THREE RETURNING STARTERS LEAD HUSKERS TO BIG TEN | INTRODUCTION
4 | nebraska women's basketball | 2011-12
Big Ten Conference Formed more than 115 years ago, the Big Ten Conference is an association of world-class academic institutions with shared values and goals. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been the priority for every member institution. However, maintaining the conference’s status as one of the preeminent athletic conference’s in the country also endures as an important component of the Big Ten student-athlete experience. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful James E. Delany Commissioner undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its studentathletes not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.
Academics
All Big Ten Universities have been granted Tier One Status by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a distinction awarded to just over 100 universities in the country. The Big Ten leads all conferences with the highest number of ranked graduate school programs among the top 25 according to U.S. News and World Report in 2011. The Big Ten ranks first with 23 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medical (research and primary care), business and engineering.
Successful Program
During the 2010-11 season, the Big Ten claimed six team national championships, including titles for Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State synchronized swimming and men’s volleyball, Penn State women’s volleyball and wrestling and Wisconsin women’s ice hockey. The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 13 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2001-02 to 2010-11. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
Student-Athlete Opportunities
Big Ten universities provide over $120 million in direct financial aid to more than 9,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 Big Ten championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. Conference institutions sponsor 298 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States.
Television Exposure
The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, FOX Sports and the Big Ten Network (BTN) provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. Over 900 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis, more than any other conference. In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network, the BTN. It launched on Aug. 30,
2007, and now is in its fifth year of operation. It is available to approximately 75 million homes nationally, and appears in 19 of the top 20 national media markets.
Attendance
Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 8.9 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2010-11 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone.
Honoring Legends. Building Leaders.
The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and that philosophy led to the genesis of the new football division names. Both names link directly to the Big Ten mission.

INTRODUCTION | INAUGURAL BIG TEN CONFERENCE SEASON
HUskers.com | 5
Husker History With the Big Ten Conference Although Nebraska will be competing for the first time as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, the Huskers have a relatively substantial history playing against Big Ten opponents. Nebraska's first-ever meeting with a Big Ten school came with a thrilling 68-67 overtime victory over Minnesota on Dec. 30, 1977. Two weeks later, the Huskers improved to 2-0 against the Big Ten with a 71-63 victory over Iowa at the Jennies Classic in Warrensburg, Mo., on Jan. 13, 1978. The following season, Nebraska improved to 3-0 against the Big Ten with a narrow 59-57 victory over Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Nov. 28, 1978. The Huskers dropped their next two games against Big Ten foes that same season, falling 63-55 at Minnesota on Jan. 3, 1979, before suffering a 79-74 loss at the hands of Wisconsin in Madison on Jan. 5, 1979. Overall, the Huskers carry a 24-27 all-time record against Big Ten opposition into their first season of Big Ten Conference competition. In eight of Coach Connie Yori's first nine seasons at Nebraska, the Huskers have played at least one game against a Big Ten opponent. In the last nine seasons, Yori's Huskers have posted a 5-8 record against the Big Ten, including 2-0 marks against Michigan and Northwestern, and a 1-3 mark against Ohio State. Nebraska has also played single games against Penn State, Iowa and Indiana, while dropping a home-and-home series with Minnesota in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Under Yori, the Huskers are 3-2 against the Big Ten in home regular-season games, with wins over Ohio State, Michigan and Northwestern. Yori's Huskers also produced an enjoyable postseason memory at a Big Ten school, as the 2010 Nebraska team advanced to its first NCAA Sweet 16 by defeating Northern Iowa and UCLA at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minn.

The visiting team is housed in the visitor's locker room, located in the hallway off the northwest corner of the playing floor.

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.

THREE RETURNING STARTERS LEAD HUSKERS TO BIG TEN | INTRODUCTION

compliance guidelines for boosters
The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.
NCAA Principles
Institutional Control It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA. Responsibility The University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution. Compliance The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.
Questions and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests Definitions
Q: What is a booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a 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
Q: Who is a Booster? A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/ friends of either. REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster? A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at Nebraska must be directed to
the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage Nebraska attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/ her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect's educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend Nebraska; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend Nebraska; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the Nebraska campus for an official or unofficial visit. RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; accept employment from more than one employer and earn unlimited income; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A 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.

Schedule Notes
Huskers Challenge Nation's Best
Nebraska will face another challenging schedule in 2011-12. NU's Strength of Schedule has been ranked among the top 30 nationally in each of the past four seasons, as the Big 12 offered the No. 1 conference RPI in the country each of the last four years. A total of 16 regular-season games in 2011-12 will come against 2011 postseason teams, including 10 games against 2011 NCAA Tournament qualifiers.
Husker Homecourt Advantage
Nebraska expects to play 16 regular-season home games at the Devaney Center in 2011-12. Over the past four years, Nebraska owns a 52-11 record (.825 winning percentage) at the Devaney Center, including a 28-game winning streak from February of 2009 until January of 2011. In nine seasons at home under Coach Connie Yori, the Huskers are 107-32 (.770) and have never lost more than five games in a season.
Non-Conference Play Offers New Destinations
Not only will Nebraska's first-year membership in the Big Ten offer new travel destinations, the Huskers' nonconference schedule will provide plenty of first-time trips. In fact, all four road non-conference games will mark NU's first journeys to those cities. The Huskers open road play the weekend after Thanksgiving at Florida A&M (Nov. 25) and Florida State (Nov. 27). Both schools are located in Tallahassee, Fla., where the Huskers will make their first-ever appearances. Three days later, the Huskers will play for the first time in Atlanta when they battle Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. NU wraps up road non-conference play on Saturday, Dec. 10, at Northern Arizona in its first-ever trip to Flagstaff.
New Season - New Conference - New Cities
Along with playing four non-conference games in first trips to opposing cities, the Huskers will add two firsttime journeys to Big Ten Conference schools. Nebraska will make its first trip to West Lafayette, Ind., to face Purdue on Thursday, Feb. 2, and NU also will make its first-ever venture to East Lansing to clash with Michigan State on Thursday, Feb. 23. The Huskers will make their first Big Ten Tournament appearance by playing their first-ever game in Indianapolis.

THREE RETURNING STARTERS LEAD HUSKERS TO BIG TEN | INTRODUCTION
14 | nebraska women's basketball | 2011-12
Moore, Hooper Form Nucleus of Young Huskers The Nebraska women's basketball team heads into its first season of Big Ten Conference competition with one of the youngest teams in school history. Coach Connie Yori enters her 10th season at the helm of the Huskers with a 12-player roster that includes four true freshmen and two redshirt freshmen who will be counted on to make significant contributions to the 2011-12 season. "We will definitely be a young basketball team this year. Not only do we have all of the freshmen, but two of the players that we will rely on the most inside - Jordan Hooper and Adrianna Maurer - are both sophomores," Yori said. "We are excited about our young players though. Our freshmen have already shown that they are going to be able to help us right away, and Jordan has really improved since her freshman season." Yori has several reasons for optimism surrounding her young team. First, the two most experienced players in her program - fifth-year senior guard Kaitlyn Burke and junior point guard Lindsey Moore - are proven leaders in the backcourt. Second, her young players benefitted from a summer experience in which they were able to use 10 full days of practice before traveling to Scandinavia for 11 days to compete in four games against teams from Sweden, Norway and Denmark. "We definitely got better, and that was exciting and encouraging to see," Yori said. "Our freshmen are going to help us this year. I've been saying that since our first set of practices in June, but they have continued to get better and learn our system and work hard. All four of our true freshmen could play roles for us throughout the year. We also have a little bit better idea of the things they need to focus on now, so we can start working on them right away. It is definitely going to speed up their development process as players." "What a great trip for the players and staff for every reason. From a team standpoint, our players definitely grew closer and continued to develop some great team chemistry. The way they interacted with each other throughout the trip was exciting to see. They naturally bonded with everybody. There were no cliques or people moving in the same groups all the time. They just naturally and genuinely wanted to spend time with everybody. As a coach, that is really rewarding to see." Burke, Nebraska's most experienced player, has played 101 collegiate games and has made 48 starts in her Husker career. Last year the 5-7 guard from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, started 29 of NU's 31 games and played nearly 1,000 minutes despite battling multiple injuries. She averaged 6.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Burke has battled injuries throughout her Husker career, but her toughness and leadership skills are respected throughout the program. In addition to her contributions on the court, Burke is the president of Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and is a Lowe's Senior CLASS Award nominee. She will also be a candidate for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2012. "Kaitlyn has outstanding character and leadership qualities," Yori said. "She has set an example for all of the players in our program over the past five years. She has continued to battle some real nagging injuries, but she is such a tough competitor that she will find a way to help all of our players improve this year." Moore, a 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., has been at the controls of the Husker offense the past two seasons. As a sophomore in 2010-11, Moore earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades by averaging
14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. She was even better in Big 12 games, ranking 10th in the league in scoring with 17.0 points per game, while continuing to produce 5.9 assists. She erupted for a career-high 33 points at Kansas on Feb. 26, and scored 20 or more points five times in conference play. At the end of the 2010-11 non-conference season, she also recorded the first triple-double in Nebraska basketball history with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a victory over Florida A&M on Jan. 2, 2011. "Lindsey did everything we asked her to do last year, and you could see her growing and improving every day," Yori said. "She had to carry the scoring load for us last year, but she is really at her best when she is distributing the basketball." Moore, who has started 65 games to open her career at Nebraska, averaged 6.0 points and 4.5 assists per game as a true freshman while becoming the first freshman point guard in NCAA history to lead a team to an unbeaten regular season. Moore earned Big 12 All-Freshman honors after piloting the Huskers to a 32-2 record and an appearance in the 2010 NCAA Sweet 16. Senior forward Harleen Sidhu, who has played 66 games with three starts in her Husker career, and junior forward Meghin Williams, who has appeared in 31 games off the bench, give Nebraska its other remaining upperclassmen. Both Sidhu and Williams battled offseason injuries and may be limited early in 2011-12.
That leaves Hooper as the Huskers' next most experienced player. The 6-2 sophomore forward from Alliance, Neb., ranks third among current Huskers in both career starts (31) and career minutes (908). Hooper is Nebraska's top returning scorer and rebounder from 2010-11, when she earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Hooper averaged 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, while also leading the Huskers with 67 three-pointers. Her 67 threes were the most by a freshman in school history, while her season scoring average tied for second and her rebounding average tied for fifth among Nebraska's all-time freshmen. "Statistically, Jordan had one of the best freshman seasons in school history, but I think she was really just scratching the surface of what she is capable of doing as a player," Yori said. "Jordan has gotten better, there is no question about it. She has done a really good job of listening to the coaches after her freshman season and working hard on the weaknesses in her game. She is stronger, a better defender, more aggressive on both offense and defense, and she now has a couple more weapons in her offensive game." During Nebraska's summer trip to Scandinavia, Hooper was dominant. She averaged 22.8 points and 10.0 rebounds, while adding 1.3 steals and 1.0 block per contest. She notched double-doubles in wins over the Ullern club team from Norway and the Horsholm club
Senior Kaitlyn Burke is one of three returning starters for the Huskers in 2011-12. The 5-7 guard from North Vancouver, British Columbia, will be a nominee for the 2012 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Freshmen Get Chances to Make Instant Impact
Nebraska's leading scorer as a freshman, Jordan Hooper returns with more weapons in her offensive arsenal as a sophomore. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., averaged 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in 2010-11.
team from Denmark, while erupting for 33 points and eight rebounds in the Huskers' victory over the Danish National Team. Fellow sophomore Adrianna Maurer could also play a significant role for the Huskers in 2011-12. The 6-3 center from Shawnee Mission, Kan., is the lone center on Nebraska's roster and joins Burke, Moore, Hooper, Sidhu and Williams as the only other Huskers with collegiate game experience. Maurer appeared in 24 games as a true freshman and averaged 2.1 points and 1.3 rebounds per game in less than 10 minutes per contest. Her presence on the low block and her ability to improve on both the offensive and defensive ends could be factors for NU, especially in Big Ten Conference play. "Adri has gotten better, and we will need her to contribute for us throughout the season," Yori said. "She is really our only big-bodied post player, so we will ask her to go head-to-head with some of the big, traditional post players in the Big Ten." Nebraska's six newcomers must replace departed seniors Dominique Kelley, Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago from the 2010-11 Husker squad that went 13-18 and struggled to a 3-13 record in their final Big 12 season. Kelley, a 5-7 guard, was a four-year starter for the Huskers but missed nearly all of the 2011 conference season with an injury. Redmon, a 6-3 center, was one of the top shot-blockers in school history, while averaging 9.5 points and 7.2 boards per game as a senior. Periago, a 6-4 center, averaged 2.6 points, and 3.1 rebounds as a part-time starter for the Huskers in 2010-11. Overall, Nebraska's six newcomers must replace just 24.8 points and 17.8 rebounds per game from the three seniors and three other departures from last year's Husker program. If Nebraska's trip to Europe provides any indication about offensive performance for the season to come, the young Huskers should have no problem combining for those numbers and more. True freshman Emily Cady, a two-time Nebraska Super-Stater from Seward High School, averaged 13.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in the Huskers' four games in Europe. A 6-2 forward who was ranked among
the top 100 players nationally by ESPN Rise, Blue Star and the All-Star Girls Report, Cady led Seward to three straight Nebraska Class B state titles and a 75-game winning streak to close her career. "Emily Cady comes to our program as a winner. She is an extremely athletic and versatile player who could make an immediate impact for us," Yori said. "At 6-2, Emily is not only a great three-point shooter, she also has all-around guard skills. We're confident Emily will be a great representative of our program and the state of Nebraska." Brandi Jeffery, a Parade High School All-American and the 2011 Gatorade Louisiana High School Player of the Year, added 9.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest for the Huskers in Europe. Jeffery showed her consistent scoring ability by scoring at least eight points in all four of NU's games in Europe, including contests against both the Swedish and Danish national teams. Jeffery, a 5-7 guard from Vacherie, La., led the Louisiana Metro area in scoring each of her final three seasons of high school basketball. As a senior at St. James High School, Jeffery averaged 23.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.3 steals per game, while leading the Avoyelles to their first-ever state championship. Along the way, Jeffery also claimed Most Outstanding Player honors in the state championship game win with 16 points and 18 rebounds. In the state semifinals, Jeffery scored 28 points, hit six three-pointers and recorded nine steals. "Brandi has the ability to shoot well beyond traditional three-point range and the ability to put the ball on the floor and knock down mid-range jumpers," Yori said. "She could also have a big impact for us on the defensive end of the court because we feel she has the athleticism to guard anyone." Tear'a Laudermill, a true freshman from Riverside, Calif., was also a top-100 high school recruit. The 5-9 guard averaged 6.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals on Nebraska's four-game journey to Europe. An athletic guard whose length can cause opposing players problems in the backcourt, Laudermill averaged nearly 17 points, five assists and four steals per game as a senior. She led her Canyon Springs High School team to the CIF
Southern Region finals against national No. 1 Mater Dei after knocking off the No. 2 team in the nation - Brea Olinda - in the regional semifinals. "Tear'a could be one of the quickest players to ever wear a Nebraska jersey," Yori said. "We will look to her to be a lock-down defender for us, which could give her a chance to have an instant impact on our program. Not only is she an outstanding defender, but she can also create shots for herself because of her quickness, which puts a lot of pressure on a defense, while also being able to hit the three." Hailie Sample, a 6-1 forward from Flower Mound, Texas, rounds out the Husker quartet of true freshmen. Sample averaged 4.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in Europe. While Sample's offensive numbers were the most modest of the true freshmen, her abilities on the defensive end may help the Huskers the most. "Hailie understands how to play defense and her abilities fit perfectly with our philosophies on team defense," Yori said. "She is a big, versatile guard who can help us on the block and can also set up her teammates to score because she is a solid passer." Nebraska's four true freshmen combined for 33.8 points and 14.3 rebounds per game in Europe. While Husker fans are eager to get their first looks at Nebraska's true freshmen, they will also get to see redshirt freshmen Rebecca Woodberry and Katie Simon on the court for the first time as Huskers. Woodberry, a 5-10 guard from Phoenix, Ariz., was the 2010 Gatorade Arizona High School Player of the Year at Tolleson Union High School. Woodberry averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game as a high school senior, before redshirting last season at Nebraska. During the Huskers' trip to Europe, Woodberry averaged 8.3 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, including doubledoubles in wins over the Ullern and Horsholm club teams in Norway and Denmark. Simon, a 6-2 forward from Roseville, Calif., was slowed by a foot injury at the start of her freshman season. She averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots as a senior at Roseville High School, and could add depth inside for the Huskers in her first season on the court. In her four games in Europe, Simon averaged 3.5 points and 3.0 rebounds, including six points and four boards in the finale against the Danish National Team. With Woodberry and Simon's combined averages of 11.8 points and 11.0 rebounds, Nebraska's six newcomers joined forces for 45.6 points and 25.3 rebounds per game on the Huskers' summer trip to Europe. As a team, NU averaged 85.5 points and 49.5 boards, giving the newcomers better than half the Huskers' overall production in both categories. Nebraska's young roster will look for similar production against another loaded 2011-12 schedule. The Huskers have ranked among the top 30 nationally in Strength of Schedule each of the last four years, and the 2011-12 schedule features at least 16 games against 2011 postseason teams. NU is also set to play 10 games against 2011 NCAA Tournament teams, including seven games against top-25 RPI clubs. "Our schedule is going to provide us with a lot of challenges, but we also think it is going to give our young team a little bit of a chance to grow up early in the year," Yori said. "The Big Ten is a great conference loaded from top to bottom with talented teams, so we will have to be ready to play every night. When half your roster is made up of freshmen, you want to give them some chances to adjust to this level so they are ready when conference play starts."

NEBRASKA
Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's emerging programs under Coach Connie Yori. The Huskers, who have made seven postseason tournament appearances and averaged 20 wins per season since 2003-04, enter an exciting era in history in 2011-12. The Huskers will compete as a member of the Big Ten Conference for the first time in 2011-12, while also moving into the technologically advanced Hendricks Training Complex practice facility. The excitement will continue to build with the addition of a new downtown arena in Lincoln set to open for men's and women's basketball in 2013-14. In 2009-10, Nebraska shot into the national spotlight, capturing the Big 12 Conference title with the only perfect regular season by a men's or women's team in league history (29-0). After tying the league record with a 30-game winning streak, the Huskers captured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. NU climbed as high as No. 3 in the national polls 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. Forward Kelsey Griffin, the No. 3 pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft, captured the school's first Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, presented to the nation's outstanding student-athlete. She was also a unanimous first-team All-American and a finalist for every National Player-of-the-Year award. The three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection 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 | INAUGURAL BIG TEN CONFERENCE SEASON

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 a thirdround 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

NCAA TOURNAMENT EXCITEMENT
Nebraska earned seven straight postseason tournament berths from 2004 through 2010, including three NCAA Tournament bids in 2007, 2008 and 2010. 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.

BUILDING TEAMS LIVING DREAMS During the summer of 2011, the Nebraska women's basketball team made a memorable journey to Scandinavia for an 11-day European Tour. The Huskers traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, Oslo, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Not only did a young team featuring six freshmen among its 12-player roster gain invaluable experience from playing four games against European competition, the Huskers also benefitted from experiencing other cultures. The tour, which lasted from Aug. 5 to Aug. 15, included games against both the Swedish and Danish national teams, providing all the Huskers with practical experience against international competition. Throughout the journey, each one of the Huskers contributed to a team blog highlighting their experiences and perspectives on a daily basis before and during the trip. Each entry, recaps from each game and lots of photos are available on the women's basketball home page at Huskers.com under the category "European Tour." The European Tour was funded by The Fastbreakers: the official booster club of Nebraska women's basketball.
“There is no doubt that every player, coach and staff member gained a better understanding and appreciation of European history and culture while on this trip. Not only did our European Tour allow us to see a part of the world that none of us had been to, but it also allowed us to grow as a team." Kaitlyn Burke 2012 Nebraska Senior Guard

"What a great trip for the players and staff for every reason. Our players definitely grew closer and continued to develop great team chemistry. The way they interacted with each other throughout the trip was exciting to see. They naturally bonded with everybody. There were no cliques or people moving in the same groups all the time. They just naturally and genuinely wanted to spend time with everybody. As a coach, that is rewarding to see." Connie Yori Nebraska Head Coach On the Huskers' August 2011 European Tour

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 and in Australia in 2011. 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 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, and plays professionally in Australia. Anna DeForge (top right) enjoyed a long professional career after earning All-America honors at Nebraska in 1998. DeForge was an all-star for Indiana in 2007, after earning her first all-star nod with the Phoenix Mercury in 2004. DeForge continues to play professionally in Europe. 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 built a 28-game winning streak at the Devaney Center from 2009 to 2011. In 2009-10, the Huskers were a perfect 16-0 at home. Over the past four seasons Nebraska is 52-11 at home with nine wins over top-25 teams. 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 11,383 fans per league game. A school-record 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 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.

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 four 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, Osborne has made historic decisions to help the University of Nebraska athletic programs for years to come. In June of 2010, Osborne joined Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany to announce the Huskers would join the Big Ten beginning on July 1, 2011. 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. Just a few months later, Osborne announced an aggressive expansion plan for the east side of Memorial Stadium that will increase attendance past 90,000 for the first time, while continuing Nebraska’s NCAA record-setting sellout streak. The expansion, which is set for completion before the 2013 football season, will include athletic and academic research components. In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on a 16,000-seat downtown arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14. The basketball programs, the wrestling program and many of NU’s other sports will also benefit from the Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The facility, which is set to open in October of 2011, will include new practice and team areas, in addition to expanded athletic medicine and strength training areas. The Nebraska baseball and softball programs will also benefit from a new indoor practice facility at Haymarket Park, which is scheduled to open in September of 2011. The first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s facilities began in the summer of 2010, as the Huskers broke ground on the Student Life Complex on the west side of Memorial Stadium. The Student Life Complex, which opened in the fall of 2010, directly benefits every Husker student-athlete with expanded academic resources. While Osborne has helped initiate landmark moves off the field, he has continued to help coaches and student-athletes focus on Nebraska’s tradition of success in competition. In fact, the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in Osborne’s first four years as athletic director. In 2010-11, eight Husker teams finished among the top 20 in the nation, while 15 NU squads advanced to postseason play in their respective sports, including the Husker football team’s second straight Holiday Bowl appearance. 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 10-win seasons and a trio of Big 12 North Division titles in his first three years. In 2009 and 2010, Pelini’s Huskers finished among the top 20 teams in the nation in the final polls. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has claimed three Big 12 titles and advanced to three NCAA Sweet 16 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 four straight NCAA Championships. The NU men’s and women’s track and field teams combined for three conference crowns, while producing seven top-20 finishes indoors and outdoors over the past four years. The men’s and women’s gymnastics teams have produced top-10 NCAA finishes the past two years, including a school-record-tying fourth-place showing by the women in 2011. The Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and has finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships each of the past four years. The NU rifle team has produced a pair of top-six
NCAA finishes in the last four years, while the men’s and women’s tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips in 2010 and 2011. The 2010 NCAA first-round victory for the women was the first in school history, while the men’s appearance in 2010 was the first in school history. The Husker softball team has made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, while the Husker women’s golf and baseball programs both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008. Osborne made his second coaching hire since his return to Nebraska, when he named two-time Major League All-Star, three-time Gold Glove award winner, and former No. 1 MLB Draft pick Darin Erstad as the baseball team’s new coach on June 2, 2011. Erstad was not only one of the best Husker baseball players in history, he was the starting punter on NU’s 1994 national championship football team coached by Osborne. While the Huskers have continued to make advancements in competition and in recruiting under Osborne’s guidance, they have continued to set the bar high academically. Nebraska led the Big 12 with 14 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2010-11, increasing its nationleading total to 291 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports. The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record 192 academic all-conference selections, along with a conference-record 688 Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 113 student-athletes from August of 2010 through May of 2011. 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 schoolaged 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 sixthmost 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.

BOEHM
Bethany College l 1982
Kansas State l 1984
• Executive Associate Athletic Director (Eighth 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 Nebraska's media partners to provide the men's basketball team with extensive television package in recent years. 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 conference play, NU led the league with 11,383 fans per game. The men have added four postseason trips during Boehm's tenure, including a trip to the 2011 Postseason NIT. Boehm has also played an integral role in the planning of Nebraska's new downtown arena for men's and women's basketball, which is scheduled to open for the 2013-14 season. He has also worked to help develop Nebraska's new practice facility - the Hendricks Training Complex - which is set to open at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in the fall of 2011. Boehm has also played a part in helping the Nebraska athletic department make a functional transition to the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12. Boehm 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 10th 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 official 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. Griffin went on to earn one of five spots on the WNBA All-Rookie Team for the Sun, before joining Montgomery and Yvonne Turner in Europe to continue their professional careers. 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 was anything but a quick fix. Instead, Yori spent eight years building Nebraska brick-bybrick with painstaking detail into a force to be wreckoned with on the 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
COACHES | INAUGURAL BIG TEN CONFERENCE SEASON
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." Nebraska took a step back in the win column in 2010-11, battling its way to a 13-18 overall record that included a 3-13 mark in the Huskers' final season in the Big 12. Not only did NU struggle to replace three first-team All-Big 12 picks in Griffin, Montgomery and Turner, the Huskers also suffered the loss of 2010 honorable-mention All-Big 12 guard Dominique Kelley just 11 games into the season. Kelley's knee injury took not only NU's most experienced and versatile offensive weapon off the court, it also created a leadership void for the Huskers midway through the season. Sophomore Lindsey Moore stepped up in a big way to fill that void and continued to blossom in all aspects of her game throughout the season. Moore earned honorable-mention AllBig 12 accolades after averaging 17.0 points and 5.9 assists in Big 12 play. Over her final five games, Moore averaged 21.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and a staggering 8.2 assists. Earlier in the season, Moore became the first player in NU history to record a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a win over Florida A&M. Another youngster that stepped up throughout the season was freshman forward Jordan Hooper. The 2010 Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year led the Huskers with 14.6 points per game while leading all Big 12 freshmen with 6.6 rebounds per game. She also shattered the NU freshman three-point record by connecting on 67 threes as a rookie. The previous mark of 46 was set by two-time WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge in 1994-95. With Moore and Hooper providing a young nucleus, and senior guard Kaitlyn Burke returning to provide leadership, the Huskers could be poised for another resurgence heading into their their first year in the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12. Nebraska will welcome All-California guard Tear'a Laudermill to the backcourt as a freshman in 2011-12, which could help ease the loss of Dominique Kelley to graduation and experienced reserve guard Layne Reeves to career-ending knee injuries. Laudermill will be joined by 2011 Louisiana Gatorade High School Player of the Year Brandi Jeffery as a newcomer to the Husker backcourt. The addition of Jeffery gives Nebraska four former high school state players of the year, joining Moore, Hooper and 2010 Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year Rebecca Woodberry, who redshirted for NU in 2010-11. Another Nebraska prep star, Emily Cady will join the Husker program after helping her Seward High School team to its third straight Class B state championship. Cady, a 6-2 forward, assisted the Jays' run to 75 consecutive victories to close her career. Texas prep standout Hailie Sample is also expected to provide athleticism on the wing for the Huskers as a freshman in 2011-12. 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 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 back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances since the 1999 and 2000 seasons, while posting back-to-back 20win 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.

made major strides in the classroom and community. The Huskers made history in 2003-04 by becoming the athletic department's first winner of the Life Skills Award of Excellence. The award was presented to the team that showed the greatest overall commitment to Nebraska's community outreach program, an impressive accomplishment considering Nebraska's overall Life Skills program has been named the best in the nation. Although NU had to replace four senior starters in 200304, the 2004-05 squad continued the program's climb. Nebraska grabbed national headlines and made school history on Jan. 12, 2005, by knocking off then-No. 2 Baylor, 103-99 in triple overtime at the Devaney Center. Not only did the Huskers outlast the eventual national champion Bears in the longest game in Big 12 history, they also posted a win over the highest-ranked team in school history. The Huskers finished with an 8-8 Big 12 record for the first time since 1999-2000 and claimed a sixth-place finish in one of the nation's toughest leagues. NU's sixth-place showing was its first top-six league finish since 1999-2000, 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. NU's strong finish came while establishing a measure of dominance against Big 12
North competition. Nebraska went 5-0 in rematches with North Division opponents in 2005-06, and finished the year with a 7-3 mark against North schools, before adding a victory against Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. The Huskers defeated Colorado three times in the same season for the first time in school history after recording their first regular-season sweep of the Buffaloes in 21 years. NU also ended a 20-year losing streak at Boulder. Nebraska's rise to the upper echelon in the 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

Sidhu hopes to begin the regular season at full strength and provide experience and leadership to a young Nebraska team that features six freshmen. Sidhu and fellow Canadian Kaitlyn Burke are the only two seniors on the Husker roster. "Harleen is a versatile player with solid fundamentals, and she showed her toughness and team-first approach last season while she battled through an injury," 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."

Outlook (2011-12)
One of the nation's top point guards, Lindsey Moore showed her dynamic combination of scoring and passing as a sophomore in 2010-11. The 5-9 native of Covington, Wash., ranked among the top 10 players in the Big 12 by averaging 17 points per game in league play, while continuing to dish out nearly six assists per contest. An honorable-mention All-Big 12 guard as a sophomore, Moore could contend for All-Big Ten and national honors as a junior. Despite playing just two seasons at Nebraska, Moore is the Huskers' active leader in career starts (65), and has played just 221 fewer career minutes than fifth-year senior guard Kaitlyn Burke. While Moore assumed more of a scoring role as a sophomore, she is counting on several young and dynamic scorers to carry more of the load on offense this season for the Huskers. "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 solid student off the court."

Meghin Williams adds experience, depth and size inside for the Huskers in 2011-12. The 6-1 junior forward from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., has appeared in 31 games as a reserve forward in her first two seasons at Nebraska. One of only four upperclassmen on the 2011-12 Nebraska roster, joining seniors Kaitlyn Burke and Harleen Sidhu and fellow junior Lindsey Moore, Williams will be looked to for leadership among a young collection of Huskers.

"Meghin has the ability to face up and shoot it, rebound and play with her back to the basket," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "Meghin has been through two seasons at Nebraska and knows what it is like to battle through adversity. We will need her to provide us with some quality production this year, and we will expect her to provide leadership for our younger players."

Hooper 6-2 l Sophomore l Forward Alliance, Nebraska (Alliance)
Outlook (2011-12)
After one of the most productive freshman seasons in Nebraska history, Jordan Hooper hopes to produce even bigger numbers as a sophomore while helping the Huskers to a successful first season in the Big Ten Conference. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team by leading the Huskers with 14.6 points per game in 2010-11. She also ranked second on the team and No. 1 among all Big 12 freshmen with 6.6 rebounds per contest. During the offseason, Hooper focused on expanding her offensive weapons and becoming more aggressive on both ends of the court. Her success in accomplishing those goals was evident during the Huskers' 11-day trip to Europe in August. Hooper led NU by averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds over four games, including 33 points against the Danish National Team and 21 points against the Swedish National Team. "Jordan is one of the best players the state of Nebraska has ever produced, and that was apparent during her freshman season at Nebraska," Coach Connie Yori said. "She is extremely athletic and versatile. She is more than just a good athlete, she has great basketball skill. Last year, she relied almost entirely on her outside shooting to score. She did a great job this offseason in working on her low-block scoring, her pull-up jumper and her dribble drive and it has made her a much more complete player."

Maurer 6-3 l Sophomore l Center Shawnee Mission, Kansas (Bishop Miege)
Outlook (2011-12)
Adrianna Maurer saw significant time off the bench as a true freshman center for the Huskers in 2010-11. The only center on Nebraska's 2011-12 roster, Maurer has been working to provide even greater contributions inside as a sophomore as the Huskers make the move to the Big Ten Conference. Last season, the 6-3 native of Shawnee Mission, Kan., competed in 24 games and averaged nearly eight minutes per contest behind departed senior center Catheryn Redmon. Maurer showed the ability to score on the low block and hit shots from beyond the three-point arc, while also battling hard on the boards. With a season of experience and a year of gaining strength while working to refine her game at both ends of the court, Maurer could see a significant increase in playing time as a sophomore. In addition to her contributions on the court, Maurer is also a strong student who earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters of her freshman campaign. "Adrianna can score on the block and she can hit the jumper from the mid-range and three-point range," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has worked hard to get stronger and improve her game. Adri is also a really good student and a good person."

Cady was also No. 96 on the All-Star Girls Report Top 100, right behind fellow Husker freshman Tear'a Laudermill, who came in at No. 95. Cady proved those rankings were welldeserved during Nebraska's summer workouts in preparation for the Huskers' 11-day tour to Scandinavia.

The 5-7 shooting guard from Vacherie, La., captured Parade High School All-America honors after averaging 23.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.3 steals per game as a senior.

She showed her amazing versatility in the semifinals when she erupted for 28 points by knocking down six three-pointers. She also grabbed nine steals.

During Nebraska's four-game summer tour to Scandinavia Aug. 5-15, Jeffery ranked third on the team in scoring with 9.0 points per game. She added 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per contest.

"She has the ability to shoot well beyond traditional three-point range and the ability to put the ball on the floor and knock down mid-range jumpers. She could also have a big impact for us on the defensive end of the court because we feel she has the athleticism to guard anyone."

One of the top guards in the Class of 2011, Tear'a Laudermill (pronounced TEAR-uh) joins the Huskers as one of the best players in the state of California. As a senior at Canyon Springs High School, Laudermill averaged 16.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 3.5 steals per game. The 5-9 guard is no stranger to facing top competition. She led Canyon Springs to a top-25 final national ranking and a berth in the CIF Southern Regional final by knocking off No. 2 Brea Olinda in the semifinals. In the regional final, Laudermill scored 14 points going up against No. 1 Mater Dei and WBCA National High School Player of the Year Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis. Laudermill earned first-team All-CIF 1A honors for the second straight year in 2011, after gaining recognition as one of the nation's top 100 high school players from multiple publications prior to her senior year. Laudermill showed that experience was an asset during the Huskers' 2011 summer tour of Europe, Aug. 5-15. She averaged 6.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game during the four-game tour. She produced her best performance in the final game with nine points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals in Nebraska's win over the Danish National Team. Laudermill is expected to make an instant impact for the Huskers because of her ability to apply defensive pressure all over the court. "Tear'a could be one of the quickest players to ever wear a Nebraska jersey," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "We will look to her to be a lock-down defender for us, which could give her a chance to have an instant impact on our program. Not only is she an outstanding defender, but she can also create shots for herself because of her quickness, which puts a lot of pressure on a defense, while also being able to hit the three. We think Tear'a is the kind of player who can be a difference-maker in our program for years to come."

Huskers Make Historic Move to Big Ten
Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne (left) joined Big Ten Commissioner James Delany (middle) and UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman (right) as the Huskers were announced as the newest member of the league starting in 2011-12. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Conference announced that its member schools voted unanimously to accept the University of Nebraska as the conference’s 12th member beginning on July 1, 2011. The Big Ten Conference is a union of 12 world-class academic institutions that share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. The conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to live a Big Life.
Big Ten Conference Highlights
• Big Ten universities provide approximately $120 million in direct financial aid to more than 9,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships. • Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with 298 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States. • Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with nearly nine million patrons attending conference home contests for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball during 201011. In 2010, the Big Ten set attendance records for overall and average attendance in conference football games. In men’s basketball, the Big Ten led the nation in average home attendance for the 35th straight season, while Big Ten women’s volleyball also led the nation in total home attendance. • Over the last 32 seasons, the conference has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 nationally in football, men’s basketball and wrestling attendance.
• Big Ten institutions have approximately five million living alumni and nearly 350,000 undergraduate students attending their universities. • Based on the U.S. Census projected population for 2010, the nine-state Big Ten region accounts for approximately 70 million people, which ranks second only to the Big East and well ahead of the ACC, SEC, Pac-12 and Big 12.

Huskers Battle to Overcome Challenges in 2010-11
Dominique Kelley produced 25 points, nine rebounds and five assists in Nebraska's 99-85 victory over eventual ACC champion Miami on Nov. 17. Kelley went on to win Big 12 Player-of-the-Week honors on Nov. 22, before her season was cut short by injury.
Dominique Kelley walked onto the Devaney Center court in uniform with fellow seniors Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago for Senior Night. Tip-off for the Colorado game on March 2, 2011, was not only the last home game of their careers, it was also the final home regular-season game for the Huskers as members of the Big 12 Conference. Kelley had envisioned the moment and the outcome before the season started. Unfortunately, not much about the 2010-11 season went as Kelley planned. While she earned a Senior Night start with Redmon, Periago, Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper, Kelley stayed on the court for just eight seconds. Redmon won the tip, and Kelley dribbled until Coach Connie Yori took a timeout. Kelley walked off the court to a standing ovation from the Big Red faithful. The Lincoln native had not appeared in uniform since the Big 12 regular-season opener against Oklahoma nearly two months earlier. "It was great to walk off the court to that kind of applause from our fans," Kelley said. "I just wish it could have ended differently. I would have much rather played every second, but my knee just wouldn't let me." The 5-7 guard played just eight minutes against the Sooners, coming off the bench for the first time in her career. She managed four points and three rebounds against OU, but running was almost unbearable. Severe, chronic knee pain kept Kelley off the court for all but a few seconds during Nebraska's final 16 games. She also missed NU's final three non-conference games prior to the Oklahoma contest, after battling to overcome the pain early in the season. Kelley, who earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades as a junior, started the first 109 games of her career. After helping the Huskers to a 32-2 record that included a perfect 16-0 Big 12 mark and a league title in 2009-10, Kelley's absence left a young group of Huskers without their best player and most vocal leader. "In terms of the kind of person she is, the kind of teammate she is, the competitor she is, she's pretty much everything you want to be able to coach," Yori said of
Kelley. "It was just such a tough deal for her and a tough way for her to end her career. But she will grow from it and take the lessons she has learned to the rest of her life. She is that kind of person." After undergoing knee surgery to try to alleviate the pain on Sept. 29, Kelley returned to the court for the start of the season and was simply sensational. Although she was limited by her injury, Kelley averaged 16.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists while helping the Huskers to a 6-0 November. The Huskers averaged 81.7 points and shot nearly 48 percent from the field, including almost 41 percent from three-point range through six games. Those numbers were even more impressive considering the level of competition. NU rolled to a 95-38 victory to open the season over a Vermont team that advanced to the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Against the Catamounts, the Huskers connected on a school-record 17 three-pointers, including a career-high five from Moore. Kaitlyn Burke returned from Oct. 4 knee surgery to go 4-for-4 from long range, while Hooper provided one of the best freshman debuts in school history with 15 points and six rebounds. Nebraska followed with an even better showing in a 99-85 victory over Miami on Nov. 17. Kelley carried NU with a career-high 25 points, while adding a career-best nine rebounds. She also pitched in five assists while hitting 7-of-10 shots from the field and 11-of-13 free throws against a Miami team that went on to win the ACC regular-season title. Moore also had a huge game against the Hurricanes. The point guard poured in a then-career high 22 points while dishing out nine assists. She hit 8-of-11 shots from the field. Hooper was also impressive, pumping in 22 points, including 4-of-7 shooting from three-point range, while pulling down six more rebounds against the Canes. Redmon provided a dominant inside presence for NU with her first double-double of the year with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Overall, the Huskers shot a sizzling 63.6 percent from the field, including 57.1 percent (8-14) from three-point

range against Miami, and with Kelley, Moore, Hooper, Redmon and Burke providing a solid starting five, the Huskers showed plenty of promise. "That was an offensive clinic," Miami Coach Katie Meier said after the game. "Great guard play. Lindsey Moore and Dominique Kelley absolutely obliterated us." Kelley, Moore and the Huskers kept it rolling three days later against Saint Mary's at the Devaney Center. Kelley produced a 22-point effort that included one of the best free throw shooting performances in school history. She went a perfect 13-for-13 at the line, answering the call time-after-time down the stretch to secure a 64-63 win. For her efforts, Kelley was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, Nov. 22. That same day, she scored 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists as the Huskers recorded their first road win of the season with an 87-79 victory at Washington State. Hooper added 16 points and Moore 15, while Catheryn Redmon contributed her second double-double of the young season with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Nebraska returned to the Devaney Center to face Nebraska-Omaha Nov. 26. Hooper made quick work of the Mavs by scoring 25 points in just 24 minutes, while hitting 12-of-14 shots from the field in an 80-44 victory. The Huskers climbed to No. 24 in the Associated Press Top 25 and wrapped up a perfect November with a hard-fought 65-41 win over UNLV. Hooper again led the Huskers with 16 points, including four three-pointers against the Lady Rebels, as she closed her first month as NU's leading scorer with 16.8 points per game. Nebraska's promising start met its first setback to open December at Indiana. Kelley began experiencing knee pain again, but still scored 21 points while grabbing six rebounds and dishing out six assists at Assembly Hall. Periago also stepped up for the Huskers. The 6-4 senior center from Toulon, France, etched her name in the NU record book by burying all five of her three-point attempts to finish with a career-high 15 points. Hooper added 13 points, but Burke, Moore and Redmon combined for just nine points, as the Hoosiers escaped with a 67-61 win to snap Nebraska's 37-game regularseason winning streak dating back to March of 2009. After the setback at Indiana, Nebraska responded with an impressive 63-55 victory over in-state rival Creighton in Omaha. Hooper notched the first double-double of her career with 14 points and 10 rebounds against the Jays, while Kelley added 13 points and six assists despite increasing pain in her knee. Moore also rebounded with 14 points and six assists while playing the full 40 minutes for the first time in her career. It was the first of 16 times that Moore would go the distance in 2010-11. Following the win over the Jays, the Huskers returned to the Devaney Center to notch a 66-53 win over Northern Colorado to improve to 8-1 on the season. Kelley scored just seven points in 19 minutes as her knee pain continued to worsen, but Redmon stepped up with 16 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots against the Bears. Hooper added 11 points and eight boards to produce her eighth double-figure scoring performance in her first nine games. Nebraska took a week off for finals before heading to Las Vegas for the Duel in the Desert at the Cox Pavilion. The Huskers opened the three-game tournament with a 79-70 loss to a Houston team that went on to produce its best season in school history while capturing the Conference USA regular-season crown. Hooper notched her second double-double with 25 points and a career-high 13 rebounds against the Cougars, while Kelley nearly added a double-double of her own with 14 points and nine boards. Moore managed 14 points and five assists.

Kelley's Absence Forces Moore, Hooper to Grow Up Fast Nebraska tried to rebound the next night against another eventual conference champion in Marist. The Red Foxes claimed the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference crown and won 31 games on the year, including a win over Iowa State in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. The Huskers led Marist at halftime thanks to 12 points from Kelley, but her knee pain became unbearable in the second half. She did not score in the second half and did not play in NU's next three games. Redmon managed 11 points and seven rebounds, and Hooper added nine points and 10 boards, but Marist escaped with a 65-60 win. The next night, the Huskers played their first game in four seasons without Kelley in the starting five, as NU squared off against eventual NCAA Sweet 16 qualifier Louisville. The Huskers trailed 35-22 at the half. In the second half, Hooper led a furious Husker rally, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds while cutting the UL lead to 51-46 with five minutes left. The Cardinals held off the Huskers, and NU slipped to 8-4 on the season. Nebraska went home for the holidays, then returned to the Devaney Center for a pair of games against Florida teams to close non-conference play. NU rolled to a 78-59 victory over South Florida, before capping non-conference play with a 10-4 mark in a 73-57 win over Florida A&M. Moore made history against the Rattlers by recording Nebraska's first-ever triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high-matching 11 assists. Redmon added a double-double of her own with 12 points and 12 boards against Florida A&M, while Hooper pitched in 20 points and seven boards. The victory extended Nebraska's home winning streak to 28 games - the second-longest streak in school history. Kelley tried to return for the Oklahoma game, but her knee was uncooperative, and the Sooners cruised to a 70-50 win on their way to the NCAA Sweet 16. Kelley's absence caused a major blow to the Huskers on both ends, perhaps most measurable on offense. In NU's 11 non-conference games with Kelley in the lineup, the Huskers averaged 73.6 points per game, while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from three-point range. Six of those 11 games came against 2011 postseason teams, including conference champions Miami, Houston and Marist. In Big 12 Conference play, the Huskers averaged just 56.8 points while shooting 35.3 percent from the field, including just 28.8 percent from long range. Kelley's injury was just part of an unfortunate season filled with injuries for the Huskers. On Jan. 10, Burke suffered a broken nose to go along with existing knee and foot injuries. Burke played through all the injuries without missing a game, including a road loss to NCAA Tournament qualifier Iowa State on Jan. 11. Before the Huskers took the court again, sophomore guard Layne Reeves announced the end of her career after undergoing her fifth knee surgery. Reeves, a third-year guard, only played one game for NU in 2010-11. Katya Leick and Harleen Sidhu, who both tried to fill Kelley's shoes in the starting lineup, played with major leg injuries during the season, while Meghin Williams and Katie Simon were both sidelined by foot injuries. Williams played limited minutes in 18 games, while the freshman Simon took a redshirt year. Despite all the injuries, the Huskers returned home to defeat WNIT qualifier Kansas, 75-61, in overtime. Moore produced one of the best games of her career with 23 points, six rebounds and five assists, as her leadership role continued to expand. Burke also produced the best game of her career with 20 points, including four three-pointers against the Jayhawks, while Redmon notched another double-double with 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds, while blocking five shots.
The Huskers dropped back-to-back games to NCAA Tournament qualifiers Kansas State and Iowa State, before returning home to produce a 56-53 win over Texas Tech. Redmon led the Huskers with 16 points and nine boards against her homestate school, while Hooper added 16 points and eight boards of her own. The victory was one of six for the Huskers over postseason tournament qualifiers on the year, as the Lady Raiders advanced to the NCAA Tournament. After closing January with a win, Nebraska embarked on a four-day road trip to Missouri. A blizzard in Missouri forced the extra-long travel for the Huskers, in what the Tigers dubbed "The Snowpocalypse." While Missouri managed a victory, Hooper made history by tying the Nebraska record with seven threepointers on her way to a career-high 31 points. She scored 28 points in the second half - the highest-scoring half by any Big 12 player in 2010-11. Five more losses followed for the Huskers, including three on the road and one at home to No. 1 Baylor on Feb. 9. Freshman guard Kellie McCann-Smith made her final appearance at Colorado on Feb. 6, as a back injury sidelined her for the rest of the season. The Huskers found the win column one last time with a 76-34 pounding of Missouri at the Devaney Center on Feb. 22. Moore led the Huskers with 23 points, six rebounds and eight assists. Harleen Sidhu added the best game of her career with 12 points off the bench. "I liked the way our team approached the challenges we faced throughout the year," Yori said. "I feel like our players collectively had a good attitude and we continued to get better throughout the year. We didn't have many wins to show for it, but I was pleased with the way we competed and improved. That will help us in the future." NU finished with a 13-18 overall record that included a 3-13 Big 12 mark. Although the Huskers finished 12th in their final season in the Big 12, NU's strength of schedule ranked in the top 30 in the nation, as the Big 12 was the No. 1 RPI league in the country. Nebraska played 22 games against postseason teams, including 14 against NCAA Tournament competition.
Although the Huskers went winless in their final four games of the year, Moore continued to provide highlights. At Kansas on Feb. 26, she erupted for a career-high 33 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists. She poured in 23 points and dished out nine assists in a narrow home loss to Colorado, before posting her second career double-double with 13 points and 10 assists at eventual national champion Texas A&M to close the regular season on March 5. Moore added 13 more points and nine assists in a narrow loss to Iowa State in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., on March 8. Over the last five games of the season, Moore averaged a staggering 21.0 points and 8.2 assists per game, while firmly establishing herself as the leader of the future for the Big Red. Moore went on to earn honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades, after averaging 17.0 points per game in conference action. She also ranked third in the league overall with 5.9 assists per contest. Hooper also claimed all-conference recognition as one of five players on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Hooper led the Huskers with 14.6 points per game on the year, while posting a Big 12 freshman-best 6.6 rebounds per game. She also shattered the Nebraska freshman record with 67 three-pointers on the season, while her 454 points ranked second all-time among NU rookies. Her 205 rebounds ranked third on the Husker freshman list. Although she did not earn a spot on an all-conference team, Redmon capped her four-year Nebraska career with a Husker Big 12 Tournament-record six blocked shots against the Cyclones to push her career total to 216 to finish second in NU history. Her 77 blocks on the season also ranked second in the Husker record books. Redmon also finished second in the Big 12 with her 54.6 field goal percentage. While the Huskers will miss Kelley, Redmon and Periago in 2011-12, Moore and Hooper established themselves as the nucleus of the future for years to come as the Huskers make the move to the Big Ten.
Lindsey Moore earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades as a sophomore in 2010-11. Moore averaged 21.0 points and 8.2 assists per game over Nebraska's final five games of the season.

Kelley scored 19 points in the second half alone to help the Huskers turn a six-point halftime lead into a 23-point advantage midway through the second half. Moore did most of her damage in the first half, pumping in 14 of her then-career-high 22 while opening the game by hitting her first six shots from the field. Moore added nine assists against a Hurricane club that went on to win the ACC regularseason title. Hooper added 22 points of her own, teaming with Moore and Kelley on impressive NU runs in each half. Hooper hit 4-of-7 three-pointers while also pulling down six boards for the Huskers. Catheryn Redmon also had a huge game, posting her fourth career double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Like Moore, Redmon hit her first six shots from the field and finished the first half with 12 points and nine boards. Kaitlyn Burke added a perfect shooting night by going 3-for-3 from the field, including a pair from long range, to finish with eight points - all in the second half. For the game, NU hit 63.6 percent of its field goals, the fifth-best shooting percentage in school history, and the best mark since 1997-98.

Game Highlights: Dominique Kelley scored a game-high 22 points on her 22nd birthday to lead Nebraska to a 64-63 win over Saint Mary’s at the Devaney Center. Kelley, who produced the second-best free throw shooting effort in NU history by going 13-for-13 at the line, drained six free throws in the final 25 seconds to seal NU’s one-point victory over the Gaels. The Huskers trailed for much of the first half after falling behind 12-2, but rallied for a five-point halftime lead. Kelley fueled a Husker run early in the second half to push NU’s lead to 10, but Saint Mary’s answered. The Gaels surged ahead late in the game, taking a 55-51 lead with 4:28 left. But back-to-back layups by Kelley and Kaitlyn Burke trimmed the SMC lead to 57-55, before Jordan Hooper hit her only three-pointer of the game over the outstretched arm of NCAA all-time leading shot-blocker Louella Tomlinson. Hooper’s three gave NU a 58-57 lead with 2:35 left, and Kelley did the rest. She hit two free throws in a one-and-one situation with 25 seconds left. After a Gael basket, she hit both ends of a one-and-one again with 17 seconds left. After another SMC bucket, Kelley hit both ends of the double-bonus with seven seconds left.

Game Highlights: Freshmen Jordan Hooper and Kellie McCann-Smith combined for 29 points and eight threepointers to lead No. 24 Nebraska to a 65-41 win over UNLV at the Devaney Center. Hooper, who hit four threes in the first half, became the fastest Husker freshman in history to reach 100 points, achieving the mark in her sixth career game. She finished with a game-high 16 points. McCann-Smith added a career-high 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting from long range. Catheryn Redmon and Dominique Kelley each pitched in nine points apiece against a stingy, physical and disciplined UNLV defense.

The Rebels went nearly 11 minutes without a field goal to open the second half, as Nebraska turned a 31-19 halftime lead into a 48-21 advantage with under 10 minutes left.

Game Highlights: Jessica Periago poured in a career-high 15 points off the bench by going a school-record 5-for-5 from three-point range, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Huskers from falling 67-61 at Indiana. Playing in the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Periago hit three first-half three-pointers, then hit both of her attempts in the second half to become the first player in NU history to go 5-for-5 from long range in a game. Periago’s fifth three with 2:30 left, gave the Huskers a 61-60 lead over the upstart Hoosiers. But Indiana answered with a three-point play from Andrea McGuirt on the next possession, and Jori Davis closed the scoring with back-to-back baskets for IU. Nebraska missed its final three shots from the field and committed a turnover in the final 2:30 to have its 37-game regular-season winning streak snapped by the Hoosiers. Dominique Kelley led the Huskers with 21 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals, while Periago finished with 15 points and six boards. Jordan Hooper gave the Huskers three players in double figures with 13 points and four rebounds, but the rest of the Huskers combined for just 12 points and 12 rebounds in the game. All-Big Ten selection Jori Davis led the Hoosiers with 21 points, while Hope Elam added 14. Danilsa Andujar provided the biggest lift inside for IU with a career-high 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Hooper notched her first career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Kaitlyn Burke added nine points, three rebounds and two assists.

Turnovers: Houston 11; Nebraska 13. Technical Fouls: None. Officials: L. Jones, Forsberg, Waters. Attendance: 946. Game Highlights: Jordan Hooper poured in 25 points, while adding a career-best 13 rebounds for her second career double-double, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Nebraska from dropping a 79-70 decision to eventual Conference USA champion Houston in the first game of the Duel in the Desert Classic at the Cox Pavilion. Hooper hit just 2-of-9 shots from the field to open the game before nailing a long three-pointer as time expired at the end of the first half. That shot ignited the 6-2 forward, as she scored 12 points in the first five minutes of the second stanza. Hooper’s hot second-half shooting helped bring NU back from 16 points down late in the first half to pull within three points early in the second half. Dominique Kelley added 14 points and nine rebounds, while Lindsey Moore pitched in 14 points and five assists. Catheryn Redmon contributed seven points and nine boards, as the Huskers pulled down a season-high 51 rebounds. Unfortunately, NU missed a season-high 53 field goals on a season-high 79 attempts, while connecting on 32.9 percent from the floor. The Huskers hit just 25.6 percent (10-39) in the first half, including just 3-of-16 three-pointers. NU did respond to hit 7-of-13 threes in the second half.

Blocked Shots: Nebraska 5 (Redmon 4); Louisville 9 (Hines, Vails 4). Turnovers: Nebraska 26; Louisville 17. Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Stevens, J. Jones, Parrish. Attendance: 648. Game Highlights: Jordan Hooper produced her third doubledouble, but NU dropped its third straight game at the Duel in the Desert Classic in Las Vegas. Hooper led NU in both scoring and rebounding with 18 points and 10 boards, while adding an assist and a steal. Katya Leick nearly added a doubledouble of her own with nine points and a career-high 10 rebounds in 30 minutes in her first career start. Leick replaced Dominique Kelley, who had her streak of consecutive starts snapped at 109. It was the first game Kelley missed in her four seasons in Lincoln. Without Kelley, the Huskers struggled against Louisville’s full-court pressure. NU committed 19 first-half turnovers, as the Cardinals raced to a 35-22 halftime lead. However, Hooper single-handedly brought the Huskers back in the second half against the eventual NCAA Sweet 16 qualifiers from Louisville. Hooper had a hand in NU's first 16 points in the second half with a trio of three-pointers, a three-point play on a putback and another basket on an offensive rebound. She also assisted Catheryn Redmon on a bucket to pull the Huskers within 41-38 with 13:35 left. Louisville withstood the surge to rebuild a double-digit lead before NU rallied one more time to cut the margin to 51-46 with 5:17 left. The Huskers could get no closer.

Game Highlights: Nebraska had its 28-game home court winning streak snapped with a 70-50 loss to No. 19 Oklahoma in the Big 12 opener at the Devaney Center. The Husker streak fell one game shy of the school record and was the fourthlongest streak in the nation. NU also had its 18-game Big 12 regular-season win streak come to an end. Cold shooting cost the Huskers, as NU shot just 29.6 percent, including 26.3 percent from three-point range. The Huskers were just 13-of-22 at the free throw line. The Sooner defense had a lot to do with NU’s first-half struggles, holding the Huskers to 0-for-3 shooting beyond the arc. OU held Nebraska to 21 first-half points and built a 16-point halftime edge. NU was never able to get closer than 12 the rest of the way. Jordan Hooper led NU with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Catheryn Redmon pitched in 10 points and six boards. Dominique Kelley returned for the first time in four games, but played just eight minutes off the bench.

Game Highlights: Nebraska scored on every possession in overtime to surge to a 75-61 win over Kansas at the Devaney Center. Three Huskers had career days to power NU to its first Big 12 win of the season and eighth straight win over KU at the Devaney Center. Lindsey Moore notched 23 points while playing a career-high 45 minutes. She added six rebounds and five assists. Kaitlyn Burke poured in a career-high 20 points, including four three-pointers, while adding four assists in a career-high 40 minutes. Catheryn Redmon added 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds. Redmon, who played a career-high 42 minutes, added five blocks and matched a career best with three steals. That trio accounted for 16 of NU’s 19 points in overtime, while the other points came on a big three-pointer from Katya Leick early in the extra period to put NU up by six. Although the game went overtime, thanks to a leaning three-pointer from KU’s Monica Engelman with 10 seconds left to tie it at 56, NU controlled the game from the opening tip. The Huskers built a 10-point lead seven minutes into the game and led by eight at the half. NU’s lead grew to 12 midway through the second, before Engelman and Carolyn Davis rallied KU. The Jayhawks led only once at 4948 for 30 seconds, and the game was tied just three times.

Technical Fouls: None. Officials: Mattingly, Napier, Gallien. Attendance: 2,518. Game Highlights: Lindsey Moore poured in a career-high 33 points and dished out five assists, but Kansas worked its way to a 77-61 win over the Huskers at Allen Fieldhouse. Moore, who pumped in 16 first-half points, including NU’s final 10 points of the half, erupted for 17 straight points early in the second half to help slash an 11-point halftime deficit. Moore hit six straight shots, including three straight three-pointers to start the outburst, to score 15 straight points in a span of just 3:56. Moore’s eruption cut a nine-point KU lead to just two points at 51-49 with 12:05 left in the game. However, Carolyn Davis answered Moore’s flurry with a monster game of her own. The Jayhawk forward scored 36 points on 16-of-19 shooting, while also grabbing eight rebounds. Davis scored six points during a 14-2 KU surge that answered Moore’s rally. The Jayhawks rebuilt a 12-point lead, and the Huskers were never able to get closer than seven points the rest of the way. Jessica Periago’s lone three-pointer of the night cut the KU margin to 68-61 with 5:24 left, but the Huskers went scoreless the rest of the way. Jordan Hooper added 14 points and a pair of three-pointers to push her season three-point total to 60, while crossing the 400-point scoring mark on the season. As a team, the Jayhawks shot 69.2 percent in the second half and did not attempt a second-half three-pointer. KU also outrebounded NU, 18-6 in the final 20 minutes.

Sophomore (2008-09)
Periago added depth to Nebraska's inside game while increasing her role throughout the course of the 2008-09 season. She averaged 2.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per game during the season. She appeared in 24 of NU's 31 contests, while helping the Huskers advance to the second round of the Postseason WNIT. After playing a limited role during the non-conference season, Periago played in each of Nebraska's final 19 games following the season-ending knee injury to fellow reserve center Nikki Bober on Dec. 30. Three-time All-Big 12 forward Kelsey Griffin was lost earlier in the year to an ankle injury and missed the entire 2008-09 campaign. In Big 12 Conference play, Periago averaged 2.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per game. She hit 44.1 percent (15-34) of her shots from the field, including 4-of-14 three-pointers.

In NU's last five games of 2008-09, Periago averaged 4.6 rebounds per game, grabbing 23 of her 38 total rebounds on the season.

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 three-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 fourth-highest total in Husker history trailing only Danielle Page's school-record 78 in 2007-08, Redmon's 77 as a senior in 2010-11 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. During the nine-game stretch to close the year, Redmon matched the second-best single-game block total in school history with seven rejections in NU's win over No. 20 Kansas State on Feb. 25. She added four points and eight rebounds in a season-high 34 minutes against the Wildcats. She also produced five blocked shots to go along with six points and six boards in the Huskers' home win over Colorado on March 3, before adding five more blocks to go along with five points and seven rebounds in NU's loss at New Mexico in the Postseason WNIT. Overall she produced five games with five or more blocked shots, and finished the year with a streak of nine straight games with at least one block. Redmon scored in double figures seven times as a starter, including a season-high 13 points in a win over Cal State Bakersfield Dec. 9. In that game, she notched one of the top rebounding totals in NU history with 15 boards for her first career double-double. She added a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds at UTEP on Dec. 20, before contributing her third career double-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots at Missouri on Jan. 17. Redmon had 12 points and nine boards at Colorado on Jan. 31. She also produced double-figure scoring efforts with 10

Inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center
The 13,595-seat Bob Devaney Sports Center has been home to Nebraska women's basketball for 35 seasons. Opened in the fall of 1976, the Devaney Center is located on NU's new Innovation Campus, which was formerly the Nebraska State Fairgrounds. The building, a $13 million project, houses the Huskers' basketball, track, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics teams, and the new Hendricks Training Complex. Named after Bob Devaney, NU's Hall of Fame football coach and athletic director (1962-93), the Devaney Center has been the home of Husker women's basketball program since the earliest days of its varsity program. The new Hendricks Training Complex includes a practice gym, new athletic medicine center, a new locker room, team area and basketball offices. The practice facility will serve as the home of Husker women's basketball on campus. In 2013-14, the Huskers are scheduled to begin play in a new downtown 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, 2010. The Huskers have regularly ranked among the top 30 teams in average attendance, including 21st in 2010-11.

Huskers Make Historic MOve to Big Ten in 2011-12 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 play 1-8, the Huskers refused to surrender and closed the Big 12 campaign as one of the league's hottest teams. NU finished the regular season with a 15-14 mark and a 6-10 Big 12 record to secure a seventh straight postseason trip. Griffin, Turner, Montgomery and Kelley all returned 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, represented the best stretch in school history, the Huskers have enjoyed success throughout the 37-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
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.
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. NU avenged the loss two weeks later in Lincoln. Nebraska was 3-0 in 1905, against the Haskell Indian School, Missouri and the Omaha YWCA, the last two games on the road. The season was short but successful, the student yearbook noted: "Owing to an inability to schedule games with desirable teams, only three games were played.'' In 1907, no women's varsity team was picked. In March of 1908, Nebraska played games against Minnesota, home-and-home, two weeks apart. Nebraska lost them both, 9-3 and 28-22, after a five-minute overtime. Earlier, NU had defeated a team from Nebraska Wesleyan to finish its final season with a 1-2 record. Despite their remarkable success, the university women were allowed to play basketball only in physical education classes after April 24, 1908. In response to the concerns of faculty members, who considered such activity inappropriate, the Board of Regents abolished intercollegiate athletics for women. More than 60 years
passed before the University sponsored women's teams. Women's club teams were formed beginning in 1970. In 1974-75, such a team coached by Jan Callahan won nine of 16 games. Only three of the games were against opponents from outside the state. The team played on the small court in Mabel Lee Hall, which was named for the women's physical education director from 1924 to 1952. A typical audience might be 30, mostly friends and relatives of the players. The modern era of women's basketball at Nebraska more accurately dates from 1975, with the arrival of Aleen Swofford as women's athletic director and the offering of scholarships. The total budget for women's athletics was less than $40,000. George Nicodemus, an Iowa native who had directed John F. Kennedy College in Wahoo, Neb., to a pair of AAU women's national titles, succeeded Callahan as volunteer coach of NU's fledgling program in 1975. With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot11, Nicodemus produced a 22-9 record in his first season. The Huskers finished third in the Big Eight Tournament in Manhattan, Kan., in February of 1976. They won the state collegiate tournament held at Midland College in Fremont, Neb.; lost in the second round of an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) regional tournament in Fargo, N.D.; and finished by winning two consolation games at the National Women's Invitational Tournament at Amarillo, Texas. "We are only a couple of tall girls away from winning a national championship,'' Nicodemus said after his first year. Nicodemus, whose duties also included the softball program, became a paid coach his second season at Nebraska, receiving an annual salary of $12,000. The Huskers finished 20-14 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo.
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.
history | INAUGURAL BIG TEN CONFERENCE SEASON
Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 loss at NebraskaOmaha in the first round of the state tournament. The UNO game was Nicodemus' last as NU's coach. Dr. June Davis, who had served for two years as women's sports information director at the university, succeeded Swofford as women's athletic director and set about replacing Nicodemus. Davis hired Marcia Walker, who had spent two years at Dakota Wesleyan. Walker announced she would resign with about a third of a 12-14 season remaining. The team would have four more coaches in the next nine years, including Lorrie Gallagher, Colleen Matsuhara, Kelly Hill and Angela Beck, who finally brought stability to the program in 1986. Gallagher followed Walker and coached two 20-win seasons, both of which earned the Huskers AIAW regional tournament berths. The first of Matsuhara's three teams advanced to an AIAW regional, making it three in a row. NU would have only one winning season in the next five. The Huskers lost nearly twice as often as they won during the next two years, which preceded the promotion of Dr. Barbara Hibner to women's athletic director and Beck's arrival from Bradley. Among the dominant Nebraska players of the late 1970s and early 1980s were 1,000-point 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 1993. Jennings distinguished herself in the classroom as well. She was a three-time GTE Academic AllAmerican. 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 after her career, Jennings was honored with induction into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in the summer of 2008. Described as "the best of the best of the best" by longtime CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame spokesman and award-winning broadcaster Dick Enberg, just over 100 student-athletes all-time, across all-sports have been honored with Hall of Fame induction. "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 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. NU 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 advanced to the NCAA Tournament, losing to Kentucky 98-92. In 1999-2000, the Huskers achieved another school first by advancing to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament, while Kubik capped her career by finishing as the school's No. 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 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 NU career with 1,101 points, while becoming just the sixth guard in Husker history with more than 1,000 points, 200 assists and 200 steals. Dominique Kelley, the 2007 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, joined Turner in the 1,000-point club one year later. However, Kelley's senior year was cut short by injury, which led to a disappointing 13-18 season in Nebraska's final year in the Big 12 Conference. In the days leading up to the 2010-11 season, Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Athletic Director Tom Osborne announced that the Huskers were making an historic move to become the 12th team in the Big Ten Conference beginning in 2011-12. As the Huskers begin a new chapter in their history with entrance into a new conference, another former Nebraska High School Player of the Year is ready to be NU's first star of the Big Ten. Jordan Hooper, who won state player-of-the-year honors in both 2008 and 2010, will join 2009 Washington High School Player of the Year Lindsey Moore as cornerstones of the 2011-12 Huskers. In her first season in Lincoln, Hooper earned a spot on the 2011 Big 12 All-Freshman team. The Alliance, Neb., native led the Huskers in scoring and led all Big 12 rookies in rebounding. Her 14.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game represented one of the top three seasons by a Nebraska freshman in history. The 6-2 forward also shattered the freshman three-point record by connecting on 67 threes. Moore, a Big 12 All-Freshman selection in 2010, added honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades in 2011. The 5-9 point guard blossomed into one of the Big 12's best all-around offensive threats as a sophomore. She ranked among the top 10 scorers during conference play with 17 points per game, while ranking third in the league in assists with nearly six per game on the year. With budding stars Moore and Hooper leading the way, the Huskers will also begin practicing in the new Hendricks Training Complex at the Devaney Center in 2011-12. While they usher in a new era in a new practice home, the Huskers continue to anticipate the move to a new home court with the building of a new downtown arena. The Huskers expect to move into their new home to continue to rewrite history in 2013-14.

NEBRASKA'S KAREN JENNINGS WON THE WADE TROPHY IN 1993 | HISTORY
178 | nebraska women's basketball | 2011-12
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.

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. She joined fellow 2,000-point scorer Karen Jennings as the only Huskers to have their jerseys retired, when Ivy's was honored on-court before NU's win over Kansas on Jan. 16, 2011. 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 pick, 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. It was one of eight 30-point scoring efforts in Ivy's career, including a pair of 35-point performances against Oklahoma and Kansas in 1987. She added the eighth-best rebound

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 games 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. She enters her fifth season with the Bobcats in 2011-12.

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
