla Mershon. In her first season of a building process at Nebraska in 2016-17, the Huskers struggled to a 7-22 overall record that included a 3-13 Big Ten mark. While the Huskers' record was not glossy, the Big Red faced one of the nation's top-30 schedules and finished with three wins over top-65 RPI teams. Nebraska's regular season ended with a 7674 overtime win over NCAA Tournament-bound Michigan State at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Feb. 26. That win followed a 67-64 home win over an Indiana squad that finished in the top four in the final 14-team Big Ten standings. The Huskers added a win over Mountain West Conference regular-season champion Colorado State in the 2016 Preseason WNIT.

OUTLOOK (2018-19)
Nicea Eliely (pronounced ny-SEE-ah EEly-lee) returns for her third season in the Nebraska starting lineup. A long, wing player with excellent defensive skills, the 6-1 junior has continued to improve offensively during her time at Nebraska. Last season, Eliely averaged 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game despite missing time with an ankle injury early in the year. "Nicea has made obvious gains with her strength and conditioning and we think that will pay big dividends for her at both ends of the court," Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. "We will need Nicea to set the tone for us defensively with a physical and disciplined approach this year."
SOPHOMORE (2017-18)
Eliely started Nebraska's final 26 games after missing the Huskers' first three contests of 2017-18 while recovering from an ankle injury that kept her off the court and out of practice for the month of October and the first part of November. In 29 games, Eliely averaged 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals. She also ranked second on the team with 20 blocked shots on the season. Eliely was extremely efficient in Big Ten play, shooting 52 percent (52-100) from the field, including 42.3 percent (11-26) from
three-point range to help Nebraska to an 11-5 Big Ten record and a tie for third in the regularseason conference standings. Overall, she hit 46.9 percent (90-192) of her shots from the floor, including 38 percent (19-50) of her threepointers. Eliely was a major contributor in powering Nebraska to a spot in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals by scoring 12 points to go along with six rebounds, an assist, a block and two steals in a quarterfinal victory over Michigan in Indianapolis (March 2). It was her 12th doublefigure scoring effort of the season. Eliely was a key part of Nebraska's 14game improvement in the win column from 2016-17, while helping the Huskers to eight more conference wins than 2016-17.

She had 10-point efforts against No. 23 Michigan (Jan. 13), at Northwestern (Jan. 7) and against Florida Atlantic (Dec. 19), when she just missed a double-double by adding a career-high-tying nine rebounds. She managed three points, a rebound, a steal and three blocked shots against Arizona State (March 17) in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament in Austin, Texas. One of Nebraska's best defenders, she played a key role in helping Nebraska lead the Big Ten in both field goal percentage defense and three-point field goal percentage defense.
FRESHMAN (2016-17)
Eliely demonstrated her all-around skills by starting all 29 games as a true freshman, averaging 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a team-leading 1.6 steals per game.

Haiby produced a big junior season by averaging 22.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 4.1 steals in 2016-17. The 5-9 point guard at Moorhead High School capped her career by averaging 25.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists despite battling an early season knee injury as a senior. She became one of Minnesota's most recent 2,000-point career scorers. “Sam has a great feel for the game. Her athleticism and explosiveness allow her to make plays for herself and others,” Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. “She has incredible potential on the defensive side of the basketball, as she has deceptive length and quickness. Her experience with her high school and summer programs have prepared her to play at the next level.”

NEBRASKA'S BIG TEN HISTORY
Although Nebraska competed for the first time as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, the Huskers have a relatively substantial history playing against Big Ten opponents. Nebraska's first-ever meeting with a Big Ten school came with a thrilling 68-67 overtime victory over Minnesota on Dec. 30, 1977. Two weeks later, the Huskers improved to 2-0 against the Big Ten with a 71-63 victory over Iowa at the Jennies Classic in Warrensburg, Mo., on Jan. 13, 1978. The following season, Nebraska improved to 3-0 against the Big Ten with a narrow 59-57 victory over Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Nov. 28, 1978. Overall, the Huskers carry a 100-84 all-time record against Big Ten opposition after their first seven seasons of Big Ten Conference competition. Nebraska is 76-55 against Big Ten foes in its first seven seasons in the conference, including 67-49 in Big Ten regular-season play. The Huskers captured the 2014 Big Ten Tournament title by going 3-0 in Indianapolis. The Huskers are 9-6 all-time in the Big Ten Tournament and 7-4 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Huskers are 38-32 on the road in Big Ten play in seven Big Ten seasons.

2018-19 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
HUSKER FAMILY FUELS NATION'S TOP TURNAROUND "Family." The word the Nebraska women's basketball team chose to say out of every huddle in practice and games during a special 2017-18 season spoke volumes about the heart, passion and commitment the Huskers showed. With building a culture of family as the focus, Amy Williams' second season as Nebraska's head coach created remarkable results. The Huskers produced the nation's top turnaround on the court, running to a 21-11 overall record that resulted in a 14-game improvement in the win column from the 2016-17 campaign. Nebraska captured the No. 3 seed in the 14team Big Ten Conference Tournament after working its way to an 11-5 league record. The Huskers solidified their grip on the 14th NCAA Tournament trip in school history by beating a top-25 Michigan team in the Big Ten Tournament to advance to the conference semifinals for the first time since winning the Big Ten title in 2014. The Big Red, which produced its 17th 20-win season in school history and its eighth since 200607, earned a No. 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament and faced No. 7 seed Arizona State in the first round at the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, March 17. Although Nebraska's inspirational season came to an end on St. Patrick's Day, Williams and the Huskers feel like 2017-18 was just a beginning. The 2018 Big Ten Coach of the Year, Williams was able to engineer the Husker turnaround despite losing nearly have of Nebraska's scoring and more than 40 percent of its rebounding from 2016-17. What the Huskers lost on offense they more than made up for with defense, rebounding, overall effort and an unselfish approach that led to strong team chemistry in 2017-18. "I watched our team work extremely hard from the final buzzer a year ago, all postseason, summer and preseason," Williams said. "Their commitment was really made mostly in strength and conditioning. They pushed themselves beyond what they thought they were capable of and because of that, it built confidence. It was truly a snowball effect. Their confidence in themselves and each other turned into chemistry and commitment. Nobody really cared about their own egos. They are a selfless team that puts each other first." The statistics are striking. On defense, Nebraska improved by 12.7 points per game from the previous year, ranking among the Big Ten's best teams by allowing just 63.6 points per game. In 2016-17, the Big Red surrendered 76.3 points per contest. Nebraska set a school record by leading the Big Ten in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to hit just 37.1 percent of their shots. The Huskers also led the Big Ten in three-point field goal percentage defense (.299). The Huskers also smashed a school record by blocking 163 shots on the season. On the glass, Nebraska went from minus-2.6 rebounds to plus-2.4 rebounds per game. Nebraska's improvement on defense and on the boards were cornerstones of the Big Red's climb from the open of practice. "Since the very first days of the season we emphasized to our players that we want to hang our hat on defense and rebounding because those things show work ethic and attention to detail," Williams said. "We still have a long way to go from where we want to be in those categories, but our team showed their commitment to those areas this year." While the Huskers knew their hard work would show results on defense, they were less confident in their ability to put up more points in 2017-18.
The 2017-18 Huskers put together the nation's best turnaround, improving 14 games in the win column while also earning a berth in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Led by seniors Emily Wood (12), Jasmine Cincore (34) and Janay Morton (13) the Huskers tied for third in the 14-team Big Ten Conference. But the Big Red's ball movement, unselfishness and all-hands-on-deck approach allowed Nebraska to average 6.0 more points per game than 2016-17. The Huskers also set a school record by knocking down 250 three-pointers. Nebraska's field goal percentage (+.032), threepoint percentage (+.029) and free throw percentage (+.044) all improved drastically and the Huskers committed 2.7 fewer turnovers per game than 201617. Perhaps the most remarkable component of Nebraska's turnaround from 2016-17 to 2017-18, was the Husker resolve to overcome adversity. Nebraska's season was filled with challenges. Only three Huskers - Hannah Whitish, Kate Cain and Jasmine Cincore - played in all 32 games in 201718. Whitish, a 5-9 sophomore guard from Barneveld, Wis., earned second-team All-Big Ten honors after averaging team bests of 12.6 points, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. She was the only Husker to start every game on the year. Whitish also ranked among the Big Ten's best long-range shooters by burying 73 three-pointers on the season. Cain, a 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., who shattered the Nebraska individual record with 100 blocked shots, started NU's final 31 games. Cain was the last player added to Nebraska's roster, joining the team in June of 2017. Cain averaged 9.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game on the season while earning spots on the fiveplayer Big Ten All-Defensive Team and the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Cincore, Nebraska's most experienced player, also made 31 starts as a senior. The most versatile Husker defender, Cincore ranked second on the team in assists (68) and minutes played (882), while adding 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. The only other players on Nebraska's 12-player roster to remain injury-free during the season were senior Emily Wood and sophomore Grace Mitchell.
Wood, a 5-5 guard from Salina, Kan., played in 31 games with the first three starts of her career. The former walk-on played a major leadership role for the Huskers alongside Cincore, as the two set Nebraska's tone for work ethic. Wood closed her career by winning her second Big Ten Sportsmanship Award, her second Husker Award and by being named Nebraska's Lifter of the Year, an award Cincore won the previous season. "All of our seniors are special people who poured everything they had into our program this year," Williams said. "They all played major roles in making our season the special one that it became. It all started with them." While Nebraska's pair of fourth-year seniors were able to provide a consistent presence for the Huskers, NU's third senior, transfer Janay Morton, epitomized Nebraska's battle to overcome injuries. Morton, who transferred to Nebraska prior to the start of the 2016-17 season after spending three successful seasons at Eastern Michigan, missed much of July and all of August, September and October after undergoing foot surgery. The healing process was slow and frustrating for Morton. She missed Nebraska's first six games and eight overall while playing just 37 total minutes during the non-conference season. However, Morton continued to fight her way back onto the court and find a role while continuing to recover. After playing briefly and contributing in key early Big Ten road wins at Minnesota and Northwestern, Morton carried Nebraska to victory in the fourth quarter of a win at Illinois (Jan. 10). From that point, her role continued to grow. In a spectacular 92-74 road win at top-25 Iowa on Jan. 28, Morton scored 13 points in 14 minutes. She scored nine points in the final two minutes of the first quarter against the Hawkeyes to help the Huskers build a 30-point lead early in the second half on their way to a season sweep of Iowa.

BIG RED BATTLE THEIR WAY TO 2018 BIG DANCE Over the final eight games of 2017-18, Morton averaged 10.9 points per game, including a teamhigh 16 points against Arizona State in the only NCAA Tournament game of her career. Morton was far from the only Husker to face an injury in 2017-18. Maddie Simon, who made the transition from wing to power forward for her first full season in 2017-18, suffered an ankle sprain in warm-ups prior to the game with Creighton (Nov. 19). The 6-2 junior from Lincoln, Neb., missed four straight games, and Nebraska went 1-3 without Simon, who finished the season as Nebraska's second-leading scorer (10.1 ppg) and rebounder (5.3 rpg). She also ranked third on the team with 2.0 assists per contest as one of the Big Ten's most improved players. While Simon left the lineup, sophomore Nicea Eliely returned to the court for the first time against Creighton after missing more than four weeks with an ankle/foot injury that kept her out at the end of preseason practice and the start of the year. The 6-1 wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., had started all 29 games for Nebraska as a freshman. She returned to full speed by the start of 2018 Big Ten play to average 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game on the season. Soon after Eliely's return, freshman Taylor Kissinger was knocked out of action for nearly a month by a knee injury. Kissinger, a 6-1 guard/ forward from Minden, Neb., suffered the injury in the closing minute of a loss to Clemson on Nov. 30. She led the Huskers with 17 points against the Tigers, marking the fourth time in the first seven games of her career that she led Nebraska in scoring. Through the first seven games, she was NU's leading scorer with 14.0 points per game. She missed Nebraska's final six non-conference games. Those injuries meant that Nebraska never practiced with its full 12-player roster on the court for the first time until Dec. 26 - two days before its Big Ten opener with No. 12 Ohio State. Despite the injuries, Nebraska was the only Big Ten team to have 12 players compete in at least 24 games, and one of only two teams to have 12 players average 5.0 minutes in Big Ten games. Kissinger returned to gain strength throughout Big Ten play and contributed to the Huskers' 11 wins in a 14-game stretch heading to the regular-season finale at No. 13 Maryland on Feb. 25. Kissinger played just four minutes in the first quarter of a 7775 loss to the Terps before suffering a SC joint injury in a collision and fall. Kissinger's second injury kept her out of Nebraska's Big Ten Tournament win over top-25 Michigan and she played just two minutes in the semifinal loss against No. 17 Maryland, before returning for significant minutes against Arizona State in the NCAA Tournament. Late in the season, sophomore point Bria Stallworth (ankle) and junior forward Darrien Washington (shoulder) also missed games with injuries, while sophomore forward Rachel Blackburn (knees) was limited throughout the season in practice and games by chronic pain. All three still found significant ways to contribute for the Huskers throughout the season. Nebraska's resilience showed itself throughout non-conference play, especially on the road. The Huskers opened the season with a 62-53 win over a solid SIU Edwardsville team. Stallworth starred for the Huskers in her first game at Nebraska, scoring a game-high 21 points while adding six assists. It was her only game scoring in double figures as a Husker. Cain was also huge off the bench in her debut, just missing a double-double with 18 points and
nine rebounds while adding three blocks. Kissinger led the way in wins over UMKC and Arkansas with 18 points against the Roos before erupting for a career-high 25 against the Razorbacks. She hit 4-of-7 threes against Arkansas and grabbed eight rebounds in the 80-69 win. Cain pitched in her first career double-double with 12 points and 10 boards to go along with four blocks. Simon averaged 6.3 points and a team-best 9.3 rebounds through NU's first three games before the injury heading into the setback to Creighton. A loss on the road in Florida to eventual NCAA Sweet Sixteen qualifier Buffalo followed, before Nebraska notched its first win away from home under Coach Williams with a victory over Coastal Carolina on Nov. 24. The setback to Clemson left Nebraska at 4-3 before a home win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff preceded a three-game road trip to Kansas, NCAA Tournament-bound Drake and San Jose State. Whitish stepped to center stage at Kansas, erupting for a career-high 29 points. She scored 25 in the second half alone, and Nebraska put together one of the best defensive halves in school history on its way to a 66-49 win over their former Big 12 Conference nemesis. The Huskers held KU to just 13 second-half points, including no field goals in the entire fourth quarter, as Whitish outscored the beaks in blue 25-13 in the final 20 minutes. Nebraska's confidence blossomed more with the true road win at Kansas (Dec. 6). Their confidence grew when they came together on defense in the second half," Williams said. "Their confidence kind of turned into results right in front of them and they saw it with their own eyes and celebrated it with each other."
Maddie Simon was one of the Big Ten's most improved players, averaging 10.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in her first season as a power forward as a junior in 2017-18.
SIX NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES SINCE 2010
Three days later, the Big Red faced an even bigger road test at Drake. The Bulldogs had lost just one game at the Knapp Center in their previous 23 contests, but another 29-point performance by Whitish helped fuel Nebraska's 89-84 double-overtime victory. Whitish hit five threes while going 8-for-8 at the free throw line to help seal the win. She also dished out six assists and grabbed six rebounds to help her earn Big Ten Player-of-the-Week honors. Cain was also outstanding, scoring 19 points to go along with 14 rebounds while blocking four shots. Simon was also big, scoring a then-career high 17 points to go along with six boards and four assists, while Cincore put four Huskers in double figures with 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Overall nine of the 10 available Huskers who played in the game scored at least one point and all 10 had at least one rebound in a true team win. Nebraska capped its three-game road trip with an 81-55 victory at San Jose State on Dec. 17. Simon led NU with a career-high 20 points. The Big Red then capped a five-game overall winning streak by returning home for an 86-69 win over Florida Atlantic. Cain took center stage in the victory over the Owls by recording the first points (22), rebounds (14), blocked shots (11) triple-double in school history. Her 11 blocks smashed the school single-game record, as Nebraska also set a team record with 13 rejections on the night. Cain's performance earned her the fourth Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week honor of the non-conference as she established herself as one of the Big Ten's top newcomers. Overall, six Huskers produced double digits in the win over FAU, including 17 points and eight assists from Whitish, and 10 points and nine rebounds from Eliely. Nebraska entered Big Ten play with a 9-4 record, then improved to 12-5 after sweeping a three-game road trip at NCAA Tournament-bound Minnesota, Northwestern and Illinois to improve to 6-0 in true road games on the year. An overtime setback to No. 23 Michigan on Jan. 13, helped ignite another five-game winning streak for the Huskers that included the sweep of the season series with the top-25 Hawkeyes (Jan. 16, Jan. 28) along with a huge road win at top-25 Rutgers (Jan. 21). The Huskers also notched a crucial home win over Purdue (Jan. 24), before improving to 17-6 overall and 8-2 in the Big Ten by completing a season sweep of Illinois (Feb. 1). After a narrow home loss to No. 11 Maryland (Feb. 4), the Huskers rebounded with a home win over Wisconsin (Feb. 11), before another huge road win at Michigan State (Feb. 14). The victory over the Spartans gave Nebraska a 10-game overall road winning streak, including nine straight in true away games - among the longest streaks in school history. After NU's road streak was snapped at eventual WNIT champion Indiana (Feb. 17), the Huskers celebrated Senior Night for Cincore, Morton and Wood with a win over Penn State (Feb. 22). Nebraska outrebounded Penn State, 60-31, while holding the Lady Lions to just 28.1 percent shooting from the field, including 19 percent from three-point range. Cain led the way with 14 points and 20 rebounds to secure a 20-win campaign and help lock up an NCAA-Tournament bid. "Our three seniors poured their heart into this program, and they raised the bar a couple notches for us, Williams said. "Now the expectations have risen. That bar has been raised, and now we have to find ways to continue to raise it higher."

Game Highlights: Husker newcomers Bria Stallworth and Kate Cain combined for 39 points off the bench to lead Nebraska to a 62-53 seasonopening victory over SIU Edwardsville. The Huskers improved to 5-0 all-time at Pinnacle Bank Arena in season openers while notching their 12th straight season-opening win.

Game Highlights: Hannah Whitish scored 25 of her career-high 29 points in the second half and Nebraska played suffocating defense to roll to a 66-49 road win at Allen Fieldhouse. Whitish, who was scoreless the first 17 minutes, hit a three late in the first half after missing her first six field goal attempts. The Huskers, who trailed 33-20 with just over three minutes left in the half, pulled within 36-27 at halftime. In the second half, Whitish went 6-for-6 from the field, including three threes, and knocked down eight consecutive free throws in the final 1:29 to seal Nebraska’s first true road win since Jan. 24, 2016 at Michigan. Whitish added a team-high three steals for a defense that held the Jayhawks without a field goal in the fourth quarter. KU, which was 7-0 overall with a seven-game home winning streak, managed just four free throws in the period and just 13 points the entire second half, as Nebraska flipped the scoreboard 30 points on the beaks in blue in the game’s final 23 minutes.

Game Highlights: Hannah Whitish tied her career high for the second straight game, pouring in 29 points as Nebraska defeated Drake, 89-84, in a double-overtime thriller at the Knapp Center.

Cain smashed the previous school record of nine set by Olympic bronze medalist Danielle Page against Baylor on Feb. 3, 2007. The Huskers notched a school-record 13 blocks, eclipsing the previous team mark of 10 set five times. Cain was at her best in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting while adding five rebounds, four blocks and an assist to help the Huskers put up a season-best 34 points on 12-of-14 shooting in the period. She also helped hold the Owls to just 3-for16 shooting in the quarter. Nebraska trailed early in the fourth, but a pair of huge threes by Emily Wood, who scored eight of her 11 points in the quarter, shot NU back in front. Nebraska outscored FAU 20-5 in the final 5:55 to close its fifth straight win. Six Huskers finished in double figures, including 17 points and eight assists from Hannah Whitish. Nicea Eliely added 10 points and nine boards.

NU used an 11-0 run to cut the margin to nine midway through the third, then pulled within seven points with eight minutes left in the game, before the Cougars closed out the win. Wood provided the highlights for the Huskers by hitting 7-of-10 shots from the floor, including 5-of-7 threes. Hannah Whitish added 18 points, six assists and three steals as the only other Husker in double figures. Borislava Hristova and Alexys Swedlund led Washington State with 16 points apiece, while Louise Brown notched a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Game Highlights: Nebraska held No. 12 Ohio State to its second-lowest point total of the season, but the Huskers could not muster enough offense to overcome the Buckeyes in a 73-61 loss at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The nation’s highest scoring team came to Lincoln averaging 91.4 points per game and jumped out to a 17-5 lead in the first five minutes. But Nebraska gained control of the tempo and held OSU to just 17 points the rest of the half. The Buckeyes led 34-24 at the break and built the lead to 60-42 early in the fourth before Nebraska rallied to cut the margin to eight with five minutes left. The Huskers could get no closer, and the Buckeyes scored the game’s final four points in the closing minute to earn the double-digit win. All-American Kelsey Mitchell led OSU with 25 points, while Linnae Harper added 14 points and eight rebounds. Kate Cain and Maddie Simon led the Big Red with 14 points apiece, while Hannah Whitish managed 12 points. Taylor Kissinger returned after a six-game absence to score eight off the bench.
Game Highlights: Maddie Simon scored 16 of her team-high 18 points in the second half to lead Nebraska back from an eight-point third-quarter deficit to a 79-74 win over Minnesota at Williams Arena. Simon’s hook shot in the paint with 24.9 seconds left gave Nebraska a 75-74 lead. Twelve seconds later, she grabbed a defensive rebound of a missed three by Destiny Pitts and was immediately fouled. Simon calmly sank both free throws to push NU’s lead to 77-74 with 12.9 seconds left. Jasmine Cincore, who finished with 11 points, then blanketed Minnesota’s Carlie Wagner on a desperation three with six seconds left. Nicea Eliely, who finished with 14 points, grabbed the defensive board and was fouled before sinking two more free throws to seal the win. The Huskers made eight straight free throws in the fourth quarter to finish 11-of-13 at the line. NU also hit 52.5 percent from the field to snap its 12-game Big Ten road losing streak while handing Minnesota its first home loss of the season.

Center Kate Cain led the Huskers with 14 points, eight rebounds and three blocks while playing in front of dozens of family and friends near her home state of New York. Cain was a key part of a Husker defense that held the Scarlet Knights to just 29.3 percent shooting. Cain also helped the Huskers control the boards, 40-29, allowing them to overcome a 20-10 deficit in turnovers. Jasmine Cincore, Nicea Eliely, Hannah Whitish and Maddie Simon all played major roles in helping the Huskers knock off their second straight top-25 foe while recording their first-ever win at Rutgers.

Game Highlights: Nebraska played suffocating defense to hold Illinois to just 10 points in the first 20 minutes to match the fewest points allowed in a half in school history on its way to a 62-47 win over the Illini. The Huskers built a 26-10 halftime lead despite hitting just 8-of-30 shots in the first half. Nebraska was nearly flawless on the defensive end in the second quarter, holding Illinois to 0-for-12 shooting while surrendering just one point - the lowest total in a period in the quarter system era. For the half, the Illini hit just 4-of-27 shots from the field, including 0-for-6 from three. The Huskers quickly pushed the lead to 20 points early in the third quarter, and Illinois was never able to cut the margin to single digits.

Game Highlights: Taylor Kissinger scored 18 points and hit four three-pointers off the bench, but No. 11 Maryland outlasted Nebraska 64-57 in a battle of the Big Ten’s top two teams in the conference standings. The Huskers held Maryland more than 20 points below its season scoring average, but a tough Terp defense and a massive Maryland effort on the boards helped the visitors escape with a victory. Nebraska trailed by just two late in the first half before a Channise Lewis three-pointer sent the Terps to halftime with a 27-22 edge. The Terrapin lead grew to 12 points in the third quarter before the Huskers ground their way back into the game, cutting the margin to 59-54 on a Kissinger threepointer with 58 seconds left. The Terps hit enough free throws down the stretch to seal their 18th win in 19 games. Kaila Charles led Maryland with game highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds, helping the Terps to a plus-20 margin on the boards.

Game Highlights: Nebraska outlasted Wisconsin in a defensive slugfest, rallying from a 46-44 deficit to a 51-48 win in front of a season-high 6,823 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nicea Eliely scored her only points on a traditional three-point play to give Nebraska a 47-46 lead before a driving layup by Taylor Kissinger pushed the lead to 49-46 with 2:54 left. Kissinger finished with 11 points and five rebounds. Marsha Howard, who led all scorers with 23 points for the Badgers, answered with a layup of her own and was fouled, but her free throw was off the mark with 1:37 left, and Nebraska maintained a one-point lead. The Huskers shut out the Badgers the rest of the way, and Maddie Simon sank two huge free throws with three seconds left to seal the win. Simon scored six of her eight points in the fourth quarter, while Kate Cain led the Huskers with 14 points, nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals in a strong all-around effort. NU improved to 9-3 in the Big Ten with the win.

Despite hitting 9-of-15 threes in the first half, the Huskers trailed 40-38 at halftime. However, with the game tied at 44 with 4:59 left in the third quarter, Michigan State Coach Suzy Merchant was assessed a technical for being well out onto the court while play was in progress. Whitish hit two free throws before Taylor Kissinger buried a long three to put the Big Red up 49-44. The five-point possession sparked an 18-6 spurt, including a 7-0 run in the final minute of the quarter to put the Huskers up 62-50 heading to the fourth quarter.

Cain’s 20 boards were a career high and tied for the sixth-most boards by a Husker in school history. The Big Red outrebounded the Lady Lions 60-31 on the night. NU’s plus-29 margin on the glass was the ninth-best total in Husker history. The huge effort on the glass helped the Huskers overcome a season-low 31.7 percent shooting from the field, including a season-worst 10 percent from three-point range. The Huskers also managed just eight assists. But NU’s defense held the Lady Lions to just 28.1 percent shooting, including 19 percent from long range. Maddie Simon led all scorers with 16 points, while Hannah Whitish added nine points, a career-high-tying eight rebounds and a game-high five assists. Janay Morton added nine points off the bench.

Game Highlights: Nebraska rallied from a 14-point third-quarter deficit to take a 75-74 lead with 48 seconds left, but No. 13 Maryland held off the Huskers in the closing seconds for a 77-75 win at the XFINITY Center. Hannah Whitish hit her fourth three of the game with 48 seconds left to cap an impressive comeback, but the Terps answered with three free throws in the next 35 seconds to reclaim a 77-75 lead. In the closing seconds, Whitish got a good look at a three from the right wing, but her shot caught back iron and caromed off to allow the Terps to escape. Nebraska overcame adversity throughout. The Huskers were without reserve post Darrien Washington (shoulder) and reserve point guard Bria Stallworth (ankle) because of minor injuries. Reserve guard Taylor Kissinger suffered an injury late in the first quarter and did not return. Kate Cain was whistled for her third foul early in the second quarter, while Jasmine Cincore picked up two fouls early as well. Maryland led by 14 in the second quarter before NU rallied. The Terps rebuilt a 57-43 lead with 4:48 left in the third before NU stormed back.

CAREER (2015-18)
Emily Wood closed her four-year career by totaling 212 points, 96 rebounds and 57 assists in 91 career games with three starts. Statistics tell only a small part of Wood's impact on the Husker program. The former walkon helped lead Nebraska to one of the nation's top turnarounds as a senior, capping her career in the NCAA Tournament against Arizona State. A senior captain, Wood was named Nebraska's Lifter of the Year, earned the team's Husker Award for the second straight year and claimed Nebraska's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award for women's basketball for the second consecutive season. A three-time academic All-Big Ten selection, Wood earned her bachelor's degree as a managment major in just three years. She was on track to earn her MBA from Nebraska in August of 2018, while pursuing jobs on a collegiate coaching staff. Wood was one of Nebraska's most dedicated student-athletes to community service during her time in Lincoln.
Wood played 2017-18 as a graduate student for the Huskers. The 5-5 guard from Salina, Kan., enjoyed her best season, averaging 3.9 points and 1.6 rebounds. She had a career-high 19 points with a career-high five threes against Washington State (Dec. 22). She led the Big Ten with her 48.1 threepoint percentage in non-conference play. Her 33 threes were nine more than the 24 she hit in her first three seasons. Wood scored in double digits for the first time with 12 points on four threes in a win over Arkansas Pine Bluff (Dec. 2) when she played a career-high 29 minutes. She scored double figures in back-to-back games with 19 points against WSU and 11 points in a win over Florida Atlantic (Dec. 19). Wood hit a pair of big threes while adding two rebounds and an assist in 18 minutes in a road win at Kansas (Dec. 6).

She saw her most meaningful action in NU's win over Bakersfield (Dec. 13), when she scored her only points on a reverse layup in transition to end an eight-minute scoreless drought in the first half. Wood's bucket sparked an 18-0 Husker run. She also grabbed a season-high two rebounds in a season-high nine minutes against the Roadrunners.

Nebraska drew its first sellout crowd for women's basketball with 13,595 fans at the Devaney Center on Feb. 27, 2010. The Huskers, who drew 10 straight crowds of more than 10,000 fans to close 2010, defeated Missouri 67-51.
HUSKERS CELEBRATED FINAL SEASON AT DEVANEY IN 2012-13 NEBRASKA FACED UTAH AT DEVANEY ON NOV. 23, 2014
For 37 seasons (1976-2013) the Nebraska women's basketball team called the Bob Devaney Sports Center home. In 2013-14, the Huskers made a successful move into Pinnacle Bank Arena, tying the school record with 16 home victories while ranking No. 8 nationally in total attendance (110,892). Nebraska made its regular-season debut at the 15,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena with a resounding 77-49 victory over Pac-12 power UCLA on Nov. 8, 2013. Little more than a year later, the Huskers returned to their old home court to face another Pac-12 foe, when Nebraska defeated Utah, 66-43, at the Devaney Center on Nov. 23, 2014. The game against the Utes was the first played by the Huskers on their old home court since the Devaney Center was completely renovated for volleyball prior to the 2013 season. In Nebraska's final season of women's basketball at the Devaney Center (2012-13), the building featured a seating capacity of 13,595. The nearly $20 million in renovations at the Devaney Center reduced capacity to 7,907 with standing room approaching nearly 8,500. The Husker volleyball program led the nation in home attendance in 2013 with 8,175 fans per match. The renovations to the Devaney Center continued with significant upgrades to the outside of the building in 2014. Inside, ceiling trusses have been added to provide an historic feel, while five luxurious suites and large new 10MM video screens have been installed to help create an electric atmosphere. Although the Huskers no longer compete at the Devaney Center as their permanent home, the team's impressive practice facility, the Hendricks Training Complex, is attached to the Devaney Center. Not only do the Huskers continue to utilize the Devaney Center for summer camps, the building also serves as a host site, along with Pinnacle Bank Arena, for the Nebraska Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments. Named after Nebraska Hall of Fame football coach and athletic director Bob Devaney (1962-93), the Devaney Center opened in the fall of 1976 and is located on NU's Innovation Campus (formerly the Nebraska State Fairgrounds). The building currently houses Nebraska's volleyball, track, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics teams. In 2009-10, Nebraska ranked seventh nationally with a school-record average home attendance of 7,390 fans per game. The Huskers also led the Big 12 in league games only by averaging 11,383 fans per contest, including seven consecutive crowds of more than 10,000 fans to close the season. NU sold out the Devaney Center for women's basketball with 13,595 on hand for a win over Missouri on Feb. 27, 2010. The Huskers have regularly ranked among the top 30 teams in average attendance, including 16th in 2012-13.

2018-19 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
HUSKERS GROW TRADITION WITH WILLIAMS By Mike Babcock & Jeff Griesch "This team of Huskers likes to practice. And they say practice makes perfect. And now they are. Perfect regular season! Perfect regular season! Nebraska finishes the regular season perfect - 29-0!" As those words boomed from the voice of Husker playby-play announcer Matt Coatney, the Huskers completed the first unbeaten regular season by a Big 12 men's or women's basketball team in history in 2009-10. Nebraska's win came with more than 2,000 Big Red fans on hand at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan., on a day that All-American Kelsey Griffin erupted for a career-high 36 points on 15-of-19 shooting from the field in an 82-72 win over the Wildcats on March 6, 2010. For Griffin and the Huskers, it was another step in a history-making season that left the Nebraska record book in turmoil and the Husker Nation in a fan frenzy. The win over Kansas State also capped a perfect 16-0 conference campaign that gave the Huskers their first-ever Big 12 crown. Nebraska clinched that title at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla., as the No. 3 Huskers ran past No. 11 and defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma, 80-64 on Feb. 24. Griffin, the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, dominated the Sooners as well, pouring in 30 points while pulling down 13 rebounds, as NU improved to 13-0 in league play. Nebraska returned home to power past Missouri, 67-51, as Griffin led the Huskers with 19 points and career highs of 17 rebounds and five blocked shots. Following the game, the first-ever sellout crowd of 13,595 fans at the Devaney Center stayed to witness the presentation of the Big 12 regular-season trophy and a netcutting ceremony on the Huskers' homecourt. After the ceremony, Griffin and the Huskers signed autographs for nearly 1,000 fans until almost midnight in the hallway near the locker room. "We were sorry to keep them waiting so long, and we just couldn't stop signing," Griffin said. "Our fans have been awesome and it was an amazing night. We wanted to celebrate with them and send them home happy." Griffin and the 2010 Huskers sent the fans home happy one more time on Senior Night with a 77-52 win over Kansas to complete a perfect 16-0 home campaign. Griffin and fellow first-team All-Big 12 selections Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner, along with seniors Kala Kuhlmann, Nicole Neals and Nikki Bober were honored as the largest and most successful senior class in school history. More than 12,000 fans were on hand for their finale, the seventh consecutive crowd exceeding 10,000 to end the season - matching the total number of crowds of greater than 10,000 in the previous 35 seasons of Nebraska women's basketball. The Huskers stretched their school-record winning streak to 30 games before falling in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals to No. 11 Texas A&M. At 30-1, the Huskers earned the first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in school history, before beating Northern Iowa and UCLA at Williams Arena in Minneapolis to advance to the program's first NCAA Sweet 16. Nebraska's breakthrough 32-2 season ended with a loss to No. 19 Kentucky at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. But the loss did not define the 2010 Huskers or their impact on Nebraska women's basketball. In the locker room in the moments following the loss, Coach Connie Yori focused on the history and memories her team made. "In the years to come when we look back on this year, we are going to remember everything that we accomplished," Yori said. "But you all know I've said this all along, when you look back on your time at Nebraska, you won't remember the wins and losses. You are going to remember all the great times you had with your teammates on and off the court." Nebraska's focus on team chemistry, love and respect for one another, character, effort and mental toughness, allowed the Huskers to succeed at the highest levels of any team in school history. Nebraska's first winner of the Senior CLASS Award in
Amy Williams was named Nebraska's 10th women's basketball coach on April 11, 2016. A four-year letterwinner at Nebraska (Amy Gusso, 1995-98), Williams was the Summit League Coach of the Year at South Dakota in 2015 and 2016. She was the Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Nebraska to the 2018 NCAA Tournament. any sport, Griffin produced one of the best senior seasons in school history by averaging 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. She led an unprecedented hardware haul by Husker players by being named a first-team All-American by the WBCA, AP, USBWA and the Wooden Award. A Wade and Naismith Trophy and Wooden Award finalist, Griffin was a three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection. She was joined by Montgomery and Turner on the first team, while Dominique Kelley earned honorablemention accolades and Lindsey Moore was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Griffin and Turner were both named to the league's five-player All-Defensive Team, while Turner was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. The Huskers continued to make history after the season ended, as Griffin was chosen as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Selected by the Minnesota Lynx and then traded to the Connecticut Sun, Griffin became the highest Husker draft pick in history. A little more than one hour later, Montgomery joined Griffin as the first pick of the third round with the No. 25 overall pick to the New York Liberty. "It was truly a special season - a season that we will all remember for the rest of our lives," Yori said. "This was the hardest working team and the best practicing team I have ever coached, and the results were obvious. This team deserved every win and every award it received." Yori was named the WBCA, AP, USBWA, Naismith and Kay Yow National Coach of the Year. She also earned Big 12 Coach of the Year honors. She added Big Ten Coach-ofthe-Year honors in 2013 and 2014. In 2014, Nebraska captured its first-ever conference tournament title by winning the Big Ten crown at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Jordan Hooper, who replaced Griffin in Nebraska's starting lineup, earned Big Ten Player-of-the-Year honors and first-team WBCA All-America accolades - just like her predecessor. Hooper, a 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., tied Griffin's school record with 40 double-doubles and was named a first-team Senior CLASS All-American. A tremendous outside shooter, Hooper also smashed NU's three-point record with 295 in her career. She averaged 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game to lead the Huskers to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In 2013, Hooper helped the Big Red to their second NCAA Sweet 16, after leading NU to an NCAA Tournament bid in 2012. In her final three seasons,
Hooper's Husker teams averaged 25 wins per season, the best three-year stretch in Nebraska history. Hooper went on to be the No. 13 overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. Hooper's selection, which followed Lindsey Moore's No. 12 pick by the 2013 WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx, gave the Huskers three top-15 WNBA picks and six All-America awards claimed by the Huskers since 2010. Like the 2010 team, the 2014 Huskers featured All-Big Ten players from top-to-bottom in their starting five. Rachel Theriot earned honorable-mention All-America accolades after being named the Big Ten Tournament MVP and a firstteam All-Big Ten choice. Emily Cady and Tear'a Laudermill added second-team All-Big Ten awards, while Hailie Sample claimed a spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team. Although the Huskers lost Hooper to graduation and Theriot to injury 21 games into the 2014-15 campaign, Nebraska's senior class of Cady, Laudermill, Sample and Brandi Jeffery continued the Huskers' NCAA Tournament tradition. The four seniors became the most successful class in history by becoming the first group of Huskers to advance to four consecutive NCAA tournaments. They also became the first class to produce four straight 20-win seasons on their way to a four-year program record 96 wins. In 2015-16, Yori's 14 seasons at Nebraska came to an end with an 18-13 record that included a trip to the Postseason WNIT. She finished as the winningest coach in Nebraska women's basketball history with 280 victories, averaging 20 wins per season. Yori had come to Nebraska on June 24, 2002. She took over following back-to-back losing seasons under Coach Paul Sanderford, and struggled to an 8-20 mark with only a handful of scholarship players in 2002-03. In her second season, Nebraska improved to 18-12 overall and made its first of seven straight postseason tournament appearances. The Huskers added a postseason trip in 2004-05, despite featuring four first-time starters. Sophomore Kiera Hardy earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, while Jelena Spiric claimed Big 12 Newcomer-of-the-Year accolades. NU was also back in the top 25 in the national attendance rankings, averaging more than 4,000 fans per game. The Huskers also produced the biggest win in school history with a 103-99 triple overtime victory over eventual national champion Baylor at Devaney on Jan. 12. Nebraska made a third straight Postseason WNIT trip in 2005-06, again featuring Hardy as a first-team All-Big 12

BIG RED BUILD TITLE TRADITION IN BIG TEN guard, while adding Big 12 All-Freshman selection Kelsey Griffin at forward. Hardy and Griffin helped the Huskers to a 19-13 mark in 2005-06, but still came up a win or two short of their goal of getting Nebraska back to the Big Dance. That mission was accomplished in 2007, as Hardy earned first-team All-Big 12 honors for the third straight season while shattering NU's career three-point record. Griffin joined Hardy with first-team All-Big 12 accolades, and the Huskers finished with a 22-10 overall record and a trip to the 2007 NCAA Tournament in Raleigh, N.C. The Huskers fell in the first round to Temple, but it set up a repeat trip to the Big Dance in 2008. This time around, the 21-12 Huskers, again led by first-team All-Big 12 forward Griffin, knocked off Xavier in the first round. After picking up just the third NCAA Tournament win in school history, the Huskers battled top-seeded Maryland down to the wire on the Terps' homecourt. Griffin was the only returning starter on the 2008 team, as she was joined by senior Danielle Page, sophomore Yvonne Turner, junior college transfer Tay Hester and freshman Dominique Kelley in the Husker starting five. The Huskers entered 2008-09 with high hopes, but those aspirations were tempered by a preseason foot injury to Griffin. Her injury required a pair of surgeries and she was forced to redshirt. Nebraska's inside depth was further challenged by a season-ending knee injury to Nikki Bober near the end of non-conference play. Starting forward Cory Montgomery played the entire season, but battled multiple injuries that limited her practice time early in the year. Turner also played through a shoulder injury, while Kaitlyn Burke, a part-time starter at shooting guard, struggled with a broken finger on her shooting hand. Despite starting conference play 1-8, the Huskers refused to surrender and closed the Big 12 campaign as one of the league's hottest teams. NU finished the regular season with a 15-14 mark and a 6-10 Big 12 record to secure a seventh straight postseason trip. Griffin, Turner, Montgomery and Kelley all returned to the starting lineup in 2009-10, and added Moore, the 2009 Washington High School Player of the Year at the point guard spot. The starting five, along with experienced senior reserves Kala Kuhlmann and Nicole Neals, and juniors Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago gave the Huskers the talent and depth to contend on the national level. After injuries and graduation left the Huskers shorthanded in 2010-11, a young Nebraska squad began a new building process in 2011-12. In the Huskers' first-ever Big Ten Conference season, a roster that featured six freshmen among just 10 active players rolled to the fourth-highest victory total in school history with a 24-9 record. After posting a 10-6 Big Ten regular-season mark, the Huskers stormed to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game before falling in two overtimes to Purdue. The young Huskers advanced to the school's 10th NCAA Tournament after posting nine wins over 2012 NCAA Tournament teams. Not only did the Huskers have to overcome their own inexperience, all five starters overcame injuries to start every game during the season. Hooper became the first sophomore in school history to reach 1,000 career points, while becoming the first NU sophomore to produce 600 points and 300 rebounds in a season. Nebraska's first-ever first-team All-Big Ten selection, Hooper also claimed honorable-mention All-America honors from the AP and the WBCA. A candidate for the Wade and Naismith National Playerof-the-Year awards, Hooper was joined on the Naismith watch list by Moore. The 5-9 junior was also one of eight finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award as the nation's top point guard. A second-team All-Big Ten pick, Moore joined Hooper on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and in Nebraska's 1,000-point club. Cady earned a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman team after producing one of the best rookie seasons in school history. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., joined Sample in becoming the first freshmen in school history to start every game together during their rookie seasons.
All-American Kelsey Griffin earned Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors while leading the Huskers to 30 straight wins and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. She had her jersey retired on Jan. 29, 2014. The duo went on to join Hooper in the starting five for 100 consecutive games in Nebraska's first three seasons of Big Ten play. That trio, along with Nebraska's career assist leader and 2013 honorable-mention All-American Moore, fueled the Huskers to their second NCAA Sweet 16. NU's four returning starters were joined by another Big Ten All-Freshman selection, Rachel Theriot, in powering the Huskers to a 25-9 record and a 12-4 Big Ten mark. The Huskers played for a share of the Big Ten regularseason title in the final home game at the Devaney Center. Although they came up short, the Huskers went on to defeat Chattanooga, 73-59 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at College Station, Texas. Two nights later, the sixth-seeded Huskers pulled one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, knocking off SEC Tournament champion and No. 9 ranked Texas A&M, 74-63, on the Aggies' homecourt at Reed Arena. Moore closed her amazing career with her fifth doubledouble, producing 20 points and 10 assists. Sample made a triumphant return to her home state with 10 points and 11 rebounds to add her first career double-double. Moore, who led NU to three NCAA tournaments including a pair of Sweet 16 bids, started more games (132) and played more minutes (4,360) than any player in school history. She also set the school record with 699 career assists, while adding 1,673 points. Hooper was the lone senior on NU's 2013-14 squad, but she was joined by juniors Cady, Sample and Laudermill, and sophomore honorable-mention All-America point guard Theriot in the starting five. The 2014 Huskers finished with a 26-7 overall record for the second-best winning percentage in school history,

while adding a 12-4 Big Ten mark. NU played for a share of the Big Ten regular-season title again on the final day of the season, but came up short at Purdue. After having a nine-game conference winning streak snapped in West Lafayette, the Huskers rallied for three straight convincing wins over Minnesota, No. 19 Michigan State and No. 23 Iowa at the Big Ten Tournament. After earning their first-ever NCAA Tournament automatic bid, the Huskers claimed a No. 4 seed and defeated Fresno State, 74-55, at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. NU moved one game away from a chance to compete as a host in the NCAA Sweet 16 in its new Pinnacle Bank Arena, but came up short in an 80-74 loss to BYU. The Cougars joined 2014 NCAA champion Connecticut, Texas A&M and DePaul for the NCAA Lincoln Regional in 2014 - the first NCAA Tournament basketball games in Lincoln since 1993. Nearly 17,000 fans watched the three games in Lincoln, leading UConn Coach Geno Auriemma to acknowledge and praise the rise of women's basketball at Nebraska. "Everybody's heard about the crowds here, the facilities here. Everything that's going on here. Every day's been great. The people are phenomenal. The building is spectacular. This is really, really, really nice. There's no doubt in my mind there will be another regional here, no question. Most places are fans of their team, not necessarily fans of the game. Here I think they take tremendous pride in their team, their school and the community, and they showed it." The move into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln brought even more excitement to Husker basketball. The $179 million arena held a schoolrecord-tying 16 home wins in 2013-14, along with the 11th-highest average home attendance (6,161) in NCAA

2018-19 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
HUSKERS BUILD POSTSEASON TRADITION women's basketball. Nebraska's total attendance of more than 110,000 ranked eighth nationally and was the secondbest total in school history, trailing only the 2010 season. The Big Red attracted more than 6,000 fans per game to Pinnacle Bank Arena again in 2014-15, and have ranked among the top 10 nationally in total attendance in each of the Huskers' first three seasons in the new building. The current atmosphere is a far cry from its humble beginnings on the UNL campus. In March of 1898, a university women's team played a game against an outside opponent for the first time. The opposition was provided by a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The contest was played at the Nebraska armory, Grant Memorial Hall. Among the matters to be resolved before the game was whether men's rules or those of Smith College should apply. In 1894, only three years after Dr. James Naismith established the rules for basketball, Senda Berenson, director of physical education at Smith College in Massachusetts, modified Naismith's game for women. In contrast to the Nebraska team, the captain of which was graduate student Louise Pound, the team from Council Bluffs had been playing by the more physical men's rules. A compromise was reached. The first half would by played by men's rules, the second by Smith College rules. The teams played six on a side: two centers, two guards and two forwards. Pound played center. Another issue was whether men should be allowed to attend. Administrators decided that any "gentleman'' accompanied by a "lady'' would be admitted, but single men might be prohibited lest the game attract the wrong kind of audience. The unflattering bloomers women wore in gym classes were regarded as inappropriate dress for mixed company, regardless of the circumstances. As a result, intramural track and field competition involving women was held indoors until 1904.
Early basketball games involving the university women were well-attended, and there was "always a goodly surplus in the treasury,'' according to the Nebraska State Journal. The gymnasium was filled well in advance of the game's start. The Council Bluffs team, made up of girls who were "slighter of build and younger,'' proved to be no match for Pound and her university teammates. Pound, who also was the first all-university tennis champion, accounted for three field goals and five free throws in a 15-7 win. The play of Nebraska's Harriet Cooke and Marie Beach drew mention in newspaper accounts. Cooke, like Pound, played center and accounted for Nebraska's other points. Beach was a guard, along with Marie Kennedy. The Council Bluffs forwards were much shorter and had difficulty passing the ball over Beach and Kennedy to their centers, who were responsible for scoring goals. Bertha du Teil and Helen Welch were Nebraska's forwards. Rose Long was a substitute. Basketball was introduced in the university's physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896. As was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other. The first all-university women's team was organized in 1896, according to the Nebraska State Journal. It included the best players regardless of their class, among them Welch, the only player from that first team who participated in the contest against the Council Bluffs team in March of 1898. Welch and her five teammates were "trained'' by Anne Louise Barr and played other inter-class teams. The first women's game played before an audience was part of NU's sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke's "Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,'' published in the spring 1975 issue of Nebraska History.
Karen Jennings earned the 1993 Wade Trophy and was Nebraska's first first-team AllAmerican. Jennings was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year for women's basketball and was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 2008.
Pound was the driving force in women's basketball at the university, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was a member of the team in the 1898-99 school year. It didn't play any opponents from outside of the university and very few intramural opponents, for that matter, because a large pipe organ donated by an alumni group was stored in the gym. In April of 1901, the university sponsored a women's state tournament under Pound's direction at Grant Hall. Nebraska was represented by a first and second team in a field that included teams from the Omaha YWCA, Lincoln High and Wahoo High. The university's first team, led by captain Eleanore Miller, won the two-day competition. In November of 1901, Nebraska played a team from the University of Missouri at Grant Hall, "the first intercollegiate match for girls ever played in the west,'' according to the Nebraska State Journal. Missouri was no match for its experienced opponent. Miller, who was still on the varsity team, had been succeeded as captain by Hannah Pillsbury. Nebraska won 31-4. The varsity team had yet to lose in its brief history. Nebraska's varsity team didn't play against outside competition again until 1903, when it defeated the Omaha YWCA in Omaha 18-9 and a team from the Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kan., 42-8. The University second team also played that day, defeating Baker University, 22-1. Efforts were being made to encourage intercollegiate competition for women, according to the Nebraska student yearbook for 1902, The Sombrero. The next university yearbook, published two years later, noted that women's basketball was experiencing dramatic growth. In 1904, Nebraska suffered its first defeat, losing to the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis after opening an abbreviated schedule by shutting out the Lincoln YWCA 16-0. NU avenged the loss two weeks later in Lincoln. Nebraska was 3-0 in 1905, against the Haskell Indian School, Missouri and the Omaha YWCA, the last two games on the road. The season was short but successful, the student yearbook noted: "Owing to an inability to schedule games with desirable teams, only three games were played.'' In 1907, no women's varsity team was picked. In March of 1908, Nebraska played games against Minnesota, home-and-home, two weeks apart. Nebraska lost them both, 9-3 and 28-22, after a five-minute overtime. Earlier, NU had defeated a team from Nebraska Wesleyan to finish its final season with a 1-2 record. Despite their remarkable success, the university women were allowed to play basketball only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908. In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the Board of Regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. More than 60 years passed before the University sponsored women's teams. Women's club teams were formed beginning in 1970. In 1974-75, such a team coached by Jan Callahan won nine of 16 games. Only three of the games were against opponents from outside the state. The team played on the small court in Mabel Lee Hall, which was named for the women's physical education director from 1924 to 1952. A typical audience might be 30, mostly friends and relatives of the players. The modern era of women's basketball at Nebraska more accurately dates from 1975, with the arrival of Aleen Swofford as women's athletic director and the offering of scholarships. The total budget for women's athletics was less than $40,000. George Nicodemus, an Iowa native who had directed John F. Kennedy College in Wahoo, Neb., to a pair of AAU women's national titles, succeeded Callahan as volunteer coach of NU's fledgling program in 1975. With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot11, Nicodemus produced a 22-9 record in his first season. The Huskers finished third in the Big Eight Tournament in Manhattan, Kan., in February of 1976. They won the state collegiate tournament held at Midland College in Fremont, Neb.; lost in the second round of an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) regional tournament in Fargo, N.D.; and finished by winning two

consolation games at the National Women's Invitational Tournament at Amarillo, Texas. "We are only a couple of tall girls away from winning a national championship,'' Nicodemus said after his first year. Nicodemus, whose duties also included the softball program, became a paid coach his second season at Nebraska, receiving an annual salary of $12,000. The Huskers finished 20-14 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 loss at Nebraska-Omaha in the first round of the state tournament. The UNO game was Nicodemus' last as NU's coach. Dr. June Davis, who had served for two years as women's sports information director at the university, succeeded Swofford as women's athletic director and set about replacing Nicodemus. He passed away on Sept. 3, 2016, at the age of 92. Davis hired Marcia Walker, who had spent two years at Dakota Wesleyan. Walker announced she would resign with about a third of a 12-14 season remaining. The team would have four more coaches in the next nine years, including Lorrie Gallagher, Colleen Matsuhara, Kelly Hill and Angela Beck, who finally brought stability to the program in 1986. Gallagher followed Walker and coached two 20-win seasons, both of which earned the Huskers AIAW regional tournament berths. The first of Matsuhara's three teams advanced to an AIAW regional, making it three in a row. NU would have only one winning season in the next five. The Huskers lost nearly twice as often as they won during the next two years, which preceded the promotion of Dr. Barbara Hibner to women's athletic director and Beck's arrival from Bradley. Among the dominant Nebraska players of the late 1970s and early 1980s were 1,000-point career-scorers Jan Crouch, Diane DelVigna, Janet Smith, Kathy Hagerstrom, Cathy Owen, Debra Powell, Stacy Imming and Angie Miller. Powell finished her four-year career in 1984-85 with 1,843 points. Powell was the first Husker to earn first-team All-Big Eight honors, earning the award as a junior. DelVigna was the most prolific of the eight scorers, averaging 19.1 points per game during her two seasons at NU. Smith, who played on the three consecutive AIAW regional qualifiers coached by Gallagher and Matsuhara, pulled down a school-record 1,280 rebounds and scored 1,284 points. The 29-year-old Beck, a native of Decatur, Ill., had been an All-American at Millikan, an NCAA Division III school in her hometown. Beck inherited two players who helped the Huskers make history by capturing their first Big Eight regular-season title, the best record in school history and the first NCAA Tournament bid in 1988. The two players, both Nebraskans, were Maurtice Ivy and Amy Stephens. The 5-foot-9 Ivy joined the Huskers in 1984, after a remarkable career at Omaha Central. She was a three-time Super-State basketball player and was chosen by the Lincoln Journal Star as the state's outstanding female high school athlete for 1984. Stephens arrived a year later from Alliance, Neb., where she enjoyed a high school career as much publicized as that of Ivy. Both were prolific scorers. Ivy was the first player to score 2,000 career points at Nebraska. She reached that total, appropriately enough, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on "Maurtice Ivy Night'' in February of 1988. Mayor Bernie Simon had declared Feb. 17, "Maurtice Ivy Day'' in Omaha. A proclamation to that effect was read before the game against Kansas. Ivy received a plaque from Omaha's Lewis and Clark Junior High, and her high school coach announced that her No. 22 jersey was being retired by Omaha Central. Proving her sense of the dramatic was as keen as her shooting eye, Ivy hit a free throw with 23 seconds left for point No. 2,001. That point also secured what would be a 76-72 victory. Ivy hit three more free throws before game's end. The win was crucial to Nebraska winning the conference crown and earning an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. The season and Ivy's Nebraska career ended at 22-7 with a 100-82 loss at USC in the first round of the regional at Los Angeles. Ivy was chosen as the 1988 Big Eight Player of the Year. Beck was the conference coach of the year, and Kim
Jordan Hooper earned first-team WBCA AllAmerica honors after being named the 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year. Hooper was a starter on the USA Basketball World University Games Team that won gold in Russia in 2013. Harris, a transfer from Bradley, earned Big Eight Newcomerof-the-Year honors. Ivy, whose career point total reached 2,131, was named to the Big Eight's all-decade women's basketball team for the 1980s. Stephens, who finished just 24 points shy of 2,000, received honorable mention on the all-decade team. Karen Jennings was recruited from Persia, Iowa, in 1989, after playing six-on-six, half-court basketball at TriCenter High School in Neola, Iowa, where she averaged an astonishing 59 points per game as a senior. Jennings adapted quickly to five-on-five basketball, leading the Huskers to back-to-back 20-win seasons as a junior and senior. She was voted the Big Eight Player of the Year both seasons, and in 1992-93, after Nebraska earned an NCAA regional bid, was chosen a first-team WBCA All-American. Nebraska finished second in the Big Eight, then lost to Kansas 64-60 in the conference championship game at Salina, Kan., to enter NCAA play with a 22-7 record. The Huskers defeated San Diego in Lincoln, 81-58, before losing to USC, 78-60, in Los Angeles. During a ceremony at halftime of a victory against Iowa State at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in January of 1995, Karen Jennings' No. 51 jersey was retired. Jennings was the first woman basketball player in the history of the University of Nebraska to be so honored. Given Jennings' accomplishments in four seasons as a Husker, the honor was a slam dunk. She was the first woman in school history to be chosen as a first-team basketball All-American. She was awarded the Margaret Wade Trophy after her senior season. Wade was the first women's coach to be inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The trophy named in her honor is presented annually by the WBCA to the women's collegiate player voted to be the nation's best. Jennings twice was honored as the Big Eight Conference Player of the Year. She finished as Nebraska's career scoring leader and the second-leading scorer in conference history.

She was first-team all-conference three times, and she led the Huskers to the NCAA Tournament in 1993. Jennings distinguished herself in the classroom as well. She was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American. She earned Big Eight and NCAA post-graduate scholarships, and her academic success, combined with her athletic accomplishments, earned her recognition as the Big Eight Female Athlete of the Year in 1993. Jennings continued to thrive following her tremendous athletic and academic accomplishments at Nebraska. After a successful career as a physical therapist, she changed gears and thrived in the real estate business in Omaha. Along the way, she contributed thousands of hours of community service and began to raise a family. For her success as a collegiate student-athlete and her accomplishments after her career, Jennings was honored with induction into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in the summer of 2008. Described as "the best of the best of the best" by longtime CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame spokesman and award-winning broadcaster Dick Enberg, fewer than 200 student-athletes all-time, across all-sports have been honored with Hall of Fame induction. She also was selected to the inaugural class of the University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015. Beck, who added a freshman walk-on from Spearfish, S.D., named Amy Gusso to her 1994-95 roster, coached Nebraska to the 1996 NCAA Tournament before leaving for the fledgling (and now defunct) American Basketball League after the 1996-97 season. Beck was replaced by Paul Sanderford, who had taken Western Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament 12 times in 15 years as a coach. His Hilltoppers advanced to the semifinals three times and lost in the 1992 title game. The 1997-98 squad led by Anna DeForge included fellow senior Gusso and tied then-school records for wins (23) and conference victories (11) and advanced to an NCAA sub-regional at Norfolk, Va., where it defeated New Mexico before bowing out against perennial power Old Dominion. In 1998-99, the Nicole Kubik-led Huskers finished 21-12 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, losing to Kentucky 98-92. In 1999-2000, the Huskers achieved another school first by advancing to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament, while Kubik capped her career by finishing as the school's No. 7 all-time scorer while ranking in the top 20 in NCAA Division I history with 418 career steals. Kubik joined fellow seniors Brooke Schwartz and Charlie Rogers in becoming the first Nebraska natives from the same recruiting class to all score 1,000 points. Keeping the best of Nebraska's players at home has continued. Yvonne Turner, the 2006 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, finished her NU career with 1,101 points, while becoming just the sixth guard in Husker history with more than 1,000 points, 200 assists and 200 steals. Dominique Kelley, the 2007 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, joined Turner in the 1,000-point club one year later. Jordan Hooper was the 2008 and 2010 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, and finished her Husker career No. 2 in points (2,357) and rebounds (1,110). Emily Cady became the 13th native Nebraskan in NU's 1,000-point club and closed her outstanding four-year career with 1,461 points, 1,114 rebounds and 305 assists as one of the most versatile players in school history. The Huskers began a new chapter in their women's basketball history with the return of Coach Amy Williams in 2016-17. A hard-working former Husker who earned back-to-back Summit League Coach-of-the-Year honors at the University of South Dakota in 2015 and 2016, Williams led the Huskers through the first year of a substantial rebuilding project in 2016-17. In her second season at Nebraska, Williams captured Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors by leading the nation's top turnaround while guiding the Huskers to their 14th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. As the popularity of women's basketball at Nebraska continues to grow, the Huskers are confident that the best in the growing tradition of Big Red basketball is yet to come.

The 6-2 forward from Persia, Iowa, was a fouryear starter and led Nebraska to the second round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament. The first Husker to have her jersey retired, Jennings' No. 51 was retired in 1994 and formally put on display at the Devaney Center in 2006. A giant banner displaying her name and No. 51 are now on permanent display alongside Maurtice Ivy's No. 30 and Kelsey Griffin's No. 23 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
In March of 2015, she was named to the inaugural class of the University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame - one of 22 athletes across all sports. Jennings was one of the top student-athletes in NU history. She captured CoSIDA Academic All-American-of-the-Year honors in 1992 and 1993, while claiming CoSIDA First-Team Academic AllAmerica honors three times (1991, 1992, 1993). A two-time Big Eight Conference Player of the Year (1992, 1993) and a three-time first-team all-conference pick, Jennings was the Big Eight Newcomer of the Year in 1990. The captain of Nebraska's All-Century Team announced in February of 2000, Jennings closed her career as the first player in school history to score more than 2,000 points and record 1,000 rebounds. Jennings was also chosen as one of 25 Women of Distinction honored during the Nebraska Athletic Department's Silver Anniversary celebration of 25 years of women's athletics at NU in 1999-2000. Jennings averaged 20.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in her career, while ranking first in points (2,405). She also ranks fifth in career rebounds (1,000), first in field goals made (981), second in field-goal percentage (.568), third in field goals attempted (1,726), tied for fourth in free throws attempted (570) and fifth in free throws made (426). Jennings' 810 points and 25.3 points per game average in 1991-92 rank as the top single-season totals in school history, while her 10.0 rebounds per game allowed her to average a doubledouble as a junior. She also owns NU's single-game scoring mark with 48 points in an 87-82 win at Kansas State on Jan. 21, 1992. In her freshman season, the Huskers struggled to a 10-18 overall record, but with Jennings as a nucleus, NU improved to 17-11 the next season. She set the Husker sophomore record for scoring average at 20.5 points per game (574 points). NU continued to improve in Jennings' record-setting junior campaign, posting a 21-11 mark and advancing to the National Women's Invitational Tournament. In her final season, Jennings helped Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament win in history with 14 points and eight rebounds in an 81-58 win over San Diego at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on March 17, 1993.

Following a career in physical therapy, Jennings became a highly successful real estate agent in Omaha.

The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., not only finished in a tie for No. 4 in Big Ten Conference history in three-pointers made, she was also one of only two players in Big Ten history to achieve the combined milestones of 2,300 points and 1,100 rebounds. She was the first Husker to ever accomplish that feat. Hooper, who tied Kelsey Griffin's school record with 40 career double-doubles, became Nebraska's first Big Ten Player of the Year in 2014, joining Griffin
(Big 12, 2010), Karen Jennings (Big Eight, 1993) and Maurtice Ivy (Big Eight, 1988) as the only Huskers to claim conference player-of-the-year awards. As a senior, Hooper became the third first-team All-American in Nebraska history, joining fellow 2,000-point scorers Jennings (1993) and Griffin (2010). A standout on the court, in the classroom and in the community, Hooper was one of five Senior CLASS Award first-team All-Americans. She was a secondteam All-American by the Associated Press before being selected by Tulsa with the No. 13 pick in the WNBA Draft. Hooper led the Big Red to the most successful three-year stretch in school history. NU finished with a 26-7 overall record during Hooper's senior season. The Huskers played for a share of the regular-season Big Ten title in the final game of the year for the second straight season before settling for third with a 12-4 league mark in 2013-14. NU played for a share of the regular-season crown on the way to a 25-9 mark and a 12-4 league mark in 2012-13. As a sophomore, Hooper helped the Huskers to a 24-9 mark and a trip to the Big Ten Tournament title game. After coming up short in those first three championship game appearances, Hooper and the Huskers claimed Nebraska's first-ever conference tournament title with a 72-65 win over Iowa on March 9, 2014, in Indianapolis. Hooper also led the Big Red to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2012 through 2014, including the school's second NCAA Sweet 16 bid in 2013. The 2013 and 2014 Huskers also became the first teams in NU history to win NCAA Tournament games in consecutive seasons. Overall, Nebraska averaged 25 wins per season in Hooper's last three years. Prior to her arrival as a two-time Nebraska Gatorade High School Player of the Year (2008, 2010), only one Husker team had ever won more than 23 games in a season. A three-time All-American by both the WBCA and the Associated Press, Hooper was a three-time candidate for the Wade and Naismith trophies. She was a finalist for the Wade and Wooden awards in 2014. She was a three-time first-team All-Big Ten choice and a two-time Big Ten All-Tournament selection. Hooper was also a three-time academic All-Big Ten selection and NU's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner in 2014. As a senior, Hooper averaged 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds to push her career averages to 18.0 points and 8.5 boards per game. She started all 131 games of her career to rank third in NU history, while becoming one of just three Huskers to play 4,000 career minutes.

Ivy produced one of the greatest performances in Husker history when she erupted for 46 points in Nebraska's 100-87 loss to Illinois at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif., on Dec. 30, 1986. It was one of eight 30-point scoring efforts in Ivy's career, including a pair of 35-point performances against Oklahoma and Kansas in 1987. She added the eighth-best rebound total in school history with 19 boards to go along with 23 points in a 104-63 win over Brigham Young at the Illinois Invitational in Champaign, Ill., on Dec. 14, 1985.
