2010 NCAA TOURNAMENT NO. 1 SEED | INTRODUCTION
4 | nebraska women's basketball | 2010-11
Big 12 Conference The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 15th season in 2010-11. Since it began play in 1996-97, the conference can boast 38 team crowns and 440 individual NCAA Championships. In basketball, six women’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons. Nebraska Coach Connie Yori was a unanimous choice for National Coach-of-the-Year honors, while Husker forward Kelsey Griffin gave the conference a consensus women's basketball All-American for the 10th straight season. Griffin also won the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for her exceptional commitment to success on the court, in the classroom and the community. Nebraska rolled to the regular-season conference title with the first undefeated season (29-0) by a men's or women's team in league history before being one of four league school's to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16, including Final Four qualifiers Baylor and Oklahoma. Nebraska also led the Big 12 in conference attendance last year, attracting more than 11,000 fans per game for its eight home contests, helping the league lead the nation in women's basketball attendance for the 11th straight season. On the men’s side, nine conference schools have reached the Final Four in the past eight years, and six teams have reached the regional finals in the past three seasons. Big 12 squads enjoyed a strong year across the board in 2009-10. Oklahoma State won the NCAA men’s cross country title while Texas captured the national championship in men’s swimming and diving. Texas A&M secured men's and women's outdoor track and field championships, and the Big 12 had the No. 1 team in the nation at some point during the 2009-10 season in nine different sports. Five Big 12 volleyball teams, including perennial national power Nebraska, competed in the regional semifinals of the NCAA Championships in 2010, the first time that has happened in conference history. The Big 12 also had a school play for the BCS National Championship (Texas) for the seventh season. Oklahoma finished second nationally at the NCAA women’s gymnastics finals - an all-time high for the Big 12 - while Oklahoma State placed second at the men’s golf championship. Iowa State was third at the NCAA wrestling championships and the Big 12 also placed a team in the College World Series in both softball (Missouri) and baseball (Oklahoma). The individual honors also continued, as Jenny Barringer (Colorado) earned The Bowerman Award, presented for the first time to the most outstanding collegiate women’s track and field athlete. In fact, all three women’s finalists were from the Big 12. Caroline Hedwall (Oklahoma State) was named the recipient of the Honda Sports Award as the nation's top female golfer after capturing the NCAA individual title. Lisa Koll (Iowa State) earned the Honda Award as the top collegiate female athlete in track and field. The Big 12 has had four Heisman Trophy winners in its 14-year history. In 2008, the Big 12 established a high-water mark, as for the first time in the 74-year history of the Heisman four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma). The league followed that recognition with two of the top five finalists, including Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, in 2009. During the past six seasons a total of 16 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the conference, including each of the past 13 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with its seven appearances in BCS title games. Seven league squads have played for the football national championship in the last 10 years with berths in 17 BCS games overall. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) earned countless accolades for her work away from competition, being named the Academic All-America of the Year for all sports in both 2006-07 and 2007-08. She was also named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year, the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 249 scholars have received over $1.6 million in postgraduate financial aid. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, swimming and diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.

The Nebraska women's soccer guide finished in the top 10 four straight seasons, including a thirdplace finish in 2000. His 2003-04 women's basketball guide was voted "Best in the District" and 11th in the nation, after finishing 12th and winning "Best in the District" honors in 2001-02. Over the last 10 years, Nebraska's publications and posters have earned more than 180 national publication awards from CoSIDA.

media services & information Broadcast rights
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Husker Sports Network own exclusive radio broadcast rights to all of the University of Nebraska women's basketball games. Other than the Husker Sports Network and the University of Nebraska student station (KRNU), the only stations or networks that will be allowed to broadcast Nebraska games from the Bob Devaney Sports Center are those that have rights to broadcast games played by the opposing team. All radio stations and networks broadcasting from the Bob Devaney Sports Center must be approved by the University and are subject to a rights fee. Any representative of a radio station or network that has not purchased such rights shall not air live game action or description of any game while it is in progress, nor shall such representatives air tape-recorded or live commentary of Nebraska coaches or players for one hour before or after a game. Only stations that have purchased broadcast rights may install telephones on press row, or use telephones on press row for reporting on games. By accepting media credentials, representatives of stations and networks that have not purchased broadcast rights signify their agreement to the above stipulations. Nebraska provides four modular telephones in the Bob Devaney Sports Center Press Room. All long distance calls must be credit card, collect or billed to a third-party number. Any media source wishing to place a telephone on press row should contact University of Nebraska Telecommunications at (402) 472-2000 at least two weeks before the game.
Broadcast Telephone lines Media are welcome to have their own telephone lines installed on press row and may do so by contacting University of Nebraska Information Services (402) 472-2000. However, the Husker Sports Network installs additional telephone lines for visiting official broadcasters or teams and charges a fee for the use of those lines for nonconference games (Big 12 official stations receive the use of the lines free of charge as part of a cooperative). Other stations interested in securing other lines should contact UNL Information Services at (402) 472-2000.

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 12 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 student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/ friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTEREST (I.E. BOOSERS), 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

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 studentathlete 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 student-athlete 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 reduced-fee 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 course, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a studentathlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a "special" arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan). BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16 Q: What types of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate? A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event. Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible? A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, NCAA BYLAW 12 For further information regarding NCAA Guidelines for Athletic Representatives, please contact the athletic compliance office at (402) 472-2042 or 1-(800) 927-7220.

Huskers challenge nation's best Nebraska will face another challenging schedule in 2010-11. NU's Strength of Schedule has been ranked among the top 30 nationally in each of the past three seasons, and the Big 12 has offered the No. 1 conference RPI in the country the last three years. A total of 18 regular-season games will come against teams that competed in 2010 postseason tournaments, including nine games against 2010 NCAA Tournament teams.
Final Four Flavor Nebraska's home schedule features four games against teams that advanced to at least the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament, including Final Four qualifiers Oklahoma and Baylor. The postseason atmosphere will be on display at the Devaney Center from the opening tip-off of the season, as the Huskers open the year with 2010 NCAA Tournament qualifiers Vermont on Nov. 13. Miami, the 2010 WNIT runner-up, will come to Lincoln on Nov. 17, before WNIT qualifier Saint Mary's visits the Devaney Center on Nov. 20. Oklahoma will visit Nebraska for the start of Big 12 Conference play on Jan. 8, before 2010 NCAA Sweet 16 participant Iowa State comes to the Devaney Center on Jan. 26. Final Four foe Baylor comes to Lincoln for a mid-week test on Feb. 9.
Homecourt Advantage Nebraska carries a 20-game homecourt winning streak into the 2010-11 season, including a perfect 16-0 mark in 2009-10. The Huskers will put that streak to the test during the opening week of the season, when three straight 2010 postseason qualifiers visit the Devaney Center to open the season, Nov. 13-20. NU opens with Vermont (NCAA Second Round) on Nov. 13, before battling Miami (WNIT Runner-up) on Nov. 17. The season-opening homestand closes with Saint Mary's (WNIT) on Nov. 20. All three foes won at least 20 games last season, and Nebraska defeated all three on the road a year ago.

14 | nebraska women's basketball | 2010-11
Kelley, Moore Ready to Lead Young Team Coming off the most successful season in Nebraska women's basketball history, the challenges facing the 2010-11 Huskers will be great. Nebraska must replace six seniors, including three first-team All-Big 12 selections led by first-team AllAmerican Kelsey Griffin. The 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, Griffin was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft and a WNBA All-Rookie selection. Fellow forward Cory Montgomery was also a first-team All-Big 12 pick and a third-round choice in the 2010 WNBA Draft before continuing her professional career in Spain. Guard Yvonne Turner added first-team all-conference honors and was the 2010 Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. She also continued her career as a professional in Australia. Nicole Neals, Kala Kuhlmann and Nikki Bober all played major roles in helping Nebraska to four straight postseason tournaments, including three NCAA bids during their careers at Nebraska. The six-player 2010 senior class led Nebraska to the Big 12 title, a 32-2 record and a 16-0 Big 12 mark. The Huskers claimed the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region in the 2010 NCAA Tournament field and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. "Obviously, last year's senior class was a special group, and they had an outstanding senior season," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "They deserved everything they received because they worked so hard for it. At the same time, those seniors had a lot of help from the rest of our players in the program, both the players who came before them, and the ones coming after them."
Redmon appeared in all 34 games as Nebraska's top post off the bench and averaged 4.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in just over 15 minutes per game. She also solidified herself as one of the best shot-blockers in Nebraska and Big 12 history by averaging 1.9 blocks per contest. She enters her senior season ranked No. 3 on Nebraska's career block chart with 139, while appearing in 81 career games with 24 starts. "Cat will need to be a force for us inside on the defensive end again this year," Yori said. "But we're not necessarily looking for blocked shots. She needs to be an anchor at the back of our defense, and she needs to continue to find ways to score for us in order for us to be successful."
More Starts In the Backcourt
While Kelley and Redmon give the senior class 122 career starts, junior Kaitlyn Burke has also made 19 career starts in the Husker backcourt. Burke, who joins Kelley, Redmon and Jessica Periago as fourth-year players in the Husker program, was granted an additional year of eligibility after appearing in just six games for NU last season. Burke, who battled a nagging foot injury throughout the summer of 2009 and the non-conference season last
year, was a part-time starter for the Huskers as a true sophomore in 2008-09. The 5-7 guard from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, averaged 4.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists while making 19 starts as a sophomore, despite playing much of the season with a broken and dislocated finger on her shooting hand. Burke also played in all 33 games off the bench for the Huskers as a true freshman, contributing 5.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists, despite being limited by a dislocated finger on her shooting hand. Burke, who was a first-team academic All-Big 12 pick in 2009 and has been a member of the Canadian National program for several years, also brings strong leadership skills to the Husker backcourt. "Kaitlyn's injuries have been frustrating to her because they have slowed her development," Yori said. "She is an extremely hard-working and competitive person, and her foot injury basically forced her off the court. That was hard for her, and I know she is really hungry to contribute this season."
Expect More from Moore
Nebraska sophomore Lindsey Moore returns with Kelley as a full-time starter from the Huskers' 2009-10 backcourt. Moore, a 5-9 point guard from Covington,
Kelley at the Core
Although Nebraska loses a six-player 2010 senior class and three senior starters, the cupboard is far from bare for the 2010-11 Huskers. Dominique Kelley is expected to provide experience, leadership and stability in her fourth year in Nebraska's starting lineup. The 5-7 guard out of Lincoln Northeast High School earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors as a junior, when she averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Kelley, who has made 98 consecutive starts since her freshman season in 2007-08, enters her senior year needing just 62 points to become the 26th player in Nebraska history to join the 1,000-point club. Kelley produced one of the best NCAA Tournaments in school history last season when she averaged 18.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game during the postseason. She hit 18-of-30 shots from the floor and 16-of-22 free throws in the tournament, producing back-to-back career-high 22-point efforts against both No. 22 UCLA and No. 19 Kentucky. "Dominique has outstanding leadership qualities," Yori said. "She not only leads by her example both on and off the court, but she is also a vocal leader. She has had an excellent offseason leading our basketball team, and we are hoping she has a great senior season."
Another Senior Starter
Kelley isn't the only senior with starting experience. Catheryn Redmon earned 24 starts for the Huskers as a sophomore in 2008-09. The 6-3 center from Grand Prairie, Texas, averaged 5.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game for NU two seasons ago. Redmon continued her impressive defensive dominance inside last year, while stepping into a reserve role behind NU's All-Big 12 forwards Griffin and Montgomery.
Three-year starter Dominique Kelley returns to lead the Nebraska backcourt in 2010-11. An honorable-mention All-Big 12 selection in 2010, Kelley has started 98 straight games and scored 938 points in her first three seasons at NU.

Hooper Headlines New Crop of Huskers
Sophomore Lindsey Moore returns after starting all 34 games at point guard for the Huskers last season. Moore averaged 9.7 points and 6.0 assists in 2010 NCAA Tournament play.
Wash., claimed a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team by averaging 6.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Moore's numbers continued to climb throughout the season, and she was at her best during the NCAA Tournament. In postseason play, Moore averaged 9.7 points and 6.0 assists, while hitting 5-of-8 three-pointers. Moore became one of six freshmen in Husker history to start every game (joining Kelley on that list), while her 154 assists ranked third on NU's freshman chart. She also hit 24 three-pointers on the season, which tied for fifth all-time among NU freshmen. "Lindsey was definitely a major factor in our run last season, and she has a lot of potential," Yori said. "She is a natural leader on the court, and that will show more for us this year. She also has the ability to score more for us, which we'll probably look for her to do this season."
Periago Works for Bigger Role
Nebraska's third senior, Jessica Periago, has also provided significant contributions during her first three years in Lincoln. The 6-4 center from Toulon, France, appeared in 29 games off the bench for NU last season and has played 63 career games. Last season, Periago provided a solid defensive presence for the Huskers while adding 1.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in just under 10 minutes per game. Periago also had career-best totals in rebounds, assists, blocks and steals last season, while continuing to show her ability to hit the three-point shot. "We are going to need Jess to continue to show her improvement this season," Yori said. "She has worked hard to make herself a better player, and we are going to count on some more production from her on both ends."
Big Red Depth
Last season, Nebraska was one of the deepest teams in the nation, with eight players competing in all 34 games and two more Huskers competing in at least 24 contests. Layne Reeves, a 5-11 sophomore guard from Lubbock, Texas, provides more experience to a veteran backcourt in 2010-11. Last year as a redshirt freshman, Reeves played 24 games and hit 8-of-15 three-point attempts.
Junior Harleen Sidhu will also look for greater contributions in her third season in the NU program. The 6-1 forward from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, has displayed flashes of her offensive explosiveness. Last year, she averaged 2.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in just 5.2 minutes per game over her 12 contests. Sidhu, who was slowed by an ankle injury early last season, scored 10 points and had three rebounds in just seven minutes against Washington State in Lincoln. Sophomores Katya Leick and Meghin Williams combined for 23 appearances off the bench as true freshmen forwards a year ago. "Our bench will not be as experienced as it was a year ago, when we knew we had two senior guards coming off the bench in Nicole Neals and Kala Kuhlmann, who were actually like starters," Yori said. "We do have some experienced players though, which should help ease the transition for our freshmen."
Hooper Headlines Freshmen
Jordan Hooper - her name screams basketball player. As the 2008 and 2010 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, Hooper's game is more than her name. The 6-2 freshman forward from Alliance, Neb., produced approximately 2,000 points, 1,300 rebounds, 400 steals, 350 blocks and 200 assists in high school. An honorable-mention WBCA High School AllAmerican, Hooper was a three-time All-Nebraska and Super-State selection for the Alliance Bulldogs. While Hooper's numbers speak volumes, it is her extreme athleticism that might be even more impressive. "Jordan is one of the best players to ever come out of our state," Yori said. "She is extremely athletic and versatile. She is more than just a good athlete, she has great basketball skill. She can score on the low block and off the dribble. She can shoot the three and is a very good ball-handler and passer for her size." Freshman Rebecca Woodberry could also make an immediate impact. The 2010 Arizona High School Player of the Year, Woodberry averaged 25.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game while leading Phoenix Tolleson Union to the 2010 state title. The 5-10 guard could provide instant explosiveness
at both ends to a deep and talented Husker backcourt. "Becca is a skilled guard who can score in a variety of ways. She shoots the three well, gets to the basket, scores in the post, scores on offensive rebounds and is great in transition. She has great attention to detail and we are hoping she can guard multiple positions for us. She is a perfect fit for our up-tempo style." Katie Simon could continue NU's recent tradition of producing hard-working and physical forwards. Simon, a 6-2 freshman forward from Roseville, Calif., averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game as a high school senior in suburban Sacramento last year. A relentless worker, Simon could help fill the void inside left by the departures of Griffin and Montgomery. "Katie is a very mobile post who fits our transition style on both offense and defense," Yori said. "She plays with a continuous motor, has range to 15 feet and can guard multiple positions on the floor." Fellow freshman post Adrianna Maurer may also provide immediate help on the block for the Huskers. The 6-3 center out of Bishop Miege High School in the Kansas City metro area can score on the block and hit the mid-range jumper. "Adrianna is a very good low-block scorer and rebounder and has range to 15 feet," Yori said. "She came to our camp and showed the ability to score on the low block against bigger players." Kellie McCann-Smith rounds out the five-player freshman class. The 5-9 guard from Asotin, Wash., was a two-time Class 2A first-team All-Washington pick at Clarkston High School. McCann-Smith shot the Bantams to a state tourney berth in 2010 by scoring 38 points in a win over Cheney, while breaking Clarkston High School career records for both points and three-pointers made. "Kellie is a scoring combo-guard who is extremely competitive," Yori said. "She can shoot the three or create shots off the dribble."
Chances to Grow Up Fast
Nebraska's schedule will provide a young crop of Huskers plenty of room to grow. NU's pursuit of an eighth consecutive postseason tournament bid will be lined with postseason-caliber competition from start-to-finish. In fact, Nebraska opens the season at home against 2010 NCAA second-round qualifier Vermont at the Devaney Center on Nov. 13. The Huskers will try to extend a 20game homecourt winning streak against the Catamounts, before facing 2010 WNIT runner-up Miami in the second game of the season on Nov. 17. NU will make it three straight 2010 postseason opponents and three straight 20-game winners when the Huskers welcome Saint Mary's to the Devaney Center on Nov. 20. Overall, Nebraska will play eight non-conference games against 2010 postseason teams, including 2010 NCAA second-round qualifiers Vermont and Marist, and 2009 NCAA runner-up Louisville. During the Huskers' final season in the Big 12, they will battle 2010 NCAA Final Four participants Oklahoma (Jan. 8) and Baylor (Feb. 9) at the Devaney Center. Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M all advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, giving the Huskers nine games against last season's top 32 teams. Overall, the Huskers will play 18 regular-season games against 2010 postseason clubs. "Our schedule has ranked among the top 30 in the nation the past three years, and we're pretty sure that will continue this year," Yori said. "Our schedule will give our young players a crash course in college basketball at the highest level."

Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's emerging programs under Coach Connie Yori. Over the past seven years, the Huskers have made a school-record seven straight postseason tournament appearances and averaged 21 wins per season. In 2009-10, Nebraska shot into the national spotlight, capturing the Big 12 Conference title with the first perfect regular season by a men's or women's team in league history (29-0). After tying the conference record with a 30-game winning streak, the Huskers captured their firstever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. NU climbed as high as No. 3 in the national rankings before advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16. Nebraska finished among the top eight teams in both major national polls and closed the year with a 32-2 record and a 16-0 Big 12 mark. Senior forward Kelsey Griffin captured the school's first Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, presented to the nation's outstanding student-athlete. Griffin was also a unanimous first-team All-American and a finalist for every National Player-of-the-Year award. A three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection, Griffin was the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year and the No. 3 overall pick in the WNBA Draft.
“Our players have driven the rise of our program. Nebraskans like a team that plays with great heart and great character. We've got really good character women in our program right now. I feel like character really counts.� Connie Yori Nebraska Head Coach THIS IS NEBRASKA | 2010 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS
BASKETBALL Griffin formed the heart of a six-player senior class that included first-team All-Big 12 selections Yvonne Turner and Cory Montgomery, who was also a third-round pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft. All six of Nebraska's 2010 seniors earned academic honors from the Big 12 during their careers. All six also claimed their degrees before leaving the NU program, continuing Nebraska's 100 percent rating in the NCAA's Graduation Success Report. For her work building the Huskers, Yori captured the 2010 WBCA, AP, USBWA, Naismith and Kay Yow National Coach-of-the-Year awards, along with 2010 Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Nebraska's exceptional fan base responded to the Huskers in award-winning fashion as well. In 2010, NU led the Big 12 by averaging 11,383 fans over its eight conference home games. For the season, the Huskers ranked seventh nationally with 7,390 fans per game, including a school-record sellout crowd of 13,595 against Missouri on Feb. 27, 2010. Nebraska fans embrace NU's student-athletes, and the Huskers return the favor by giving back to the community through their award-winning Life Skills program. In fact, Nebraska women's basketball has twice been honored as NU's most dedicated team to the overall Life Skills program.
“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.� Connie Yori Nebraska Head Coach NO. 7 NATIONALLY IN HOME ATTENDANCE IN 2009-10 | THIS IS NEBRASKA

NCAA TOURNAMENT EXCITEMENT
Nebraska has earned seven straight postseason tournament berths heading into the 2010-11 season, including three NCAA Tournament bids in the past four years. 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 nine NCAA Tournament trips in school history (1988, 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2010) and owns five NCAA Tournament victories.
“The NCAA Tournament is the reward for all our hard work, and it is great to celebrate with the Husker fans and watch them travel and support us.” Dominique Kelley, Nebraska Class of 2011 2010 Honorable-Mention All-Big 12
“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.

WNBA EXPERIENCE
Nebraska players have made an impact in recent years in the WNBA. In 2010, 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. Fellow Husker forward Cory Montgomery was also chosen in the third round of the 2010 WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. She continued her professional career in Spain in 2010. In 2008, another Nebraska forward earned a WNBA spot, as Danielle Page (bottom right) claimed a spot with the Connecticut Sun as a free agent. Page spent the entire 2008 season with the Sun before heading overseas to continue her professional career. In 2007, three-time first-team All-Big 12 guard Kiera Hardy (bottom left) was drafted in the third round by the Connecticut Sun. Hardy did not earn a final roster spot with the Sun, but spent the 2007-08 season playing professionally in Iceland. She also played professionally in Europe in 2008-09, along with Page and former Husker Chelsea Aubry. Aubry has also enjoyed success at the national level, helping the Canadian National Team to trips to the World Championships in 2006 and 2010. A team captain, Aubry has been a National Team member since 2005. Anna DeForge (top right) enjoyed a long professional career after earning All-America honors at Nebraska in 1998. DeForge spent the 2009 season with the Detroit Shock after playing for the Minnesota Lynx in 2008. DeForge was an all-star for Indiana in 2007, after earning her first all-star nod with the Phoenix Mercury in 2004. The Huskers' first-ever WNBA player was Nebraska native Nicole Kubik. The 5-10 guard from Cambridge was Nebraska's first WNBA first-round pick in 2000, before making her professional debut later that season for the Phoenix Mercury.

DEVANEY CENTER HOMECOURT EDGE The Bob Devaney Sports Center is the home of Nebraska women's basketball. Named after legendary football coach and athletic director Bob Devaney, the Sports Center has given the Huskers a major homecourt advantage. In fact, Nebraska enters the 2010-11 season with a 20-game home winning streak after going a perfect 16-0 at home last season. Over the past three seasons Nebraska is 41-6 at home with nine wins over top-25 teams at the Devaney Center. Husker fans have helped the Big Red rank among the top 10 percent of teams nationally in average home attendance for more than a decade. In 2009-10, the electric crowds helped create a magical experience at the Devaney Center, as NU averaged a Big 12-best 11,383 fans per league game. A schoolrecord crowd of 13,595 helped Nebraska celebrate a Big 12 title with a win over Missouri on Feb. 27, 2010. NU ranked seventh nationally in attendance with 7,390 fans per game. The University of Nebraska provides its women's basketball program with some of the best support in the country. In 2011, the Huskers will welcome the addition of the Hendricks Training Complex to the South side of the Devaney Center. The Hendricks Training Complex will provide a new practice facility for men's and women's basketball, along with new locker rooms, team areas and coaches offices.

HUSKER POWER
The model strength and conditioning program in the nation, Husker Power plays a major role in the continuing success of Nebraska athletics. Nebraska’s strength program was the first in the nation.

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 comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70 tutors addressing all subject areas.

If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

educational ledger
• Hastings College, 1959 (Bachelor’s Degree, History) • Nebraska, 1963 (M.A. in Educational Psychology) • Nebraska, 1965 (Ph.D. in Educational Psychology) Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past three seasons. With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program as a whole, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first three years as athletic director. In 2009-10, Nebraska finished 17th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup final standings, the Huskers’ best showing since 2000-01. One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign as NU’s defensive coordinator, has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with back-to-back nine-win seasons and a pair of Big 12 North Division titles in his first two years. In 2009, Pelini notched 10 wins, including a dominant 33-0 win over Arizona in the Holiday Bowl while finishing in the top 15 in both major national polls. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed a pair of Big 12 titles and advanced to three NCAA Elite Eight appearances, while the women’s basketball program has earned two NCAA Tournament trips, while notching the best season in school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top 16 at three straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s track and field team has captured a pair of Big 12 outdoor crowns, while the men’s and women’s teams have produced five top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past three years. The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams both produced top-10 NCAA finishes in 2010, while the Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past three years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in the last three years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010. The women won the first NCAA match in school history while the men made their first-ever tournament appearance. The Husker softball team has made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, while the baseball and women’s golf teams both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008. In addition to their competitive success, the Huskers have continued to set high standards academically at both the conference and national levels. Nebraska led the Big 12 with eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2009-10, increasing NU’s nation-leading total to 277 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 178 academic all-conference selections, along with a conference-record 687 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 121 student-athletes from August of 2009 through May of 2010, while increasing its Big 12-leading exhausted eligibility graduation rate to 94 percent. The Huskers also have continued to set the standard on the national level in the area of life skills. In 2010-11, Nebraska will open its new Student Life Complex, which is designed to help Husker student-athletes maximize their performance in the classroom and the community. The Student Life Complex is the first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s athletic facilities. In the summer of 2010, the athletic department broke ground on the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which will directly benefit the men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling programs with new practice and team areas. The project is also expected to lead to additional opportunities for improved facilities for many other Husker Olympic sport programs. The Hendricks Training Complex is scheduled to open before the 2011-12 season.
ADMINISTRATION | 2010 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS
In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Haymarket Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14. Not long after the historic vote in Lincoln, Osborne helped Chancellor Harvey Perlman announce an even more historic move with the shift by Nebraska from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011-12. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come. Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season. In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998. Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons. Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

Marc
BOEHM
Kansas State l 1984 • Executive Associate Athletic Director (Seventh Year)
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 marketing, media relations, HuskerVision, facilities and events. Boehm also oversees the Nebraska men's and women's basketball programs and the Husker soccer program. He also played a major role in the athletic department's negotiations for its 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 Doc Sadler to be the Huskers' new coach on Aug. 8, 2006. Sadler had the Huskers on the brink of the postseason in the final weeks of the campaign and then signed a recruiting class ranked among the top 15 in the nation by several services. Boehm has worked tirelessly with Fox Sports Net and the Big 12 Conference to provide the men's basketball team with an extensive television package each of the past six seasons. His efforts in providing a fan-friendly atmosphere at the Bob Devaney Sports Center have helped Nebraska to record-setting attendance for women's basketball at the Devaney Center. Under Boehm's supervision, Coach Connie Yori's women's basketball team enjoyed the best season in school history in 2009-10. The Huskers made their seventh straight postseason trip, advancing to the school's first NCAA Sweet 16. Yori captured 2010 National Coach-of-the-Year honors by leading the Huskers to a Big 12 record-tying 30game winning streak and the 2010 Big 12 regular-season title. NU ranked in the top 10 in the final national polls and seventh nationally in home attendance with 7,390 fans per game. In Big 12 play, NU led the league with 11,383 fans per game. The men have added three postseason trips during Boehm's tenure, including a trip to the 2009 Postseason NIT. Boehm's efforts to enhance NU's gameday atmosphere were not restricted to the basketball programs. He was instrumental in conceptualizing and developing the Husker Nation Pavilion, which quickly became 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 ALLTEL, 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 new men's (Jamie Dixon) and women's basketball (Agnus Berenato) and soccer (Sue-Moy Chin) head coaches for the Panther program. Under Dixon's direction, the Panthers have advanced to eight straight NCAA Tournaments, while Berenato has rejuvenated the women's program with three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2007 to 2009. 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.

"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." "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." – Nebraska Coach Connie Yori
Coach Connie Yori continues to lead an exciting phase of sustained growth in the Nebraska women's basketball program entering her ninth year in Lincoln. Yori guided the Nebraska program to its best season in school history in 2009-10, leading the Huskers to their firstever 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 also 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 ranked in the top 10, but spent nine straight weeks in the top 10 to end the regular 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 final offficial NCAA RPI. NU also finished No. 4 in the final Associated Press Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25. Yori, who earned national coach-of-the-year honors from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, Associated Press, U.S. Basketball Writers Association, 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 the first Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year award of her career. Bolstered by the return of first-team All-American and 2010 Big 12 Player-of-the-Year Kelsey Griffin, the Huskers dominated the opposition in 2009-10. In addition to the conference honors won by Griffin, who claimed her third first-team All-Big 12 accolades, Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner claimed the first first-team All-Big 12 awards of their careers. Turner was also named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, while Griffin joined Turner on the All-Big 12 Defensive Team. Junior guard Dominique Kelley added honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades. Lindsey Moore, the 2009 Washington High School Player of the Year, was also named to the Big 12's All-Freshman Team after leading NU to 32 wins as a starting point guard. 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. Overall, the Big 12 Conference offered 10 of the 36 WNBA draft picks in 2010. In addition to Nebraska's incredible rise to prominence on the national scene, the Huskers became a marquee attraction at the Devaney Center and across the Midwest. Nebraska led the Big 12 by averaging 11,383 fans per game during eight conference home games, while shattering the school's previous attendance records. For the season, Nebraska ranked seventh nationally with an average home attendance of 7,390 fans per game, while drawing a school-record seven consecutive crowds of more than 10,000 to close the season. That streak included the school's first-ever capacity crowd of 13,595 at the Devaney Center for Nebraska's win over Missouri on Feb. 27, which included a Big 12 regular-season title presentation and the cutting down of the nets at the Devaney Center for the first time since 1988. Although Nebraska's meteoric rise on the national landscape seemed like an overnight success story with national headlines in USA Today, The New York Times and even Sports Illustrated, along with unprecedented exposure from ESPN, the Huskers' climb has been anything but a quick fix.
COACHES | 2010 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS
Instead, Yori has spent eight years building Nebraska brickby-brick with painstaking detail into a force to be wreckoned with on the Big 12 and national levels. Yori's success at Nebraska has come as a result of her commitment to helping student-athletes have outstanding all-around collegiate experiences on the court, in the classroom and in the community. Yori's approach involves helping create an atmosphere of terrific team chemistry with players and coaches who genuinely care about each other. "We believe that the success level of our team has improved because we have focused on bringing in the highest quality of student-athlete. 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." When Yori first arrived at Nebraska in the summer of 2002, the Huskers were coming off back-to-back losing seasons. Left with just a handful of healthy, 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 during their time at Nebraska, 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 third-ever 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 All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin to an ankle injury before the season began. The Huskers were dealt a further blow inside with the loss of junior 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. In addition to the losses of Griffin and Bober inside, the Huskers played the entire season without freshman shooting guard Layne Reeves, who was rehabilitating from a knee injury suffered during her senior season of high school. Despite the early setbacks, Yori helped the Huskers adjust to new roles while developing new young leaders on the court. Her guidance helped Nebraska become one of the hottest teams down the stretch in Big 12 Conference play. In fact, Nebraska went 5-2 in its last seven regular-season Big 12 games and finished as one of just five league schools to close the second half of conference play with a winning record. NU joined NCAA Final Four qualifier Oklahoma, NCAA Elite Eight participant Iowa State, NCAA Sweet 16 qualifier Texas A&M and Big 12 Tournament champion Baylor as the five schools to notch winning records in the league over the last eight regular-season games. 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. Amazingly, Nebraska's seventh-place regular-season league finish was one spot higher in the standings than NU's projected finish by the conference coaches before the season, when those coaches thought Griffin would play. Nebraska's season was not only highlighted by top-25 victories over Arizona State and Kansas State, the Huskers also played one of the nation's toughest schedules. The Huskers played 19 games against 2009 postseason tournament qualifiers, including Big Ten champion and NCAA Sweet 16 participant Ohio State, along with road games at perennial powers LSU and New Mexico during the non-conference season. Nebraska's success came despite featuring the most inexperienced starting lineup in the Big 12. The conference was one of the most veteran leagues in 2008-09 with 24
HUskers.com | 55
senior starters across the league, including 14 four-year starters. Nebraska's regular lineup was the only one that did not feature a senior throughout the season, as NU's lone active senior, Tay Hester, started just 18 of the Huskers' 31 games. In Griffin's absence, Cory Montgomery emerged as a rising star in the Big 12, ranking among the top 10 in the league in scoring and rebounding. In her first season as a starter, Montgomery earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors by averaging 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Yvonne Turner also increased her production on the offensive end, averaging 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest while again leading the Huskers in three-point shooting and steals. Turner's explosiveness on the defensive end earned her a second straight spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team. 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 backto-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 the best schedule in school history. NU played 24 of its 33 games against 2008 postseason tournament teams, including 16 games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Nebraska's strength of schedule ranked No. 24 nationally heading into postseason play. Despite Nebraska's 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 teams that won first-round games in the NCAA Tournament. Along the way, Nebraska became one of only three Big 12 schools - joining Baylor and Oklahoma - to post four straight .500 or better league seasons. Yori's Huskers have established themselves as a force in the Big 12 North, posting a 36-14 record against North foes over the past five regular seasons - the best mark among the six North Division teams during that stretch. Iowa State is
32-18 during that same stretch, while Kansas State is 30-20. Not only has Nebraska gained recognition for averaging 21 wins per year over the past seven seasons, the Huskers have also distinguished themselves as one of only a handful of schools in the 64-team NCAA Tournament field to produce a perfect 100 percent graduation rate. In fact, the 2010 Huskers were one of only 19 schools in the NCAA Tournament to achieve the feat. In 2008, NU was one of only 12 schools in the tournament field to accomplish the mark. In 2009-10, Nebraska led the conference with six first-team academic All-Big 12 selections. Griffin and Kala Kuhlmann earned first-team academic All-Big 12 recognition for the third time in their careers, while Montgomery earned first-team honors for the second time with her third overall pick. Fellow seniors Nicole Neals and Nikki Bober also earned first-team academic honors, Nebraska Coach Connie Yori with her husband, Kirk Helms, and their son, Lukas. while junior Jessica Periago was Yori's 2002-03 club struggled to an 8-20 record, but named to the first team for the second straight year. In addition, Montgomery and Neals her first recruiting class made an immediate impact in her second season. both earned their bachelor's degrees from NU in just 3 1/2 The 2003-04 squad featured four returning senior starters years, while Nebraska's four other seniors were all scheduled and made one of the largest improvements in NCAA Division I to graduate in May of 2010. basketball by finishing with an 18-12 record, despite playing The Huskers also continued to demonstrate unsurpassed 19 games against 2004 postseason clubs. community involvement.

The win came in front of a national television audience on Fox Sports Team Award on two occasions. Individually, Griffin earned national recognition as Nebraska's first Lowe's Senior CLASS Net and marked the highest-ranked team the Huskers had ever defeated at the Devaney Center. NU added a 7-9 Big 12 Award winner in any sport.

and helped the Huskers advance 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 guided 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 also became 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 season-ending knee injury. Despite the setback, NU ran to a 19-13 overall record, including an 8-8 Big 12 mark, while advancing to the Postseason WNIT for the third straight year. 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. The Huskers' 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 2005-06, and finished the year with a 7-3 mark against North schools, before adding another 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 powerful 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, making her a shining example of Nebraska's concept of total person development. Aubry, a captain and member of the Canadian Senior National Team, added honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors as a senior. She also earned academic All-Big 12 honors and served on Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee with Griffin. Nebraska's success against North Division opponents continued in 2006-07, as the Huskers posted an 8-2 mark against North foes - the best record of any North team. Nebraska's rise has followed continued recruiting success. Yori's first group of recruits included Hardy and Aubry. Yori's second group included 2008 senior Danielle Page, who spent the 2008 WNBA season with the Connecticut Sun. 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
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 the Huskers' first Big 12 regular-season title. Nebraska tied the Big 12 record with a 30game winning streak and advanced to the 2010 NCAA Sweet 16.

and state of Washington Gatorade Player of the Year Lindsey Moore, along with California high school standout Meghin Williams and Minnesota star Katya Leick. 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 may live up to the lofty expectations created by the success of the Huskers' 2010 senior class. NU's most recent class includes two-time Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year and WBCA honorablemention All-American Jordan Hooper from Alliance, along with Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year Rebecca Woodberry. California standout Katie Simon, Kansas City center Adrianna Maurer and Washington prep star Kellie McCann-Smith. 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 regular-season 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 47-year-old native of Ankeny, Iowa, produced a 170115 (.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.

A Conversation with Coach Connie 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. I think character encompasses a lot of things. We want to be committed to recruiting studentathletes 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.

Dominique
kelley 5-7 l Senior l Guard Lincoln, Nebraska (Lincoln Northeast)
Outlook (2010-11)
One of the top prep players in Nebraska high school history, senior Dominique Kelley hopes to put the finishing touches on an outstanding collegiate career in 2010-11. The 5-7 guard out of Lincoln Northeast High School has started 98 consecutive games in her Husker career, and could set the NU record for games started and consecutive starts as a senior. However, she underwent a microscopic procedure on her left knee on Sept. 29, after knee pain kept her off the court for most of September. Kelley needs 62 points to become the 26th Husker in to reach the 1,000-point mark. The only Lincoln native on NU's 1,000-point list is Jan Crouch, who scored 1,183 points from 1976 to 1979. An honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick as a junior, Kelley is NU's top returning scorer after averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 2009-10. She was even better in the NCAA Tournament, matching AllAmerican Kelsey Griffin for the team lead with 18.3 points per game while leading NU to its first NCAA Sweet 16. "Dominique is an excellent on-the-ball defender and fits in very well with our defensive philosophy. Offensively, we will continue to work on finding more ways for her to score this season." Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She also has a great personality and is the kind of player that makes everyone around her better."
Junior (2009-10)
An anchor in Nebraska’s backcourt for the third straight season, Kelley produced one of the best NCAA Tournaments in school history, averaging 18.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game to help Nebraska to its first-ever NCAA Sweet 16. Kelley ended her junior season with back-to-back career-high 22-point efforts against No. 22 UCLA and No. 19 Kentucky. In three tournament games, Kelley hit 60 percent (18-30) of her shots from the field including 3-of-4 three-pointers and 16-of-22 free throws. Kelley closed the year with five straight double-figure scoring efforts and 15 in her last 18 games. She averaged 13.4 points over the final 18 contests, including 16.8 in the final five games. She ranked second on NU’s season free throws made list with 165, trailing only Kelsey Griffin’s school-record 189 in 2009-10.

Catheryn
redmon 6-3 l Senior l Center Grand Prairie, Texas (Mansfield Timberview)
Outlook (2010-11)
Catheryn Redmon enters her senior season as one of the top shot-blockers in school history. Redmon, who came off the bench for all 34 games last season in support of All-Big 12 forwards Kelsey Griffin and Cory Montgomery, has a chance to return to the starting role she occupied as a sophomore in 2008-09. The Huskers will look for Redmon to continue to be a defensive force, while adding rebounding and scoring production inside. "Catheryn is a very athletic post player who runs the floor extremely well for her size," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She is our best low-block defender as a true 5-player, which means we don't have to double the post as much. That makes our team defense better."
Junior (2009-10)
Redmon returned to a reserve role with the return of All-American forward Kelsey Griffin. Redmon averaged 4.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and a team-leading 1.9 blocks per contest, which ranked 51st nationally and tied for third in the Big 12. Redmon enjoyed a 10-point, eight-rebound, sevenblock effort in just 18 minutes in a win over Albany on Dec. 30. Her seven rejections tied her career high. She moved
to third on NU’s career block list with 139, while setting NU’s single-season mark for juniors with 63 on the year. She had a career-high 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in a win over South Dakota on Dec. 3. She added seven rebounds, three blocks and an assist in just 18 minutes. Redmon had 12 points, four boards, three blocks and two steals in NU’s win at Miami, again hitting 6-of-7 shots from the field. She had eight points, 10 boards and four blocks against Washington State, and eight points and nine rebounds at UNLV. She added eight points, eight boards and four blocks against Northern Illinois. She had eight points, five rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes against No. 12 Texas A&M.
Sophomore (2008-09)
Redmon stepped into a starting role and established herself as one of the best shot-blockers in Husker history. She started the first game of her career just days after two-time All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin underwent season-ending ankle surgery on Dec. 4. Redmon made her starting debut against 2008 and 2009 Big Ten Conference Player-of-the-Year Jantel Lavender and Big Ten champion Ohio State. Redmon scored 10 points, grabbed two rebounds, blocked two shots and added a steal against Lavender

and the Buckeyes. Defensively, she frustrated Lavender throughout the game until Redmon was forced to the bench with foul trouble midway through the second half. The Buckeyes, who went on to the 2009 NCAA Sweet 16, escaped from the Devaney Center with a 69-65 win. Redmon went on to average 5.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game on the year while making 24 consecutive starts to close the season. She averaged 23.2 minutes per game, including 28.5 minutes in Big 12 action. Redmon averaged 5.8 points and 6.1 boards in Big 12 games, while ranking third in the conference with 2.8 blocks. While Redmon's talent was a bit raw on the offensive end, she wowed crowds with her dominant defense. She closed the year with 67 blocked shots - the third-highest total in Husker history trailing only Danielle Page's schoolrecord 78 in 2007-08, and NU career block leader Janet Smith's 69 in 1979-80. Redmon's block total was even more amazing considering she had only three rejections in NU's first seven non-conference games while playing a total of just 56 minutes in those contests. In her 24 games as a starter, she averaged 2.7 blocks per contest, including 3.7 blocks per game in Nebraska's final nine games of the season.

SIDHU 6-1 l Junior l Forward Surrey, British Columbia, Canada (Fleetwood Secondary)
Outlook (2010-11) Harleen Sidhu (pronounced SIH-doo) hopes to make a greater impact on the Husker lineup with the graduation of All-Big 12 forwards Kelsey Griffin and Cory Montgomery. Last season, Sidhu showed significant improvements from her freshman season, but a preseason injury limited her practice and playing time early in the year. Sidhu appeared in 12 games behind a talented and experienced collection of Huskers inside. When she was on the court, Sidhu was extremely productive, scoring 26 points and grabbing 20 rebounds in just 62 total minutes. She added three assists, a block and a steal in just over three full halves of basketball. "Harleen is a versatile player with solid fundamentals, and she has continued to improve in her time at Nebraska," Coach Connie Yori said. "She pays attention to the skill areas in her game. She adds some more size on the perimeter for us. She is also an outstanding person and a great student."

Sidhu averaged 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12 games, including five points and three rebounds in five minutes in an NCAA Tournament win over Northern Iowa on March 21. She also appeared in NU’s win over Kansas State in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals on March 12. Sidhu had 26 points and 20 rebounds in just 62 minutes on the year. Those numbers translate to 16.8 points and 12.9 rebounds per 40 minutes. She made her first appearance of the season against Idaho State on Nov. 19, then erupted for a career-high 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field against Washington State on Nov. 22. In seven minutes off the bench against the Cougars, Sidhu hit 2-of-3 threepointers and pulled down three rebounds. Sidhu played but did not score in NU’s win at Saint Mary’s, when she distributed the first assist of her career. She added another assist and her first blocked shot of the season, while grabbing four rebounds in seven minutes in the Huskers’ win over South Dakota on Dec. 3. Sidhu saw her most extensive action of the year with 12 minutes in NU’s run past Albany on Dec. 30.

Outlook (2010-11)
Freshman (2009-10)
After producing one of the best seasons for a Nebraska freshman guard in school history, Lindsey Moore returns as a leader to the Husker backcourt in 2010-11. The 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., claimed a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team by leading the Huskers to the conference title and the first unbeaten regular season in Big 12 history. Moore averaged 6.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, while setting an NU freshman record with 34 starts. Her 154 total assists also ranked No. 3 all-time among Husker freshmen. With the departure of a trio of first-team All-Big 12 players (Kelsey Griffin, Cory Montgomery, Yvonne Turner) from last year's team, Moore will be counted on for more scoring as a sophomore. She will also help shoulder some of the leadership responsibilities in the Husker backcourt along with returning senior starter Dominique Kelley and junior guard Kaitlyn Burke. "Lindsey is a classic floor leader. She is an excellent passer and decision-maker as a point guard, and she can score in a variety of ways," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "I love her competitiveness on the court, and she is also a great student off the court."
Moore stepped into Nebraska’s starting five after earning Washington High School Player-of-the-Year honors in 2009. Not only did Moore earn a starting job for all 34 games and one of five spots on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team, she continued to show her improvement throughout the season. She averaged 8.9 points, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals over the final 11 games, while shooting 50.8 percent (31-61) from the field, including 50 percent (14-28) from three-point range and 81.5 percent (22-27) from the free throw line during that stretch. Moore, who notched nine double-figure scoring efforts on the year, produced double digits in six of NU’s last 11 games. She had a career-high 18 points against No. 13 Iowa State Feb. 17, when she hit a career-best four three-pointers. She averaged 6.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game as a freshman. Moore ranked third on NU’s freshman assist chart (154) and was the first Husker since 2005-06 to record 100 or more assists in a season. She also tied for fifth on NU’s freshman three-point made list with 24. In Big 12 play, Moore was even better, averaging 6.6 points, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game. In

The 5-9 guard averaged 15.7 points and 7.5 assists per game as a high school senior to earn first-team all-

She has a good intelligence for the game and she adds size at the guard spot. She also has outstanding character and is a strong student in the classroom."

Katya
Leick
6-1 l Sophomore l Forward Grey Cloud Township, Minnesota (Park)
Outlook (2010-11) Katya Leick (pronounced KAH-tee-uh LIKE) got a taste of Division I basketball as a true freshman a year ago, while helping the Huskers to a Big 12 title and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16. The 6-1 sophomore forward from Grey Cloud Township, Minn., averaged 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds off the bench in 10 games a year ago. She suffered an ankle sprain in practice before NU's home finale last season that has limited her offseason workouts. Leick is expected to be limited when full workouts begin at the start of the season. “Katya's ankle injury has really limited her conditioning and ability to improve as a player for almost seven months," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has not been able to fully move past the injury, so she has been limited. We hope her injury can continue to improve, so she can help us both inside and on the perimeter this season."
Freshman (2009-10) Leick contributed early in her Husker career, appearing in 10 games as a true freshman. She did not play in Nebraska’s final two Big 12 regular-season games, the Big 12 Tournament or the NCAA
Tournament after suffering an ankle sprain in practice prior to NU’s home finale against Kansas on March 3. For the season, Leick averaged 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds per game for the Huskers. However, those numbers don't tell the full story of Leick's abilities. She produced 18 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals in just 58 total minutes of action. When taken over a 40-minute game, Leick's production translates to 12.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals per contest. She played a career-best nine minutes in Nebraska’s 88-67 run past No. 10 Oklahoma State on Feb. 3. She scored one point, grabbed one rebound and tied a career best by snagging one steal against the Cowgirls. Leick saw the first Big 12 Conference action of her career in Nebraska’s 89-47 win at Texas Tech on Jan. 27. She made the most of her three minutes of playing time by pumping in a career-high six points while grabbing one rebound in Nebraska’s first-ever win at Lubbock, Texas. During non-conference play, Leick scored four points against both Washington State and Idaho State, while pulling down five rebounds against South Dakota on Dec. 3. Leick has grabbed at least one rebound in nine of her first 10 career games, and produced her first career steal in Nebraska’s win over Idaho State on Nov. 19. She added

High School A Class 4A All-Minnesota pick as a senior, Leick averaged 22 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 steals per game for Park High School in Cottage Grove, Minn. A 2009 AAU All-American, Leick also earned a spot on the Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Series held April 24-25 at Macalester College and Edina High School. Her performance in the All-Star games earned her recognition as the St. Paul Pioneer Press Athlete of the Week on April 28. She was also a McDonald's High School All-America nominee. As a junior, Leick claimed honorable-mention AllMinnesota honors from the Associated Press, the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minnesota High School Coaches Association in 2007-08. She averaged 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game for Coach Stephanie Tokinen and the Wolfpack. Leick helped Park to a 25-3 record and its second straight Suburban East Conference title. A strong all-around athlete, Leick also earned four letters as a volleyball player and one in track and field.

Meghin
Williams 6-1 l Sophomore l Forward Rancho Cucamonga, California (Summit)
Outlook (2010-11) After getting a taste of Division I basketball as a freshman, Meghin Williams hopes to make a greater impact on Nebraska's inside game in 2010-11. The 6-1 sophomore forward from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., played a supporting role behind All-Big 12 forwards Kelsey Griffin and Cory Montgomery a year ago, while Nebraska rolled to an unbeaten regular season and the Big 12 title. Williams appeared in 13 games, including Nebraska's first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Northern Iowa, when she scored three points. Williams runs the floor well and has natural rebounding ability, which could help her earn more playing time this season in Nebraska's frontcourt. "Meghin has the ability to face up and shoot it, rebound and play with her back to the basket," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has improved her game over the past year, and we're hoping she can provide us with more production than a year ago. However, she missed most of the fall with a foot injury, so we're hoping she can get healthy for the start of the season."
Freshman (2009-10) Williams saw playing time early in her Husker career, despite playing behind a pair of All-Big 12 forwards
Griffin and Montgomery, and experienced centers Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago. Williams appeared in 13 games, including Nebraska’s first-round NCAA Tournament win over Northern Iowa in Minneapolis on March 21. She scored three points on 3-of-4 shooting from the free throw line in the win over the Panthers. Williams also appeared in three regular-season Big 12 contests and the quarterfinals of the 2010 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship against Kansas State. She managed 0.9 points and 0.7 rebounds per game on the year, producing 12 points and nine boards in a total of 39 minutes on the season. Williams had a career effort in Nebraska’s 88-67 win over No. 10 Oklahoma State on Feb. 3. She scored a career-high five points and pulled down a career-best two rebounds in a career-high seven minutes against the Cowgirls. She produced four points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, while grabbing one rebound in Nebraska’s run past Washington State on Nov. 22. Williams also added single rebounds in home wins over Idaho State, South Dakota and Albany. Williams saw the first Big 12 Conference action of her career when she pulled down a rebound in Nebraska’s 42-point win at Texas Tech on Jan. 27. It was NU’s first-

"Katie missed some time during the fall with a foot injury, so we're hoping to get her healthy so she can contribute for us this season."

Big Red Rising: Huskers Win Big 12 Title;
The 2009-10 Nebraska women's basketball team celebrated a year filled with firsts in program history. On NCAA Tournament Selection Monday (March 15), the Huskers celebrated with fans at the Champions Club on campus as ESPN announced Nebraska's No. 1 seed in the Kansas City Region. The Huskers appeared live on ESPN throughout the Selection Show.
In the moments following the Nebraska women’s basketball team’s season-ending loss in the Kansas City Regional semifinal on March 28, Coach Connie Yori fought back tears in the locker room while addressing her team in uniform for the final time. “I love this team,” the Big 12 Conference and National Coach of the Year said. “You know I love our pyramid and all of you define that pyramid. You have great character and mental toughness. You play with great effort and you love and respect one another. You were disciplined and communicated with each other and always stayed together. You had fun and took pride in your work and you achieved competitive excellence. I love you guys, and know this - you will always be Huskers.” It didn’t seem right for her history-making Husker team to end its season with a loss. Unfortunately, at NCAA Tournament time, only one team gets to go home with a win. However, the Huskers knew they had produced more wins than any team in Nebraska history with a 32-2 final record. The Huskers produced a dream season that spanned the longest winning streak in school and Big 12 history. The year included the school’s first Big 12 title and first NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance. Along the way, the Huskers produced the first unbeaten regular season in Big 12 history, while achieving the highest national rankings in school history at No. 3 in both the writers and coaches polls. After stretching a Big 12-record winning streak to 30 games with a second-round win at the Big 12 Tournament on March 12, the Huskers claimed the school’s first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. In a season of firsts and bests, Yori wanted her Huskers to know that a loss to a talented Kentucky team would not be the way this team would be remembered. “This loss will not define our season. In the years to

come when we look back on this year, we are going to remember everything that we accomplished,” Yori said. “But you all know I’ve said this all along, when you look back on your time at Nebraska, you won’t remember the wins and the losses. You are going to remember all the great times you had with your teammates on and off the court.” Following Yori’s brief address to her team, she offered the players a chance to say a few words of their own. All-American Kelsey Griffin, wiping away tears after her final game as a Husker, spoke to her teammates with all of the emotion of a tremendous senior leader. “I just want to thank you all for letting me play with you this year. Thank you for helping me to love playing basketball and become a better play every day,” Griffin said. “I loved playing with you, and you are always going to be my best friends and my sisters.” Yori’s approach to building team chemistry and a winning program are strikingly apparent in those final words to the greatest basketball team in Husker history. Yori, who captured every major national coach-of-theyear award in 2010, including the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), the Associated Press and
the U.S. Basketball Writers Association honors, came to Lincoln eight years ago with a major construction project on her hands. The 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year led her 10th Creighton team to the Missouri Valley title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska was coming off back-to-back losing seasons when Yori arrived in late-June of 2002, and in her first season the Huskers competed with just a handful of healthy scholarship players. In 2002-03, the Huskers struggled through the worst season in school history, posting an 8-20 overall mark and a 1-15 Big 12 record. Although the results didn’t show it, the transformation of Nebraska women’s basketball was well under way. The overmatched Huskers played with gritty determination and began to buy into Yori’s focus on work ethic. Nebraska’s transformation on the court was also apparent to the Husker faithful who continued to support the team at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. On multiple occasions in 2002-03, Big Red fans gave the Huskers standing ovations following losses. The fan acknowledgement of NU’s fighting spirit brought Yori to tears, and helped fuel the fire for upcoming success in the Husker program. From 2003-04 to 2008-09, Nebraska earned six consecutive postseason tournament berths, including NCAA bids in 2007 and 2008. The Huskers continued to show their fighting spirit in 2008-09 by winning five of their final seven Big 12 games to finish 6-10 in the league and earn a Postseason WNIT bid, despite playing the entire season without Griffin. The Huskers also suffered season-ending injuries to Nikki Bober and Layne Reeves, and key starters Cory Montgomery, Yvonne Turner and Kaitlyn Burke played through pain all year.

Race to Best Season in School History During the offseason, Turner underwent shoulder surgery, and Griffin’s status was uncertain after her second foot surgery to repair an injury suffered in August of 2008. Those injuries tempered the expectations of Big 12 coaches, who predicted a sixth-place finish for the Huskers in the preseason poll. What the coaches didn’t know was that Griffin’s second surgery was a success, and for the first time in almost a year, she was pain free. The year off not only allowed previous injuries to heal, it also fueled her fire to return to the game, while offering her coach-like insight into the game. “We knew it was important for all of us to have great offseasons, and every one of us took it to heart,” Griffin said. “We all improved, which showed our commitment to each other. I think that helped our communication and our togetherness, too. I promised the coaches they weren’t going to have to worry about effort because I was going to make sure we practiced hard and played hard. The great thing was I didn’t have to worry about it either, because every player made sure they brought it every day. That was the real secret to our success.” The offseason work resulted in the first perfect nonconference campaign in school history, which included a landmark win over No. 5 LSU in front of more than 7,000 fans at the Devaney Center on Dec. 20. Following the double-digit win over the perennial Southeastern Conference power, the Huskers rolled to a 47-point win over Albany and a 44-point win at Vermont – a team that went on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers entered Big 12 play at Iowa State Jan. 9, with a 13-0 record. The Cyclones were coming off an NCAA Elite Eight appearance and owned a 12-game winning streak of their own. The Huskers worked their way past ISU, then ran past No. 19 Texas in a shootout in their Big 12 home opener Jan. 12. With a 15-0 record and a No. 11 national ranking, the Huskers headed to Waco, Texas, for a showdown with No. 9 Baylor and national freshman-of-the-year Brittney Griner. In front of a Fox Sports Net national television audience, Nebraska powered its way to a 65-56 win over the eventual Final Four qualifiers. It was another landmark win, and the string of big-name victories created an unprecedented buzz surrounding Nebraska women’s basketball. For the next home game against Kansas State, the seventh-ranked Huskers attracted 13,303 fans. Nebraska drew more than 10,000 fans for each of its final seven home games, including a school-record 13,595 against Missouri for the first-ever women’s basketball sellout at the Devaney Center on Feb. 27. Following the win over the Tigers, the Huskers celebrated their first Big 12 regular-season title, which they had clinched with an 80-64 victory at No. 11 and eventual Final Four qualifier Oklahoma on Feb. 24. “It was so amazing to see how the community and the whole state of Nebraska joined our run this season,” Yori said. “We appreciate every fan that came to the Devaney Center this season. But we really want to thank those fans who were here in our first season. We didn’t give them much of a reason to come out and watch us, but they kept coming anyway. They were huge in helping the growth of our program.” The No. 3 Huskers completed a perfect regular
season with a road win at Kansas State on March 6, when more than 2,000 Big Red fans filled the seats at Bramlage Coliseum. The win over the Wildcats followed a resounding Senior Night victory over Kansas on March 3, when Nebraska honored the largest and most successful senior class in history. Griffin certainly ranks near the top of the list among the greatest Huskers in history. She finished her NU career with 2,033 points and 1,019 rebounds, joining 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings as the only players in history to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Griffin became Nebraska’s first AP, USBWA and Wooden All-American, while capturing NU’s first-ever Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award across all sports. The three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection both on and off the court was the 2010 Big 12 Conference Player of the Year, and earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team with 60 steals, 26 blocks and a remarkable 29 charges drawn. “Kelsey is the best player I have ever coached,” Yori said. “She is tough both mentally and physically, and she is one of the hardest-working players I have ever been around. But even more impressively, Kelsey is a great person. She is an outstanding teammate, and she truly cares about the people around her. She deserves every award that comes her way, and I’m looking forward to seeing her continue to grow both as a basketball player
and a person in the future.” Seniors Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner also earned spots on the first-team All-Big 12 squad with impressive careers of their own. Montgomery joined Griffin as one just eight players in Husker history with more than 1,300 points and 600 rebounds, while Turner was one of just six players in NU history with 1,000 points, 200 assists and 200 steals. Turner closed her career ranked No. 2 on NU’s three-point list and in the top five in career steals. “We are so excited that both Cory and Vonnie earned All-Big 12 honors,” Yori said. “They have meant so much to our program and they both had great Big 12 seasons.” Junior starter and Lincoln native Dominique Kelley added honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades, while point guard Lindsey Moore earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. In addition to all five Husker starters earning All-Big 12 recognition, a league-leading six Huskers earned firstteam academic All-Big 12 awards, and Yori was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year. “It was truly a special season – a season that we will all remember for the rest of our lives,” Yori said. “This was the hardest working team and the best practicing team I have ever coached, and the results were obvious. This team deserved every win and every award it received.”
Kelsey Griffin captured 2010 Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors while leading Nebraska to its first Big 12 Conference regular-season title. Griffin, a first-team All-American and national player-of-the-year finalist, averaged 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game to power the Huskers to a 32-2 overall record and a 16-0 conference mark. The Huskers became the first Big 12 men's or women's basketball team to post an unbeaten regular season.

Officials: Russi, Krzesnik, Wingard. Attendance: 430. Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin produced her best performance of the young season with 27 points and 14 rebounds to power Nebraska to a 62-45 victory over UALR in the opening game of the Saint Mary’s Hilton Tournament in Moraga, Calif. Griffin poured in 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the second half alone to help carry Nebraska back from a 23-22 halftime deficit. Griffin’s effort pushed her past 1,400 career points and 700 career rebounds, joining just five other players in school history to achieve those plateaus. Cory Montgomery also achieved a milestone by becoming the 24th player in NU history to join the 1,000-point club. Montgomery finished with 15 points, including nine points during a 14-2 second-half surge to help the Huskers push their lead to 14 points. Montgomery’s first of back-to-back three-pointers midway through the second half pushed her past the 1,000-point mark. Yvonne Turner also made several key plays during NU’s second-half surge, finishing with all eight of her points after halftime. The big nights for the three Husker seniors allowed Nebraska to overcome a 23-point, seven-rebound effort from UALR star Chastity Reed, who had 20 points with 15 minutes left in the game. Nebraska’s defense shut down the defending Sun Belt Conference West Division champions down the stretch to cruise to the win. UALR went on to advance to the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament.

Game Highlights: Yvonne Turner led four Huskers in double figures with 14 points and seven rebounds, while Kelsey Griffin added her sixth double-double of the year with 13 points and 11 boards, as No. 12 Nebraska outlasted Iowa State in a defensive struggle at Hilton Coliseum. Playing in their Big 12 opener against the Cyclones, who were ranked No. 23 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25, Nebraska held ISU to just 2-of-12 shooting from three-point range. The Cyclones entered the contest averaging nearly 10 threes per game. The Huskers also became the first ISU opponent to outrebound the Cyclones on the season, while snapping Iowa State’s 12-game home winning streak. Nebraska’s stellar defense allowed the Huskers to pick up their second win at Hilton Coliseum in the past three seasons, while extending their school-record winning streak to 14 games. Nebraska led for all but the first minute of the first half, but carried just a 29-27 halftime lead. Iowa State scored the first six points of the second half to take a 33-29 edge, before Dominique Kelley and Griffin led NU back to take a 43-37 lead on Kelley’s three with 7:38 left in the game.

Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin notched her seventh doubledouble of the year and 27th of her career with game highs of 26 points and 10 rebounds to help Nebraska run past No. 19 Texas, 91-79, at the Devaney Center. The Huskers, who earlier in the day earned their first-ever top-10 national ranking by tying Baylor for ninth in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll were also ranked 11th by the AP at game time. With another big game from Griffin, and then-season-high scoring efforts from Yvonne Turner (21), Dominique Kelley (18) and Cory Montgomery (16), Nebraska stretched its school-record winning streak to 15 games. The Huskers notched their seventh game of 80 or more points on the season, while scoring 90 points against a Big 12 foe for the first time since a 90-70 win over Colorado on Feb. 27, 2007. It was Nebraska’s highest point total against a Big 12 opponent since scoring 103 points in a triple-overtime win over Baylor exactly five years earlier on Jan. 12, 2005. It was NU’s highest output in a regulation league game since scoring 96 at Missouri on Feb. 17, 1998. Griffin hit 8-of-11 shots from the field and 10-of-12 free throws, while setting a Nebraska record for career free throws made. She ended the night with 444, surpassing the previous Nebraska record of 440 set by Nicole Kubik from 1997 to 2000.

The win was Nebraska’s first-ever over a top-10 team in a true road game. Turner added six rebounds, two assists and a season-high four steals to help secure the first Big 12 Player-of-the-Week award of her career on Jan. 18. Cory Montgomery added a then-season high of her own with 18 points, while adding six boards. Montgomery also tied her career best with a trio of three-pointers.

Game Highlights: In the first-ever meeting between two top-10 teams in NCAA Division I men’s or women’s basketball inside the state of Nebraska, No. 4 Nebraska jumped to a 29-5 lead and was never threatened by No. 10 Oklahoma State. The Huskers rolled to an 88-67 win to improve to 20-0 overall and 7-0 in the Big 12 by holding OSU to just one field goal in the first 9:54.

All five NU starters produced double figures, despite playing 24 minutes or less. Kelsey Griffin had 19 points in 19 minutes, while Lindsey Moore enjoyed a career night with 11 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Yvonne Turner won a head-to-head battle with OSU All-American Andrea Riley, outscoring the nation’s leading scorer, 17-15, while forcing Riley into three turnovers.

Game Highlights: Nebraska used a 12-0 run in the first four minutes to jump to a 12-2 lead and never let No. 12 Texas A&M back within one possession, as the No. 4 Huskers notched a 71-60 win over the No. 12 Aggies in front of 10,889 fans at the Devaney Center. Playing in front of the third straight crowd of more than 10,000 at the Devaney Center and an FSN national television audience, Kelsey Griffin produced her 11th double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds against a physical and aggressive Aggie defense. Cory Montgomery matched her season high with 18 points, while Yvonne Turner and Dominique Kelley each contributed 11 points in solid efforts. Catheryn Redmon also supplied NU with a big lift off the bench with eight points on 4-of-4 shooting from the field, to go along with five rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal in 15 minutes against her homestate school. After A&M scored the game’s first two points, Nebraska ran off 12 straight thanks to back-to-back-to-back threes from Turner and Montgomery. The Huskers then missed their next 14 three-pointers in the game, but NU’s tenacious defense and strength on the boards allowed them to stay in front. Down the stretch, Griffin and Kelley played major roles, as Griffin scored eight of NU’s final 10 points and blocked A&M’s final shot to preserve the Huskers’ 18th double-digit win of the year. Kelley added the other two points, a big defensive rebound and an assist. The Huskers won the turnover and rebounding battles, while outscoring the Aggies, 16-1 at the free throw line, surrendering a season-low two attempts.

Game Highlights: No. 3 Nebraska rallied from a five-point deficit in the final eight minutes, using three consecutive steals in a one-minute span to take the lead and pull away for a 67-60 win at Kansas. The Huskers, who extended their school-record winning streak to 22 games while becoming just the second school in Big 12 history to open league play 9-0 (also Oklahoma in 2000, 2006, 2009), produced seven of their 10 steals for the game in the final eight minutes. Nebraska’s ball-hawking defense allowed them to survive torrid second-half shooting by the RPI No. 24 Jayhawks. After going just 1-for-10 from the field in the final 11 minutes to close the first half at 6-for-23, KU hit its first 11 shots from the field in the second, including its lone three-pointer of the game, to storm to the lead. Kansas opened the second half 15-of-18, but went just 3-for-8 down the stretch with seven turnovers. Lindsey Moore grabbed all three of her steals in the final eight minutes and found Yvonne Turner on a terrific assist for a three-pointer that gave NU the lead for good with 5:38 left. Turner finished with 15 points and two steals, while Moore had four points and six assists. Kelsey Griffin added her 12th double-double of the year with 17 points, 13 rebounds and two steals despite battling first-half foul trouble. Dominique Kelley added 14 points and seven rebounds, despite hitting just 3-of-14 shots from the field.

Game Highlights: No. 3 Nebraska needed a comeback in the final minutes for the second straight Big 12 North road game, battling back from a 78-72 deficit with 3:05 left to score the game’s final 10 points in an 82-78 win. The Huskers’ six-point deficit was their largest second-half deficit of the season up to that point, but NU’s defense forced five turnovers in the final two minutes, after forcing just seven Tiger turnovers in the first 38. Yvonne Turner, who tied a season high with four steals, and Lindsey Moore, who matched her season best with three steals, did the most defensive damage in the closing minutes, forcing turnovers on MU’s final five possessions. Turner and Moore also hit big free throws down the stretch to seal NU’s school-record-tying 23rd win of the year, while improving to 10-0 in the Big 12. Kelsey Griffin made big plays throughout the day, finishing with her 13th double-double of the year with 28 points and 12 rebounds, while adding two assists, two blocks, two charges drawn and a steal. She hit 11-of-15 field goal attempts and 6-of-7 free throws. Turner added 19 points, including a pair of three-pointers, while Dominique Kelley also pitched in 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and a 9-for-10 effort at the free throw line. Cory Montgomery managed just six points, but her three-pointer with 2:04 left may have been the biggest shot of the game, trimming MU’s lead to just one at 78-77, before the NU defense took over.
Game Highlights: Lindsey Moore erupted for a career-high 18 points on a career-best four three-pointers to shoot No. 3 Nebraska to a 60-50 win over No. 13 Iowa State at the Devaney Center. Playing in front of 10,998 fans, Moore scored 15 points in the second half to power Nebraska to a school-record 24th win of the season. The Huskers also extended their schoolrecord winning streak to 24 games, while tying a school record with their 11th conference win of the year. Nebraska stretched its home winning streak to 17 games, while completing a season sweep of the Cyclones. Cory Montgomery scored 11 of her 16 points in the first half to help fuel NU’s 27-19 halftime lead. Montgomery scored the final seven points of the first half, and the first two of the second half to give NU its first double-digit lead of the night at 29-19. But Kelsey Bolte, who finished with 15 points, and Jessica Schroll, who added a career-high 14, pulled ISU within striking distance midway through the second half. Moore and Kelsey Griffin, who had nine points and eight rebounds in the second half alone to finish with 11 points and 11 boards, allowed NU to pull away and seal the 10-point win. The Cyclones played the Huskers tough despite being without senior point guard Alison Lacey, who missed the game after suffering a concussion in practice a day earlier. ISU hit 10 threes, but Yvonne Turner’s four steals inspired a Husker squad that produced a plus-14 turnover margin. Turner added eight points and became the 25th Husker in history to reach 1,000 career points.

Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin produced her 15th doubledouble of the year, including her 10th in Big 12 play, with 25 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high six assists to lead Nebraska to an 89-73 win over Colorado. Griffin’s big day, which included two steals and two blocks, led four Huskers in double figures, as NU improved to 25-0 overall while setting a school record with its 12th conference victory. NU’s 12-0 Big 12 start also matched the 2009 Oklahoma squad for the second-best in league history. Cory Montgomery poured in 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Yvonne Turner added 14 points, including four threes, to go along with five assists. Dominique Kelley pitched in 13 points and five assists. Nebraska set a season high with 25 assists on 32 made baskets, while committing just nine turnovers. NU’s precision passing and 50 percent field goal shooting helped the Huskers overcome an opponent and Devaney Center record 15 threes by Colorado. The Buffs hit 15-of-27 threes, including Brittany Spears’ 6-for-7 shooting. Spears finished with a game-high 26 points, while Bianca Smith added 18 points, including four threes of her own. Courtney Dunn contributed 11 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting. But CU managed just 11 field goals inside the arc, and the Huskers outscored the Buffs 16-6 at the free throw line. NU also outrebounded CU, 37-33, and produced a plus-eight turnover margin.

3FG: Nebraska 7-25 (Montgomery 4-8, Moore 2-4, Kelley 1-2, Neals 0-1, Periago 0-1, Griffin 0-2, Kuhlmann 0-2, Turner 0-5); Oklahoma 2-13 (Hartman 1-1, Stevenson 1-4, Thompson 0-1, Robinson 0-2). 3FG%: Nebraska 28.0; Oklahoma 15.4. FG%: Nebraska 43.9; Oklahoma 39.3. FT%: Nebraska 78.9; Oklahoma 58.3. Steals: Nebraska 7 (Turner, Kelley 2); Oklahoma 3 (Thompson 2). Blocked Shots: Nebraska 1 (Griffin 1); Oklahoma 5 (Thompson 2). Turnovers: Nebraska 11; Oklahoma 16. Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Barlow, Roberts, Pantoja. Attendance: 7,756. Game Highlights: Kelsey Griffin produced her third 30-point scoring effort of the season while adding 13 rebounds, and Cory Montgomery poured in 19 of her season-high 24 points in the second half to power No. 3 Nebraska to its first-ever Big 12 regular-season crown with an 80-64 victory at No. 11 Oklahoma. Trailing 63-62 with 3:30 left, Montgomery sparked an 18-1 Nebraska surge to close out the victory. Montgomery scored seven of NU’s first 10 points in the run, including the basket that put the Huskers up for good. Yvonne Turner followed with a steal and was fouled on her layup, converting the three-point play to give NU a four-point cushion. Montgomery then drained a three-pointer - her fourth of the game and third of the half - and a pair of free throws to push the Husker margin to 70-63. Griffin and Dominique Kelley combined for NU’s final eight points, as Nebraska scored on 11 consecutive possessions during a three-minute stretch. The Huskers improved to 26-0 overall and 13-0 in the Big 12, while moving to 7-0 against AP Top 20 teams. It was Nebraska’s first win over the Sooners since 2005, and the Huskers’ first win in Norman since Feb. 14, 1998. The win also gave the Huskers their first-ever Big 12 regular-season sweep of the Big 12 South, and it was the first sweep by a Big 12 North team since Iowa State accomplished the feat in 1999-2000.

Griffin overcame 1-of-10 shooting from the field by pulling down eight offensive rebounds while going against constant Missouri double-teams. On the defensive end, she accounted for 17 stops with nine defensive boards, five blocks and three steals to help the Huskers hold the Tigers to just 33.9 percent shooting. NU used an 8-0 run to end the first half with a 13-point edge, and opened the lead to 18 with a 5-0 spurt to start the second half. Nebraska also posted a plus-16 rebound margin, producing the entire margin in the second half alone. Yvonne Turner added 15 points, while Dominique Kelley contributed 11 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals. As a team, the Huskers knocked down a season-best 92.6 percent (25-27) of their free throws. Following the game, Nebraska celebrated its first-ever Big 12 regular-season title with the school-record crowd in a trophy presentation on the floor. The Huskers also cut down the nets for the first time since 1988 at the Devaney Center, after Coach Connie Yori thanked the fans for their growing support and the players for the privilege of coaching them.

Kelley erupted for 16 points, including 14 in the first half, to help shoot the Huskers to a 49-32 halftime lead. Moore added one of the strongest performances of her young career with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists and three steals in just 24 minutes.

Griffin helped the Huskers improve to 29-0, including 16-0 in the Big 12, matching Oklahoma’s 2005-06 team for the best league mark in history. The Huskers, who trailed at the half for only the second time all season, used an 18-3 surge out of the locker room in the first five minutes of the second half to gain control of the game.

Game Highlights: Nebraska tied a Big 12 Conference record by winning its 30th consecutive game while snapping a fourgame Big 12 Tournament losing streak with a 63-46 victory over Kansas State in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. Big 12 Player-of-the-Year Kelsey Griffin notched her 18th double-double of the season with game highs of 24 points and 10 rebounds, while fellow first-team All-Big 12 forward Cory Montgomery added her second double-double of the year with 13 points and 10 boards of her own. Dominique Kelley gave the Huskers three players in double figures with 11 points, three rebounds and two assists. The top-seeded Huskers overcame a season-low 1-for-21 shooting performance from three-point range by posting a plus-11 turnover margin against the ninth-seeded Wildcats. KSU, which advanced to the quarterfinals with a win over eighth-seeded Texas Tech, also hit just 34.6 percent (18-52) of its shots from the field and just 5-of-9 free throws. The Huskers hit 22 of their 42 shots from inside the arc and 16-of-19 free throws, while outrebounding the Wildcats, 40-39. Nebraska’s board work included 13 offensive rebounds, which the Huskers turned into 19 points. NU held KSU to just two second-chance points on the afternoon. Nebraska’s 30-game winning streak matched the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Baylor teams that stretched a streak over a national championship season in 2005 and the opening portion of the 2005-06 campaign.

condition with effects similar to asthma. In 2007-08, Griffin played the entire year with a protective vest after cracking a rib in NU's final exhibition game. Not even the rib injury and breathing condition could stop Griffin from averaging 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in Big 12 play. They also couldn't stop her from carrying the Huskers to their first NCAA Tournament victory since 1998. Griffin erupted for 26 points going head-to-head with Xavier's post duo of 6-6 Ta'Shia Phillips and 6-5 Amber Harris to guide NU to a win over the Musketeers in College Park, Md. However, in 2008-09 Griffin was forced to miss the entire season with a foot injury that required a pair of surgeries. She returned to full health before the start of the 2009-10 campaign. "Kelsey is one of the toughest, hard-nosed competitors I have ever coached," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She is a warrior on the court and you get her best every night. Not only that, but she is a solid student and an outstanding person."
Redshirt (2008-09) Griffin took a redshirt season after suffering a foot injury in August. The injury required surgery in December and a second surgery in June of 2009. She did not return to playing full-court basketball until September of 2009.
Junior (2007-08) Griffin led the Huskers with 15.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and ranked among the Big 12's top 10 in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and free throw percentage as a junior. She led NU to the third NCAA Tournament win in school history with 26 points in a 61-58 victory over Xavier on March 23. Her effort against the Musketeers followed 21 points and 10 boards against Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament. Griffin scored 20 or more points seven times in 200708, including three games with 26 points. She had seven double-doubles, including five in regular-season Big 12 play and a sixth in the conference tournament. Despite being limited all season by a cracked rib suffered in NU's exhibition finale on Nov. 5, Griffin showed her toughness by taking a team-best 20 charges, including four in the NCAA Tournament. After missing four games and sitting out three weeks with the injury to close non-conference play, Griffin averaged 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in Big 12 action. She improved each week, averaging 19 points and 8.7 rebounds over NU's final 10 regular-season games. Griffin's Big 12 numbers came in just 27 minutes per game. She scored 269 points in just 433 minutes of league action, an average of 0.62 points per minute. She pulled down 131 rebounds for 0.30 boards per minute. Her per-minute scoring surpassed 2007 National Player of the Year Courtney Paris from Oklahoma, who averaged 0.58 points per minute in Big 12 play. Griffin's rebounds per minute trailed only Paris among league players.

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.
Inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center
The 13,595-seat Bob Devaney Sports Center is one of the most beautiful arenas in the Big 12 Conference. Opened in the fall of 1976, the Big 12's third-largest arena is located on the Nebraska State Fairgrounds. The building, a $13 million project, houses the Huskers' basketball, track, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics teams. Named after Bob Devaney, Nebraska's highly successful football coach and athletic director (1962-93), the Husker faithful have been dedicated supporters of the Nebraska women's basketball program. The Devaney Center will benefit from the construction of a new practice facility in 2010-11, which will include a practice gym, new athletic medicine center, a new locker room, team area and basketball offices. In 19992000, the Devaney Center concourse added a Hall of Honor and Walk of Fame, along with the addition of two HuskerVision screens at each end of the arena. 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 the first time in women's basketball history with 13,595 on hand for a win over Missouri on Feb. 27. The Huskers carry a 20-game home winning streak into the 2010-11 campaign.

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 Nebraska's career three-point record. Griffin joined Hardy in capturing first-team AllBig 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 Terrapins' homecourt before falling in the second round. Griffin was the only returning starter on NU's 2008 Tournament 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 soon 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 season 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 fully healthy to the starting lineup for the Huskers in 2009-10, and added Washington High School Playerof-the-Year Lindsey Moore at the starting point guard spot. The starting five, along with experienced senior reserves Kala Kuhlmann and Nicole Neals, and junior centers Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago gave the Huskers the talent and depth to contend on the national level in 2010. Although Nebraska's run of seven straight postseason appearances, including three NCAA Tournament bids in four years, represents the best stretch in school history, the Huskers have enjoyed success throughout the 36-year history of the program at the varsity level and beyond. In March of 1898, a university women's team played a game against an outside opponent for the first time. The opposition was provided by a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The contest was played at the Nebraska armory, Grant Memorial Hall. Among the matters to be resolved before the game was whether men's rules or those of Smith College should apply. In 1894, only three years after Dr. James Naismith established the rules for basketball, Senda Berenson, director of physical education at Smith College
in Massachusetts, modified Naismith's game for women. In contrast to the Nebraska team, the captain of which was graduate student Louise Pound, the team from Council Bluffs had been playing by the more physical men's rules. A compromise was reached. The first half would by played by men's rules, the second by Smith College rules. The teams played six on a side: two centers, two guards and two forwards. Pound played center. Another issue was whether men should be allowed to attend. Administrators decided that any "gentleman'' accompanied by a "lady'' would be admitted, but single men might be prohibited lest the game attract the wrong kind of audience. The unflattering bloomers women wore in gym classes were regarded as inappropriate dress for mixed company, regardless of the circumstances. As a result, intramural track and field competition involving women was held indoors until 1904. Early basketball games involving the university women were well-attended, and there was "always a goodly surplus in the treasury,'' according to the Nebraska State Journal. The gymnasium was filled well in advance of the game's start. The Council Bluffs team, made up of girls who were "slighter of build and younger,'' proved to be no match for Pound and her university teammates. Pound, who also was the first all-university tennis champion, accounted for three field goals and five free throws in a 15-7 win. The play of Nebraska's Harriet Cooke and Marie Beach drew mention in newspaper accounts. Cooke, like Pound, played center and accounted for Nebraska's other points. Beach was a guard, along with Marie Kennedy. The Council Bluffs forwards were much shorter and had difficulty passing the ball over Beach and Kennedy to their centers, who were responsible for scoring goals. Bertha du Teil and Helen Welch were Nebraska's forwards. Rose Long was a substitute. Basketball was introduced in the university's physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896. As
was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other. The first all-university women's team was organized in 1896, according to the Nebraska State Journal. It included the best players regardless of their class, among them Welch, the only player from that first team who participated in the contest against the Council Bluffs team in March of 1898. Welch and her five teammates were "trained'' by Anne Louise Barr and played other inter-class teams. The first women's game played before an audience was part of NU's sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke's "Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,'' published in the spring 1975 issue of Nebraska History. Pound was the driving force in women's basketball at the university, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was a member of the team in the 1898-99 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. Nebraska 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, Nebraska 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 would pass before the University would sponsor women's teams. Women's club teams were formed beginning in 1970. In 1974-75, such a team coached by Jan Callahan won
nine of 16 games. Only three of the games were against opponents from outside the state. The team played on the small court in Mabel Lee Hall, which was named for the women's physical education director from 1924 to 1952. A typical audience might be 30, mostly friends and relatives of the players. The modern era of women's basketball at Nebraska more accurately dates from 1975, with the arrival of Aleen Swofford as women's athletic director and the offering of scholarships. The total budget for women's athletics was less than $40,000. George Nicodemus, an Iowa native who had directed John F. Kennedy College in Wahoo, Neb., to a pair of AAU women's national titles, succeeded Callahan as volunteer coach of NU's fledgling program in 1975. With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot11, Nicodemus produced a 22-9 record in his first season. The Huskers finished third in the Big Eight Tournament in Manhattan, Kan., in February of 1976. They won the state collegiate tournament held at Midland College in Fremont, Neb.; lost in the second round of an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) regional tournament in Fargo, N.D.; and finished by winning two consolation games at the National Women's Invitational Tournament at Amarillo, Texas. "We are only a couple of tall girls away from winning a national championship,'' Nicodemus said after his first year. Nicodemus, whose duties also included the softball program, became a paid coach his second season at Nebraska, receiving an annual salary of $12,000. The Huskers finished 20-14 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 loss at NebraskaOmaha in the first round of the state tournament.
Karen Jennings earned the 1993 Wade Trophy and was Nebraska's first first-team All-American. Also a tremendous student, Jennings was the 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.

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 careerscorers 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 as the Huskers' all-time leader with 1,843 points, a total that has since been exceeded. 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 High School. 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 remaining in the game 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 conference all-decade team. Karen Jennings was recruited from Persia, Iowa, in 1989, after playing six-on-six, half-court basketball at Tri-Center High School in Neola, Iowa, where she averaged an astonishing 59 points per game as a senior. Jennings adapted quickly to five-on-five basketball, leading the Huskers to back-to-back 20-win seasons as a junior and senior. She was voted the Big Eight Player of the Year both seasons, and in 1992-93, after Nebraska earned an NCAA regional bid, was chosen a first-team WBCA All-American. Nebraska finished second in the Big Eight, then lost to Kansas 64-60 in the conference championship game at Salina, Kan., to enter NCAA play with a 22-7 record. The Huskers defeated San Diego in Lincoln, 81-58, before losing to USC, 78-60, in Los Angeles. During a ceremony at halftime of a victory against Iowa State at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in January of 1995, Karen Jennings' No. 51 jersey was retired. Jennings was the first woman basketball player in the history of the University of Nebraska to be so honored. Given Jennings' accomplishments in four seasons as a Husker, the honor was a slam dunk. She was the first woman in school history to be chosen as a first-team basketball All-American. She was awarded the Margaret Wade Trophy after her senior season. Wade was the first women's coach to be inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The trophy named in her honor is presented annually by the WBCA to the women's collegiate player voted to be the nation's best. Jennings twice was honored as the Big Eight Conference Player of the Year. She finished as Nebraska's career scoring leader and the second-leading scorer in conference history. She was first-team all-conference three times, and she led the Huskers to the NCAA Tournament in 1992-93. Jennings distinguished herself in the classroom as well as on the court. She was a three-time GTE 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 in Omaha, 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 following her career, Jennings received the prestigious honor of being inducted 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. "When Dick Enberg called me, it blew me away," Jennings said. "I was stunned, amazed and shocked. When I look at the list of the names of the great people who are in the Academic All-America Hall of Fame, and then realize that I am now on that list with them, I can't
All-American Kelsey Griffin earned Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors while leading the Huskers to a 30-0 start in 2009-10. Griffin averaged 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game as a senior for the Big 12 champion Huskers.
believe it. This honor is right at the top of the list for me, right there with the Wade Trophy and the two Academic All-America-of-the-Year selections. What makes this one so different from the rest is that I was not expecting it at all. It is an unbelievable honor." 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 school records for wins (23) and conference victories (11) and advanced to an NCAA sub-regional at Norfolk, Va., where it defeated New Mexico before bowing out against perennial power Old Dominion. Enthusiasm was such that the Huskers drew what were then the two largest crowds for women's basketball games in school history just six days apart to finish the regular season: 12,181 for a 68-60 win over Iowa State and 11,465 for a 78-53 victory against Colorado. Attendance at the Devaney Center averaged a thenschool-record 3,452 per game. The attendance records were short-lived. Nebraska averaged 5,000 fans per game at the Devaney Center in 1998-99, with a high of 13,135 for a 68-67 win over Iowa State. The Nicole Kubik-led Huskers finished 21-12 and again advanced to an NCAA sub-regional, 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. 6 all-time scorer while ranking in the top 10 in NCAA Division I history with 418 career steals. Nebraska's fan base also continued to grow, as the Huskers ranked 14th nationally in average home attendance. In Kubik's final home game on "Senior Night" against Kansas State on Feb. 26, 2000, 13,226 Husker fans gathered to say farewell to her and fellow seniors Brooke Schwartz, Charlie Rogers and Naciska Gilmore. Schwartz, Rogers and Kubik, all Nebraska natives, went on to become the first trio from the same Nebraska recruiting class to each score 1,000 points. Not only did the 2009-10 Huskers shatter every attendance record by averaging 7,390 fans per game, including a Big 12-best 11,383 fans per conference game, the recent crop of Huskers have picked up where previous native Nebraskans left off. Yvonne Turner, the 2006 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, finished her four-year 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, enters her senior season on the brink of entering the Huskers' prestigious 1,000-point club while taking aim at more starts than any Husker in history. Jordan Hooper, the 2008 and 2010 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, will try to join Kelley and a new collection of Huskers in continuing to grow a richer tradition of Nebraska women's basketball in the years to come.

31 ALL-BIG 12 AWARDS SINCE 1997 | HISTORY
188 | nebraska women's basketball | 2010-11
Nebraska 2,000-point scorers The most decorated women's basketball player in school history, Karen Jennings earned the Margaret Wade Trophy as the nation's outstanding player in 1993 and WBCA/Kodak First-Team All-America honors. The 6-2 forward from Persia, Iowa, was a four-year starter and led Nebraska to the second round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament. She was the first Husker to have her jersey retired, and it was formally put on display in the Devaney Center arena in 2006. Along with her honors on the court, Jennings was one of the top student-athletes in school history. She captured CoSIDA Academic All-American-of-the-Year accolades in both 1992 and 1993, along with claiming CoSIDA FirstTeam 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 allconference selection, Jennings was also the Big Eight Newcomer of the Year in 1990. The captain of Nebraska's All-Century Team announced in February of 2000, Jennings closed her career as the first player in school history to score more than 2,000 points and record 1,000 rebounds. Jennings was also chosen as one of 25 Women of Distinction honored during the Nebraska Athletic Department's Silver Anniversary celebration of 25 years of women's athletics at NU in 1999-2000. Jennings averaged 20.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in her career, while ranking first in points (2,405). She also ranks third in career rebounds (1,000), first in field goals made (981), second in field goals attempted (1,726), second in field-goal percentage (.568), fourth in free throws made (426) and tied for fourth in free throws attempted (570). 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 the Huskers to the first NCAA Tournament win in school history with 14 points and eight rebounds in an 81-58 win over San Diego at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on March 17, 1993. Jennings added 16 points and 13 rebounds in a 78-60 loss at Southern California in the tournament's second round. Nebraska finished with a 23-8 record and a second-place finish with a 10-4 mark in Big Eight Conference play. Jennings also claimed a spot on the Big Eight All-Tournament team after leading the Huskers to the tournament championship game. Following a career in physical therapy, Jennings became a highly successful real estate agent in Omaha. Jennings became the first Nebraska female studentathlete to be inducted into the CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica Hall of Fame in 2008.

Nebraska 2,000-point scorers 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 was also one of five players chosen to Nebraska's All-Century Team in February of 2000, and one of the Nebraska Athletic Department's 25 Women of Distinction selected in 1999-2000 as part of the school's silver anniversary of women's athletics at NU. The swing 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 selection, Ivy's 19.2 points per game rank second on Nebraska's career charts, while her 778 career rebounds rank sixth on the Huskers' all-time list. She is also tied for fifth in Husker history with 21 career double-doubles, including 10 as a sophomore in 1985-86. Although Ivy was only 5-9, her outstanding leaping ability and excellent court awareness made her a fierce shot blocker, as she ranks fifth on Nebraska's all-time list with 104 blocked shots. Ivy also ranks third in free throws made (431), first in field goals attempted (1,799), second in career field goals made (847), tied for fourth in free throws attempted (570) and 12th in free throw percentage (.756). 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 1986-87 were also single-season Nebraska records, until Kelsey Griffin and Dominique Kelley both eclipsed those marks for the Huskers 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. In 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 and 29 points and 11 boards against Kansas on March 6, 1988 to list among the top performances of her career. Along with leading the Huskers to their first conference tournament title, Ivy guided Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988. Ivy led the Huskers in the 100-82 loss at USC with a team-high 22 points to go along with nine rebounds, four assists, one blocked shot and one steal in her final game in a Nebraska uniform. Ivy served as an assistant coach at Nebraska-Omaha from the summer of 2004 through the end of the 2006-07 season, before becoming the head coach at Peru State College in the summer of 2007. Ivy, who will have her NU jersey retired in Jan. 16, 2011, enters her fourth season with the Bobcats in 2010-11.

Nebraska 2,000-point scorers One of the most decorated players in Nebraska history, Kelsey Griffin produced one of the best senior seasons in school history on her way to first-team All-America honors in 2009-10. The 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, averaged 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while leading Nebraska to its best season in school history. The 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, Griffin earned first-team All-America honors from the WBCA, Associated Press, U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Wooden Award while powering Nebraska to its first NCAA Sweet 16 and its first Big 12 regular-season title. Along the way, Griffin was named a finalist for every major national player-of-the-year award (Wade, Naismith, Wooden, Honda) and became Nebraska's first Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner in any sport. She was also named a finalist for the V Foundation Comeback Award and the National Consortium on Academics and Sports Giant Steps Courageous Student-Athlete Award. Griffin, who led Nebraska to its highest national rankings and first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed, closed her career with a school-record 127 starts, while ranking third in school history with 2,033 points and second with 1,019 rebounds. She joined 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings as the only Huskers in history with 2,000 points and 1,000 boards. Griffin also closed her career with a school-record 40 career double-doubles, including 20 as a senior in 2009-10. A three-time first-team All-Big 12 pick, Griffin also earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team as a senior with singleseason career bests of 60 steals, 26 blocks and a remarkable 29 charges drawn. Griffin erupted for a career-high 36 points at Kansas State on March 6 to carry NU to the first perfect season in Big 12 history, helping the Huskers improve to 29-0 overall and 16-0 in the league. She hit 15-of-19 shots from the field against the Wildcats. It was Griffin's fifth 30-point effort of her career, including her fourth as a senior (31 points, 11 rebounds vs. Creighton; 30 points, 14 rebounds vs. No. 5 LSU; 30 points, 13 rebounds at No. 11 Oklahoma). Griffin earned six Big 12 Player-of-theWeek awards as a senior, including four straight to end the season to become the first player in history to win four straight player-of-the-week accolades. She finished with 104 double-figure scoring efforts in her career, including each of Nebraska's three games in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, when she averaged 18.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. After a sensational start as a freshman, Griffin battled illness down the stretch, limiting her playing time during the last
half of the 2006 Big 12 season. In 2006-07, she was challenged by a breathing condition with effects similar to asthma. In 2007-08, Griffin played the entire year with a protective vest after cracking a rib in NU's final exhibition game. Not even the rib injury and breathing condition could stop Griffin from producing a strong Big 12 campaign by averaging 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. They also couldn't stop her from carrying the Huskers to their first NCAA Tournament victory since 1998. Griffin erupted for 26 points going head-to-head with Xavier's post duo of 6-6 Ta'Shia Phillips and 6-5 Amber Harris to guide NU to a win over the Musketeers in College Park, Md. However, in 2008-09 Griffin was forced to miss the entire season with a foot injury that required a pair of surgeries. She returned to full health before the start of the 2009-10 campaign.
