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. Questions and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests

DEFINITIONS

Q: What is a booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a studentathlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTEREST (I.E. BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete? A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. 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

guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Q: What is Recruiting? A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.

GUIDELINES

Q: Who is a Booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a studentathlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster? A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at Nebraska must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage Nebraska attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect's educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend Nebraska; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend Nebraska; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the Nebraska campus for an official or unofficial visit. RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; accept employment from more than one employer and earn unlimited income; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a studentathlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a

13 ALL-TIME NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES

"special" arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan. EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12 Q: What are non-permissible benefits?

Only benefits authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a "special" arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan). BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16 Q: What types of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate? A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event. Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible? A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product.

SCHEDULE NOTES

2017-18 SCHEDULE SHOWCASES POWER FIVE FOES AT PBA

Nebraska's home schedule once again features a laundry list of teams from Power Five conferences on the hardwood at Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2017-18. Nebraska's 16-game regular-season home schedule includes showdowns with Arkansas (SEC, Nov. 16), Clemson (ACC, Nov. 30) and Washington State (Pac-12, Dec. 22) during non-conference play. The Huskers also will face in-state rival Creighton (BIG EAST, Nov. 19) at Pinnacle Bank Arena in between home games with the Razorbacks and Tigers. Soon after closing non-conference play at home against Washington State, the Huskers will tip off their eightgame home conference schedule against defending Big Ten regular-season co-champion Ohio State on Dec. 28. The game against the Buckeyes will be followed by Big Ten home contests against Michigan (Jan. 13), Iowa (Jan. 16), Purdue (Jan. 24), Illinois (Feb. 1), Maryland (Feb. 4), Wisconsin (Feb. 11) and Penn State (Feb. 22). Overall, eight of Nebraska's 16 regular-season home games will come against teams that advanced to postseason play in 2016-17.

FAMILIAR FACES FILL NEBRASKA'S PRE-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

Some familiar faces will be featured on Nebraska's schedule prior to the tip off of Big Ten Conference play in 2017-18. The old connections begin with Nebraska's exhibition game against Minnesota State-Mankato at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday, Nov. 5. The NCAA Division II Mavericks are coached by Emily (Gusso) Thiesse, the younger sister of Nebraska head coach Amy (Gusso) Williams. Thiesse also played collegiately at UNK. Nebraska's connections with Creighton are always close, but this season's match-up on Nov. 19 at Pinnacle Bank Arena will feature another pair of sisters with Husker Taylor Kissinger facing off with Bluejay Brooke Kissinger. Kansas provides another familiar set of faces to the Husker schedule. The game against the Jayhawks in Lawrence will be Nebraska's first regular-season game against Kansas (or any other current member of the old Big 12) since the Huskers joined the Big Ten in 201112. NU did face KU in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, and former Big 12 partners Texas A&M (2013 NCAA Tournament) and Missouri (2016 Preseason WNIT).

JOIN US AT PINNACLE BANK ARENA

Nebraska has provided one of the nation's top tickets and best atmospheres for women's basketball in its first four seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers ranked 17th nationally with an average home attendance of 4,712 in 2016-17.

2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

HUSKERS READY TO START CLIMB IN 2018; The Nebraska women's basketball team laid the foundation for growth in Coach Amy Williams' first season with the Huskers in 2016-17. Now the Big Red are ready to see some improved performance on the court. Nebraska has plenty of room to climb after tying for 11th in the 14-team Big Ten Conference last season and finishing with a 7-22 record. Although Nebraska must overcome the loss of a 2016-17 starting frontcourt that combined for 25.5 points and 15.1 rebounds per game while starting every contest last season, Williams and the Huskers are optimistic. While the frontcourt took heavy losses, the starting backcourt returns intact and adds a pair of experienced Division I transfers and two talented freshmen. "This past offseason provided us a great opportunity to make big strides with our team's strength and conditioning, as well as needed skill development," Williams said. "A couple of big home wins toward the end of last season provided some very good motivation and something to build on throughout the offseason. We are eager for the 2017-18 season, and we expect progress and growth for our program." Nebraska's growth in the backcourt is expected to start with sophomore Hannah Whitish. The 5-9 guard from Barneveld, Wis., is the Big Red's top returning scorer after averaging 9.0 points per game a year ago. Whitish, who started every Big Ten game for Nebraska, averaged 11.1 points in conference play, while shooting a sizzling 41.8 percent (38-91) from three-point range. She was also Nebraska's top playmaker, averaging 3.7 assists in Big Ten action. Whitish's play blossomed throughout the season, as she produced double figures in each of Nebraska's last four games including a career-high 24-point performance in an overtime upset of NCAA Tournament-bound Michigan State on Feb. 26, 2017. Whitish knocked down 5-of-8 three-pointers against the Spartans while adding five rebounds and five assists in 44 minutes of work. "It was a pleasure to watch Hannah's growth throughout her freshman year, and she has continued that growth into the offseason," Williams said. "She made significant gains in the weight room, and she is carrying herself with more confidence. We are excited about the leadership she is displaying." Fellow sophomore Nicea Eliely is expected to rejoin Whitish as a returning starter in the backcourt. Eliely, a 6-1 wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., started all 29 games for the Huskers as a true freshman, averaging 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a team-leading 1.6 steals per game. Eliely was Nebraska's top defender throughout her freshman season, and with a year of experience under her belt, the Huskers expect to see even better defensive play from the long, athletic wing. She added strength during the offseason and also improved her skill level at the offensive end to give herself more options in not only scoring but also creating opportunities for her teammates. "Nicea had a good offseason and went to work on several areas of her game," Williams said. "She has the capabilities of bringing more production in multiple areas, and we are looking for a big sophomore season from her." However, Eliely suffered a foot/ankle injury in mid-October that sidelined her late in preseason. She is expected to make a full recovery but she may be slowed or limited by the injury early in the season. A third returning starter offers more experience and versatility to the Big Red backcourt. Senior Jasmine Cincore started every game a year ago and

Sophomore Hannah Whitish is expected to be an offensive catalyst for the Huskers in 2017-18. The 5-9 guard from Barneveld, Wis., set a Nebraska freshman record by knocking down more than 40 percent of her three-pointers in 2016-17. She started every Big Ten game for the Big Red last season. averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest. A solid defender, the 5-10 Cincore also ranked second on the squad with 31 total steals. Nebraska's 2016-17 women's basketball Lifter of the Year, Cincore has the strength to guard larger players inside and could be used in a small forward/ power forward role this season, even though she has experience playing point guard in her career. "Jasmine adds so much to our program on and off the basketball court," Williams said. "She is dependable, consistent, hard-working and she really sets the tone for our team, particularly on the defensive end. She is poised to be a key piece of our team in her senior year." Nebraska gains even more experience, depth and leadership from senior contributor Emily Wood. The 5-5 guard from Salina, Kan., originally came to Nebraska as a walk-on before earning a scholarship in her first season. Arguably Nebraska's hardest worker on the court, Wood's gritty determination and countless hours in the gym have allowed her to increase her skill level exponentially over the past few seasons. Last season, Wood averaged 2.1 points and 0.9 rebounds in just under 10 minutes per game while playing in all 29 contests. Despite the increased competition for playing time in the backcourt this season, Wood gladly accepted the role of pushing herself and her teammates by putting in a huge summer in the gym and the weight room. She also completed her bachelor's degree in management from Nebraska in just three seasons and is pushing herself to complete her MBA from Nebraska in 2018. "Emily Wood has all the characteristics we look for in a Husker," Williams said. "She is selfless, hardworking, smart, gritty and tough. She does everything you are supposed to do when no one is watching. She works diligently, not just to make herself a better player, but to impact our team culture in a positive manner." While Whitish, Eliely, Cincore and Wood give the Big Red more than 2,500 returning minutes from last

season's backcourt, Nebraska's most experienced Division I player is Husker newcomer Janay Morton. The 5-10 guard from Brooklyn Park, Minn., was a three-year starter at Eastern Michigan before transferring to Nebraska prior to the start of the 2016-17 season. Morton spent a year practicing in Nebraska's system while redshirting because of NCAA transfer rules. Morton gained a level of comfort and confidence in the system last year, but hit a speed bump during the summer with a foot injury. She underwent surgery in late-September of 2017, but was expected to return to action for the start of the regular season. She may be slowed somewhat in non-conference play while she returns to full health. Morton is a proven performer. She earned AllMAC honors as a junior and was a member of the 2016 MAC All-Defensive Team. In three seasons at Eastern Michigan, Morton totaled 1,341 points, 359 rebounds, 249 assists and 223 steals, while averaging nearly 1,000 minutes per season. "Janay is very hungry heading into her senior season, after sitting out last year due to NCAA transfer rules, and then being limited this preseason by injury," Williams said. "Once healthy and back in the groove, she is capable of being an explosive guard who can make things happen on either end of the court." Another Division I transfer, Bria Stallworth could make a significant impact for the Huskers this season. The 5-6 sophomore from Chicago sat out alongside Morton because of NCAA transfer rules last season. Stallworth, who earned a spot on the Atlantic-10 All-Rookie Team as a true freshman in 2015-16, is a quick, play-marking guard who can also defend and score. In fact, she led all A-10 freshman by averaging 13.2 points per game at UMass in 2015-16. She hit 35.7 percent of her three-point attempts and 81.8 percent of her free throws while playing nearly 1,000 minutes in her only season at UMass. "Bria is able to push tempo and create plays with penetration, while providing an additional threat from the perimeter," Williams said. "We

SOPHOMORES COULD SPARK HUSKER RISE will be looking for Bria to become more consistent as she learns our system and progresses into her sophomore season." A third newcomer to the Nebraska backcourt in 2017-18 is true freshman Taylor Kissinger. The 6-1 guard/forward from Minden, Neb., was one of the top three-point shooters in the nation coming out of high school and was ranked among the nation's top 50 overall players. The four-time all-state selection for the Whippets had both her junior and senior seasons of high school cut short by hand/arm injuries. Kissinger has had an excellent summer and has progressed quickly in Nebraska's program, gaining strength and making an impact in practice. “Taylor is an offensive threat who possesses the unique talent of having a quick release and depth on her perimeter shot," Williams said. ”Due to her high basketball IQ, she has been picking things up very quickly and is already playing with great confidence." Kissinger is expected to see time at the wing position, but could also provide size and rebounding in a small forward/power forward role, if necessary. With depth and experience creating a positive for the Nebraska backcourt, Maddie Simon is expected to focus her attention on the power forward position. The 6-2 junior out of Lincoln Pius X High School has been a significant contributor in the Nebraska backcourt the past two seasons, including a starting role down the stretch in the regular season as a freshman in 2015-16. Through two seasons, she has averaged 4.5 points and 1.9 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game. With the loss of Nebraska's starting frontcourt, and inexperience and injuries challenging the inside game, Simon could step into a more prominent role. "After shifting back and forth between the wing and forward spots last year, Maddie has been able to focus on the forward position heading into this season," Williams said. "She is athletic and strong, and her work in the offseason has her playing with more confidence as she heads into this year." Another young power forward for the Huskers who could find a greater role than a year ago is Grace Mitchell. The 6-2 sophomore from Wellington, Kan., played in all 29 games and averaged nearly 11 minutes per contest. Mitchell, who is a strong, hard-working athlete, averaged 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds last season and hit 40 percent (4-10) of her three-pointers. “Grace embraced the challenge of being asked to switch positions last year and spent the offseason becoming more and more comfortable with that switch," Williams said. ”She is a workhorse in the weight room and is not afraid to mix it up with bigger players. We will rely on her to help our rebounding efforts this year." The Huskers are hopeful for the return of Rachel Blackburn inside to bolster them at both ends of the court. The 6-3 forward from Leavenworth, Kan., was a starter early in her freshman season of 2015-16, before succumbing to severe knee pain. Blackburn redshirted after having multiple knee surgeries last season and was extremely limited for nearly a full year. Blackburn has been slowly progressing during preseason practice and her workload has been increasing as weeks have passed. In the first nine games of her career, Blackburn averaged 6.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while providing suffocating defense at the rim. Blackburn's intelligence in defensive rotation could take pressure off her teammates and help a Husker defense that surrendered a staggering 76.3 points per game last season, including 80.4 points per night in Big Ten play.

"Rachel brings a lot to our team because she is a high IQ basketball player who possesses the gritty toughness we are looking to instill in our program," Williams said. "As she gradually works back into practices and games, she is showing great leadership, both verbally and by example." Nebraska's lone returning post player from a year ago, Darrien Washington, returns for her fourth season as a Husker in 2017-18. The 6-2 junior from Oakland, Calif., averaged 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12 minutes per contest last season while playing in 23 games. Washington is a big, strong traditional post player who has improved her conditioning during the offseason and is ready to play a larger role, if needed. "Darrien's commitment to her strength and conditioning in this offseason has paid off so far in practice, as she is having more of an impact on both ends," Williams said. "We will need Darrien to set the tone with our rebounding efforts and play with confidence and consistency all year." The newest addition to Nebraska's post game is freshman Kate Cain. The 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., decided to join the Huskers on June 23, 2017, after originally signing her National Letter of Intent with Delaware. After a coaching change at Delaware, Cain reopened her recruitment and the No. 82 player in the nation, according to ESPN, landed in Lincoln. Cain, whose parents were both outstanding Division I players on the East Coast, could bring an immediate defensive presence to the Huskers while also providing some scoring punch on the block. "Our coaching staff has been very impressed with how quickly Kate has been learning our system," Williams said. "Her soft touch and skill set will allow her to contribute right away offensively, and her size will help provide some protection around the rim on the defensive end." Nebraska will be challenged by a strong schedule, but it should be a bit more manageable than the

suffocating schedule the Huskers faced a year ago. The Husker schedule features non-conference home games against Power Five conference teams Arkansas (SEC, Nov. 16), Clemson (ACC, Nov. 30) and Washington State (Pac-12, Dec. 22) at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers also clash with in-state rival Creighton (BIG EAST, Nov. 19), along with other nonconference home contests against SIU Edwardsville (Nov. 11), UMKC (Nov. 14), Arkansas Pine Bluff (Dec. 2) and Florida Atlantic (Dec. 19). The Big Red's non-conference road schedule starts with the San Juan Shootout, which will be played in Daytona Beach, Fla., in a move from Puerto Rico that followed the devastation of Hurricane Maria. The Huskers take on Buffalo (Nov. 23) and Coastal Carolina (Nov. 24) at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. NU returns to road action against Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse (Dec. 6), before battling Drake in Des Moines (Dec. 9). The Huskers close road non-conference play at San Jose State (Dec. 17). Nebraska opens Big Ten play against defending conference co-champion Ohio State (Dec. 28), before playing three straight road games at Minnesota (Dec. 31), Northwestern (Jan. 7) and Illinois (Jan. 10). The Huskers return to Pinnacle Bank Arena for back-to-back games against Michigan (Jan. 13) and Iowa (Jan. 16), before heading to Piscataway, N.J., to joust with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (Jan. 21). Nebraska then opens a stretch with four-of-five games at home, starting against Purdue (Jan. 24), before a brief trip to Iowa City to complete the season series with the Hawkeyes (Jan. 28). Home games against Illinois (Feb. 1), Maryland (Feb. 4) and Wisconsin (Feb. 11) follow at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Back-to-back road games at Michigan State (Feb. 14) and Indiana (Feb. 17) will set up Senior Night against Penn State (Feb. 22) at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers close the regular season on the road at defending Big Ten champion Maryland (Feb. 25), before the Big Ten Tournament returns to Indianapolis (Feb. 28-March 4).

Nicea Eliely returns as one of the Big Ten's top perimeter defenders in 2017-18. The 6-1 sophomore wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., started every game for the Huskers as a true freshman. 13 ALL-TIME NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES

2017-18 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 121 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 regulation of James E. Delany Commissioner intercollegiate athletics. 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 beginning 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.

2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

WELCOME TO NEBRASKA Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's steadiest and most successful programs on the court, in the classroom and in the community over the last 20 years. During that 20-year span, which dates to first-year Coach Amy Williams' playing career at Nebraska, the Huskers have advanced to postseason play 14 times, including 10 trips to the NCAA Tournament. Since 2010, Nebraska has made five NCAA Tournament appearances, including two trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 (2010, 2013). The Huskers have also finished among the top 25 in the final national rankings four times, while posting the four highest victory totals in school history (2010-32, 2012-24, 2013-25, 2014-26). Over the past eight seasons, Nebraska has played five games for a conference title, winning a Big Ten Tournament crown in 2014 and a Big 12 regularseason championship in 2010. The Huskers, who moved into a spacious practice home at the Hendricks Training Complex in the fall of 2011, built more excitement by adding Pinnacle Bank Arena as their new home court in 2013-14. The Big Red have ranked among the nation's top 20 in attendance in each of their first four seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena, averaging more than 90,000 fans per season. Individually, Kelsey Griffin, Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper were chosen among the top 15 players in their respective WNBA Drafts, while Hooper and Griffin earned first-team All-America honors for the Huskers. Huskers have earned 21 All-Big Ten awards in Nebraska's first six seasons in the Big Ten Conference, including 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year Jordan Hooper and 2014 Big Ten Tournament MVP Rachel Theriot.

HOME OF THE HUSKERS Nebraska's rise to prominence in women's basketball has been built on the foundation of hardworking players who have put their talents together to form tremendous team chemistry. Chelsea Aubry, the captain of the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team, laid the groundwork for Nebraska's success during the last decade. Aubry, a 6-2 forward from Kitchener, Ontario, spent eight seasons as a professional. Danielle Page, a 6-2 forward from Monument, Colo., followed. A bronze medalist as a starter for the Serbian Olympic Team in 2016, Page enters her 10th season of professional basketball in 2017-18. Kelsey Griffin came next, setting the standard for future Huskers. The 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, was a first-team All-American and National Player-of-the-Year finalist in 2010. The three-time first-team all-conference pick powered Nebraska's run to a perfect regular season, a Big 12 title and a No. 1 seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Nebraska's first Senior CLASS Award winner was also NU's Female Student-Athlete of the Year. She went on to be the No. 3 pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft and earned WNBA All-Rookie honors. She enters her ninth season in professional basketball in 2017-18. Nebraska's 2010 NCAA Sweet 16 team included seniors Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner. Both went on to pro careers. Turner enters her ninth season in professional basketball in 2017-18. The youngster on the 2010 team, point guard Lindsey Moore, added to the Husker legacy by leading the program to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 before claiming a first-round pick in the WNBA Draft. In 2013-14, three-time All-American and Big Ten Player of the Year Jordan Hooper continued to lead Nebraska's rise on the national scale. Hooper was the first pick in the second round of the 2014 WNBA Draft and recently completed her fourth season in the WNBA in 2017.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not be more excited to be back at the University of Nebraska. It's a great day, just like any day, to be a Husker. â&#x20AC;? Amy Williams, Nebraska Head Coach

NCAA EXCITEMENT Nebraska has earned 12 postseason tournament berths since 2004, including seven NCAA Tournament bids in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In 2010, Nebraska claimed its first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed, as the top team in the Midwest Region. The Huskers advanced to the NCAA Regional semifinals at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., by defeating Northern Iowa and UCLA in Minneapolis, Minn. Thousands of Big Red fans followed Nebraska to Minneapolis and Kansas City to support the Huskers in their first NCAA Sweet 16 trip. Nebraska has made 13 NCAA Tournament trips since 1988 (1988, 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) and owns eight NCAA Tournament victories, including a 74-54 win over Fresno State in 2014.

In May of 2017, 22 student-athletes traveled to Nicaragua as part of the NoFilter program to serve abroad with Seeds of Learning, a nonprofit organization that helps to create educational opportunities in rural Latin America. Over the course of one week, these Huskers experienced a new culture, created new friendships and relationships, and most importantly, helped build additional classrooms for a school in the town of Villa Japón.

In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences, including the Big Ten, govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing unmatched benefits and support to studentathletes. However, this change in governance, and subsequent legislation, paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for student-athletes. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: • All scholarship student-athletes across all sports have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. • Each student-athlete is offered an Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities. • Nebraska has increased resources and support in all academic and performance related areas including but not limited to Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory, Nutrition and Dining Services (Training Table) and Sports Analytics. • Nebraska created the first-known Post-Eligibility Opportunity (PEO) program, where every student-athlete graduate who has exhausted their athletic eligibility has the opportunity to pursue (with Nebraska support) an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school at UNL or UNMC.

BILL MOOS

Athletic Director First Season Washington State (1973)

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." 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 stateof-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 all-conference 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 Pac10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an allinclusive 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 allconference 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 All-Star 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. 14th Year Kansas State (1984)

A member of Nebraska's administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as Executive Associate Athletic Director for Development. Boehm oversees Development and all Fundraising initiatives at Nebraska. Recently, he has developed key philanthropic programs in support of the Student-Athlete Experience Fund. His responsibilities also include the direct oversight, strategic planning, policy development, budget and personnel management of the men’s and women’s basketball programs; development/fundraising; event management; parking and guest services. He also serves as the Athletic Department’s liaison to the NU Foundation and Pinnacle Bank Arena. He is also responsible for coordinating all staff, and department-head team meetings. Boehm, who previously oversaw the efforts of the facilities, marketing, media relations and HuskerVision areas within the athletic department, played a primary role in negotiations for Nebraska's contract extension with

IMG College Sports. To date, it is the largest multi-media rights contract in college athletics. Boehm also 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. It was the fifth postseason trip for the men's basketball program since Boehm's arrival. NU ranked 13th nationally in average home attendance (15,419) on its way to a top-four finish with an 11-7 record in the powerful Big Ten, while going 19-13 overall. Under Boehm's supervision, the Nebraska women's basketball program has enjoyed the most success stretch in school history, earning six 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 six years. The Big Red have finished the season ranked in the top 25 in four of the past six 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. 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. Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers' basketball program with the men's team posting backto-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

OUTLOOK (2017-18)

Maddie Simon hopes to fully transition from the backcourt to the frontcourt for the Huskers in 2017-18. Simon played a role on the wing for the Huskers for most of her first two seasons at Nebraska, but began to shift into more of a power forward role late in her sophomore season.

Grace Mitchell was a regular contributor in Nebraska's playing rotation as a true freshman in 2016-17. Now, the 6-2 sophomore forward from Wellington, Kan., could play an expanded role. Mitchell, who averaged 11 minutes per game while playing in all 29 contests as a freshman, will be counted on for improved defense and greater offensive production in Nebraska's frontcourt rotation this season. Along with excellent size and strength at the forward spot, Mitchell has the ability to extend a defense with her shooting range. Last season, she hit 4-of-10 shots from three-point range. “Grace embraced the challenge of being asked to switch positions last year and spent the offseason becoming more and more comfortable with that switch," Williams said. ”She is a workhorse in the weight room and is not afraid to mix it up with bigger players. We will rely on her to help our rebounding efforts this year."

Kissinger, who was hindered by arm/wrist injuries in both her junior and senior seasons of high school, has had an outstanding summer and fall of workouts for the Huskers. An outstanding long-range shooter, Kissinger also has the size to defend on the wing or on the block. Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said the consistent shooting ability, outstanding range and Kissinger's basketball intelligence would help the Huskers in the future. “Taylor is an offensive threat who possesses the unique talent of having a quick release and depth on her perimeter shot," Williams said. ”Due to her high basketball IQ, she has been picking things up very quickly and is already playing with great confidence."

SEASON REVIEW

2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

HUSKERS BEGIN REBUILDING UNDER WILLIAMS The Nebraska women's basketball team opened a new era with the first season for Head Coach Amy Williams in 2016-17. The Huskers were challenged by injuries, an inexperienced roster and a rugged non-conference schedule. Despite struggling to a 7-22 overall record during the season, the Huskers stayed with the process and continued to grow throughout the season. By the end of the regular season, the Huskers were clearly playing their best basketball, knocking off a pair of top-60 RPI teams - Michigan State and Indiana - at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nebraska, which managed a 3-13 Big Ten Conference record, closed the regular season with a thrilling 76-74 overtime victory over NCAA Tournament-bound Michigan State on Feb. 26. The win for the Huskers over the Spartans avenged a 20-point loss at Michigan State on Jan. 7, a testament to Nebraska's growth and improvement during the season. "Obviously, we would have liked to find a few more 'W's' during the course of the season, but sometimes the building process and the growth process take time," Williams said. "We had some young players in our program really start to buy in, and you saw them grow throughout the season. That is exciting for the future of our program, but we know we still have lots of growing to do." A key to that growth came with the emergence of guard Hannah Whitish. The 5-9 freshman from Barneveld, Wis., erupted for a career-high 24 points to go along with five rebounds, five assists against just one turnover, and added a steal in the win over the Spartans. Whitish hit 9-of-13 shots from the floor while playing a career-high 44 minutes in the victory. She also knocked down a career-high five three-pointers on just eight attempts. Whitish's late-season efficiency and the continued growth of fellow freshman Nicea Eliely gave the Huskers plenty of reasons for hope for the future under Coach Williams. Whitish also played a starring role in Nebraska's 67-64 win over Indiana on Feb. 19. In fact, Whitish captured Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week honors after pouring in a team-high 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the victory over the Hoosiers. Whitish drilled 4-of-6 three-pointers against an Indiana team that won more than 20 games and finished fourth in the final Big Ten standings. She added six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Eliely also played a tremendous all-around game for the Huskers against Indiana. The 6-1 freshman from Colorado Springs, Colo., scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-4 threepointers, while matching her career high with six assists. Eliely did not commit a turnover and came up with three big steals and a block for the Big Red against the Hoosiers. Nebraska's freshman duo combined for 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting, to go along with 10 assists and five steals, providing the firepower at both ends to hold off the Hoosiers. The efficiency of Whitish and Eliely became a common theme down the stretch for the Huskers. Although Nebraska's season ended with a loss to Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament, Whitish and Eliely combined for outstanding performances. Whitish led the Huskers with 16 points on 6-of11 shooting, including 4-of-7 threes. She also set a career high with nine assists while adding five rebounds and a steal in 39 minutes. Eliely added 14 points, a career-high-tying six assists, five rebounds and a pair of steals in 37 minutes. Eliely also hit a career-best four three-pointers on eight attempts. Overall, the two freshmen teamed up for 30 points on 11-of-22 shooting, including 8-of-15 from

Nicea Eliely started all 29 games for Nebraska as a true freshman in 2016-17. The 6-1 wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., led the Huskers in steals (46), blocked shots (21) and field goal percentage on the season. She scored in double figures eight times, including four times in Nebraska's last six games. long range, while dishing out 15 assists, grabbing 10 rebounds and coming away with three steals. During the last quarter of Nebraska's 29-game season, Whitish and Eliely combined to average 22.4 points per game, while shooting 45.8 percent from the field including a sizzling 47.7 percent (3267) from three-point range. They also combined for 55 assists while committing just 27 turnovers, a better than 2-to-1 assist turnover ratio for freshman guards in the Big Ten. They also combined for 17 of Nebraska's 35 steals during the seven-game stretch. "We really had to lean on Hannah and Nicea down the stretch to give us a chance to win basketball games - much more than we would have liked," Williams said. "They both made freshman mistakes throughout the year, but those mistakes were reduced late in the season because of their commitment to our process. We are certainly excited about the future for those young players at both ends of the court." Whitish finished second among the Huskers in scoring with 9.0 points per game, including 11.1 points in Big Ten play. Over the season's last seven games, Whitish averaged 14.0 points per game. For the season, Whitish set the Nebraska freshman record by hitting 40.7 percent of her three-point attempts while leading Nebraska with 57 three-pointers. She also led the Huskers with 3.7 assists while starting all 16 Big Ten Conference contests. Whitish also ranked second on the team with 21 steals in conference play, trailing only Eliely's 25. Eliely finished third on the team with 7.7 points per game for the year. She started all 29 games as a freshman, joining senior Allie Havers, junior Jasmine Cincore and sophomore Jessica Shepard in the Husker starting five for every game.

Eliely's scoring dipped slightly in Big Ten play, but over the final seven games of the season, she averaged 8.4 rebounds per contest. In addition to leading the team with 46 steals on the year, Eliely led the Big Red with 21 blocked shots from her wing position. She also ranked second on the team with 2.6 assists per game. Her 43.5 field goal percentage also led the Huskers. While Eliely and Whitish showed their growth throughout the season, Cincore also showed her comfort level with Nebraska's new system as the season progressed. In her first season as a full-time starter, Cincore averaged 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Over the final eight games of the year, those numbers increased to 8.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists for Cincore. The 5-10 guard from Arlington, Tenn., also committed just nine turnovers while dishing out 19 assists over the final eight games of the season. Cincore earned Nebraska's Kathy Branchaud Most Improved Rebounder Award at the end of the season, and she was named the team's Lifter of the Year. She also claimed her second consecutive academic All-Big Ten honor, while earning a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for the third straight season. Cincore's progression also set the stage for her to take more of a leadership role alongside fellow junior Emily Wood for the 2017-18 season. Wood, a 5-5 guard from Salina, Kan., continued to be one of Nebraska's hardest workers on and off the court. Wood played in all 29 games for the Huskers and averaged 2.1 points per game. Originally a walk-on, Wood has continued to increase her own speed of play throughout her career. Coupled with her relentlessness to get extra

ELIELY, WHITISH EMERGE, IMPROVE AS FRESHMEN shooting on her own in the gym, Wood helped the Huskers set the physical and mental tone every day. A two-time academic All-Big Ten choice, Wood was a CoSIDA Academic All-America nominee for the Huskers in 2016-17 after posting better than a 3.9 grade-point average. A Big Ten Distinguished Scholar for the second time, Wood was also named one of Nebraska's Outstanding Scholars before earning her bachelor's degree in May of 2017 - just three years after arriving in Lincoln. A three-time member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team and a Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership Award winner in 2016, Wood was also a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner in 2017. She also claimed Nebraska's Teammate Award. Wood and Cincore will be counted on to help lead the Huskers forward in 2017-18, following the graduations of 2016-17 seniors Allie Havers and Esther Ramacieri. Havers, who spent her second season as a starter in 2016-17, ranked fourth among the Huskers with 6.9 points per game, while ranking second on the squad with 5.3 rebounds per contest. Havers, who played a key role as a freshman in helping the Huskers win the 2014 Big Ten Tournament title, battled a nagging knee injury to start all 29 games as a senior. Her perseverance was rewarded late in the season with Nebraska's 76-74 win over Michigan State. The 6-5 center from Mattawan, Mich., had eight points, seven rebounds and three assists against her home state team on Senior Day at Pinnacle Bank Arena. A week earlier in Nebraska's 67-64 win over Indiana, Havers added 13 points, eight rebounds and two assists. She scored NU's final four points of the game in the closing seconds to seal the victory over the Hoosiers. Ramacieri battled a foot injury throughout the year. The Canadian started Nebraska's first 12 games, before injury sidelined her for the start of conference play. She gave way to Whitish in the NU starting five but returned to play 11 more games in a limited role the rest of the season. Sophomore post players Rachel Blackburn and Darrien Washington also were sidelined by injuries in 2016-17. Blackburn, a 6-3 starter as a freshman, missed the entire season as a redshirt after undergoing two surgeries on each knee during the offseason. Washington appeared in Nebraska's first 22 games in the rotation behind Havers and Shepard, before suffering a knee injury at the end of January. She missed all but one game the rest of the way with the injury. The 6-2 forward averaged 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game on the year. Nebraska's thin frontcourt placed a heavy load on Shepard. The 2016 Big Ten Freshman of the Year put forth a productive sophomore season, averaging 18.6 points and 9.8 rebounds. Shepard earned second-team All-Big Ten honors after putting up 15 double-doubles, including a seasonhigh 32 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Michigan State to close the regular season. While Shepard's production was nearly identical to her freshman averages of 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds, her efficiency suffered. The 6-4 forward from Fremont, Neb., hit just 40.8 percent of her field goal attempts for the season, which ranked fourth among Nebraska's starters. She did expand her game beyond the three-point line as a sophomore, where she hit 28 threes and shot 31.5 percent on the season, but she committed 102 turnovers while coming up with just 15 steals and seven blocks on the year. She also ranked 10th among the Huskers with her 55.7 free throw percentage.

Over the final seven games, Shepard maintained her productivity at 18.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, but shot just 39 percent from the floor and averaged nearly four turnovers per contest. Following the season, Shepard made the decision to transfer after amassing 1,112 points and 550 rebounds in two seasons in Lincoln. Her former high school teammate, Rylie Cascio Jensen, also elected to transfer. The walk-on from Fremont averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 assists per game. Another Nebraska native seemed to find her niche late in the season. Maddie Simon, a 6-2 sophomore made the move from wing to power forward midway through the season. Over the season's final six games, Simon averaged 3.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13.3 minutes per game. While Simon's per40-minute averages of 11.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists were impressive, perhaps the best numbers were her 9-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in the season's final six games. The 2015 Nebraska High School Player of the Year struggled to take care of the ball much of the early part of the season, committing 41 turnovers and dishing out 15 assists in NU's first 23 games. An extremely hard worker in and out of practice, Simon also earned academic All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore and claimed her second straight appearance on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. She was also honored as a member of the Sam Foltz Hero 27 Leadership Team. Freshman Grace Mitchell also provided the Huskers with steady contributions throughout her first season. The 6-2 forward from Wellington, Kan., managed 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field, including 40 percent (4-10) from three-point range. Mitchell and Cascio Jensen both played in all 29 games for the Huskers.

Nebraska's young players had to overcome a daunting schedule that ranked No. 27 nationally at the end of the season. NU's non-conference strength of schedule was ranked No. 8 nationally, and featured No. 1 UConn, and NCAA Tournament qualifiers Missouri, California, Drake and Creighton. Nebraska's non-conference schedule also included WNIT champion Washington State and Mountain West Conference regular-season champion Colorado State. The Huskers opened the season with a 71-53 win over UTRGV in the first round of the Preseason WNIT on Nov. 12. After a setback to No. 25 Missouri, the Huskers rebounded with a 62-59 victory over Colorado State in Lincoln on Nov. 17. Nebraska improved to 3-1 with a 66-58 victory over Omaha at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Nov. 22. The Huskers closed non-conference play with a 4-8 mark that included an 83-61 win over San Jose State (Dec. 9) and eight losses to teams that earned postseason tournament berths. The Big Red helped Williams claim her first Big Ten Conference coaching victory with a 62-58 win over Rutgers on Jan. 10. That win came after the Huskers opened conference play with narrow losses to Northwestern (62-58) and at Iowa (75-72) to open league play. Nebraska struggled through the rest of January, before forcing overtime at home in a loss to Minnesota to open February. The Huskers closed February with a pair of home wins over Indiana (Feb. 19) and Michigan State (Feb. 26). Through the season, Nebraska's fans continued to provide remarkable support. The Huskers ranked 17th nationally with 4,712 fans per game, marking the fourth straight season at Pinnacle Bank Arena that the Huskers ranked among the top 20 nationally in attendance.

Hannah Whitish emerged as a true freshman in the backcourt for the Big Red. The former Wisconsin High School Player of the Year set the Nebraska freshman three-point percentage record (.407) while leading the Huskers with 57 three-pointers on the season. She also led NU with 85 assists on the year.

However, the Huskers answered with a 6-0 surge late in the game to close within 58-55 in the final period. Nebraska’s defense held the much more experienced Wildcats without a field goal for the final 6:46, but could not muster enough offense to pull the upset. Forward Nia Coffey led the Wildcats with 22 points, including a pair of big three-point plays early in the fourth to help the Cats build a nine-point lead. Point guard Ashley Deary added 11 points and six assists. Deary hit a pair of free throws with 20 seconds left, while Christen Inman added two more free throws seconds later to seal Northwestern’s win.

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.

2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

HUSKERS ENTER NEW ERA 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, 6751, 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 net-cutting 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.

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 won Summit League Coach-of-the-Year honors at South Dakota in 2015 and 2016. Nebraska's first winner of the Senior CLASS Award in 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 firstteam 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 AllAmerica 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 20win 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

BIG RED BUILD TITLE TRADITION IN BIG TEN in 2005-06, again featuring Hardy as a first-team All-Big 12 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 AllAmerica honors from the AP and the WBCA. A candidate for the Wade and Naismith National Player-of-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. Griffin had her Nebraska 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 women's basketball. Nebraska's total attendance of more

HUSKERS BUILD POSTSEASON TRADITION 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. 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

Karen Jennings earned the 1993 Wade Trophy and was Nebraska's first first-team All-American. Also a tremendous student, 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.

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.

ALL-AMERICANS CALL NEBRASKA HOME "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 Harris, a transfer from Bradley, earned Big Eight Newcomer-of-the-Year honors.

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 Women's World University Games Team that won gold in Russia in 2013. 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-toback 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. As she enters her second season at Nebraska with a more athletic lineup poised to play a faster paced style of basketball, Williams and the Huskers are focused on the future while remembering the proud tradition of the players who came before them. 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 AllAmerican-of-the-Year honors in 1992 and 1993, while claiming CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-America 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 fieldgoal 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 double-double 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 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.

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 twotime 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. The first pick of the second round of the 2014 WNBA Draft by Tulsa, Hooper averaged 5.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game as a rookie, before helping the Shock to the playoffs in her second WNBA season. She played for the Dallas Wings in 2016, before splitting time with Connecticut, Atlanta and Chicago in 2017.
