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ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution.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

"special" arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan. EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12 Q: What are non-permissible benefits? A: Free or reduced-fee housing/rent including the use of vacation or seasonal homes; free or reducedfee meals; loans or cash advances in pay or salary; tuition costs or school supply expenses; gifts or presents of any type regardless of the occasion or purpose; use of telephone for long distance or use of telephone cards and cell phones; free use of any motor vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle; free use of services (i.e., automobile repair, hair care, laundry, copying, faxing, etc.); free or reduced-fee memberships at golf courses, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete.

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?

Schedule Notes

Huskers to Play 20 at Pinnacle

For the second time in three seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the Huskers will make 20 appearances on their home court. Nebraska will play an 18-game regular-season schedule in 2015-16, after playing a pair of exhibition games in early November. NU's home schedule features a clash with NC State in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Dec. 3, before taking part in an annual in-state showdown with Creighton on Dec. 6. The Huskers will also face a tough test against a talented and experienced Arkansas State squad on Dec. 21. The Big Red open their nine-game home Big Ten schedule against Iowa on New Year's Eve. The Huskers play Big Ten home games against Illinois (Jan. 10), Rutgers (Jan. 16), Wisconsin (Jan. 27), Penn State (Feb. 2), Michigan State (Feb. 14), Purdue (Feb. 20 or 21), Indiana (Feb. 24) and Northwestern (Feb. 28).

Huskers Home Early, Back Late

In a pair of unusual scheduling circumstances, Nebraska will play 11 of its first 13 games at home this season, including its two exhibition games. From Halloween through New Year's Eve, the Huskers will only venture from Lincoln to face UConn (Nov. 28) and California (Dec. 12). The tables turn on the Huskers in midseason though, as Nebraska plays eight of 12 games on the road from New Year's Day to Valentine's Day. Included in that road stretch are games with 2015 NCAA Tournament teams Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern and Rutgers. However, the Huskers can look forward to playing four of their final five regular-season games at home, including three straight regular-season home games against conference foes to end the season for the first time in school history.

Big Red Basketball, Always On

For the fifth consecutive season, Nebraska expects to have every one of its games available to fans either on television or through a live video stream. Nebraska's game at UConn will be carried by ESPN3, while its road game at California will be televised by the Pac-12 Network. All of Nebraska's non-conference home games will be available through the BTN Plus or HuskersNside subscription services, while all of its conference games will be on either BTN or BTN Plus.

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 two seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers have ranked 11th nationally in average home attendance, drawing more than 6,000 fans per game.

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Huskers Show Potential in summer Potential. It is one of the best words in sports, and it is definitely echoing in the women's basketball gym at the Hendricks Training Complex this fall. You could almost hear the whisper of "potential" with every swish of a net in the gym during the early summer. It grew louder with every squeak of a shoe and pounding of a ball on Nebraska's pristine floor at the Hendricks Complex. During an excellent summer of training, the word "POTENTIAL" nearly screamed in the weight room with every ringing of a weight returning to a rack. The Huskers got to see some of that potential first hand for themselves on their 12-day trip to Australia in early August. During the four-game tour, sophomore Natalie Romeo, who shot her way onto the Big Ten and national scene late last season, led the Huskers with 19.8 points per game. Fellow sophomore guard Jasmine Cincore, who spent her freshman season waiting in the wings while battling an ankle injury, added 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game against the quartet of Australian professional teams. While those two sophomores shined, freshmen Rachel Blackburn and Maddie Simon made impressive statements of their own. Blackburn, the 6-3 forward out of Leavenworth, Kan., averaged 7.5 points and 6.8 rebounds while playing just over one half per game in Australia. She also shot 65 percent from the field. Simon, a 6-2 guard and 2015 Nebraska High School Player of the Year at Lincoln Pius X, added 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in nearly 30 minutes per contest. The Huskers also received incredible production inside on the Australian tour from Darrien Washington. The 6-2 redshirt freshman forward from Oakland, Calif., averaged 5.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in just 17.3 minutes per game in Australia. Washington's production translates to 12.8 points and 16.8 rebounds per 40 minutes. As impressive as the production was from those five players, who have combined to play just 703 minutes of college basketball entering the 2015-16 season, the Huskers also got solid production from junior Allie Havers and senior Anya Kalenta. Havers, a 6-5 center from Mattawan, Mich., averaged 7.0 points and a team-best 10.0 rebounds per game in Australia. Nebraska's most experienced post player, Havers showed her continued improvement while also providing leadership on and off the court for the Big Red during the summer. Kalenta, a 6-3 senior forward from Minsk, Belarus who was an NJCAA All-American in 2013-14, pitched in 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game off the bench in Australia. "We saw some really good things this summer," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "Our players did a great job of improving themselves, and I think we saw that on the floor in Australia. On the court, our players played hard and showed their competitiveness against some really good teams. Off the court, we did not have a single issue while spending every minute together for two weeks in a foreign country. Our team chemistry was really good. I'm excited about our potential this season, but I know we need to stay healthy." While the seven Huskers previously mentioned provided promising contributions in Australia, the three players that give Husker faithful the biggest reasons to shout "POTENTIAL" from the rafters of Pinnacle Bank Arena this fall did not play. Rachel Theriot, an All-America point guard and the 2014 Big Ten Tournament MVP, sat out while

National Player of the Year and Senior Class Award candidate Rachel Theriot returns from injury to lead the Huskers in 2014-15. Theriot hopes to lead Nebraska to its fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance while taking aim at the school's career assist record. continuing to recover from ankle surgery in February. Jessica Shepard, the No. 1 high school post player in the nation coming out of high school and a twotime Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year, continued her recovery from knee surgery in January. Kyndal Clark, the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year who transferred to Nebraska after undergoing season-ending knee surgery early in her senior year at Drake, also continued her road back to the court this summer. Those three players on their own have the potential to turn any good team into a great one. Together, they could form the nucleus of something special happening at Nebraska in 2015-16. Theriot has proven her impact in three seasons as the starting point for three NCAA Tournament teams at Nebraska. The 6-0 senior from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, was one of five preseason All-Big Ten selections last season. She averaged 16.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and a team-best 5.2 assists through the first 21 games of 2014-15. Theriot, who was a starter on Nebraska's 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 team, was shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range and 92.6 percent from the free throw line before suffering an ankle injury in practice on Feb. 3. At the time, Nebraska was 17-4 and ranked No. 15 in the nation after notching wins in seven of its previous eight Big Ten games. Without Theriot, Nebraska's four senior starters who averaged 24 wins per season as the first class in Husker history to advance to four straight NCAA tournaments, dropped three straight close games to teams that combined to win seven NCAA Tournament games in 2015. Theriot had proved her late-season leadership as a sophomore when she carried the Huskers to the first conference tournament title in school history as the 2014 Big Ten Tournament MVP. She averaged a record 10.0 assists per game at the tournament. She also helped the Big Red to a first-round NCAA Tournament win over Fresno State in Los Angeles.

She finished with a school-record 234 assists on the year while earning first-team All-Big Ten and Associated Press Honorable-Mention All-America accolades. A preseason candidate for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden awards, Theriot enters her senior season with 1,023 career points and 444 career assists. "Rachel has done a great job in her rehab, and we are excited about helping her have a great senior season," Yori said. "We know how good Rachel has been in her career, and she wants to leave Nebraska with her best season yet." While the impact of a healthy Theriot's return to the Husker lineup is undeniable, the potential longterm influence on Nebraska's success of Shepard's presence could be even greater. The 6-4 forward from Fremont High School was a first-team Parade All-American as a senior in 2015, despite playing just nine games before suffering an ACL tear in her knee on Dec. 29, 2014. A member of the USA Basketball U18 National Team and the No. 3 overall player in ESPN's recruit rankings in 2014, Shepard averaged 33.0 points and 14.3 rebounds in four games at the 2014 Nike Tournament of Champions. She poured in 36 points against national power Long Beach Poly. In her nine games as a senior, Shepard shot 71 percent from the field, including 41 percent from three-point range. Despite missing at least 15 games at the end of her career, Shepard still finished with a Nebraska Class A all-time record 2,227 points. She needed just 16 rebounds to set the Class A record in that category as well, finishing with 1,031 in her career. The four-time first-team All-Nebraska and Super-State selection averaged 30.4 points, 15.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists to help 22-4 Fremont to a 2014 Class A state tournament appearance. The previous year without Shepard, Fremont went 8-16 and scored 803 points for the season. Shepard scored a Class A-record 780 points for the Tigers, breaking

Big Red Shoot for Fifth Straight NCAA Bid the record she set with 664 points the previous season while leading Lincoln Southeast to the Class A state title. "Jess has a rare combination of size, skill, athleticism, versatility and a high basketball IQ," Yori said. "She is a skilled ball-handler who can take defenders to the basket. She has spent most of her high school career being double- and triple-teamed, so she has become an outstanding passer with both vision and poise. What I love most about Jess is that in spite of all of her accolades, she is very humble. She is never satisfied and she is determined to come back even stronger from her injury. That says a lot about her character and competitiveness." The combined impact of Shepard and Theriot as one of the best post-point guard combinations in the country, could lead the Big Red to new heights. Add in the ability of Clark and Romeo to light it up from long range, and Nebraska could put one of the most potent offenses in school history on the floor. Clark, a 5-7 graduate student from Webb City, Mo., averaged 19.3 points per game while knocking down a Missouri Valley Conference record 116 three-pointers as a junior at Drake in 2013-14. She connected on 41.1 percent of her threes on the year, including a scorching 45.5 percent (78-172) in conference play alone. Clark, who transferred to Nebraska after graduating from Drake in May of 2015, scored 1,418 points, while adding 422 rebounds and 270 assists in 98 career games. "We are thrilled to add a player of Kyndal Clark's caliber to our program, even if it is just for one season," Yori said. "We recruited Kyndal out of Webb City High School, and we are excited to finally get a chance to coach her. She is coming off a pretty significant injury, but when she is healthy she is a talented player. She also can add a lot of leadership to our program." Clark played both point and shooting guard at Drake and is an outstanding leader on and off the court, earning a spot on the WBCA All-State Good Works Team in 2015. While Theriot and Clark both hit better than 40 percent of their three-pointers in their last seasons on the court, Romeo connected on 38.5 percent of her three-pointers in her 12 starts as a true freshman a year ago. As a starter last season, Romeo averaged 13.7 points and connected on 3.3 threes per game for the Big Red, including a school-record-tying seven three-points in a second-round Big Ten Tournament victory over Illinois. Romeo, who was one of the nation's top point guards coming out of Carondelet High School in California, joins Theriot and Clark in giving Nebraska three talented shooters and intelligent passers around Shepard - an extraordinarily talented passer in her own right. It is easy to get caught up in Nebraska's potential, but the Huskers know they must temper their enthusiasm and expectations based on health. Last season, Emily Cady, Tear'a Laudermill, Hailie Sample and Brandi Jeffery stayed healthy as seniors, but watched teammates struggle with injuries. Theriot, Romeo, Cincore and Kalenta all missed significant playing time last season with injuries, while Clark and Shepard suffered season-ending injuries on their teams. The Huskers know keeping the 13 players on the roster healthy will be a priority. Despite losing four-year starting forwards Cady and Sample from last year's team, the Huskers expect to be the deepest they have ever been inside in 201516.

Shepard, Blackburn and Washington give Nebraska three talented freshmen inside, while Kalenta, Havers and fifth-year senior Alicia Ostrander add age to Nebraska's youth movement. Ostrander, a 6-3 forward, has spent five seasons on the Nebraska volleyball team. However, she is on basketball scholarship in 2015-16 and eager to supply the Huskers with depth inside. As a high school player, Ostrander was a two-time Nebraska Class C-1 all-state pick at Gordon-Rushville. She grabbed 993 rebounds in her career, including 10 games with 20 or more boards. She set single-game school records with 43 points, 30 rebounds and 15 blocked shots during her career. While Nebraska could be able to go six deep in the post, the Husker backcourt could provide some different looks around Theriot and Romeo. Simon, a 6-2 guard who possesses the tremendous athleticism of a state champion hurdler, gives Nebraska height and length on the perimeter. Simon played all five positions in high school and showed tremendous improvement in all areas of her game throughout high school. While Simon provides the Huskers with length on the perimeter, Cincore can give the Big Red both athleticism and power. A strong player and talented passer, Cincore and Simon will both likely need to grow into roles as defensive stoppers for the Huskers on the wings. Junior guard Esther Ramacieri is a reliable defender and excellent leader and teammate, while sophomore Emily Wood gives the Huskers a steady option at guard. Wood, who joined Nebraska as a walk-on out of Salina Central High School in Kansas, earned a scholarship last season. A heady player with an incredible work ethic and outstanding leadership qualities on and off the court, Wood earned the starting point guard job for the Huskers during their tour of Australia this summer. She averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and

2.0 assists in 26 minutes per game for the Big Red in Australia. "Emily is a mature young woman and we love what she brings to our program on and off the court every day," Yori said. "She is a smart, tough player who pushes all the other players in our program every day. She is a competitive person and completely understands all the roles she can fill to help our team succeed. She is the type of person that every coach loves to have in their program." Nebraska's new-look roster will be challenged by a rugged 11-game non-conference schedule that includes road battles with defending national champion UConn in Hartford (Nov. 28), Pac-12 power California (Dec. 12) and a home clash in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge with NC State (Dec. 3). The Huskers must also overcome tough home tussles with Creighton (Dec. 6) and Arkansas State (Dec. 21) in preparation for an 18-game Big Ten schedule that is loaded from top to bottom. The Big Red open Big Ten play at home against Iowa on Dec. 31. The Hawkeyes advanced to the 2015 NCAA Sweet 16. The Huskers then hit the road for back-to-back games at NCAA Tournament qualifier Northwestern (Jan. 3) and NCAA Women's Final Four participant Maryland (Jan. 7). The games with the Wildcats and Terrapins start a conference stretch where the Huskers play eight of 12 games on the road. If the Big Red can survive the road battles, they will be rewarded by playing four of their final five games of the regular season at home. The home stretch starts with a Valentine's Day clash with Michigan State at Pinnacle Bank Arena, before hitting the road for the last time against a talented Ohio State squad on Feb. 18. Nebraska closes the season with consecutive home games against Purdue (Feb. 20 or 21), Indiana (Feb. 24) and Northwestern (Feb. 28). It will mark the first time in 20 years the Huskers have ended the season with three straight home games.

Nebraska freshmen Jessica Shepard (32), Rachel Blackburn (43) and Maddie Simon (24) are all hoping to make an instant impact on a young Husker team in 2015-16.

2015-16 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 120 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, James E. Delany Northwestern and Wisconsin set out to organize and develop Commissioner principles for the regulation of 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 two 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 Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) in 1958. The CIC was formed as an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities and founding conference member Chicago. In 2013, the 15 schools currently constituting the CIC produced over $10 billion in funded research, $4 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

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. 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. 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. In the fall of 2013, the Big Ten opened a new conference headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. The newly constructed building is located 10 minutes from O’Hare Airport and accommodates more than 350 meetings annually for Big Ten and CIC-related committees and coaches groups. The new headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience. 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.

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

WELCOME TO NEBRASKA Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's best programs under Coach Connie Yori. The Huskers have made 11 postseason trips since 2004, including NCAA Sweet 16 bids in 2010 and 2013. Over the last six years, Nebraska has averaged 24 wins and ranks in the top 25 nationally in winning percentage, while earning final top-25 rankings four times. Over the past six 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 new 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 for well over a decade, including a No. 8 ranking in total attendance with 110,892 fans at home in 2013-14. In the last six seasons, Nebraska has made two trips to the NCAA Sweet 16, posted the four highest season victory totals in school history and had four WNBA Draft picks, including All-Americans Kelsey Griffin, Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore. Huskers have earned 22 all-conference awards the past six seasons, including 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year Jordan Hooper, 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year Kelsey Griffin 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 hard-working 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 as Coach Yori's first recruit to NU. Aubry, who enters her ninth season as a professional in 2015-16, was followed by Danielle Page, who enters her eighth season as one of the top professional players in France in 2015-16. Page is expected to represent her adopted home country of Serbia in the 2016 Olympics. Kelsey Griffin came next, setting the standard for future Huskers. The 6-2 forward was a first-team AllAmerican 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. Nebraska's 2010 NCAA Sweet 16 team included seniors Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner, who both went on to successful pro careers. 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. All-American and 2014 Big Ten Tournament MVP Rachel Theriot guides Nebraska into 2015-16.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want talented basketball players with great skill levels and knowledge of the game, but we also want great students who want to become great people after their careers are over.â&#x20AC;? Connie Yori Nebraska Head Coach

NCAA EXCITEMENT Nebraska has earned 11 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. The Huskers also advanced to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16. In 2014, the Huskers brought NCAA Tournament basketball back to Lincoln for the first time since 1993 when they played host to the NCAA Lincoln Regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

“This is the second time Nebraska has made the Sweet 16. The team is really excited. It was fun. We're enjoying the moment and playing for each other.” Jordan Hooper, Nebraska Class of 2014 2014 First-Team All-American/Big Ten Player of the Year 2014 WNBA Draft Pick

“I am so privileged and blessed to spend this season with my teammates and best friends. Each season is really about the memories and the bonds you make with your teammates. I just want to make the most of it.” Kelsey Griffin, Nebraska Class of 2010 2010 First-Team All-American/Big 12 Player of the Year 2010 WNBA All-Rookie Team

Competitive Excellence

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

WNBA TALENT Nebraska players have made an impact in recent years in the WNBA. In fact, over the last five years four Huskers have been chosen in the WNBA Draft, including No. 13 overall pick and first-team All-American Jordan Hooper (opposite page, top) in 2014. In 2010, first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin (top left) claimed the No. 3 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. In her first season with the Connecticut Sun, Griffin earned one of five spots on the 2010 WNBA All-Rookie Team. Griffin was No. 2 in rebounding among all rookies. Griffin completed her fifth WNBA season in 2014. Point guard Lindsey Moore (bottom left) became Nebraska's third WNBA first-round draft pick in history in 2013, going to the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 12 pick. Moore helped the Lynx win the WNBA title in her rookie season. Husker forward Cory Montgomery was a third-round WNBA pick of the New York Liberty in 2010. She continued her pro career in Europe and Australia. In 2008, Husker forward Danielle Page earned a WNBA spot as a free agent with the Connecticut Sun. Page spent the entire 2008 season with the Sun before spending her past seven seasons as one of the top players in Europe. In 2007, three-time first-team All-Big 12 guard Kiera Hardy was drafted in the third round by the Connecticut Sun. Hardy did not earn a final roster spot with the Sun, but spent two professional seasons overseas. Chelsea Aubry has enjoyed success at the international level. The 6-2 forward led Team Canada to the World Championships in 2006 and 2010, before becoming the first Husker to play in the Olympics in 2012. A Canadian captain, Aubry was a National Team member from 2005 to 2012, and plays professionally in Australia with Kelsey Griffin on the two-time WNBL champion Bendigo Spirit. Anna DeForge (opposite page, bottom) enjoyed a long professional career after earning All-America honors at Nebraska in 1998.

Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is composed of 14 full-time staff members and is certified by the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) as meeting the standards established by the N4A.

Tutorial Support

A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 120 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association.

Study Hall

Nebraska’s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Student-athletes are required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor.

Mentoring

Academic support staff serve as mentors to all incoming student-athletes and a select group of returning student-athletes. Student-athletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information, and discuss academic success strategies.

Educational Assessments

Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a student-athlete has a learning disability or another medical condition that impedes the student from reaching their academic potential, appropriate accommodations are implemented by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Student-Athlete Orientation

Each new student-athlete attends an orientation at the beginning of their academic career. Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and a variety of resources that help facilitate the transition into college while enhancing awareness of support services in the Athletic Department and across campus.

STUDENT-ATHLETE LIFE Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining intercollegiate athletic programs in the country. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes.

In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing first-class benefits and support to its student-athletes. The change in governance, and subsequent legislation, has paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for student-athletes even more. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: · All scholarship student-athletes across all sports will have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. · Every student-athlete (including Jessica Shepard pictured above with Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst) will receive 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 Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nutrition and Dining Services. · Nebraska created the first-known post-eligibility benefit program, where every student-athlete, who has graduated and exhausted their athletic eligibility, will have the opportunity to pursue an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school in the University system with Nebraska’s support.

HUSKERS ON WORLD STAGE

The Nebraska women's basketball team traveled to Australia (Aug. 1-12), experiencing a new culture while seeing the sites of the continent's most famous cities. The Huskers played four games on the tour against Australian professional teams in Melbourne, Cairns and Sydney. They also saw the world-famous Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef and some of Australia's unique wildlife (like the Koala pictured with Rachel Blackburn, right) at the Cairns Tropical Zoo. In recent years, Australia has become the professional home of some of Nebraska's greatest players, including AllAmerican and WNBA star Kelsey Griffin (Bendigo Spirit), Canadian Olympian Chelsea Aubry (Bendigo Spirit), WNBA champion Lindsey Moore (West Coast Waves), Cory Montgomery (Logan Thunder) and Yvonne Turner (Bundaburg). The Huskers posed for this team picture with the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge as the backdrop. Sydney was the last stop on Nebraska's two-week tour of Australia in August. Maddie Simon (far right) was just one of the Huskers who gained incredible experience on the court during Nebraska's fourgame tour of Australia. The freshman from Lincoln started all four games for the Big Red in Australia.

Shawn Eichorst came to the University of Nebraska in 2012 with an incredible passion for the University and for its student-athletes. As the leader of a tradition-rich program with 24 intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 300 full-time employees, Eichorst has relied on a strong value system and a student-centered approach to lead the Department. Nebraska’s primary mission is to provide student-athletes with the resources and support they need to be successful in academics, athletics and life. The health, safety and welfare of student-athletes is Nebraska’s top priority and at the essence of every decision made. Nebraska has a history of providing first-class coaches, staff and facilities for its students. Additionally, since Eichorst arrived in Lincoln, resources and services in every student-athlete support unit have been improved and enhanced, including academics, athletic medicine, life skills, nutrition, sports psychology, strength and conditioning and in the Nebraska Athletics Performance Laboratory (NAPL). Eichorst has continued to aggressively move Nebraska forward with several new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience. The Department will provide state-of-the-art laptop computers to all student-athletes beginning in the summer of 2015 and the University will now provide four-year, full cost of attendance-based scholarships for all scholarship student-athletes in every sport. Also beginning in the summer of 2015, every Husker letterwinner who graduates and has exhausted his or her eligibility will be provided assistance to either obtain an internship; study abroad or attend graduate or professional school. Eichorst has made more than 350 public appearances around the state, and his monthly radio show and “Connecting on Campus” online column provide the opportunity for him to further connect and share the incredible activities, initiatives and accomplishments that take place at Nebraska. As a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team, Eichorst maintains a strong connection and collaboration between the University and Department of Athletics. A highly respected national leader, Eichorst was appointed in 2015 to the Division I Football Oversight Committee. He was the

first Director of Athletics from any conference to visit the Big Ten Conference-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including Digital Humanities and head injury research. Under Eichorst, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 320 and its nation-leading total of NCAA Top Ten Award winners to 17, after Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. In 2014-15, more than 400 awards were presented at the 25th Anniversary StudentAthlete Recognition Banquet—A Night at the Lied. Over three commencements, 118 student-athletes earned undergraduate or graduate degrees and the Big Ten Conference honored 205 Husker student-athletes with Academic All-Big Ten awards. For the first time in school history, all Nebraska teams had an NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 950 or higher, as reported in May of 2015. The Nebraska football (second consecutive year) and rifle (third consecutive year) programs received public recognition for having an APR in the top 10 percent in their respective sports. In addition, five Husker teams (women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, volleyball and women’s golf) had a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 100 percent, as reported in the fall of 2014. On Dec. 4, 2014, Eichorst announced the hiring of Mike Riley as the Huskers’ new head football coach. As one of the most respected and sought-after coaches in the profession, Riley’s hire was highly praised by prominent members of the national media, the coaching fraternity, Riley’s former players, and current and former Nebraska student-athletes. In Riley, Eichorst secured one of the finest football minds in the world and great positive-thinking teacher of young men. In 2014-15, the Nebraska women’s bowling team earned the school’s seventh national title and fifth since bowling became an NCAA sport in 2004. The Husker men’s track and field team won the Big Ten Indoor Championship and 13 Husker teams competed in NCAA postseason action, including bowling, football, volleyball, women’s basketball, wrestling, softball, men’s and women’s gymnastics, rifle, and men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field. Nebraska produced 36 All-Americans who won 51 awards. Nebraska’s fan support continues to be unparalleled in college athletics. In fact, in 2014-15 top 15 national rankings for average attendance were reached across five sports—football, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. A tribute to loyal Husker fans, two sports lead the nation with consecutive home sellout streaks, including football (340) and volleyball for regularseason action (188). In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Additionally, Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports. Under Eichorst’s leadership, Nebraska continues to focus on improving its facilities and the game-day experience at all athletic venues. In the summer of 2015, a world-class Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Nebraska Innovation Campus, was completed. A new center-hung video board and sound system was installed in the Devaney Center in 2015 to improve the game-day experience for volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics. In 2014, the largest wireless network system at a college football stadium in history was installed in Memorial Stadium, along with a state-of-the-art sound system. In the summer of 2013, a Memorial Stadium expansion also added the innovative NAPL inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). That same year, Nebraska’s men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home for Husker volleyball, wrestling and the men’s and women’s gymnastics programs.

Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. He hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, who led Miami to the NIT Second Round in his first season and ACC regular-season and tournament titles as well and the NCAA Sweet 16 in his second. The women’s basketball program posted its highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted its first NCAA Tournament win in school history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip. Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Director of Athletics at Wisconsin. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the department’s daily operations, as well as Bo Ryan’s men’s basketball program under the direction of Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. From 2004 to 2006, Eichorst served as the Senior Associate Director of Athletics for Administration at South Carolina, overseeing the department’s daily operations, as well as the football and baseball programs under legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spurrier and Ray Tanner, respectively. From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10-percent finishes in the NACDA Directors Cup, one NCAA team title and two NCAA runner-up finishes. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and in 2015 was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award for Professional Achievement. He earned a law degree from Marquette Law School in 1995, practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999 and is a past member of the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette, where he taught classes in sports law. He serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors and in 2006, Marquette awarded Eichorst the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year Award. He is also a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee. Shawn and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.

Marc Boehm

Executive Associate A.D. 12th Year Kansas State (1984)

A member of the Nebraska Athletics senior administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as executive associate athletic director and is the top assistant to the athletic director. Boehm fulfills the director's responsibilities in his absence and also serves as the department's chief operating officer. Boehm oversees the efforts of several areas within athletics, including the Nebraska Athletic Development office, ticket operations, event management and guest services. He also oversees the Nebraska men's and women's basketball programs. Boehm serves as the liaison to Pinnacle Bank Arena, the NU Foundation and the Nebraska Alumni Association. 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. As the primary administrator for the NU basketball programs, Boehm played an integral role in the hiring of Tim Miles as the Huskers' new coach in March of 2012. In 2013-14, Miles earned the Jim Phelan Award as the national coach of the year, after capturing Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors from his peers earlier in the season. Boehm also played a lead role during the men's and women's basketball programs moved 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 season in May of 2013 in anticipation of the first season at Pinnacle Bank Arena and Coach Miles' second Husker team. 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 regularseason finish with an 11-7 record in the powerful Big Ten Conference while going 19-13 overall. Under Boehm's supervision, Coach Connie Yori's women's basketball program has enjoyed the most success in school history over the past eight years. The Husker women have earned six NCAA Tournament bids, including a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in 2010 and 2013 and two more trips to the NCAA second round. The Huskers have produced the four highest single-season win totals in NU history over the past five years. The Big Red have also finished the season ranked in the top 25 in four of the past five seasons - the first four top-25 final national rankings in school history. In 2013-14, Yori's Huskers won their first-ever conference tournament title, claiming the Big Ten crown with a 3-0 run at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Huskers finished with a 26-7 overall record that included a 12-4 Big Ten mark for the second straight year. NU earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round. Boehm also played a lead role in bringing NCAA Tournament basketball back to Lincoln for the first time since 1993, as the Husker women played host to the NCAA Lincoln Regional. Eventual national champion Connecticut, Texas A&M, DePaul and BYU battled it out for a spot in the 2014 NCAA Women's Final Four. The two sessions attracted well over 17,000 fans as one of the most successful sites in the tournament. During the regular season, the Husker women

ranked No. 8 nationally in total home attendance with more than 110,000 fans flocking to the arena as the Huskers tied a school record with 16 home victories. NU's average home attendance of 6,161 fans per game ranked 11th in the country. Yori, who joined Miles in winning Big Ten Coachof-the-Year honors from the conference coaches in 2014, earned her third league coach-of-the-year award in the last five seasons. She was also a consensus national coach-of-the-year in 2010. 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 back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. During construction of the Panthers' new athletic facilities, Boehm played a central role in Pitt's athletic teams moving to the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field and the Petersen Events Center. Boehm served as interim athletic director at Pittsburgh for nearly five months before coming to Nebraska. During that time, he hired men's basketball head coach Jamie Dixon. Boehm also spent five years as associate executive director of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He directed and managed a 125-member fund-raising committee of Arizona business people responsible for generating more than $4.5 million in cash and in-kind partnerships. Previously he spent four years as associate executive director and public relations director of the Sun Bowl from 1987 to 1991. Born in Grand Island, Boehm earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Kansas State in 1984 and added a master's degree in sports management from St. Thomas (Fla.) University in 1985. Boehm and his wife, the former Janelle Broderick of Minot, N.D., have three boys, Broderick, Christian and Lukas John.

The 2013 and 2014 Big Ten Coach of the Year, Yori has guided the Huskers to four consecutive NCAA Tournament bids, while averaging 24 victories per year over the last four seasons. In 2014-15, the Huskers overcame a barrage of injuries, including a season-ending injury to All-America point guard Rachel Theriot in early February, to advance to the NCAA Tournament and finish with a 21-11 overall record. The Huskers also went 10-8 in the Big Ten, becoming the only conference team to post winning conference records in each of the last four seasons. Although Nebraska has achieved sustained success both on the court, in the classroom, in the community and on the recruiting trail, Yori is still looking to the future. "We believe we are still in the growth stage in our program. That is part of what makes it exciting and fun to come to work every day. We have improved, but we are really focused on getting better every single day." Despite the challenges, Nebraska extended its school-record streak of 43 consecutive weeks in the USA Today/Coaches Top 25, before slipping from the poll on March 2, 2015. The Huskers, who spent 17 weeks in the USA Today/Coaches Top 25 in 2014-15,

ranked 11th nationally in average home attendance. The Huskers averaged nearly 6,500 fans per Big Ten home game in 2014-15 and more than 6,000 fans per game for the second straight season at the new arena. Nebraska's four senior starters - Emily Cady, Brandi Jeffery, Tear'a Laudermill and Hailie Sample - became the most successful class in history. Not only did they become the first set of Huskers to play in four straight NCAA tournaments, they also set the school record with 96 wins in their careers while becoming the first class to post four consecutive 20-win campaigns. NU's 2014-15 campaign followed on the heels of a 26-7 season in 2013-14 that included the school's first Big Ten Tournament title. The 2013-14 Huskers added, who included first-team All-American and Big Ten Player-of-the-Year Jordan Hooper, finished with the second-best winning percentage (.788) in school history. The 2013-14 Huskers finished with the second-best final national rankings in school history at No. 13 in the Associated Press and No. 17 in the USA Today Coaches Top 25. It was NU's fourth final top-25 national ranking in the past six years. Before Yori's arrival at Nebraska in 2002, no Husker team had ever finished a season in the top 25. Nebraska also finished No. 19 in the NCAA RPI, before claiming a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament - its second-highest seed in school history, trailing only the No. 1 seed the Huskers captured in 2010. Nebraska ranked No. 11 nationally in average home attendance in their first season at Pinnacle Bank Arena, while ranking No. 8 in total attendance. More than 110,000 watched the Huskers match the school record with 16 home wins in Lincoln in 2013-14. The Huskers also hosted the NCAA Lincoln Regional at the new arena, bringing NCAA Tournament games to Lincoln for the first time since 1993. Nebraska finished with a 12-4 Big Ten mark for the second straight year, while playing for a share of the Big Ten title on the final day of the regular season for the second consecutive season. A finalist for the Wade Trophy, Naismith Trophy and Senior CLASS Award, Hooper set Nebraska's school record with 295 threes, while finishing second in school history in points (2,357) and No. 3 in rebounds (1,110). Hooper's 40 career double-doubles also tied 2010 Husker All-America Kelsey Griffin's school record. Hooper was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. It marked the second straight season and the third time in the past six years that Nebraska had produced a top-15 pick in the draft, joining Griffin (No. 3, 2010) and Lindsey Moore (No. 12, 2013). The 6-2 forward from Alliance, who was a two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year, was the catalyst for the most successful three-year stretch in school history. Hooper led one of the most impressive team hardware hauls in Husker history. She claimed her third consecutive first-team AllBig Ten award, while Theriot added first-team All-Big Ten honors. Theriot, who shattered the school single-season record with 234 assists and captured Big Ten Tournament MVP honors, joined Hooper on the Big Ten All-Tournament team. Theriot's 18 assists in a Big Ten quarterfinal win over Minnesota were the most ever by a Big Ten player against a Big Ten opponent. Theriot also claimed honorable-mention All-America accolades from the Associated Press, giving Nebraska a pair of All-Americans for the second straight year. Cady and Laudermill added second-team all-conference honors, while Sample added a spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team. Cady, who earned second-team honors again in 2014-15, and Laudermill, who contributed honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades, continued Nebraska's conference success under Yori. Over the past 13 seasons, Huskers have earned 39 allconference awards, including 12 first-team, five second-team, 12 honorable-mention, five all-freshman and five all-defensive accolades. Yori's Huskers also have claimed six All-America awards over the past six seasons, including first-team WBCA honors for Hooper (2014) and Griffin (2010) and honorable-mention awards for Hooper (2012, 2013), Theriot (2014) and Moore (2013). In the first 35 seasons of Nebraska women's basketball, Huskers had claimed only eight All-America awards. It is no surprise that great players have created great success. Over the past six years, Nebraska has averaged nearly 24 wins

per season. In the previous 35 seasons, no Husker team had won more than 23 games. Yori has helped the Huskers raise the bar by landing some of the nation's best recruits, while keeping the state's top players at home. That trend continues in 2015-16, as the Huskers welcome the best class in school history for the second straight year. NU's 2015-16 freshmen were ranked as the No. 8 class nationally by ESPN, and include the most heralded high school player in the history of the state of Nebraska - Jess Shepard. A two-time Nebraska Gatorade High School Player of the Year (2013, 2014), Shepard was ranked as the No. 1 post player coming out of high school by ESPN. A starter on the USA Basketball U18 National Team at the FIBA Americas Championship in the summer of 2014, Shepard ranked among the most productive scorers and rebounders in Nebraska prep history, despite missing more than half of her senior season at Fremont High School with a knee injury. The 6-4 Shepard, who committed to Nebraska before her freshman year at Lincoln Southeast High School in 2011-12, is joined in NU's 2015-16 freshman class by 2015 Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year Maddie Simon from Lincoln Pius X. Simon, an athletic 6-2 guard, was a multi-sport star at Pius X, as one of the top hurdlers in the state. The duo of Nebraskans is joined by Kansas prep player Rachel Blackburn from Leavenworth, who also ranked among the top 25 prep post players in the nation. The Huskers' 2015-16 freshman class followed a 2014-15 freshman group that ranked No. 9 nationally by ESPN. Natalie Romeo (California) made an immediate impact for the Huskers, starting late in the season in place of the injured Theriot. Jasmine Cincore (Tennessee) also played a significant role throughout the season, despite battling injuries along with Romeo. Junior college All-American Anya Kalenta (Belarus) also was challenged by injuries in her first year at Nebraska, while post player Darrien Washington (California) used a redshirt season to improve her game. Walk-on Emily Wood (Kansas) played a valuable role both in practice and in games to earn the respect of Husker players, coaches and fans in her first season. "We believe that the success level of our team has improved because we have focused on bringing in the highest quality of student-athlete," Yori said. "Obviously, we want talented basketball players with great skill levels and knowledge of the game, but we also want great students who want to become great people after their careers are over." That has shown with Nebraska's 100 percent graduate rate for women's basketball. In fact, each of Yori's NCAA Tournament teams have earned national recognition for their perfect graduation rate. Nebraska is one of just eight programs nationally to produce a 100 percent graduation rate while advancing to each of the last four NCAA tournaments. The Huskers have also continued to demonstrate unsurpassed community involvement. Since the inception of Nebraska's Life Skills Team Award presented to the school's most committed team in the area of outreach, Yori's team has finished among the top programs all 12 years while winning the Life Skills Team Award on two occasions. In 2014 and 2015, every Husker on the roster earned a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team, which requires the completion of at least six community service projects during the academic year. Nebraska's all-around success is demonstrated with Griffin's 2010 Senior CLASS Award and Hooper's 2014 Senior CLASS FirstTeam All-America award. Griffin, who was the 2010 Nebraska Student-Athlete of the Year, was also a finalist for the V Foundation Comeback Award. In 2012-13, Yori led Nebraska to the program's second trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 in the past four years. A roster that featured just two seniors rolled to the third-most wins in school history (25), while notching the second-highest conference victory total (12) in the Husker record books. From mid-January through February, Yori's Huskers reeled off 10 consecutive Big Ten wins on their way to a conference regular-season runner-up finish (12-4). In the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the No. 6 seed Huskers snapped Southern Conference champion Chattanooga's 19-game winning streak in the first round before knocking off No. 3 seed and SEC Tournament champion Texas A&M in College Station, 74-63. NU's tournament run came to an end in a 53-45 loss to No. 2 seed

Duke at Old Dominion. Nebraska's late-season surge pushed the Huskers to No. 18 in the final USA Today/Coaches Top 25 and No. 24 in the AP Poll. NU's 25-9 record came against one of the nation's best schedules and one of the strongest in school history. The Huskers entered the NCAA Tournament at No. 16 in the NCAA RPI and carried the No. 12 Strength of Schedule in the country, according to RealTimeRPI.com. Nebraska fans came out in droves to support their beloved Huskers, averaging 5,243 fans to rank among the top 20 teams in the nation. NU averaged 6,586 fans per Big Ten home game, including 10,832 as the Huskers bid farewell on March 3, 2013, to the Bob Devaney Sports Center - the home of Nebraska women's basketball since 1976. Moore was the leader of the Huskers in 2012-13, capping her senior season as AP honorable-mention All-American before being chosen with the No. 12 pick by the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA Draft. She went on to win the 2013 WNBA title in her first season with the Lynx. Moore, who was a two-time finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award presented to the nation's top point guard, joined Hooper as a candidate for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden national playerof-the-year awards in 2012-13. They became the first Husker duo on national player-of-the-year watch lists in the same season, while becoming the first pair of Huskers to earn All-America honors in the same season. Hooper also earned first-team All-Big Ten honors, while Moore was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament team for the second consecutive season. Hooper and Moore, a second-team All-Big Ten choice for the second time, were joined on the All-Big Ten team by Cady. The 6-2 forward earned honorable mention from the league writers for the second time. Theriot added a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Nebraska's 2012-13 success followed a breakthrough 201112 year. In their first season in the Big Ten, Yori's young Huskers battled their way to a 24-9 record and a 10-6 Big Ten mark. They fought their way to the Big Ten Tournament title game in their first-ever appearance and earned a No. 6 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Injuries to Hooper, Cady and Sample stalled a potential tournament run, but the Huskers still finished No. 17 in the final AP rankings. Cady and Sample made Husker history in 2011-12, becoming the first freshman duo to start every game for Nebraska. In fact, with Cady and Sample leading the way, Nebraska's freshmen played the most minutes of any freshman class in the Big Ten. Nebraska's recent success on the court dates to a magical breakthrough season for the Husker program in 2009-10. Yori guided the Big Red to the best season in school history, leading the Huskers to the Big 12 Conference regular-season title. Along

the way, NU tied the Big 12 record with a 30-game winning streak and became the first team in league history to post an unbeaten regular season (29-0). The Huskers, who finished 32-2, became just the second team in conference history to go a perfect 16-0 in regular-season league play. Yori engineered Nebraska's rise to its highest national ranking in school history, climbing as high as No. 3 in the national polls. Prior to 2009-10, Nebraska had never been in the top 10, but spent nine straight weeks in the top 10 to end the season, after beginning the year unranked. Yori's Huskers captured the school's first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the program's first NCAA Sweet 16, before finishing No. 4 in the official NCAA RPI. NU also finished No. 4 in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25. Yori, who earned national coach-of-the-year honors from the WBCA, AP, USBWA, the Naismith Trophy and the inaugural Kay Yow Award, led the Huskers to the biggest single-season turnaround in the nation in 2009-10. Nebraska improved 17 games in the win column after advancing to the postseason in 2008-09. The Huskers, who were the preseason pick to finish sixth in the Big 12 by league coaches, went undefeated in the nation's No. 1 RPI conference and Yori captured Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Bolstered by the return of first-team All-American and 2010 Big 12 Player-of-the-Year Kelsey Griffin, the Huskers were dominant. In addition to Griffin winning Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors after claiming a first-team All-Big 12 award for the third time, Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner earned first-team All-Big 12 honors. Turner was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, while Griffin joined Turner on the All-Big 12 Defensive Team. Dominique Kelley added honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades, while Moore was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team after starting every game. Griffin, who finished her career with 2,033 points and 1,019 rebounds, was chosen by the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 3 overall pick in the WNBA Draft before being traded to the Connecticut Sun. Little more than one hour later, Montgomery was selected by the New York Liberty with the No. 25 overall pick in the draft. Griffin has continued her WNBA career with the Sun into the 2015 season, while also spending professional seasons in Hungary, Israel and most recently, three extremely successful seasons in Australia. She was joined in Australia in 2013 by Montgomery, while Turner continues to play professionally overseas. Turner also signed training camp contracts with the San Antonio Silver Stars (2013) and Chicago Sky (2014). In addition to Nebraska's incredible rise to prominence on the national scene in 2009-10, the Huskers became a marquee attraction across the Midwest. Nebraska led the Big 12 by averaging 11,383 fans over eight league home games, while shattering the school attendance records. NU ranked No. 7 nationally with 7,390 fans per game, while drawing seven consecutive crowds of more than 10,000 to close the season. Conf. Pct. That record streak included the school's 7-11 .389 first capacity crowd of 13,595 at the 10-8 .556 Devaney Center for a win over Missouri 17-19 .472 on Feb. 27, which included a Big 12 regular-season title presentation and the 12-4 .750 cutting down of the nets at the Devaney 14-2 .875 Center for the first time since 1988. 12-6 .667 Although Nebraska's meteoric rise on 10-8 .556 the national landscape seemed like an 7-11 .389 overnight success with national headlines 11-7 .611 in USA Today, The New York Times, 9-9 .500 Sports Illustrated and unprecedented 7-11 .389 exposure from ESPN, the Huskers' climb 11-7 .611 was anything but a quick fix. Instead, 16-2 .889 Yori spent eight years building Nebraska 109-67 .619 brick-by-brick with painstaking detail 1-15 .063 into a force to be reckoned with on the 7-9 .438 national levels. 8-8 .500 Yori's success at Nebraska has come 8-8 .500 as a result of her commitment to helping 10-6 .625 student-athletes have outstanding 9-7 .563 all-around collegiate experiences on the court, in the classroom and in the 6-10 .375 16-0 1.000 community. Yori's approach involves creating an atmosphere of terrific team 3-13 .188 chemistry with players and coaches who 10-6 .625 genuinely care about each other. 12-4 .750 When Yori first arrived at Nebraska in 12-4 .750 the summer of 2002, the Huskers were 10-8 .556 coming off back-to-back losing seasons. 112-98 .533 Left with just a handful of healthy, 239-199 .546 scholarship players, Nebraska struggled

to an 8-20 overall mark and a 1-15 Big 12 record. Through steady recruiting and a commitment to helping her student-athletes improve on and off the court, the Huskers have found a recipe for success. Even before its breakthrough 2009-10 campaign, the Huskers had earned six consecutive postseason tournament appearances, including back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and 2008. NU's 2008 NCAA appearance included the school's thirdever NCAA Tournament victory with a first-round win over Xavier, before taking No. 1 national seed Maryland to the limit on the Terrapins' home court in the second round. In 2008-09, Nebraska battled its way to a Postseason WNIT bid despite losing Griffin to an ankle injury before the season began. The Huskers were dealt a further blow inside with the loss of center Nikki Bober, just days after helping the Huskers to a win over No. 24 Arizona State at the Devaney Center on Dec. 28. The Sun Devils went on to advance to the 2009 NCAA Elite Eight. The Huskers, who finished the year with a 15-16 overall record and a 6-10 Big 12 mark, tied for seventh in the nation's strongest conference. The Big 12 sent six teams to the NCAA Tournament and three more to the WNIT. The 2008-09 Huskers notched top-25 wins over Arizona State and Kansas State, while playing 19 games against 2009 postseason tournament qualifiers despite a starting that regularly did not include a senior. In Griffin's absence, Montgomery and Turner emerged as rising stars in the Big 12, setting up Nebraska's storybook season in 2009-10 with the return of Griffin. In 2007-08, Yori guided Nebraska to one of its best seasons, as the Huskers claimed their third NCAA Tournament victory in history with a 61-58 win over Xavier in College Park, Md. Along with leading Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament win in a decade, Yori helped the Huskers to their first back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances since the 1999 and 2000 seasons, while posting back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since 1998 and 1999. In 2007-08, Yori's Huskers finished with a 21-12 record despite a 13-player roster that featured five true freshmen, five sophomores and one junior college transfer. Griffin, an All-Big 12 forward, was the only Husker to ever start a game in an NU uniform heading into the 2007-08 campaign. Along with their youth, the Huskers faced the challenge of playing 24 of their 33 games against 2008 postseason tournament teams, including 16 against NCAA Tournament teams. Nebraska's strength of schedule ranked No. 24 nationally heading into postseason play. Despite their youth and imposing schedule, the Huskers finished with a 9-7 Big 12 mark in a league that sent 11 teams to the postseason, including eight that won first-round NCAA Tournament games. NU's rise on the conference and national levels has been remarkable considering Yori's starting point. She set out to establish a winning tradition at Nebraska after she was hired on June 24, 2002. When she arrived in 2002, the Huskers were coming off backto-back losing seasons and the program was left with just five scholarship players for most of the season. But Yori was also confident that Nebraska's resources, coupled with her coaching knowledge and ability to develop strong personal relationships with players, would lead NU to future success. Yori's 2002-03 club struggled to an 8-20 record, but her first recruiting class made an immediate impact in her second season. The 2003-04 squad featured four returning senior starters and made one of the largest improvements in NCAA Division I basketball by finishing with an 18-12 record, despite playing 19 games against 2004 postseason clubs. Along with a win over No. 13 Ohio State, the Huskers notched one of the biggest wins in school history with an 81-63 victory over No. 9 Kansas State on Jan. 24. The win came in front of a national television audience on Fox Sports Net and marked the highestranked team the Huskers had ever defeated at the Devaney Center. NU added a 7-9 Big 12 mark and may have finished just one win shy of the school's first NCAA Tournament bid since 2000. NU finished in a three-way tie for seventh in a league that sent nine teams to the postseason, including the Huskers. Nebraska made a trip to the 2004 Postseason WNIT and played two home games. NU's 73-60 win over Drake marked its first postseason victory since 1998 and the first home postseason win since 1993. Along with amazing improvement on the court, the Huskers made major strides in the classroom and community. The Huskers made history in 2003-04 by becoming the athletic department's first winner of the Life Skills Award of Excellence. The award was presented to the team that showed the greatest

Connie Yori was named the 2010 National Coach of the Year after leading Nebraska to a 32-2 season that included a 16-0 conference mark and a Big 12 regular-season title. Yori, the 2010 Big 12 Coach of the Year, added Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2013 and 2014. overall commitment to Nebraska's community outreach program, an impressive accomplishment considering Nebraska's overall Life Skills program has been named the best in the nation. Although NU had to replace four senior starters in 2003-04, the 2004-05 squad continued the program's climb. Nebraska grabbed national headlines and made school history on Jan. 12, 2005, by knocking off then-No. 2 Baylor, 103-99 in triple overtime at the Devaney Center. Not only did the Huskers outlast the eventual national champion Bears in the longest game in Big 12 history, they also posted a win over the highest-ranked team in school history. The Huskers finished with an 8-8 Big 12 to finish in the top six in the nation's toughest conference for the first time since 19992000. The Huskers advanced to the postseason for the second straight year with a trip to the 2005 Postseason WNIT. Nebraska finished 2004-05 with an 18-14 record despite playing 11 games against top 25 foes. Along with the win over No. 2 Baylor, NU defeated No. 14 Iowa State 88-59 on Feb. 12 in Lincoln, to give NU its largest victory margin in history over a top-25 opponent. Yori's 2004-05 squad was composed of seven newcomers on a 12-player roster. The newcomers were led by senior point guard Jina Johansen and were sparked by the emergence of Kiera Hardy, who became the third sophomore in school history to earn first-team all-conference honors. She was just the third Husker since the inception of the Big 12 in 1996-97 to claim first-team All-Big 12 accolades. Hardy's rise along with the addition of 2005 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Jelena Spiric and the leadership of Chelsea Aubry gave NU high hopes for 2005-06. Those hopes were tempered the first week of fall practice by the loss of Spiric to a seasonending knee injury. Despite the setback, NU battled to a 19-13 overall record, including an 8-8 Big 12 mark, and advanced to a third straight Postseason WNIT. The Huskers closed the season as one of the Big 12's hottest teams, winning seven of their last 10 games including a trip to the WNIT quarterfinals, despite a late-season illness to freshman phenom Kelsey Griffin. NU's strong finish came while establishing a measure of dominance against Big 12 North competition. Nebraska went 5-0 in rematches with North Division opponents in 200506, and finished the year with a 7-3 mark against North schools, before adding a victory against Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. The Huskers defeated Colorado three times in the same season for the first time in school history after recording their first regular-season sweep of the Buffaloes in 21 years. NU also ended a 20-year losing streak at Boulder.

Nebraska's rise to the upper echelon in the Big 12 continued in 2006-07. The Huskers finished with a 22-10 overall record that included a 10-6 league mark. NU earned a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament by finishing in a tie for fourth in the league standings. Hardy led the Huskers in 2006-07 by capturing her third straight first-team All-Big 12 award before being selected in the third round of the WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun. A WBCA Region 5 All-American, Hardy became the second Husker in history to be drafted by the WNBA. She also earned her bachelor's degree from Nebraska the day before hitting the game-winning shot in her professional exhibition debut. Griffin joined Hardy in capturing first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2006-07, becoming the fourth Husker to earn first-team all-league honors as a sophomore. Griffin was a first-team academic All-Big 12 pick and a member of the Big 12 Winter Good Works Team. Aubry, a captain and member of the Canadian Senior National Team who eventually became Nebraska's first Olympian in 2012, added honorable-mention All-Big 12 recognition as a senior. She also earned academic All-Big 12 honors and served on Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee with Griffin. Nebraska's rise has followed continued recruiting success. Yori's first group of recruits included Hardy and Aubry. Yori's second group included Danielle Page, who spent the 2008 WNBA season with the Connecticut Sun. Page is set to enter her eighth professional season overseas in 2015-16, while also competing with the Serbian National Team for the first time in 2015. Yori's third class included Griffin, who became the second player in school history with more than 2,000 points and 1,000 career rebounds. Yori's fourth class was her largest and most accomplished, including WBCA All-American and Miss Nebraska Basketball Yvonne Turner, All-Arizona guard Nicole Neals, All-Minnesota forward Cory Montgomery, Iowa Female Athlete of the Year Kala Kuhlmann and All-Nebraska center Nikki Bober. NU's fifth group included 2007 Miss Nebraska Basketball Dominique Kelley, who set a Husker record by starting all 33 games as a freshman in 2007-08, Canadian National Program member Kaitlyn Burke, California State Junior College Tournament MVP Tay Hester, French National Team member Jessica Periago, and Texas all-stater Catheryn Redmon. The Huskers' sixth class featured Canadian National program member Harleen Sidhu and Texan Layne Reeves, while NU's seventh class included ESPN Top 100 point guard and state of Washington Gatorade Player of the Year Lindsey Moore, along with California high school standout Meghin Williams. Moore earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team after breaking Kelley's NU record by starting all 34 games in 2009-10.

Nebraska's eighth recruiting class lived up to the lofty expectations created by the success of the Huskers' 2010 senior class. That group included two-time Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year and WBCA honorable-mention All-American Jordan Hooper from Alliance. Yori's ninth class was the most successful in school history. Led by Nebraska prep star Emily Cady, Texan Hailie Sample, Californian Tear'a Laudermill and Parade All-American and 2011 Louisiana High School Player of the Year Brandi Jeffery, that group became the first class in Husker history make four straight NCAA Tournament trips at Nebraska. They also won more Big Ten Conference games than any other team during their four years in Lincoln, helping the Huskers make a successful transition to their new league beginning with their freshman season in 2011-12. Yori's 10th class was led by All-Ohio guard Rachel Theriot, who joined an elite group of Huskers (Jordan Hooper, Karen Jennings) to earn All-America honors as a sophomore in 2014. Theriot, a 6-0 point guard who was ranked among the top 100 players in the nation in high school, shattered Nebraska's single-season assist record as a sophomore while ranking among the nation's top players in assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio in 2013-14. Yori's 11th Husker class was led by All-Michigan forward Allie Havers. The 6-5 Havers was ranked as the No. 76 high school senior in the nation. Canadian Esther Ramacieri joined Havers in contributing for the Huskers as a freshman in 2013-14. Yori's 12th and 13th signing classes represented the first two top-10 groups in school history. Yori came to Nebraska after 10 successful years at Creighton, where she closed her career as the 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year after leading CU to MVC regularseason and tournament titles and a 2002 NCAA Tournament bid. Along with the MVC title and a trip to the 2002 NCAA Tournament, the Bluejays went 24-7 with a 16-2 MVC mark. CU also set school and league records with 249 three-pointers to rank fifth nationally with 8.0 per game. The Ankeny, Iowa, native produced a 170-115 (.596) mark in 10 seasons at Creighton. Overall, Yori spent 17 seasons at Creighton, including four as a guard (1982-83 through 1985-86) and three as an assistant coach (1986-87 through 1988-89) under Bruce Rasmussen. Between stints as an assistant coach and head coach at Creighton, Yori spent one year (1989-90) as the head softball coach at St. Thomas University in Miami, Fla., where she earned her master's degree in sports administration. Yori then spent two seasons as head coach at NCAA Division III Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, (1990-91 and 1991-92). After two years at Loras College, she returned to Creighton to take the reins from her mentor, Rasmussen, who accepted an associate athletic director position at CU in 1992, and has since become athletic director. In her first season as Creighton's head coach in 1992-93, Yori led the Bluejays to a 20-8 record, a 12-4 conference mark and the school's second trip to the NCAA Tournament. CU earned a No. 10 seed in the Midwest Region and defeated No. 7-seed Bowling Green (84-73) before losing to defending national champion Texas Tech (75-65) in the second round. In her second season (1993-94), Yori's Bluejays raced to a 24-7 record and a 14-2 MVC mark. Her 2001-02 Creighton squad matched that mark, while setting a school record with 16 conference victories, and also advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Yori graduated from Creighton with a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1986, and earned a master's degree in sports administration from St. Thomas University in 1990. As a player for the Bluejays, Yori ranks third on the school's all-time scoring list with 2,010 points.

A Conversation with Coach Yori Q: What qualities do you look for in student-athletes that you recruit to Nebraska? CY: I've always believed that if you surround yourself with good people, then good things will happen. If you recruit quality student-athletes with good character, then things will fall into place. We want to be committed to recruiting student-athletes who have quality character and are good athletes. I believe the game is still a team game. You can have great individual players, but if they don't play together, then you are not going to be successful. We want players who understand team concepts and believe in those things. We want players who care about each other and respect one another. When you have that, then special things can happen. Q: What do you hope student-athletes will take from their years with the Nebraska program? CY: We want them to leave here a better person than they came. We want to recruit quality people, but as a coaching staff we also want to impact our studentathletes in a positive way. As coaches, we have a parenting role when our players are away from home. We want our kids to be able to go out into the world and be productive members of society after they graduate from college. We want them to be overall good people and make good decisions based on a good value system. It is our responsibility as coaches to help develop those things. We surround our student-athletes with people who have good values and we want to help mold our players in a positive way. Q: What do you envision as the direction of the Nebraska women's basketball program? CY: We came a long way in our first 10 years at Nebraska, and started our second decade with a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 last year. We are now in position to contend for conference titles and NCAA Tournament bids on an annual basis. In 2010, we won the Big 12 championship, earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and made it to the Sweet 16. In 2012, we were the Big Ten Tournament runner-up in our first season in the conference, and won the tournament title in 2014. We've also played for a share of the regular-season title on the final day of the season two times in our first four years. The Big Ten is not only one of the nation's most stable and tradition-rich conferences in all sports, it is a great women's basketball conference. In 2013 and 2014, the Big Ten went undefeated in the first round of the postseason - that's pretty remarkable. Overall, our primary focus is still recruiting quality student-athletes who our fans can be proud of. We want our student-athletes to be players our fans will enjoy watching. We also want our student-athletes to be here for the right reasons. We want to be a team that competes for conference championships on a regular basis. If you are competing for a Big Ten championship, then you are going to be a top-10 team competing for the national title. With the right players, those goals are possible at Nebraska. Q: How has the move to the Big Ten helped Nebraska? CY: Not only do the top teams in the league battle for national titles, but six or seven other teams are heading to the NCAA Tournament. The conference is filled with great teams and great tradition, and it provides tremendous academic opportunities for student-athletes. The Big Ten has committed itself to helping provide national exposure to its teams and athletes through the Big Ten Network. The past four years, the Big Ten Network has provided more national television coverage for women's basketball

Connie Yori, the 2010 National Coach of the Year, enters her 14th season at Nebraska in 2015-16. Nebraska's career wins leader, Yori has guided NU to seven NCAA tournaments in the last nine years, including a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances (2010, 2013) and two more trips to the NCAA second round (2008, 2014).

than any other conference in the country. The Big Ten Network reaches more than 80 million homes across the nation, and it certainly makes the world feel smaller to parents of players from outside Nebraska. Q: How would you describe the style of play you would like to feature at Nebraska? CY: We are up-tempo on both ends of the court. Some programs are up-tempo offensively, but we can create offense with our defense. We play aggressively at both ends of the court and make it a 94-foot game. We were not able to do that in my first few years because of our depth, but then we began moving in that direction and in 2009-10 we achieved it. We were one of the top 10 offensive teams in the country in 2009-10, while also being a great defensive team. Our style allows us to feature more talented all-around players because we want to play with expanded rotations to keep our legs fresh. We want to create offense with defense. Being an up-tempo team requires the right personnel. We want players who not only know how to attack but also want to learn to be smarter, disciplined basketball players. Those are the kind of players who not only have success at the Division I level, but also at the professional level. It is an exciting style to play, and we want to run. Q: How would you rate the academic support provided to student-athletes at Nebraska? CY: I truly believe our academic support services are the best in the country. Other schools come here and try to duplicate our system and model their programs after ours. What's great about Nebraska's academic support is that it can help a good student become a great student, and an average student can become a good student. There is a total commitment by the people working in the academic area, as well as by our coaching staff. The two groups working hand-in-hand will help our players graduate and be ready to take the next step in their lives.

Q: What kind of support does the women's basketball program receive at the University of Nebraska? CY: We have one of the best athletic departments in the country. Our athletic staff has a great love of Nebraska, and they are committed to helping us in the right manner make our program successful. Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm was hired specifically to help our program. It even goes as high as our chancellor, Harvey Perlman, who has shown great support. There is no pressure to cut corners. We want to do things the right way. Our new practice facility, the Hendricks Training Complex, gives us a tremendous advantage with a new locker room, team room, weight room and athletic medicine facilities for our players. In 201314, we moved into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, where our games are a focal point of not just the campus, but of the entire city of Lincoln. The excitement around women's basketball at Nebraska is at an all-time high. Q: How impressive has Nebraska's fan support been in your first 13 seasons as NU's head coach? CY: Nebraska's fan support is amazing. We have averaged more than 6,000 fans per game in our first two seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Our season ticket sales have nearly doubled since I first came to Nebraska, and in 2014 we had almost 9,000 fans per game for the NCAA Lincoln Regional. There is a growing excitement for women's basketball across the state. In 2009-10 our program experienced all-time highs, ranking seventh nationally in attendance with nearly 7,500 fans per game. We also led the Big 12 by averaging nearly 11,500 fans per league game. That season, people got excited about an unbeaten team and a 30-game winning streak. The most impressive thing about Husker fans is that even when you're not so good, they support you. In my first year, we only won eight games, and we still had 3,000 fans. I think that shows an amazing commitment level by our longtime fans.

Outlook (2015-16)

Natalie Romeo (pronounced ROW-MEE-Oh) claimed a starting role in the Nebraska backcourt down the stretch in her freshman campaign after an injury to All-America guard Rachel Theriot. Romeo, who appeared in 24 games overall with 12 starts as a freshman, took full advantage of the opportunity by averaging 13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists as a starter. She also emerged as one of the Big Ten's premier young shooters, connecting on 3.3 threes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from beyond the arc in her 12 starts. The 5-7 guard from Martinez, Calif., enters her second season at Nebraska as a front-runner for one of the two starting jobs vacated by graduated seniors Tear'a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery in the Husker backcourt. As a freshman, Romeo finished fourth among the Huskers with 9.0 points per game, despite missing eight games with a foot injury that kept her

out of action for nearly six weeks at the end of nonconference play. She was at her best in postseason play, leading the Huskers with 18.3 points and 5.3 threes per game in Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Tournament play. Romeo's postseason performances included a career-high 26 points with a school-record-tying seven three-pointers in a Big Ten Tournament win over Illinois on March 5. Off the court, Romeo earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in the fall of 2014, and she was a member of the 2015 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. “We love Natalie's toughness and shooting ability. She can also put the ball on the floor and attack the basket. She is a good enough passer to find teammates to help spread the floor. She brings intensity every time she steps on the court," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has worked hard to improve her communication skills both on and off the court, and we are hoping that can make us a better team this season. We expect her to be a big part of any success we have this year.”

Freshman (2014-15)

Romeo was thrust into a starting role late in her freshman season after overcoming a foot injury that kept her out for most of the non-conference campaign. She started Nebraska's final 10 games of 201415, while making 12 starts in her 24 appearances on the season. Romeo scored in double figures seven times, including a trio of 20-point games. She emerged as a dangerous three-point threat late in the season, draining 16-of-35 three-point attempts in Big Ten and NCAA Tournament play. In Nebraska's win over Illinois in the secondround of the Big Ten Tournament on March 5, Romeo tied a school record with seven threepointers on her way to a career-high 26 points against the Illini. She hit 7-of-11 shots from long range to set the NU record for three-pointers made in a conference tournament game. The next night, Romeo hit four more threes to finish with 14 points in a quarterfinal loss to No. 14 Iowa. Romeo's 11 threes shattered Nebraska's record for a conference tournament and tied NU's career Big Ten Tournament record. She carried that success into the NCAA Tournament, where she knocked down five threes to finish with 15 points in a first-round loss to Syracuse in Columbia, S.C., on March 20. Romeo's five threes tied the NU single-game NCAA Tournament record held by Yvonne Turner. In postseason play, Romeo averaged a teambest 18.3 points on 5.3 three-pointers made per game. She added 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals while playing 115 of Nebraska's 120 total minutes in tournament action.

Darrien Washington enters her second year in the Nebraska program hoping to battle for significant playing time in the post after redshirting as a true freshman in 2014-15.

She averaged 5.5 points and a whopping 7.3 rebounds in just 17.3 minutes per game off the bench for the Big Red against the collection of Australian professional teams.

She is strong, runs the floor well and works hard on defense,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She used her redshirt season well last year, and we feel like she improved mentally, physically and fundamentally as a player. Hopefully that can translate into some productive playing time for Darrien this season.”

Washington wrapped up her career at Oakland Skyline High School with an outstanding senior season, earning first-team All-Oakland honors after averaging 16.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.1 blocks per game for 21-9 Skyline in 2013-14. Washington's abilities were featured in a 77-40 victory over San Leandro KIPP King, when she erupted for 32 points and pulled down 23 rebounds while blocking six shots. Washington finished her high school career with 1,181 points over 101 career games to average 11.7 points per game. She also averaged 9.8 rebounds per contest, coming up just short of 1,000 career rebounds despite playing sparingly as a freshman. Washington was a first-team All-Oakland selection in the Bay Area League in 2012-13. She averaged 16.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 4.9 blocks for Oakland Skyline as a junior in 2012-13. One of her top performances came on Nov. 28, 2012, against Washington-San Francisco, when she had 27 points, 17 rebounds and six blocked shots in a 50-47 win. She helped Skyline to a 17-10 record as a junior and was an all-state candidate out of the CIF San Francisco/Oakland section.

1. Darrien likes to sing. 2. Her best friend is Natalie Romeo. 3. Darrien dislikes strawberries, bananas and hot dogs. 4. Her favorite animal in the world is the lion. 5.

Outlook (2015-16)

Rachel Blackburn completed a talented threeplayer Nebraska signing class in the fall of 2014 that ranked No. 8 in the nation by ESPN. Blackburn, a 6-3 power forward out of Leavenworth High School in Kansas, was ranked as the No. 17 post player in the nation, joining fellow Husker freshman Jessica Shepard among the top 20 posts in the 2014 signing class. Blackburn also ranked as the No. 63 player in the nation overall by Blue Star Basketball and No. 69 by Prospects Nation. She was also one of five finalists for the 2015 DiRenna Award, presented to the top high school player in the greater Kansas City area. She helped lead Leavenworth to its second straight Class 5A state championship in 2015. Blackburn's size and physicality could give her a chance to make an immediate impact inside for the Huskers, who are looking for two starters to replace four-year starters Emily Cady and Hailie Sample in 2015-16. Blackburn demonstrated her abilities and potential during Nebraska's four-game summer tour of Australia in early August. With Shepard out of action while recovering from injury, Blackburn averaged 7.5 points and 6.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game against a collection of Australian professional teams. She also shot a team-best 65 percent from the field. “Husker fans are going to love Rachel because she represents what we’ve built our program on,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She’s tough, hardworking, skilled and is a great energy player. Rachel comes from a program where she has competed at a high level and has had great coaching. She’s been pushed at the high school level, so she understands the consistent effort that it will take to be successful at Nebraska. Rachel also has natural leadership qualities. She’s a mature young lady who plays with both passion and intelligence.”

Love & Respect

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Jessica Shepard 6-4 Freshman Forward Fremont, Nebraska (Fremont) knew Jess was a very special player at a young age," Yori said. "Jess has a rare combination of size, skill, athleticism, versatility and a high basketball IQ. She is a skilled ball-handler who can take defenders to the basket. She has spent most of her high school career being double- and triple-teamed, so she has become an outstanding passer with both vision and poise. She is also developing her three-point game to complement the other ways she can score. "What I love most about Jess is that in spite of all of her accolades, she is very humble. She is never satisfied and she is determined to come back even stronger from her injury. That says a lot about her character and competitiveness."

Maddie Simon

6-2 Freshman Guard Lincoln, Nebraska (Pius X) Before Nebraska

Honors & Awards

• Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year (2015) • Two-Time First-Team Super-State (Lincoln Journal Star, 2014, 2015) • Two-Time First-Team All-Nebraska (Omaha World-Herald, 2014, 2015) • Two-Time First-Team Nebraska Class B (2014, 2015) • Second-Team Nebraska Class A (2013) • No. 149 Player in Nation (Blue Star, 2015) • No. 22 Guard in Nation (ESPN, 2015)

Outlook (2015-16)

An emerging player with the coveted combination of size, speed, strength and skill, Maddie Simon joins Jessica Shepard as Nebraska natives in the Huskers’ 2015-16 freshman class. Simon, who was the 2015 Nebraska Gatorade High School Player of the Year, averaged 18.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists while playing all five positions on the floor for Lincoln Pius X as a senior. She powered Pius to the Class B state championship. Simon, who was ranked as the No. 22 player in the nation at her position by ESPN, showed her all-around abilities during Nebraska's four-game summer tour in Australia in early August. She averaged 6.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist in nearly 30 minutes per game against the collection of Australian professional teams. A multi-sport star in high school, Simon capped her prep career by winning All Class gold medals in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles at the 2015 Nebraska State Track and Field Championships. Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said Simon’s athleticism and continual development give her the chance for an outstanding college career. "Since we first saw Maddie at our basketball camp when she was a freshman, she has improved some aspect of her game each time we’ve watched her," Yori said. "She has developed into a very good passer and shooter who will fit well in our offensive system. Maddie can get out and run, drive in transition, hit mid-range jumpers and hit the three. She has been a three-sport star in high school, and we think that athleticism will translate into being a versatile defender for us. I think she is a recruiting steal, and we couldn’t be happier that she has decided to stay in Lincoln and play for the Huskers."

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Nebraska's Big Ten History Although Nebraska competed for the first time as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, the Huskers have a relatively substantial history playing against Big Ten opponents. Nebraska's first-ever meeting with a Big Ten school came with a thrilling 68-67 overtime victory over Minnesota on Dec. 30, 1977. Two weeks later, the Huskers improved to 2-0 against the Big Ten with a 71-63 victory over Iowa at the Jennies Classic in Warrensburg, Mo., on Jan. 13, 1978. The following season, Nebraska improved to 3-0 against the Big Ten with a narrow 59-57 victory over Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Nov. 28, 1978. Overall, the Huskers carry a 76-52 all-time record against Big Ten opposition after their first four seasons of Big Ten Conference competition. Nebraska is 52-25 against Big Ten foes in its first four seasons in the conference, including 44-22 in Big Ten regular-season play. The Huskers captured the 2014 Big Ten Tournament title by going 3-0 in Indianapolis. The Huskers are 8-3 all-time in the Big Ten Tournament and 6-1 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Under Coach Connie Yori, the Huskers have posted a 57-33 record against the Big Ten. The Huskers have been exceptional on the road in Big Ten play in their first four seasons in the conference, posting a combined 29-15 record away from Lincoln.

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Huskers Claim Fourth Straight NCAA Bid In some ways, the 2014-15 season marked the end of an era for the Nebraska women's basketball program. In other ways, it set the tone for an exciting new beginning. The Cornhuskers' 2014-15 campaign marked the conclusion of the careers of four outstanding seniors who joined forces four years ago to embark on the most successful stretch in Nebraska history. Emily Cady, Brandi Jeffery, Tear'a Laudermill and Hailie Sample came to Nebraska for the start of the 2011-12 season as the first top-25 recruiting class in school history. They left their mark on Coach Connie Yori's program as the winningest class in school history, claiming 96 wins. In addition to averaging 24 wins per season, the 2015 Husker seniors became the first NU class to earn four consecutive NCAA Tournament bids and post four straight 20-win seasons. The 2015 seniors opened their Nebraska careers by making a memorable tour through Scandinavia in the summer of 2011, before leading the Husker program into its first Big Ten Conference campaign as freshmen in 2011-12. During their four years at Nebraska, they welcomed a new practice home at the Hendricks Training Complex. They celebrated the end of Nebraska women's basketball's successful run at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, and opened the doors of the new Pinnacle Bank Arena for the 201314 season. The 2015 seniors helped carry Nebraska to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16, before capturing the first conference tournament title in school history with the 2014 Big Ten crown. They advanced to the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, before closing their careers against Syracuse in the first round of the Big Dance in Columbia, S.C., on March 20, 2015. The 2015 seniors also set the tone for the future of the Husker program in other ways. "In four years, I don't think Emily Cady ever had a bad practice," Yori said. "That is really amazing when you think about it. Not only did she come to play and start all 132 games of her career, but she brought the same mental toughness, effort and work ethic to practice every day. Her consistency and competitiveness make her a winner, and it also helped make her teammates better every day she was in our program." Cady, a 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., also left her mark throughout the Nebraska record book. She tied the school record with 132 starts and finished second in minutes played. She ranked second in NU history and ninth all-time in the Big Ten with 1,114 rebounds. Her 115 career blocks ranked fifth in Husker history, while her 305 assists tied for 11th. Her assist total was the highest by a post player in NU history. She wrapped up her career ranked 13th at Nebraska with 1,461 points, as the first player in program history to achieve the combined career milestones of 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 300 assists. Cady, who finished fourth all-time at Nebraska with 33 double-doubles, averaged a double-double as a senior with 12.7 points and 10.2 rebounds. She joined Laudermill as the only Huskers to start every game for a 2014-15 squad that battled injuries and illness throughout the season. Laudermill led Nebraska with 436 points, 45 steals and 58 three-pointers in 2014-15. The 5-9 guard from Moreno Valley, Calif., averaged 13.6 points per game, while adding 3.4 rebounds as a senior. She finished fifth in school history with 157 career three-pointers, while ranking 19th all-time with 1,133 points. The 6-1 Sample made the move from wing to power forward for the Big Red in 2014-15. The Flower Mound, Texas, native excelled on the block, shooting a school-record 61.1 percent from the field to rank second in the Big Ten. One of the

Nebraska seniors Tear'a Laudermill (#1), Brandi Jeffery (#13), Hailie Sample (#3) and Emily Cady (#23) set a school-record with 96 victories in their four seasons in Lincoln. nation's top all-around defenders, Sample averaged 7.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as a senior. She also finished her Husker career tied for third with 131 career starts, while ranking 10th with 717 career rebounds. While Cady and Sample started for four years, Laudermill joined them as an All-Big Ten honoree her final two seasons. Jeffery became a regular starter for the first time as a Husker senior. The 5-7 guard from Vacherie, La., stabilized the NU backcourt while helping to replace much of the rebounding load lost by the graduation of 2014 first-team All-American Jordan Hooper. Jeffery, who entered her senior season averaging just 1.9 rebounds per game in her career, pulled down 6.7 boards while adding 7.8 points per contest. Jeffery also matched Laudermill with 45 steals. "Our four seniors grew as players every year at Nebraska, but what is much more important is that they grew every year as people," Yori said. "They all will graduate from Nebraska ready to contribute as productive citizens, and hopefully young women who are ready to take on any challenge they face in their lives." The four seniors joined returning All-America point guard Rachel Theriot in a starting five that was hopeful of gaining support from a deep and talented bench. Nebraska's 2014-15 newcomers were ranked as the best class in school history - No. 9 nationally according to ESPN. But that depth was tested early with a foot injury to Chandler Smith. The 6-0 guard from Brewster, Wash., contended for a starting job before being forced to the sideline for Nebraska's first five games. Despite Smith's absence, the Huskers opened the year with 100 points in a home win over Pepperdine on Nov. 15. After another victory over Alcorn State at Pinnacle Bank Arena the next day, the Big Red hit the road for the first time and avenged a 2013-14 loss to Washington State with an impressive 82-61 run past the Cougars in Pullman on Nov. 19. The Huskers returned to the court at the Devaney Center for the first time since 2012-13 with a 66-43 run past Utah on Nov. 23. Nebraska used that game to honor its 1988 Big Eight Championship team, while wearing replica throwback uniforms.

After a memorable Sunday at the Devaney Center, the Huskers headed to California for Thanksgiving to take on UCLA. The Bruins, who featured the nation's No. 1 recruiting class, were hungry to avenge a 2013-14 season-opening loss to Nebraska in the debut of Pinnacle Bank Arena. UCLA bolted to a 16-point lead, but Theriot rallied Nebraska to a 71-66 victory. The 6-0 junior scored 24 points while adding eight rebounds and seven assists to move the Huskers to 5-0. Nebraska was victorious despite the absence of freshman Natalie Romeo, who missed the first of eight games with a foot injury. Romeo, a 5-7 guard from Martinez, Calif., had been NU's top guard off the bench through the Huskers' first four games. With Romeo out until Big Ten play, the Huskers welcomed the debut of Smith two days later when they returned home to face Northern Colorado on Nov. 30. Theriot kept the Huskers unbeaten with 25 points, six rebounds and four assists in a 63-56 win over the Bears. UNC went on to win 22 games. While the Huskers were victorious, the return of Smith was short-lived. She played just three minutes against the Bears before her pain returned. She would not come back until Jan. 15, leaving the Huskers without two of their top reserve guards. The news on the injury front got worse three days later, when NJCAA All-America forward Anya Kalenta was forced to the sideline with a leg injury. Kalenta had averaged 6.2 points and 3.0 rebounds through Nebraska's first six games despite starting the season with a broken nose. Kalenta's injury left the Huskers without three of their top 10 players as they moved into an ACC/ Big Ten Challenge battle with No. 9 Duke on Dec. 3. Despite the challenges, the short-handed Huskers improved to 7-0 with a 60-54 win over the Blue Devils in front of 7,571 fans at Pinnacle Bank Arena and a Big Ten Network television audience. Theriot led the Big Red with 17 points, while Sample added 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting. Cady pitched in a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. The win kept the Huskers in the top 15 in both national polls despite a 53-51 setback at Alabama on Dec. 7. Despite a poor shooting day for the Huskers, Laudermill nearly carried the Big Red back from an eight-point second-half deficit by tying

Seniors Produce Fourth 20-Win Season the school-record with seven threes. Laudermill finished with 25 points, but no other Husker had double figures, as NU hit just 35.7 percent of its shots and 50 percent (3-6) of its free throws. Nebraska returned to Lincoln with a 7-1 mark and more bad news, as freshman guard Jasmine Cincore was forced to the sideline with an ankle injury. Fellow freshman Kaylee Page chose to leave the Huskers for personal reasons the next day, leaving Nebraska with only walk-on Emily Wood available from its highly touted class of newcomers for the rest of non-conference play. A Nebraska roster of just seven healthy scholarship players returned to take on in-state rival Creighton in Omaha. In a game televised nationally by FOXSports1, the Huskers prevailed 60-57 over the Bluejays on Dec. 11. Two days later in Lincoln, Wood sparked an 18-0 run with a highlight reel reverse layup to rally Nebraska to a 54-45 victory over a Bakersfield team that went on to win 23 games. NU closed a 10-1 non-conference campaign with an 83-57 run past a 20-win High Point team on Dec. 20. Theriot erupted for a season-high 31 points, while Laudermill pitched in 22 points over the defending Big South champions. With nine days off before the start of Big Ten play, the Huskers hoped to have Romeo and Kalenta back for the conference opener at Minnesota. Both players returned to practice after a holiday break, but a flu-like virus ended Nebraska's plans for a healthier start to conference play. Romeo, Kalenta, Esther Ramacieri and Darrien Washington were all struck by the illness, leaving the Huskers with just six available scholarship players against the Golden Gophers in Minneapolis. The Huskers raced to a 17-point lead, but foul trouble late in the game that culminated with Sample fouling out, allowed the Gophers to rally for a 72-69 win. Romeo returned for Nebraska's next game against No. 14 Maryland on Jan. 3. The Huskers were tied with the eventual Big Ten champions at halftime, but went ice cold in the second half. At 0-2 in the Big Ten, the Huskers needed a win badly at defending Big Ten co-champion Michigan State. The Huskers trailed 66-60 with three minutes left, before Cady scored seven points in an 11-1 rally down the stretch. She finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Sample added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists. Sample sealed the win with a huge defensive rebound and two free throws with 5.4 seconds left. The road win at Michigan State started a fivegame winning streak that included a similar rally behind Theriot in a 58-53 win at Illinois on Jan. 11. A 73-45 win over defending Big Ten cochampion Penn State showcased Romeo with 18 points on six three-pointers. The Jan. 15 win also featured the returns of Cincore, Kalenta and Smith to the court for the Huskers. With a mending roster and increasing depth, the Huskers powered past Purdue (69-59), before sprinting to an 89-72 victory at Wisconsin on Jan. 22 for their fifth straight win. It also set up a top-20 showdown at Iowa in a rematch of the 2014 Big Ten Tournament title game. Nebraska led by double digits midway through the second half, but the Hawkeyes rallied to tie the game in regulation before prevailing 78-72 in overtime in Iowa City. The Huskers were disappointed with the loss, which was their first to Iowa in nine games as Big Ten foes, but they returned to Lincoln to notch a 59-57 win to complete a season sweep of Illinois on Jan. 29. Romeo provided the highlight with a huge three-pointer from the corner with just over a minute left to give the Big Red their only lead and the victory. Nebraska improved to 17-4 by opening February with a 75-60 victory over Michigan. The Huskers trailed 31-25 at the half before erupting

for a season-high 50 second-half points against the Wolverines. Laudermill led the Big Red with 19 points, while Sample added 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Cady contributed nine points, eight rebounds and five assists, while Theriot orchestrated the Big Red win with 14 points and six assists. At 17-4 overall and 7-3 in the Big Ten, the Huskers appeared ready for another fantastic February to join unbeaten months in both 2013 and 2014. But disaster struck quietly in practice on Feb. 3. Theriot injured her ankle without much, if any contact. She continued to try to return to the court for the next two weeks, before undergoing seasonending surgery on Feb. 19. With no time to plan or regroup, the Huskers lost East Coast road games at No. 21 Rutgers (4643, Feb. 5) and No. 5 Maryland (59-47, Feb. 8). They returned home for a 69-61 loss to No. 14 Iowa. Romeo, who earned starts in place of Theriot against Maryland and Iowa, then sparked the Huskers to a 70-63 win over Wisconsin on Feb. 15. In addition to 21 points and four assists from Romeo, the Big Red got 20 points and a career-high seven assists from Laudermill against the Badgers. After losing their fourth straight road game to an NCAA Tournament team at Northwestern on Feb. 18, the Huskers held off Indiana 59-51 in Bloomington on Feb. 21. Cady was huge with 22 points, 12 rebounds and four assists against the Hoosiers, while Romeo sealed the win with four straight free throws down the stretch. The win at Indiana set up a rematch with Minnesota in Lincoln on Feb. 24. Romeo, who missed the loss in Minneapolis with illness, made the Gophers sick to their stomachs by burying six threes to finish with 21 points. Cady added 17 points and nine rebounds to continue her domination of Minnesota All-America center Amanda Zahui, as NU outscored the Gophers 42-22 in the second half. The win over the NCAA Tournament-bound Gophers gave the Big Red their 20th win of the

Most Valuable Offensive Player: Rachel Theriot Most Valuable Defensive Player: Tear'a Laudermill Kathy Branchaud Most Improved Rebounder: Brandi Jeffery Husker Award: Emily Cady Teammate Award: Emily Wood season and nearly guaranteed a fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament. If any doubts existed about NU's NCAA resume' after a Senior Day loss to NCAA Tournament-bound Ohio State on March 1, the Huskers silenced them with an 86-71 pounding of Illinois in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament in Hoffman Estates, Ill., on March 5. Romeo electrified the Sears Centre Arena crowd by tying the school record with seven threes on her way to a career-high 26 points. The Illini's "Buzz" defense was no match for a balanced Big Red attack that dished out a season-high 24 assists and shot a sizzling 61.7 percent from the field. The Huskers' stay in Chicago ended with a 74-65 loss to No. 14 Iowa, before earning a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska faced No. 8 seed Syracuse in the first round at Columbia, S.C., and suffered a narrow 72-69 defeat. The three-point loss ended the careers of the Husker senior class, but their legacy will continue with the return of Theriot in 2015-16. She will be joined by Kalenta in the coming senior class, while juniors Allie Havers and Esther Ramacieri will provide more leadership to a group of sophomores hoping to be healthy from wire-to-wire in 2015-16, while welcoming another top-10 recruiting class to Lincoln. "I think the really telling thing about the character of the seniors in our 2015 class is that they don't want to hold the record for wins very long," Yori said. "They want every class after them to break that record. That is the challenge that lies ahead for our players."

Emily Cady (left) and Tear'a Laudermill earned All-Big Ten honors to help Nebraska become the only school to post four consecutive winning seasons in conference play. The Huskers own a Big Ten-best 52 wins over conference foes over the past four years.

Game Highlights: Emily Cady erupted for a careerhigh 25 points to go along with nine rebounds to power No. 16 Nebraska to a 66-43 win over Utah in the Huskers’ return to the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Rachel Theriot added 20 points, six rebounds, six assists and four steals in a tremendous allaround effort on a day when the Big Red honored the members of NU’s 1988 Big Eight Championship team by wearing vintage uniforms. While Cady and Theriot combined to provide enough offense to win for the Huskers, Nebraska’s defense set the tone for the game. The Big Red held Utah to just one field goal and three points in the game’s first 11 minutes, jumping to a 17-3 lead. The Utes, who opened the season with 100 points against San Jose State, finally hit double digits with 4:40 left in the first half, as NU built a 31-8 lead. Nebraska’s lead grew as large as 27 points in the second half, despite the Huskers hitting just 42.2 percent of their shots, including just 25 percent of their three-point attempts.

Blocked Shots: Northern Colorado 0; Nebraska 0. Turnovers: Northern Colorado 18; Nebraska 9. Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Forsberg, Rezac, Schroeder. Attendance: 4,975. Game Highlights: Rachel Theriot scored 15 of her game-high 25 points in the second half to shoot No. 15 Nebraska to a 63-56 win over previously unbeaten Northern Colorado at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Theriot scored eight of Nebraska’s final nine points in the game’s last four minutes to help the Huskers hold off a scrappy Bears’ team that went on to the Postseason WNIT. The Big Red jumped to a 26-5 lead to open the game thanks to 14 first-half points from Emily Cady. She finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds to notch her second double-double of the season. However, the Bears hit five consecutive three-pointers to shoot their way back into the game, trailing just 38-35 at the half. UNC took a brief lead after five straight points from Amber Van Deudekom to open the second half made it 40-38 Bears. Van Deudekom finished with a career-high 20 points. But NU rallied behind Theriot, who produced her third consecutive 20-point scoring effort, while adding six rebounds and four assists.

3FG: Nebraska 8-20 (Laudermill 7-15, Theriot 1-1, Cady 0-1, Cincore 0-1, Jeffery 0-2); Alabama 6-18 (Middlebrook 2-5, Bolton 1-1, Knight 1-3, Hegstetter 1-4, Cook 1-4, Rivers 0-1). 3FG%: Nebraska 40.0; Alabama 33.3.

Attendance: 2,562. Game Highlights: Tear’a Laudermill tied a school record with seven three-pointers, but Nikki Hegstetter’s putback with 2.5 seconds allowed Alabama to knock off No. 12 Nebraska, 53-51, at Foster Auditorium. Laudermill hit six of her seven threes in the second half, including five in the first eight minutes after halftime to help NU erase a fivepoint halftime deficit. However, Alabama withstood Laudermill’s long-range barrage to take a 50-42 lead with four minutes left. Nebraska rallied again, tying the game at 51 on Laudermill’s seventh three of the game with 18.1 seconds left. Laudermill finished with 25 points on 7-of-15 three-point shooting, while adding six rebounds, three assists and two steals. No other Husker contributed double figures, as Laudermill went 7-of-14 from the field in the second half and the rest of the Huskers combined to go just 3-for-16. Rachel Theriot managed nine points, while Brandi Jeffery pitched in eight points and seven rebounds. Karyla Middlebrook led the Crimson Tide with 14 points, while four Alabama players added seven or more points in a defensive struggle.

3FG: Nebraska 3-7 (Cady 2-3, Jeffery 1-3, Laudermill 0-1); Creighton 10-20 (Akin-Otiko 6-6, McGrory 2-4, Janning 1-2, Lamberty 1-4, Leytem 0-1, Works 0-1, Johnson 0-2). 3FG%: Nebraska 42.9; Creighton 50.0.

Game Highlights: Emily Cady produced her fourth double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Rachel Theriot added 16 points and nine assists to lead No. 12 Nebraska to a 60-57 win at Creighton. Cady had 12 points and seven rebounds in the first half, while Theriot pitched in 10 points and six first-half assists to help NU jump to a 33-17 halftime lead. Nebraska controlled the glass from start to finish, outrebounding the Jays, 36-23, thanks in large part to a then-career-high 12 rebounds from Brandi Jeffery, who added five points and four assists. NU, which hit 53.2 percent of its shots for the game, was able to withstand a furious second-half rally by the Jays, who got five second-half threes from Alexis Akin-Otiko. She went 6-for-6 from three-point range for the game to finish with a game-high 23 points. As a team, the Jays hit 55.2 percent of their shots in the second half, including 7-of-10 threes, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Big Red from improving to 9-1 over the last 10 games of the series. Hailie Sample buried 3-of-4 free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the win, and Allie Havers came off the bench to score eight big points, including a pair of clutch jumpers in the final five minutes.

Her second pushed NU’s edge to 45-40, before the second of Brandi Jeffery’s two threes on the day made it 48-40 with 6:03 left. Nebraska’s nine-point final margin was its largest lead of the day.

Game Highlights: Emily Cady scored seven points in a decisive 11-1 Nebraska surge in the final three minutes to fuel the Huskers’ 71-67 comeback win at Michigan State. Cady, who finished with a team-high 16 points, capped NU’s big rally from a 66-60 deficit with 3:02 left, by converting a three-point play with 30 seconds remaining to give the Big Red a 69-67 lead. Nebraska followed with a defensive stop that included a crucial rebound by Hailie Sample. She was immediately fouled and calmly stepped to the line with 5.4 seconds left to drain a pair of free throws and seal the victory. Sample finished with 13 points and five boards. The two Husker senior forwards combined for 11-of-13 shooting from the floor and 7-of-9 free throws for the game. They added 12 rebounds and nine assists, while teaming for 15 of NU’s final 17 points. Brandi Jeffery, who scored eight of her 10 points in the second half, added the only other bucket in the final eight minutes for the Big Red, a huge layup with 2:15 left to trim MSU’s lead to 67-64. She added six rebounds, three assists and three steals. Rachel Theriot pitched in 13 points, seven assists and five boards to help the Huskers overcome a career night by Spartan star Aerial Powers. She erupted for 35 points, including 7-of-12 threes, to go along with 11 rebounds.

Game Highlights: Rachel Theriot scored 20 of her game-high 27 points in the second half to rally No. 19 Nebraska from a 45-38 deficit for a 58-53 win at Illinois. The Huskers won despite hitting just 36.2 percent of their shots, including 2-of-11 three-pointers. Theriot hit both of those threes and finished 10-of-25 from the floor for the game. She scored 11 of NU’s final 15 points, as the Huskers closed the game on a 15-4 surge over the final 6:30. Theriot’s jumper with 4:41 left tied the game at 51, before her jumper with 3:06 remaining gave the Big Red the lead for good. Tear’a Laudermill added nine points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals, while Hailie Sample pitched in seven points and nine rebounds. Brandi Jeffery contributed nine boards of her own along with five points. Emily Cady led a huge Husker effort on the glass, grabbing 12 boards to go along with six points. As a team, Nebraska outrebounded Illinois, 46-34, while matching the Illini with 12 turnovers. The Huskers held Illinois to just 35 percent shooting for the game, but the Illini did hit six threes. NU outscored Illinois 14-5 at the free throw line, as the Huskers committed just eight personal fouls. It marked the second straight Big Ten road win in which the Huskers rallied from six points down with less than nine minutes left.

Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Trammel, Grinter, Bob Enterline. Attendance: 2,436. Game Highlights: Emily Cady notched her ninth double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds, but No. 19 Nebraska could not overcome the absence of All-America point guard Rachel Theriot or 22 percent shooting in a 46-43 loss at No. 21 Rutgers. Cady hit 4-of-7 shots from the field and Allie Havers came off the bench to go 2-for-3 to finish with five points. While Cady and Havers combined to go 6-for-10, the rest of the Huskers went a combined 9-for-58. Tear’a Laudermill scored 16 points while matching her career high with seven rebounds to go along with four steals, but hit just 5-of-28 shots from the floor, including 4-of-17 threes. Brandi Jeffery added seven points and nine boards, but hit just 3-of-11 shots. Despite NU’s shooting struggles, which included just 17.6 percent shooting and 17 first-half points, the Huskers hung with the Scarlet Knights down to the wire at The RAC. NU trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half and by nine points with just over six minutes left in the game. The Huskers cut the lead to two in the second half and had several chances to tie late in the game but were unable to hit a gamechanging shot.

Game Highlights: Tear’a Laudermill produced a gamehigh 16 points to lead the Huskers in scoring for the sixth straight game, but No. 19 Nebraska dropped a 59-47 road loss at No. 5 Maryland at the Xfinity Center.

Freshman Natalie Romeo added eight points in her third career start, while fellow freshman Chandler Smith added career bests with seven points, seven rebounds and 24 minutes. Smith’s floater with just under three minutes left in the first half gave Nebraska its last of three first-half leads at 22-21. Maryland, which was held to a season-low 59 points, finished the half strong to take a 29-24 lead to the locker room. Nebraska trailed 43-37 with 7:30 left and had the ball in transition when a foul was called on Allie Havers in the backcourt after Natalie Romeo crossed halfcourt with the dribble. The call stopped NU’s transition, and Maryland responded with an 11-0 run after a timeout.

Game Highlights: Tear’a Laudermill scored 16 of her game-high 20 points in the second half to rally No. 21 Nebraska from 24 points down with 14 minutes left to a six-point deficit with two minutes to play, but Northwestern held on for a 59-51 win at WelshRyan Arena. With the victory, the Wildcats notched their 20th win of the season for the first time since 1996-97. Nebraska struggled through one of the worst first halves in school history, managing just 12 points on 3-of-28 shooting (.107) from the field. The Huskers trailed 29-12 at the half and fell behind 43-19 midway through the second half before rallying. The Huskers held Northwestern to just one field goal in a 10-minute stretch in the second half and used 8-0 and 11-0 runs to cut into the Cat lead. Laudermill and Natalie Romeo, who finished with 13 points, combined on three consecutive three-pointers to pull NU within 48-40 with four minutes left, the closest the game had been since Northwestern jumped to an 8-0 lead to start the game. Nebraska trimmed the margin to six points on three occasions in the final three minutes but was unable to get closer, as the Wildcats hit six straight free throws down the stretch to seal the win. Brandi Jeffery managed six points, seven rebounds and three assists, while Emily Cady, Hailie Sample and Allie Havers all pitched in four points.

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.

Big Red Build Title Tradition in Big Ten NU was also back in the top 25 in the national attendance rankings, averaging more than 4,000 fans per game. The Huskers also produced the biggest win in school history with a 103-99 triple overtime victory over eventual national champion Baylor at Devaney on Jan. 12. Nebraska made a third straight Postseason WNIT trip in 2005-06, again featuring Hardy as a first-team All-Big 12 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

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. 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. 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."

2015-16 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Huskers Own Four STraight NCAA Bids 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 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. 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,''

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.

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 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

All-Americans Call Nebraska Home tournament in Fargo, N.D.; and finished by winning two consolation games at the National Women's Invitational Tournament at Amarillo, Texas. "We are only a couple of tall girls away from winning a national championship,'' Nicodemus said after his first year. Nicodemus, whose duties also included the softball program, became a paid coach his second season at Nebraska, receiving an annual salary of $12,000. The Huskers finished 20-14 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 loss at Nebraska-Omaha in the first round of the state tournament. The UNO game was Nicodemus' last as NU's coach. Dr. June Davis, who had served for two years as women's sports information director at the university, succeeded Swofford as women's athletic director and set about replacing Nicodemus. 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 points during her career 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. 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.

Jordan Hooper earned first-team WBCA AllAmerica honors after being named the 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year. Hooper was also a starter on the USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team that won gold in Russia in the summer of 2013.

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, just over 100 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 coached Nebraska to the 1996 NCAA Tournament before leaving for the fledgling (and now defunct) American Basketball League after the 1996-97 season. She 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. Led by Anna DeForge, the 1997-98 squad tied thenschool 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 under Coach Yori. 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 add two more Nebraska High School Players of the Year to their roster in 2015-16, with Jessica Shepard (2013, 2014) and Maddie Simon (2015) joining the Big Red. Shepard and Simon lead a freshman class that was ranked as the top recruiting class in school history. It was NU's second straight top 10 recruiting class. 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.

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 Bob Devaney Sports Center on March

The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., not only finished in a tie for No. 4 in Big Ten Conference history in three-pointers made, she was also one of only two players in Big Ten history to achieve the combined milestones of 2,300 points and 1,100 rebounds. She was the first Husker to ever accomplish that feat. Hooper, who tied Kelsey Griffin's school record with 40 career double-doubles, became Nebraska's first Big Ten Player of the Year in 2014, joining Griffin

(Big 12, 2010), Karen Jennings (Big Eight, 1993) and Maurtice Ivy (Big Eight, 1988) as the only Huskers to claim conference player-of-the-year awards. As a senior, Hooper became the third first-team All-American in Nebraska history, joining fellow 2,000-point scorers Jennings (1993) and Griffin (2010). A standout on the court, in the classroom and in the community, Hooper was one of five Senior CLASS Award first-team All-Americans. She was a second-team All-American by the Associated Press before being selected by Tulsa with the No. 13 pick in the WNBA Draft. Hooper led the Big Red to the most successful three-year stretch in school history. NU finished with a 26-7 overall record during Hooper's senior season. The Huskers played for a share of the regular-season Big Ten title in the final game of the year for the second straight season before settling for third with a 12-4 league mark in 2013-14. NU played for a share of the regularseason crown on the way to a 25-9 mark and a 12-4 league mark in 201213.

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 Besiktas (Turkey) in 2014-15, averaging 13.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Hooper earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Nebraska in May of 2014.

1985-88 5-9 Forward/Guard Omaha, Nebraska (Central)

2,131 POINTS (3) Honors & Awards

• Big Eight Player of the Year (1988) • Three-Time First-Team All-Big Eight (1986, 1987, 1988) • Two-Time Big Eight All-Tournament Team (1987, 1988) • Nebraska Jersey Retired (2011) • Nebraska All-Century Team (2000) • No. 3 on Nebraska Career Scoring List (2,131) • No. 2 on Nebraska Single-Game Scoring List (46 vs. Illinois, Dec. 30, 1986) • No. 5 on Nebraska Career Blocked Shot List (104) • Tied for No. 7 at Nebraska in Career Double-Doubles (21) • No. 8 on Nebraska Career Rebounding List (778) • No. 8 on Nebraska Career Steals List (215) One of the most athletic players in Nebraska history, Maurtice Ivy was the first player in Husker history to surpass the 2,000-point barrier. Ivy, who became the second Husker to have her jersey retired (Jan. 16, 2011), joins fellow 2,000-point scorers Karen Jennings (No. 51, 1994) and Kelsey Griffin (No. 23, 2014) in being honored with giant banners featuring their names and numbers on display at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Ivy was one of five players chosen to Nebraska's All-Century Team in February of 2000, and one of the "25 Women of Distinction" selected in 1999-2000 as part of the school's silver anniversary of women's athletics. The athletic wing player from Omaha Central High School was the first Husker to earn Big Eight Player-of-the-Year honors after leading Nebraska to the Big Eight title in 1988. Ivy also earned a spot on

the Big Eight All-Tournament team in 1986-87 and 1987-88. A three-time first-team All-Big Eight pick, Ivy's 19.2 points per game rank second on Nebraska's career charts, while her 778 career rebounds rank eighth on the Huskers' all-time list. She is also tied for seventh in Husker history with 21 career doubledoubles, including 10 as a sophomore in 1985-86. Although Ivy was only 5-9, her outstanding leaping ability and court awareness made her a fierce shot blocker, as she ranks sixth on Nebraska's all-time list with 104 blocked shots. Ivy also ranks, second in career field goals made (847) and attempted (1,799), third in free throws made (431), tied for fourth in free throws attempted (570) and eighth in career steals (215). Ivy's 23.6 points per game average in 1986-87 rank as the second-best single-season scoring average in school history, and her 683 points as a junior rank as the fourth-highest total at Nebraska. Her 153 made free throws and 196 free throws attempted in 198687 were single-season Nebraska records until Kelsey Griffin and Dominique Kelley both eclipsed those marks in 2009-10. Ivy produced one of the greatest performances in Husker history when she erupted for 46 points in Nebraska's 100-87 loss to Illinois at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif., on Dec. 30, 1986. It was one of eight 30-point scoring efforts in Ivy's career, including a pair of 35-point performances against Oklahoma and Kansas in 1987. She added the eighth-best rebound total in school history with 19 boards to go along with 23 points in a 104-63 win over Brigham Young at the Illinois Invitational in Champaign, Ill., on Dec. 14, 1985. She also had 29 points and 14 rebounds at Iowa State on Feb. 22, 1986. Along with leading the Huskers to their first conference title, Ivy guided Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988.
