Notice of NCAA Probation
From 2007 to 2010 the University of Nebraska unintentionally reimbursed student-athletes for recommended textbooks as well as required textbooks through a failure to properly administer and monitor book scholarships. Only reimbursement for required books is permissible under NCAA rules. As a result, the NCAA placed the University of Nebraska on two-year probation, beginning in January of 2012. The NCAA did not impose additional penalties such as loss of scholarships, forfeiture of games, or a ban on postseason play. Rather, as a condition of probation, Nebraska will continue to educate student-athletes and staff thoroughly on NCAA bylaws and will notify prospective student-athletes of its probationary status.
FOUR RETURNING STARTERS / 10 RETURNING LETTERWINNERS | INTRODUCTION

Big Ten Conference Formed more than 116 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. Big Ten schools have produced more than 1,400 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, more than any other conference, including 36 in the last academic year. 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 2012. The Big Ten ranks first with 30 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medicine (research and primary care), business and engineering.
Successful Programs
During the 2011-12 season, the Big Ten claimed seven team national championships, including titles for Illinois men’s gymnastics, Minnesota women’s ice hockey, Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State fencing and synchronized swimming, Penn State wrestling and Wisconsin men’s cross country. The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 12 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2002-03 to 2011-12. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
Student-Athlete Opportunities
Big Ten universities provide over $136 million in direct financial aid to more than 10,000 student-athlete, more than any conference. The Big Ten sponsors 25 official conference sports, 12 for men and 13 for women. The 26th conference sport, men’s ice hockey, will begin in 2013.
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. Nearly 1,000 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis. In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network. The Big Ten Network launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and now is in its sixth year of operation. It is available to 90 million homes in the United States and Canada, through agreements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco providers. It is also available in 20 countries.
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 the Big Ten’s “Honor Legends. Building Leaders” campaign links directly to the Big Ten mission.
Big Ten Conference Highlights
• Big Ten universities provide approximately $136 million in direct financial aid to more than 10,000 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships. • Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with 298 teams.

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. BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete? A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: Who is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is Contact? A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Q: What is Recruiting? A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.

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.

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.

Key Nebraska will play its final home season (games listed above in bold) at the 13,595-seat Bob Devaney Sports Center, located at 14th and Court streets in Lincoln. The playing court at Nebraska runs East and West with the team benches and scorer's table located on the North side of the court. The postgame media room is located just off the Southwest corner of the court.
Schedule Notes
2012-13 Schedule Packs Postseason Punch
Nebraska's 31-game regular-season schedule features 18 games against 2012 postseason squads. NU's schedule is highlighted by 12 games against 2012 NCAA Tournament teams, including a matchup with Elite Eight qualifier Maryland and two games with Sweet 16 Penn State. The Huskers play three games against 2012 WNIT teams and three contests against WBI participants.
Huskers Face Conference Champs Seven Times
Nebraska will play seven games against six teams that won conference titles in 2012. Maryland headlines the list of conference champs after claiming the 2012 ACC Tournament title. The Terps finished with a 31-5 record at No. 6 in the final AP poll after advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight. The Huskers will face Big Ten Tournament champion Purdue and Big Ten regular-season champ Penn State at the Devaney Center. Big Sky champion Idaho State will also visit Lincoln, while the Huskers will play Penn State, Summit League champ South Dakota State and Missouri Valley Conference Tournament champion Creighton on the road this season. Overall, Nebraska will play 15 games against teams that finished among the top three in their respective conferences.
Non-Conference Schedules Offers Tough Tests
Nebraska expects to face one of the toughest regularseason schedules in school history in 2012-13. NU's Strength of Schedule has been ranked among the top 30 nationally in four of the past five seasons and the Huskers could face a top-20 schedule this season. Six of Nebraska's non-conference opponents won 20 or more games last season, led by Maryland's 31. Perhaps an even stronger indicator of the depth of NU's non-conference schedule is that 12 of the Huskers' 13 opponents won at least 14 games a year ago.
Big Ten Brings Big Games Every Night
A record seven Big Ten teams advanced to the 2012 NCAA Tournament, and the conference promises to be as tough from top to bottom in 2013. Five of Nebraska's eight Big Ten home games will come against 2012 NCAA Tournament qualifiers, beginning with Big Ten Tournament champion Purdue (Jan. 5) and ending with Big Ten regular-season champ Penn State (March 3). In between, the Huskers will also face Michigan State (Jan. 24), Ohio State (Feb. 14) and Iowa (Feb. 24).

FOUR RETURNING STARTERS / 10 RETURNING LETTERWINNERS | INTRODUCTION
14 | nebraska women's basketball | 2012-13
Moore, Hooper Lead Four Returning Husker Starters A year ago, the Nebraska women's basketball team was one of the youngest in the nation. Nebraska's 12-player roster featured just one active senior, while the starting five included two true freshmen that started every game. Two other true freshmen and a pair of redshirts played major roles throughout the season. But Nebraska's young team grew up fast in its first season in the Big Ten Conference, as point guard Lindsey Moore and forward Jordan Hooper powered the Huskers to the second-most wins in school history and a final top-25 national ranking. The 2012-13 version of the Huskers will still be young, but with four returning starters and 10 letterwinners, Nebraska will add experience to its list of strengths. "Last year's team was one of the youngest I have ever coached," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "They accomplished a lot, and honestly they probably didn't understand how significant it was at the time. Now we've had a full year to work with this group, and we've seen some good growth in the offseason." Moore and Hooper will be expected to lead the Huskers again in 2012-13. The dynamic duo appeared on the 2012 Naismith Trophy Midseason 32, and both have earned spots on the 25-player Wade Watch list this preseason. "Jordan creates matchup problems for opponents because she's 6-2 and can shoot the three," Yori said. "She has a great work ethic and has been improving her game in all areas since her first day on campus. Lindsey can attack teams in a number of ways. She can hit the three, but she can also beat teams off the dribble and get to the basket. She's a smart passer and probably our best defensive player." They are joined by returning starters Emily Cady and Hailie Sample. In 2011-12, they were the first freshmen teammates in NU history to start every game. "Emily was one of the best freshmen in the Big Ten last year, and she is probably just beginning to understand her all-around potential," Yori said. "She can drive, hit the mid-range jumper, knock down the three and she's a really good passer. She is also an aggressive defender and an excellent rebounder at both ends. She's done a good job of gaining strength in the offseason. Hailie is a great team defender. She is a good screener, a smart passer and a solid rebounder." In addition to the four returning starters, Nebraska returns senior forward Meghin Williams and junior center Adrianna Maurer to bolster an already potent inside game. Katie Simon, a 6-2 sophomore forward, adds another option inside, while fellow sophomores Rebecca Woodberry, Brandi Jeffery and Tear'a Laudermill all made significant contributions in the backcourt last season. Overall, Nebraska returns 91.3 percent (2,152 of 2,356) of its points, 93.8 percent (1,310 of 1,396) of its rebounding, 81.7 percent (358 of 438) of its assists and 90.8 percent (257 of 283) of its steals. The Huskers also return 99 percent (100 of 101) of their blocked shots. Nebraska's talent and experience led the Huskers to a No. 16 early preseason ranking from ESPN.com and a No. 19 preseason ranking from Lindy's, after NU finished No. 17 in the final 2012 Associated Press poll. "On paper, we look pretty good. Unfortunately, you don't win games on paper," Yori said. "You have to work hard in the offseason, focus on improving yourself and the team on a daily basis, and then give tremendous effort every day in practice. Our focus this year will be the same as it always is. We want to be the best practicing team in the country. If we do that, then good things will happen." Moore returns as the most experienced Husker and arguably the top point guard in school history. The 5-9 senior from Covington, Wash., was one of eight finalists for the 2012 Lieberman Award, presented to the nation's top point guard.
Returning starters Lindsey Moore (#00), Jordan Hooper (#35), Hailie Sample (#3) and Emily Cady (#23) lead the Huskers against a loaded 2012-13 schedule that includes 18 games against 2012 postseason teams.
Moore, who has started all 98 games in her Nebraska career, has helped lead the Huskers to two of the best seasons in school history. In 2010, she was at the controls of a loaded Husker team that rolled to a perfect 29-0 regular season and claimed the Big 12 title. Along the way, she became the first true freshman point guard in NCAA history to start every game for a team that went unbeaten in the regular season. Moore helped the Huskers finish with a 32-2 overall record, while leading NU to its first NCAA Sweet Sixteen. In 2011-12, Moore led the Huskers to a 24-9 overall record that included a 10-6 Big Ten mark. She earned second-team All-Big Ten honors behind conference point guards Samantha Prahalis from Ohio State and Alex Bentley from Penn State, who both captured spots on the five-player All-Big Ten first team. In most other years, Moore would have been a firstteam all-league pick. She ranked No. 7 in the Big Ten in scoring with 15.7 points per game, while ranking No. 2 in the conference with 5.1 assists per contest. She also ranked No. 5 in the Big Ten with 2.2 steals per game. Moore enters her final season at No. 16 on Nebraska's all-time scoring list with 1,160 points. She also ranks No. 4 on the school's career assist list with 504, within striking distance of Meggan Yedsena's school-record 696. Moore, who as a freshman distributed the ball to firstteam All-America forward Kelsey Griffin in 2009-10, will have the luxury of feeding the ball to another All-American in Hooper in 2012-13.
INTRODUCTION | 2012 NCAA TOURNAMENT
Last season, Hooper earned honorable-mention AllAmerica accolades from the AP after leading the Big Ten with 14 double-doubles as a sophomore. Hooper also led the Big Ten with 9.3 rebounds per game, while ranking fourth in the conference with 18.9 points per contest. Her scoring and rebounding numbers ranked among the top 50 players in the nation. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., was a first-team WBCA All-Region 6 selection and a first-team All-Big Ten choice. She also became the first sophomore in school history to reach 1,000 points in her career. She enters her junior campaign ranked No. 5 on the NU career three-point list with 134, and No. 8 in career double-doubles with 17. She also ranks 22nd on the Nebraska career scoring list. Moore and Hooper have showcased their explosiveness throughout their careers. Hooper owns four career 30-point games and has produced 20 or more points in 21 of her 64 career starts. Moore has added 16 20-point games in her career, including a pair of 30-point efforts. Hooper and Moore became the first Husker teammates to each score 30 points in the same game, combining for 63 in a win at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10, 2011. As the 2011-12 season progressed, Moore and Hooper got more offensive support from Cady. A tremendous all-around player, Cady ranked among the Big Ten's top-six freshmen in five major categories, including scoring (3rd, 9.9 ppg), rebounding (2nd, 6.5 rpg), blocks (3rd, 0.8 bpg), assists (6th, 1.7 apg) and steals (6th, 1.4 spg). Along the way, the Big Ten All-

10 Returning Letterwinners Give NU Talent, Depth Freshman pick became the fourth Husker freshman in history to produce 300 points and 200 rebounds. In Big Ten play she was even better, averaging 12.3 points per game. Through her first eight games as a freshman, Cady averaged just 4.8 points per game and produced double figures just once. In the last 21 games, the 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., notched double figures 14 times. She grabbed double-figure rebounds in three of NU's final four games, including a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. All three of Cady's double-doubles came in Nebraska's final 12 games. She notched a double-double against Iowa with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the Big Ten Tournament, after producing her first career double-double with 11 points and a career-best 12 rebounds in Nebraska's epic triple-overtime victory at No. 15 Purdue on Feb. 2. Her performance at Purdue included a miraculous 30-footer at the buzzer to send the game to a third overtime, where the Huskers eventually prevailed. It was one of her 25 three-pointers on the year, which ranked No. 7 by a Husker freshman in history. Her 216 rebounds ranked No. 3 and her team-leading 28 blocks ranked No. 5 all-time among Husker freshmen. Sample joined Cady, Hooper and Moore in Nebraska's starting five for all 33 games. The 6-1 forward from Flower Mound, Texas, also joined her three teammates on the list of just nine Huskers in history to start every game as true freshmen. Sample averaged 3.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists while providing strong defense. She sparked the Huskers' run to the Big Ten title game by averaging 7.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in four tournament games. Sample's health could play a role in the Huskers' fortunes in 2012-13. She suffered a stress reaction in her leg before NU's NCAA Tournament loss. She also has battled back pain that limited her during the offseason. She was not alone in fighting injuries down the stretch last year. Hooper also nursed a stress reaction in her lower leg before the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers gave her extra rest in the offseason. Moore suffered a knee bruise against Northwestern on Feb. 16, that slowed her physically at the end of the season. Cady suffered a knee injury late in the year that required offseason surgery. "There's no doubt that we wore down a little bit at the end of last season. That probably had a lot to do with playing four games in four days at the Big Ten Tournament," Yori said. "We try to play a deep rotation with 10 to 12 players, but last year we only had 10 active players at the end of the year. Six of them were freshmen, so we probably had to rely a little too much on our starters. Hopefully a year of experience and some fresh legs will help us combat that a little better this season." Williams will be the most experienced Husker off the bench. The 6-1 senior forward from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., played all 33 games last year, averaging 2.2 points and 3.0 rebounds. She joins Moore as the only remaining Huskers from NU's 2010 Sweet Sixteen team. Williams has been limited by injuries throughout her career. Maurer gives the Huskers their lone center on the roster. The 6-3 junior from Shawnee Mission, Kan., averaged 4.2 points and 3.5 rebounds through Nebraska's first 10 games of 2011-12, before succumbing to a back injury. She made her last appearance at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10, and underwent back surgery Jan. 19. Maurer progressed ahead of schedule during an extensive offseason of rehabilitation, and she could provide Nebraska with a stronger presence on the block. "Meghin and Adri's health could be keys for us," Yori said. "If they can stay on the court, they can provide us with some flexibility, versatility and depth inside."
Simon also could play a more significant role inside for Cady for the Cornhusker Shooting Stars. the Huskers. The 6-2 sophomore forward from Roseville, "We're excited about Sadie joining our team," Yori said. Calif., runs the floor well and has shown the ability to "She can shoot the three and get to the basket, but I think hit the outside shot.

"Brandi and T learned a lot from a year on the court, "We think we have put together another top-25 and during the offseason," Yori said. "Hopefully we can schedule," Yori said. "We will be tested early and often in the non-conference season in what could be the toughest see them apply that this season."

"Becca has proven she can score, and she gives us we were last year, even if we have a few more losses." experience in the backcourt," Yori said. "She could play a pretty big role for us this year." Nebraska improved its depth by adding freshmen Rachel Theriot, Sadie Murren and Courtney Aitken. Theriot, a 6-0 point guard, ranked among the nation's top-100 prospects by multiple recruiting services. A three-time All-Ohio pick, she averaged 16.6 points, 11.0 assists and 6.0 boards at Midpark High School in 2011-12. "We are really excited to add her to our team," Yori said. "She brings great size to the point guard position, and she can also play shooting guard. We love Rachel's versatility. She is an unselfish player who loves to set her teammates up to score. We think she could have a bright future at Nebraska." Murren was a second-team All-Nebraska pick as a senior at Wahoo High School in 2012. Ranked among the top 250 prospects in the nation by several recruiting services, Murren was a three-time first-team Class C-1 All-State selection for the Warriors. She averaged 17.6 points per game as a senior, after averaging 16.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.0 steals as a junior. Nebraska's three freshmen (from left, Sadie Murren, Rachel Theriot, Courtney Murren also played with Emily Aitken) will try to help the Huskers climb the ladder in the Big Ten in 2012-13.

NEBRASKA
Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's emerging programs under Coach Connie Yori. The Huskers have made eight postseason tournament appearances, including an NCAA Tournament trip in 2012, and averaged 20 wins per season since 2003-04. The Huskers competed 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. The excitement will continue to build with the addition of the new Pinnacle Bank Arena 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 | 14 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN AP TOP 25 ENTERING 2012-13

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 eight postseason tournament berths since 2004, including four NCAA Tournament bids in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012. 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 10 NCAA Tournament trips since 1988 (1988, 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012) 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

WNBA & BEYOND 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. In her third season with the Sun in 2012, Griffin helped Connecticut win the regular season Eastern Conference title and advance deep in the playoffs. Fellow Husker forward Cory Montgomery was also chosen in the third round of the 2010 WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. She has continued her professional career in Europe. In 2008, another Nebraska forward earned a WNBA spot, as Danielle Page 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 two professional seasons overseas, along with Page and former Husker Chelsea Aubry. Aubry (bottom right) has enjoyed success at the national level. The 6-2 forward led Team Canada to the World Championships in 2006 and 2010, before becoming the first Husker to play in the Olympics in 2012. A Canadian captain, Aubry has been a National Team member since 2005, and plays professionally in Australia. Anna DeForge (top right) has 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: ENDING AN ERA
The Bob Devaney Sports Center has been the home of Nebraska women's basketball since November of 1976. 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 Devaney from 2009 to 2011. In 2009-10, the Huskers were a perfect 16-0 at home. Over the past five seasons Nebraska is 65-14 at home with 11 wins over top-25 teams. Husker fans have helped the Big Red rank among the top 30 nationally in average home attendance for more than a decade, including 19th in 2011-12. 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 schoolrecord crowd of 13,595 helped Nebraska celebrate a Big 12 title with a win over Missouri on Feb. 27, 2010. NU ranked seventh nationally in attendance with 7,390 fans per game. The University of Nebraska provides its women's basketball program with some of the best support in the country. In 2011, the Huskers welcomed the addition of the Hendricks Training Complex to the South side of the Devaney Center. The Hendricks Training Complex provides a new practice facility for men's and women's basketball, along with new locker rooms, team areas and coaches offices.

Hendricks Training Complex
The Nebraska women's basketball program moved into a new home on Oct. 13, 2011, with the official opening of the Hendricks Training Complex. The $18.7 million addition to the southwest side of the Bob Devaney Sports Center is the new practice home of the men's and women's basketball and wrestling programs. The Hendricks Training Complex provided 80,000 new square feet to NU's facilities, while also renovating 4,000 square feet inside the Devaney Center. The entire facility was specifically designed to maximize performance and efficiency for current and future Husker student-athletes, while providing technologically advanced settings to succeed. The grand lobby of the Hendricks Training Complex (bottom left) includes a 5,500-pound granite basketball fountain with a net-like base. The lobby also includes a giant video wall with 14 monitors. The Players' Corridor (bottom right) is a common hallway leading to the men's and women's basketball team areas. An LED sensor lighting system with 3-D basketballs captures the motion of the Huskers to follow them down the hallway.

Alfonzo Dennard was named the Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year, while Brett Maher became the first player to win the conference's punter and place-kicker of the year awards in the same season since 2001. Chad Wright claimed a national championship in the men's discus. Overall in 2011-12, 30 Husker student-athletes combined to capture 39 All-America awards across all sports. As a testament to Nebraska’s national recruiting prowess, the All-Americans came to NU from 12 states and five foreign countries. The Cornhusker state showed its success in keeping the best and brightest of its future leaders at home, as nine All-Americans came from the state of Nebraska.

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. He announced his retirement on Sept. 26, 2012, and will continue in the role until Special Assistant to the Chancellor Shawn Eichorst takes the reins as NU's 14th athletic director Jan. 1, 2013. 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 will continue 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 the 16,000-seat Pinnacle Bank 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 also have benefitted from the new Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The facility, which opened in October of 2011, includes practice and team areas, and greatly expanded athletic medicine and strength training areas. The Nebraska baseball and softball programs also received a new indoor practice facility that opened in the fall of 2011 at Haymarket Park. 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 competitive success. In 2011-12, 10 Husker teams finished among the top 25 in the nation, including the Nebraska football team’s New Year’s Day appearance in the Capital One Bowl. 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 four consecutive nine-win seasons. Pelini’s Huskers have finished among the Associated Press top 25 in each of the last three seasons. The football program also contributed three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to Nebraska’s nation-leading total of 299 all-time, across all sports. Coach Mark Manning’s Husker wrestling program added a pair of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. On the mat, NU tied for 21st at the NCAA Championships despite entering the season in what appeared to be a rebuilding year. The tradition-rich NU volleyball program captured the Huskers’ first-ever Big Ten Conference title in any sport in 2011, finishing No. 12 nationally while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Coach John Cook’s squad has claimed four conference crowns since Osborne’s return to Nebraska. The Husker women’s gymnastics team led by Coach Dan Kendig added its first Big Ten championship, while finishing eighth nationally in 2012 for its third straight top 10 finish. The Nebraska women’s indoor track and field team contributed another Big Ten title. Coach Gary Pepin’s men added a tie for 11th at the NCAA Championships during the outdoor season for its best team finish since 2003, after tying for 23rd at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The NU men’s and women’s track and field teams have combined for four conference crowns, while producing eight top-20 finishes over the past five years. The NU women’s basketball team produced one of its best seasons in school history by rolling to a 24-9 record that included a run to the Big Ten Tournament championship game. Coach Connie
Yori’s Huskers finished No. 17 in the final AP poll and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time since Osborne’s return to Nebraska. The 2010 Huskers ran to the best season in school history with a Big 12 title and an NCAA Sweet 16 berth in 2010. Coach Scott Jacobson led the Nebraska women’s tennis team to the best season in school history in 2012, posting a school-record 24 wins and No. 16 final ranking. The Huskers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the third straight season the team has advanced to the postseason. The Husker men’s tennis program added its first two NCAA appearances in school history in 2010 and 2011. Coach Bill Straub’s bowling team added a third-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships, marking the program’s fifth straight top-eight showing. The Husker bowlers claimed the 2009 NCAA title. The Husker softball team made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2009 to 2011, 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. The baseball program responded by posting a 35-23 record in his first season. It marked a fivegame improvement in the win column over 2011. Osborne made another high-profile hire with the addition of men’s basketball coach Tim Miles on March 24, 2012. Osborne also hired former Husker Stacy Underwood as NU’s fourth rifle coach on May 24, 2012. Academically, Nebraska produced eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011-12, increasing its nation-leading total to 299 all-time, across all sports. NU also graduated a school-record 155 student-athletes from August of 2011 through May of 2012. Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006. He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season. In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998. Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons. Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history. Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993. Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

• Executive Associate Athletic Director (Ninth 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 Tim Miles as the Huskers' new coach in March of 2012. Boehm has worked to create a fan-friendly atmosphere at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, which has 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 Husker women added their fourth NCAA Tournament trip in the past six seasons in 2012, after running to a runner-up finish at their inaugural Big Ten Tournament. 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 Pinnacle Bank Arena for men's and women's basketball, which is scheduled to open for the 201314 season. He also worked to help develop Nebraska's new practice facility - the Hendricks Training Complex - which opened at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in October 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 Verizon, Pepsi and adidas as premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics. Boehm held the same position at Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2003. Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers' basketball program with the men's team posting back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. During construction of the Panthers' new athletic facilities, Boehm played a central role in Pitt's athletic teams moving to the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field and the Petersen Events Center. Boehm served as interim athletic director at Pittsburgh for nearly five months before coming to Nebraska. During that time, he hired new men's (Jamie Dixon) and women's basketball (Agnus Berenato) and soccer (Sue-Moy Chin) head coaches for the Panther program. 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.

"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 in her 11th year in Lincoln. A young Husker lineup that featured six freshmen contributors and just one active senior among 10 players, ran to a 24-9 overall record and a 10-6 Big Ten mark in 2011-12. Along the way, Yori's Huskers stormed into the Big Ten Conference Championship Game in their first-ever appearance at the tournament. Nebraska carried that momentum to a No. 6 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament - the Huskers' fourth NCAA appearance in the past six seasons. NU's 24 wins marked the second-highest win total in school history, while the Huskers' final No. 17 ranking by the Associated Press marked Nebraska's second final top-25 ranking in the past three seasons. The 2011-12 Huskers matched the school record by staying in the AP Top 25 for the final 14 weeks of the season. Much of Nebraska's success came without an active center on the roster, following the season-ending injury to sophomore Adrianna Maurer after 10 games. The Huskers also had just one active senior in 2011-12, after a season-ending injury to Harleen Sidhu. The Huskers, who return 10 letterwinners in 2012-13, will be led by Wade and Naismith national player-of-theyear candidates Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper. Moore, a senior from Covington, Wash., was one of eight finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award honoring the nation's top point guard. As a junior in 2011-12, Moore earned a spot on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and was a second-team All-Big Ten selection. Another Wade and Naismith Trophy candidate, Hooper returns as a junior for the Huskers in 2012-13. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., was an honorable-mention Associated Press All-American as a sophomore in 2012. A first-team All-Big Ten selection and a member of the Big Ten All-Tournament Team, Hooper was also a first-team WBCA All-Region 6 choice. She led the Big Ten in rebounding and double-doubles, while ranking third in the conference in scoring in 2011-12. Hooper scored more points than any other sophomore in school history and became the first sophomore at Nebraska to reach 1,000 career points. Another Nebraska native, Emily Cady, joined Moore and Hooper in earning conference honors in 2011-12. Cady, a 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., claimed a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team while becoming the first Husker freshman in two decades to earn honorable-mention all-conference accolades from the league media. Cady ranked among the Big Ten's top six freshmen in all five major categories (points, rebounds, assists, blocked shots, steals). Cady and fellow forward Hailie Sample became the first freshman duo in school history to start every game for Nebraska. In fact, with Cady and Sample leading the way, Nebraska's freshmen played the most minutes of any freshman class in the Big Ten, and they were also by far the most productive. Nebraska also excelled in the classroom, with six Huskers earning academic All-Big Ten honors in 2012. Off the court, senior guard Kaitlyn Burke won Nebraska's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award across all female sports and was the President of the Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. 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 in the top 10, but spent nine straight weeks in the top 10 to end the season, after beginning the year unranked. Yori's Huskers captured the school's first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the program's first NCAA Sweet 16, before finishing No. 4 in the final official NCAA RPI. NU also finished No. 4 in the final AP Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25. Yori, who earned national coach-of-the-year honors from the WBCA, AP, USBWA, the Naismith Trophy and the inaugural Kay Yow Award, led the Huskers to the biggest single-season turnaround in the nation in 2009-10. Nebraska improved 17 games in the win column after advancing to the postseason in 2008-09.
COACHES | FOUR NCAA TOURNAMENT BIDS SINCE 2007
The Huskers, who were the preseason pick to finish sixth in the Big 12 by league coaches, went undefeated in the nation's No. 1 RPI conference and Yori captured Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Bolstered by the return of first-team All-American and 2010 Big 12 Player-of-the-Year Kelsey Griffin, the Huskers dominated the opposition in 2009-10. In addition Griffin, who claimed first-team All-Big 12 accolades for the third time, Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner earned first-team All-Big 12 awards. Turner was also named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, while Griffin joined Turner on the All-Big 12 Defensive Team. Dominique Kelley added honorablemention All-Big 12 accolades. Moore 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. 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 over eight league home games, while shattering the school attendance records. 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 reckoned 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 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." In Nebraska's final year in the Big 12, the Huskers were ravaged by injuries and the departure of six seniors on their way to a 13-18 record. But the Huskers welcomed four true freshmen and a pair of redshirts who made major impacts in NU's 2011-12 resurgence. 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, 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 Griffin to an ankle injury before the season began. The Huskers were dealt a further blow inside with the loss of center Nikki Bober, just days after helping the Huskers to a win over No. 24 Arizona State at the Devaney Center on Dec. 28. The Sun Devils went on to advance to the 2009 NCAA Elite Eight.

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 play, going 5-2 in its last seven regular-season Big 12 games. NU 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 non-conference road games at LSU and New Mexico. 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, 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 league games. In Griffin's absence, Montgomery emerged as a rising star in the Big 12, ranking among the league's top 10 in scoring and rebounding. In her first season as a starter, Montgomery earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 by averaging 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Turner also increased her production on the offensive end, averaging 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per contest while leading the Huskers in three-point shooting and steals. Turner's explosiveness on the defensive end earned her a second straight spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team. In 2007-08, Yori guided Nebraska to one of its best seasons, as the Huskers claimed their third NCAA Tournament victory in history with a 61-58 win over Xavier in College Park, Md. Along with leading Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament win in a decade, Yori helped the Huskers to their first backto-back NCAA Tournament appearances since the 1999 and 2000 seasons, while posting back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since 1998 and 1999.

In 2007-08, Yori's Huskers finished with a 21-12 record despite a 13-player roster that featured five true freshmen, five sophomores and one junior college transfer. Griffin, an All-Big 12 forward, was the only Husker to ever start a game in an NU uniform heading into the 2007-08 campaign. Along with their youth, the Huskers faced the challenge of the best schedule in school history. NU played 24 of its 33 games against 2008 postseason tournament teams, including 16 games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Nebraska's strength of schedule ranked No. 24 nationally heading into postseason play. Despite Nebraska's youth and imposing schedule, the Huskers finished with a 9-7 Big 12 mark in a league that sent 11 teams to the postseason, including eight that won first-round NCAA Tournament games. Along the way, Nebraska became one of only three schools - joining Baylor and Oklahoma - to post four straight .500 or better Nebraska Coach Connie Yori with her husband, Kirk Helms, and their son, Lukas.

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 Big 12 continued in 2006-07. The Huskers finished with a 22-10 overall record that included a 10-6 league mark. NU earned a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament by finishing in a tie for fourth in the league standings. Hardy led the Huskers in 2006-07 by capturing her third straight first-team All-Big 12 award before being selected in the third round of the WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun. A WBCA Region 5 All-American, Hardy became the second Husker in history to be drafted by the WNBA. She also earned
her bachelor's degree from Nebraska the day before hitting the game-winning shot in her professional exhibition debut. Griffin joined Hardy in capturing first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2006-07, becoming the fourth Husker to earn first-team all-league honors as a sophomore. Griffin was a first-team academic All-Big 12 pick and a member of the Big 12 Winter Good Works Team. Aubry, a captain and member of the Canadian Senior National Team who eventually became Nebraska's first Olympian in 2012, added honorable-mention All-Big 12 recognition as a senior. She also earned academic All-Big 12 honors and served on Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee with Griffin. Nebraska's 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 Danielle Page, who spent the 2008 WNBA season with the Connecticut Sun. Page enters her fifth professional season overseas in 2012-13. Yori's third class included Griffin, who became the second player in school history with more than 2,000 points and 1,000 career rebounds. Yori's fourth class was her largest and most accomplished, including WBCA All-American and Miss Nebraska Basketball Yvonne Turner, All-Arizona guard Nicole Neals, All-Minnesota forward Cory Montgomery, Iowa Female Athlete of the Year Kala Kuhlmann and All-Nebraska center Nikki Bober. NU's fifth group included 2007 Miss Nebraska Basketball Dominique Kelley, who set a Husker record by starting all 33 games as a freshman in 2007-08, Canadian National Program member Kaitlyn Burke, California State Junior College Tournament MVP Tay Hester, French National Team member Jessica Periago, and Texas all-stater Catheryn Redmon. The Huskers' sixth class featured Canadian National program member Harleen Sidhu and Texan Layne Reeves, while NU's seventh class included ESPN Top 100 point guard and state of Washington Gatorade Player of the Year Lindsey Moore, along with California high school standout Meghin Williams. Moore earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team after breaking Kelley's NU record by starting all 34 games in 2009-10. Nebraska's eighth recruiting class lived up to the lofty expectations created by the success of the Huskers' 2010
Connie Yori was named the 2010 National Coach of the Year after leading Nebraska to a 32-2 season that included a 16-0 conference mark and the Huskers' only Big 12 regular-season title. Nebraska tied the Big 12 record with a 30game winning streak and advanced to the 2010 NCAA Sweet 16.

senior class. That group included two-time Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year and WBCA honorable-mention All-American Jordan Hooper from Alliance, along with Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year Rebecca Woodberry. California standout Katie Simon and Kansas City center Adrianna Maurer. Yori's ninth class could end up rivaling the best in school history. Led by Nebraska prep star Emily Cady and Texas standout Hailie Sample, the four Husker newcomers in 201112, joined redshirts Woodberry and Simon in making up the most productive class in Husker history. Parade All-American and 2011 Louisiana High School Player of the Year Brandi Jeffery and All-California guard Tear'a Laudermill made major impacts off the bench in 2011-12. Cady and Sample became just the eighth and ninth freshmen in school history to start every game, while playing major roles in pushing the Huskers back to the NCAA Tournament. NU's six freshmen in 2011-12 combined for nearly 900 points and 600 rebounds, almost doubling the production of any other class in school history. Yori's 10th class is led by All-Ohio guard Rachel Theriot and Nebraska all-staters Sadie Murren and Courtney Aitken. Theriot, a 6-0 point guard, was ranked among the top 100 players in the nation, while Murren was rated among the country's top 250. Yori came to Nebraska after 10 successful years at Creighton, where she closed her career as the 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year after leading CU to MVC regular-season and tournament titles and a 2002 NCAA Tournament bid.

CU also set school and league records with 249 three-pointers to rank fifth nationally with 8.0 per game. The 50-year-old native of Ankeny, Iowa, produced a 170115 (.596) mark in 10 seasons at Creighton. Overall, Yori spent 17 seasons at Creighton, including four as a guard (1982-83 through 1985-86) and three as an assistant coach (1986-87 through 1988-89) under Bruce Rasmussen.

CU earned a No. 10 seed in the Midwest Region and defeated No. 7-seed Bowling Green (84-73) before losing to defending national champion Texas Tech (75-65) in the second round. In her second season (1993-94), Yori's Bluejays raced to a 24-7 record and a 14-2 MVC mark. Her 2001-02 Creighton squad matched that mark, while setting a school record with 16 conference victories, and also advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Yori graduated from Creighton with a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1986, and earned a master's degree in sports administration from St. Thomas University in 1990. As a player for the Bluejays, Yori ranks third on the school's all-time scoring list with 2,010 points.

A Conversation with Coach Connie Yori Q: What qualities do you look for in student-athletes that you recruit to Nebraska? CY: I've always believed that if you surround yourself with good people, then good things will happen. If you recruit quality student-athletes with good character, then things will fall into place. We want to be committed to recruiting student-athletes who have quality character and are good athletes. I believe the game is still a team game. You can have great individual players, but if they don't play together, then you are not going to be successful. We want players who understand team concepts and believe in those things. We want players who care about each other and respect one another. When you have that, then special things can happen. Q: What do you hope student-athletes will take from their years with the Nebraska program? CY: We want them to leave here a better person than they came. We want to recruit quality people, but as a coaching staff we also want to impact our studentathletes in a positive way. As coaches, we have a parenting role when our players are away from home. We want our kids to be able to go out into the world and be productive members of society after they graduate from college. We want them to be overall good people and make good decisions based on a good value system. It is our responsibility as coaches to help develop those things. We surround our student-athletes with people who have a good values and we want to help mold our players in a positive way. Q: What do you envision as the direction of the Nebraska women's basketball program? CY: We have come a long way in our first 10 years in our program. In 2010, we won the Big 12 championship, earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and made it to the Sweet 16. Last year, in our first season in the Big Ten Conference, we were one of the youngest teams in the league and finished 10-6. We won the second-most games in school history and we advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Big Ten is not only one of the nation's most stable and tradition-rich conferences in all sports, it is a great women's basketball conference. Overall, our primary focus is still recruiting quality student-athletes who our fans can be proud of. We want our student-athletes to be players our fans will enjoy watching. We also want our student-athletes to be here for the right reasons. We want to be a team that competes for conference championships on a regular basis. If you are competing for a Big Ten championship, then you are going to be a top-10 team competing for the national title. With the right players, those goals are possible at Nebraska. Q: How has the move to the Big Ten helped Nebraska? CY: Not only do the top teams in the league battle for national titles, but six or seven other teams are heading to the NCAA Tournament. The Big Ten Conference is filled with great teams and great tradition, and it provides tremendous academic opportunities for studentathletes. The Big Ten Conference has also committed itself to helping provide national exposure to its teams and athletes through the Big Ten Network. Last year, the Big Ten Network provided more national television coverage for women's basketball than any other conference in the country. The Big Ten Network reaches more than 80 million homes across the nation, and it
Connie Yori, the 2010 National Coach of the Year, enters her 11th season at Nebraska in 2012-13. Yori, who needs just two more victories to become Nebraska's career wins leader, has guided NU to four NCAA tournaments in the last six years.

certainly makes the world feel smaller to the parents of our players from outside the state of Nebraska.
will help our players graduate and be ready to take the next step in their lives.
Q: How would you describe the style of play you would like to feature at Nebraska? CY: We are up-tempo on both ends of the court. Some programs are up-tempo offensively, but we can create offense with our defense. We play aggressively at both ends of the court and make it a 94-foot game. We were not able to do that in my first few years because of our depth, but then we began moving in that direction and in 2009-10 we achieved it. We were one of the top 10 offensive teams in the country in 2009-10, while also being an excellent defensive team. In 201112, we ranked among the top teams in the Big Ten by averaging more than 71 points per game. Our style allows us to feature more talented allaround players because we want to play with expanded rotations to keep our legs fresh. We want to create offense with defense. Being an up-tempo team requires the right personnel. We want players who not only know how to attack but also want to learn to be smarter, disciplined basketball players. Those are the kind of players who not only have success at the Division I level, but also at the professional level. It is an exciting style to play, and we want to run.
Q: What kind of support does the women's basketball program receive at the University of Nebraska? CY: We have one of the best athletic departments in the country. Our athletic staff has a great love of Nebraska, and they are committed to helping us in the right manner make our program successful. Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm was hired specifically to help our program. It even goes as high as our chancellor, Harvey Perlman, who has shown great support of our program. There is no pressure to cut corners. We want to do things the right way. Our new practice facility, the Hendricks Training Complex, gives us a tremendous advantage with a new locker room, team room, weight room and athletic medicine facilities for our players. In 2013-14, we will move into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, where are games will be a focal point of not just the campus, but of the entire city of Lincoln.
Q: How would you rate the academic support provided to student-athletes at Nebraska? CY: I truly believe our academic support services are the best in the country. Other schools come here and try to duplicate our system and model their programs after ours. What's great about Nebraska's academic support is that it can help a good student become a great student, and an average student can become a good student. There is a total commitment by the people working in the academic area, as well as by our coaching staff. The two groups working hand-in-hand
Q: How impressive has Nebraska's fan support been in your first 10 seasons as NU's head coach? CY: I have been astounded by the support of Husker fans. It was incredible to see 3,000 people at a game in 200203 when we were not winning a lot of games. Not only did they come out, but they stayed the entire game. They made a huge difference in the game. In 2009-10 our program experienced all-time highs, ranking seventh nationally in attendance with nearly 7,500 fans per game. We also led the Big 12 by averaging nearly 11,500 fans per league game and our season ticket sales nearly doubled from 2009-10 to 2010-11. We annually rank among the top 20 teams in home attendance, and the interest in our program at the local and national level continues to grow.

Outlook (2012-13)
One of the nation's top point guards, Lindsey Moore returns for her fourth year as a starter to lead the Huskers into the 2012-13 campaign. A Wade and Naismith national player-of-the-year candidate in 2012-13, the 5-9 senior from Covington, Wash., also will be a contender for the Nancy Lieberman Award presented to the nation's top point guard. As a junior in 2011-12, Moore was one of eight finalists for the Lieberman Award and one of 32 players named nationally to the Naismith Trophy Midseason 32. She joined teammate Jordan Hooper on the prestigious Naismith list, making Nebraska one of only 10 teams nationally with two players named to the list. Potentially the top point guard in Nebraska history, Moore has started 98 consecutive games since arriving on campus as the 2009 Washington High School Player of the Year. As a freshman, Moore was at the controls of the best team in Husker history, helping National Player-of-the-Year finalist Kelsey Griffin and the Huskers to the NCAA Sweet 16, a Big 12 title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. After losing a trio of first-team All-Big 12 players to graduation, and a fourth to injury during her sophomore season, Moore transitioned from a pass-first point

guard to a primary scoring threat in 2010-11. As a team in 2010-11, the Huskers missed the postseason, but Moore more than doubled her individual scoring average from her freshman campaign, while also nearly doubling her rebounding total. She also dished out more assists as a sophomore than a freshman, while playing a school-record 1,164 minutes in just 31 games. As a junior in 2011-12, Moore fueled Nebraska's return to national prominence. The Huskers returned to the NCAA Tournament, while Moore led NU to the second Associated Press final top-25 ranking in school history. Nebraska's 24 wins trailed only NU's 32 victories in 2009-10 for the most in school history. Moore, a Husker captain, has also played a major role in the development of honorable-mention All-American and first-team AllBig Ten forward Jordan Hooper and Big Ten All-Freshman forward Emily Cady. Moore enters her senior season hoping to have Nebraska back in top-25 contention while making noise in the postseason. Moore ranks No. 4 on NU's career list with 504 assists. She also ranks eighth on NU's career three-point list with 121. She ranks 16th in school history with 1,160 points. She is in position to challenge school records for games started (127) and career assists (696). Moore is

She already owns the distinction of being the only player in school history to record a triple-double, which came against Florida A&M on Jan. 2, 2011. Moore will contend for All-Big Ten honors after claiming second-team All-Big Ten accolades in 2011-12. In Nebraska's first season in the Big Ten, Moore ranked No. 2 in the conference and 29th nationally with 5.1 assists per game. She also ranked fifth in the Big Ten in steals (2.2 spg) and seventh in the conference in scoring (15.7 ppg). She guided a resurgent Nebraska team back to the NCAA Tournament after finishing with a 10-6 regularseason Big Ten mark. Moore was also the catalyst in the Huskers' run to the Big Ten Tournament championship game. In four tournament games, Moore averaged 18.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals. She capped the tournament run with 27 points, five assists and four rebounds against No. 21 Purdue in the title game. That followed a 26-point effort that included six assists and five steals in a quarterfinal win over Iowa. For her efforts, she was one of five players named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team.

As a junior, Moore scored 20 or more points on 10 occasions, including a season-high 31 points to go along with nine assists and six rebounds at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10, 2011. Seven of her 20-point efforts in 2011-12 came against Big Ten competition, including four games with 25 or more points against league foes. She owns 16 games with 20 or more points during her career (all the past two seasons), including a careerhigh 33 at Kansas on Feb. 26, 2011. Twelve of her career 20-point efforts have come against conference foes. "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."
Junior (2011-12)
Moore earned second-team All-Big Ten honors by averaging 15.7 points, 5.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game as a junior. She produced double figures in 27 of 33 games, including a pair of double-doubles (pointsassists). For the season, Moore hit 42.6 percent of her field goal attempts, including 31.2 percent (48-154) of her three-pointers. Her shooting percentages dipped during the season because she was frequently Nebraska's final option in late-shot clock situations. She also hit a stellar 81.9 percent (145-177) of her free throws. Her free throws made and attempted both ranked among the top-10 single-season marks in Nebraska history. Her 167 assists on the year ranked eighth in school history and third all-time among NU juniors. Her 72 steals just missed a top-10 season at Nebraska, as did her 48 three-pointers made. She added a spot on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team by averaging 18.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.8 steals while leading the the Huskers to the Big Ten title game. Moore had 27 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals while playing a career-high 50 minutes in the Big Ten Championship Game against No. 21 Purdue. She added 26 points, six assists and five steals in the conference quarterfinal win over Iowa. Her performance against the Hawkeyes included a near-halfcourt threepointer at the buzzer to close the first half. She produced 10 20-point efforts on the year, including six with 26 or more points. Moore opened her junior season by producing double figures in the first four games, including 10 points and a career-high six steals in just 22 minutes in a seasonopening win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. She added her first double-double of the season with 18 points and a career-high matching 11 assists in just 22 minutes in a win over Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 15. She went 7-of-7 from the field, including 2-of-2 from three-point range, while hitting both of her free throw attempts against the Devilettes. She earned the first Big Ten Player-of-the-Week award in school history after her 22-point, six-assist effort in a win over No. 23 USC Nov. 18. Moore was held to eight points but had eight assists and four steals in a win at Florida A&M, before producing 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals two days later at Florida State.

Outlook (2012-13)
All-American Jordan Hooper put together one of the best sophomore seasons in school history in 2011-12, averaging 18.9 points and a Big Ten-leading 9.3 rebounds per game to power the Huskers to the NCAA Tournament. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., was a midseason candidate for both the Wade and Naismith trophies before earning honorable-mention All-America accolades from the Associated Press. With a solid offseason gaining strength, honing her skills and expanding her game at both ends of the court, Hooper hopes to help the Huskers make another run to the NCAA Tournament while contending for individual national honors in 2013. The first-team All-Big Ten selection became the first sophomore in Nebraska history to reach the 1,000-point plateau for her career, finishing her second season in the Husker starting lineup with 1,078 points. Hooper's 624 points were the most ever by a Nebraska sophomore, while her 306 rebounds ranked No. 3 among sophomores in Husker history. One of the top long-range shooting threats among forwards around the country, Hooper has put herself on pace to challenge for Nebraska's career three-point record of 267 held by three-time first-team All-Big 12 guard Kiera Hardy (2004-07). Hooper has already climbed to No. 5 on Nebraska's career three-point list with 134 in

her first two seasons. She has hit at least one three in 59 of her 64 career games, including 30 of 33 games as a sophomore in 2011-12. Hooper is also on pace to become just the third player in Husker history to produce 2,000 points and 1,000 career rebounds, joining 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings and 2010 All-American and National Player-ofthe-Year finalist Kelsey Griffin. After earning Big 12 All-Freshman honors in 2010-11, Hooper expanded her game at both ends of the court as a sophomore. She increased her season scoring average by 4.3 points per game, while pulling down 2.7 more rebounds per contest. She added seven more blocks, five more steals and five more assists compared to her freshman season. Her shooting percentage went up 35 points, while her free throw percentage climbed 48 points. As her sophomore season progressed, Hooper continued to expand her scoring arsenal by attacking the basket more off the dribble while also crashing the glass as the Big Ten's best on the boards. Her added strength and physicality was rewarded at the free throw line, as Hooper attempted nearly 100 more free throws as a sophomore (183) compared to her freshman season (86). Her 143 made free throws and 183 attempts both ranked among the top 10 in Husker history. Hooper helped ignite Nebraska's run to the Big Ten Tournament title game by averaging 19.8 points and 9.0

rebounds per game, including three straight doubledoubles to close the tournament. She poured in 25 points and grabbed 10 boards in the championship game against No. 21 Purdue to secure her spot on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team. Hooper produced double figures in 32 of 33 games as a sophomore, including 15 games with 20 or more points. She added 14 games with 10 or more rebounds to notch 14 double-doubles on the season. She ranks eighth in Husker history with 17 career double-doubles and could challenge Nebraska's top career double-double totals held by Griffin (40) and Jennings (36) by the end of the season. Hooper needs just seven double-doubles in 2012-13 to climb to third on NU's career list. Hooper is also an excellent performer in the classroom, where she earned academic All-Big Ten honors in 2012. She is expected to contend for CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica honors in 2013. "Jordan is one of the best players the state of Nebraska has ever produced," Coach Connie Yori said. "She is extremely athletic and versatile. She is more than just a good athlete, she has great basketball skill. She also has an excellent work ethic, and is a strong student."

Williams 6-1 l Senior l Forward Rancho Cucamonga, California (Summit)
Outlook (2012-13)
Senior Meghin Williams will be a leader on and off the court among a deep and versatile group of Husker forwards in 2012-13. The 6-1 native of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., is coming off a solid junior campaign when she appeared in every game off the bench while helping the Huskers to a 24-9 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Williams averaged 2.2 points and 3.0 rebounds per game behind young starters Jordan Hooper, Emily Cady and Hailie Sample for the Huskers. Williams hopes to end her career with her healthiest season, while making her largest contributions. She has been hampered by a foot injury in her first three seasons at Nebraska, which has limited both playing and practice time. "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 three 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."

Maurer 6-3 l Junior l Center Shawnee Mission, Kansas (Bishop Miege)
Outlook (2012-13)
Adrianna Maurer is hoping for a healthy junior campaign after a back injury abruptly ended her sophomore season in 2011-12. Maurer, a 6-3 center from Shawnee Mission, Kan., played 24 games for the Huskers as a true freshman in 2010-11, before seeing significant playing time through Nebraska's first 10 games of 2011-12. The lone center on NU's roster both last season and this season, Maurer played 13 minutes per game while averaging 4.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest. However, back pain forced her to shut down her sophomore season following Nebraska's win at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10. She eventually underwent back surgery on Jan. 19, 2012. Maurer's recovery and rehabilitation has gone well and she has regained her strength. Her return is expected to bolster a deep, versatile and experienced Husker front line in 2012-13. "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's the biggest player on our roster, and we're hoping that she can give us a different look inside when she's on the court. Adri is also a really good student and a good person."

The 6-2 forward from Nebraska high school power Seward expects to benefit from playing a full season in the Huskers' system while adding strength to her long, wiry frame. Cady, fellow Nebraskan Jordan Hooper and fellow sophomore Hailie Sample give the Huskers one of the most versatile and experienced front lines in the Big Ten after all three started 33 games a year ago. "Emily Cady is a winner. She is an extremely athletic and versatile player," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said.

Outlook (2012-13)
Brandi Jeffery contributed as one of Nebraska's top players off the bench as a freshman, and is expected to make even greater contributions as a sophomore in 2012-13. The 5-7 shooting guard from Vacherie, La., averaged 3.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assist in 15 minutes per game as a true freshman for the Huskers. Her solid perimeter defense, and her explosiveness in transition helped the Huskers to one of their best seasons in school history. The 2011 Gatorade Louisiana Player of the Year and Parade All-American plays bigger and stronger than she looks. With a year of gaining experience in Nebraska's system, Jeffery could be poised for an expanded role to help fill the void left by departed senior guard Kaitlyn Burke. While Jeffery has excellent instincts and strong knowledge of the game on the offensive end, she focused on solidifying her spot as a tremendous oneon-one and team defender in 2011-12.

Outlook (2012-13)
Tear'a Laudermill (pronounced TEAR-uh) made immediate contributions off the bench for the Huskers as a freshman, while helping Nebraska to one of the best seasons in school history. The 5-9 guard averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, while appearing in 28 contests in 2011-12. She was a regular in the Huskers' rotation in Big Ten play, competing in 15 games. She also gave Nebraska a longrange threat by hitting 17 three-pointers on the season. Laudermill also supplied the Huskers with aggressive defense, often applying full-court pressure as one of Nebraska's hounds. As a sophomore, Laudermill hopes to improve her shooting consistency after spending a season learning Nebraska's offensive system. "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. 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."

Hailie
Sample 6-1 l Sophomore l Forward Flower Mound, Texas (Marcus)
Outlook (2012-13)
A talented wing player from Texas, Hailie Sample joined fellow forward Emily Cady in becoming the first Husker freshman teammates in history to each start every game during a season in 2011-12. The rookie forwards became just two of nine freshmen in history to start every game during their first season in a Husker uniform. A gritty, lockdown defender, the 6-1 Sample added 3.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game as a freshman and will be looking to step up her offensive production as a sophomore. Sample played a major role in Nebraska's run to the Big Ten Tournament title game in 2012 by averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in four tournament games. While she surged down the stretch, she suffered a stress reaction in her leg late in the season that limited her contributions in the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers hope the time to rest in the offseason and a year in the Nebraska system will allow Sample to play an even greater role in the NU fortunes as a sophomore in 2012-13.

Husker History With the Big Ten Conference Although Nebraska competed for the first time as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, the Huskers have a relatively substantial history playing against Big Ten opponents. Nebraska's first-ever meeting with a Big Ten school came with a thrilling 68-67 overtime victory over Minnesota on Dec. 30, 1977. Two weeks later, the Huskers improved to 2-0 against the Big Ten with a 71-63 victory over Iowa at the Jennies Classic in Warrensburg, Mo., on Jan. 13, 1978. The following season, Nebraska improved to 3-0 against the Big Ten with a narrow 59-57 victory over Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Nov. 28, 1978. 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 37-34 all-time record against Big Ten opposition after their first full season of Big Ten Conference competition. Under Coach Connie Yori, the Huskers have posted an 18-15 record against the Big Ten, including a 13-7 record against conference foes last season (10-6 regular season). Yori and the Huskers have notched at least one victory against every Big Ten team, with the only exception being Michigan State (0-1). The Spartans will make their first-ever trip to the Devaney Center on Jan. 24, 2013. Purdue will also make its first and only trip to the Devaney Center this season, journeying to Nebraska on Jan. 5, 2013. 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.

Young Huskers Make History in First Big Ten Season
Lindsey Moore (left), Emily Cady (center) and Jordan Hooper (right) captured All-Big Ten honors in 2011-12, as the Big Red's "Big Three" made up the nucleus of a consistent starting five for all of Nebraska's 33 games in a 24-9 season.
Nebraska spent the 2011-12 season proving itself to the women's basketball world. The Huskers, who produced the second-most victories in school history with a 24-9 overall record that included a 10-6 mark in their first Big Ten campaign, advanced to their fourth NCAA Tournament in the past six years. NU also finished No. 17 in the final Associated Press Poll, marking the school's second top-25 final national ranking in the last three seasons. Junior point guard Lindsey Moore and sophomore forward Jordan Hooper burst onto the national landscape as national player-of-the-year and All-America candidates, while Emily Cady proved herself as one of the Big Ten's best freshmen in 2011-12. Hooper, who led NU with 18.9 points and a Big Tenleading 9.3 rebounds per game, finished as an honorablemention All-American by the Associated Press while earning first-team WBCA All-Region 6 honors. She also became Nebraska's first first-team All-Big Ten selection. Along the way, Hooper earned spots on both the Wade and Naismith National Player-of-the-Year watch lists. Moore, who added 15.7 points, 5.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game, joined Hooper on the Naismith list and was one of eight finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award presented to the nation's top point guard. Moore added second-team All-Big Ten honors. Cady, who averaged 9.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, ranked among the top six freshmen in the Big Ten in every major statistical category on her way to earning a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. She added honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades from the media. Senior guard Kaitlyn Burke, a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and Nebraska's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee President, proved herself as one of the nation's top student-athlete leaders by helping the Huskers advance to their first Big Ten title game. Nebraska's success came without any preseason hype. The Huskers weren't big enough to win against the traditional powerhouse teams in the Big Ten. They weren't experienced enough to find success against the best teams in the conference. They weren't healthy enough, strong enough or tough enough to take the physical pounding of a Big Ten campaign that would feature a
new conference opponent every night of the season. Nebraska just wasn't good enough -- at least that seemed to be the preseason opinion of the college basketball community before NU's first Big Ten campaign. "The Big Ten doesn't really do a true preseason poll, but I would guess that the coaches would have picked us 10th or 11th if there was one," Yori said. "We knew we had some great senior leaders, but we weren't sure they could play. We knew we had some really talented players in Jordan and Lindsey who worked really hard in the offseason. We knew we had some talented young freshmen, but we didn't know how it would all fit together. We just had a lot of unknowns." Nebraska was coming off an injury-ravaged season when the Huskers finished last in the Big 12. NU's roster featured only 12 total players and just two seniors. Burke was challenged by injuries throughout her career and would manage multiple injuries again in 2011-12. In fact, during the Huskers' 2011 summer tour of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, Burke played sparingly. NU's other senior, Harleen Sidhu, underwent offseason knee surgery and did not play at all in Europe. One of the Huskers' two juniors, Meghin Williams, had battled a foot injury her first two years and was limited in offseason training. While the Huskers had an experienced floor general in Moore and a rising star in Hooper, they lacked a proven scorer in the post. The tallest player and the only center on the roster was 6-3 sophomore Adrianna Maurer, who played just 190 minutes in 2010-11. Two redshirts and four true freshmen filled out the 2011-12 roster. In addition to the injuries and youth among the players, Husker Coach Connie Yori was sidelined for six weeks after NU's return from Scandinavia in August. Complications to a relatively routine knee surgery left Yori in the hospital for nearly all of September. When she returned for the start of practice in early October, Yori was limited in both her time and physical ability on the court. The Huskers had used 10 days of summer practice and the 11-day trip to Europe to bond in a big way, developing outstanding team chemistry while Burke, Sidhu and Moore established themselves as leaders. Hooper also showed an expanded game at both ends of the court, transforming
herself from a Big 12 All-Freshman selection into an AllAmerica contender. After the team returned for the fall semester, Nebraska's youngsters grew closer together while Yori tried to overcome her own injury. "We were really fortunate to have that time in Europe to come together as a team," Yori said. "With my health situation and limitations in the fall, we would have been way behind entering a typical season. Instead, we were probably several months ahead. We got lucky, but we also made our own luck." As Yori battled her way back to the floor, her players formed a similar fighting mentality. The Huskers faced every challenge as a group, learning as a team and growing together. By the time the season started in early November, the Huskers were ready to show how far they had come in a short time. After opening the regular season with wins over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State, the Huskers faced their first true test against No. 23 USC. Hooper made a statement on the national stage with 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Moore added 22 points of her own to go along with six assists. True freshmen starters Emily Cady and Hailie Sample both added 10 boards, as Nebraska grabbed 66 rebounds against the Trojans. The 66 boards marked the highest total ever by a Husker team against a Division I opponent, as NU owned a plus-26 rebound margin on the night. "Coming into the season, we thought rebounding might be our greatest weakness, and at times it was during the year," Yori said. "But our players made a commitment to working hard and getting better every day and for the most part, we turned that weakness into one of the strengths of our team. That is no small accomplishment." The Huskers carried the momentum of four home wins with them to Florida, where they defeated a Florida A&M team that went on to win 22 games. Following the win over FAMU, the Huskers knocked off USA Today No. 25 and perennial ACC power Florida State, 66-63, on the Seminoles' home court to improve to 6-0. Moore had 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals, while Hooper managed 12 points and eight boards against FSU All-American Cierra Bravard. Cady stepped up with 14 points and five rebounds, while freshman guard Brandi Jeffery pumped in 12 points and grabbed three steals. Both freshmen joined Moore in making huge plays down the stretch in the win. The Huskers suffered their first loss of the season three nights later as they continued their road trip at Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Yellow Jackets went on to the NCAA Sweet 16. Nebraska responded from its first loss by reeling off five straight wins to close non-conference play, including wins over a pair of conference champions and 2012 NCAA Tournament qualifiers Creighton and South Dakota State. Against SDSU, Hooper poured in 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, while Moore added 27 points and six assists. The stretch also featured a 97-88 double-overtime win at Northern Arizona. Hooper had 32 points and Moore 31 against the Lumberjacks to become the first teammates in Husker history to score 30 points in the same game. Unfortunately, the win over NAU would be the last appearance by Nebraska's lone center, Adrianna Maurer, who succumbed to a back injury that eventually required season-ending surgery. At 11-1 overall and No. 23 in the AP Top 25, the Huskers headed to University Park, Pa., to face No. 16 Penn State in NU's first-ever Big Ten Conference game. Hooper powered the Huskers again, scoring 30 points for the third time in a four-game stretch, finishing with 31 points and 12 boards in NU's 71-63 win over the eventual NCAA Sweet 16 participants.

Nebraska Claims 24 Wins, Races to NCAA Tournament In just over a three-week span in December, the Huskers had gone from unknown and unproven to unshakable and unrelenting. The Big Ten's comeback kids had battled back from double-digit deficits on the road to beat both Florida State and Penn State, then did it again to defeat Indiana in Lincoln in the Huskers' home Big Ten debut Jan. 5. However, Nebraska's roster took another hit following the win over the Hoosiers, as Sidhu's knee injury knocked her out for the rest of her senior season. With just 10 players left on the active roster, NU came from behind again to defeat eventual NCAA Tournament qualifier Iowa on Jan. 8. The Huskers then posted their fourth double-digit comeback of the year at Wisconsin on Jan. 12 to improve to 15-1 overall and 4-0 in the Big Ten. Moore, who had team highs of 22 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds and three steals in the win at Iowa, carried the Huskers again at Wisconsin with 28 points and five assists. Redshirt freshman Rebecca Woodberry also played big for the Huskers, erupting for a career-high 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting with four threes. The Huskers ascended to No. 15 in the national rankings and returned home to face Penn State again. The eventual Big Ten regular-season champion Lady Lions played a nearly flawless second half in a 93-73 win. The Huskers followed with an 82-68 loss at eventual Big Ten runner-up Ohio State. Cady provided a bright spot against No. 10 OSU, pumping in a career-high 24 points while grabbing seven rebounds. Nebraska showed its resiliency by returning home to roll to a 64-49 win over Minnesota on Jan. 22 and get back on the winning track. Hooper then poured in 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to power the Huskers to a regular-season series sweep of Iowa on Jan. 26. NU won its third straight with a 67-47 win at Illinois, as Moore dropped in 20 points, and Hooper added 12 points and 16 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the year. Cady contributed 17 points and five boards. At 18-3 overall and 7-2 in the Big Ten, the Huskers journeyed to West Lafayette, Ind., to challenge Purdue for the conference lead on Feb. 2. Arguably the Big Ten's most tradition-rich women's basketball program, Purdue had never faced Nebraska. The first meeting was historic. In an epic back-and-forth battle, No. 16 Nebraska produced the first triple-overtime road win in school history with a 93-89 victory over the No. 15 Boilermakers. In a game that featured big shot after big shot, Cady sank a free throw with four seconds left to send the game to the overtime. Then with the Huskers trailing by three at the end of the second overtime, Cady launched a miraculous 28-foot three-pointer at the buzzer that found nothing but net to send it to a third OT. Moore did the rest, burying two long threes including a 28-footer from the left wing to make her the 27th Husker in history to reach 1,000 career points. Moore finished the night with 26 points and seven rebounds. Hooper led the Huskers with 27 points and seven boards of her own, while Cady earned a spot in Nebraska lore with 11 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and one unforgettable shot. After a bye week, the Huskers climbed to No. 13 in the AP Poll - their highest ranking of the year. Unfortunately, Nebraska went cold for a three-game stretch starting with a home loss to Michigan Feb. 9. A loss at Minnesota and another home loss to Northwestern Feb. 16 gave the Huskers their only three-game losing streak of the season. The loss to Northwestern included a bone bruise below Moore's left knee that left her status in question for a home game against Wisconsin Feb. 19. Moore showed her toughness by helping Nebraska notch its 20th win of the season in a 68-59 victory over the Badgers. Hooper came through with 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds. Cady added 13 points and four rebounds in little more than a half before suffering a knee injury of her own midway through the second half.
With the injuries mounting, the Huskers tried to dig deep in their first-ever road trip to Michigan State on Feb. 23. The Spartans sizzled on Senior Night in East Lansing, hitting 11-of-14 shots from the field, including 6-of-8 three-pointers to open the game, and race to a 28-8 lead on their way to 93-73 win over the Huskers. Nebraska injuries had them on the ropes, but the No. 23 Huskers answered the bell. NU rolled to a 71-57 win over No. 8 Ohio State on Senior Day at the Devaney Center to close the regular season 21-7 overall and 10-6 in the Big Ten. OSU held Hooper and Moore to single digits, but the Husker freshmen carried the day. Despite playing with torn cartilage in her knee, Cady matched her career high with 24 points, as NU's six freshmen combined for 49 points and 18 rebounds. Jeffery and Woodberry each produced eight points and six rebounds apiece. The Huskers headed to their first Big Ten Tournament as the No. 6 seed ready for a rematch with 11th-seeded Northwestern. Nebraska was hoping to solidify its place in the NCAA Tournament field while avenging a loss to the Wildcats just two weeks earlier. Nebraska accomplished that and much more. When the first-half dust cleared, the Huskers held a 54-25 lead. Hooper finished with a game-high 18 points in just 16 minutes, while becoming the first sophomore in Nebraska history to reach the 1,000-point mark for her career. Moore added 14 points in a season-low 20 minutes. The Huskers hit 50.9 percent from the field, including 47.4 percent from three-point range. It marked only the third time all season that NU hit 50 percent or better from the floor. The Husker freshmen supplied huge contributions again, producing 49 points and 25 rebounds. Woodberry had 12 points and six boards, while Katie Simon contributed 10 points and five rebounds. Sample matched her career high with 10 points, while Tear'a Laudermill pitched in nine points and three pointers. The Huskers advanced to the quarterfinals for a third meeting against third-seeded Iowa. The Hawkeyes entered

as the Big Ten's hottest team, reeling off eight straight wins since a Jan. 26 loss at Nebraska. Although Iowa was hungry for revenge, the Huskers were hungrier. Trailing 48-40 early in the second half, Moore and Hooper fueled a 40-16 surge and Nebraska rolled to an 80-68 win. Moore erupted for 26 points, including four three-pointers, while adding six assists and five steals. Hooper managed a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds in just 21 minutes, while Cady added a double-double of her own with 13 points and 11 boards. Sample again shined, matching her career high for the second straight day with 10 points while adding the first three-pointer of her career. The Huskers moved to the semifinals for their second meeting in seven days with Ohio State. OSU jumped to a 24-11 lead, but Nebraska answered with a 40-10 surge in a 12-minute span to cruise to a 77-62 win over the No. 14 Buckeyes. Hooper led NU with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Burke matched her career high with 20 points to shoot the Huskers into their first Big Ten title game and snap OSU's 10-game tournament winning streak. In the championship game, Nebraska faced No. 21 Purdue in a rematch of one of college basketball's best games of 2011-12. Little more than a month after going three overtimes in West Lafayette, the Huskers and Boilermakers went double overtime in Indianapolis. Nebraska's bid to become the first team in Big Ten history to win four games in four days to claim the title came up just short, falling 74-70 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Moore finished with 27 points and five assists, while Hooper added her third straight double-double with 25 points and 10 boards. Moore and Hooper claimed spots on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team for their efforts. Nebraska returned home for a well-deserved week of rest. However, on the Monday the NCAA Tournament field was announced, Hooper and Sample were diagnosed with stress reactions in their lower legs. The injuries kept the two previously healthy Husker starters in walking boots and off the practice court leading up to NU's first-round NCAA Tournament game against Kansas. The Huskers claimed the No. 6 seed in the Des Moines Regional and faced the 11th-seeded Jayhawks at the Jack Stephens Center on the UALR campus in Little Rock, Ark. Nebraska's final two injuries proved too much to overcome. Hooper was visibily slowed by the injury and went 4-for-18 from the field, including 0-for-8 from threepoint range. She still battled to play 32 minutes. Sample went scoreless in just 13 minutes of court time. Burke, Moore and Cady kept the Huskers close against a KU squad that went on to knock off No. 3 seed Delaware and advance to the NCAA Sweet 16. Burke hit 7-of-9 shots from the field to finish with 14 points and four assists in the final game of her NU career. Moore added 12 points and six rebounds, while Cady produced her third doubledouble of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Nebraska, which led the Big Ten with 7.0 made threes per game and set school records in threes made (230) and attempted (759) on the season, went just 1-for-19 from long range against KU. It marked the first time all year the Huskers failed to hit at least four threes in a game. "We kind of lived by the three and died by the three during the year. We were pretty beat up and out of rhythm because we had starters not practicing, but the bottom line was we didn't hit enough shots," Yori said. "I don't care what level you're playing at, if you go 1-for-19 from the three-point line, you're probably not going to win." Despite the untimely injuries and unfortunate ending, Yori and the rest of the Huskers understood the significance of their season-long success. "I don't think anybody would've thought we'd win 24 games. For basically the entire Big Ten season, we only had 10 kids suit up, and six of them were freshmen. We had a great season, and we have a really bright future."

Game Highlights: Jordan Hooper scored all of her game-high 16 points in the first half to lead Nebraska to a 65-27 win over Texas-Pan American at the Devaney Center. Hooper scored seven straight points in a one-minute span late in the first half to give the Huskers a 37-14 halftime lead. Lindsey Moore, who added 12 points and five rebounds, scored five straight points early in the second half to push NU’s lead to 30 points at 44-14. Brandi Jeffery gave the Huskers three players in double figures with 10 points, including a three-pointer to extend Nebraska’s lead to 40 points at 60-20 late in the game. It was Jeffery’s third double-figure scoring performance of the season. She also contributed four rebounds and a team-high three steals in 27 minutes. Jeffery led a Husker bench that outscored UTPA’s reserves 35-6. Fellow freshman Katie Simon added nine points, three rebounds and two blocks, while Rebecca Woodberry pitched in seven points, six rebounds and two steals. UTPA’s 27 points marked the fewest points scored by a Nebraska opponent since 1975, and tied for the third-lowest total in NU history. The Huskers held the Broncs without a three-pointer and surrendered just one assist.
Game Highlights: Jordan Hooper scored 17 of her game-high 22 points in the second half, including the Huskers’ final eight points of the game in a 66-55 win over in-state rival Creighton at the Devaney Center. Fellow forward Emily Cady added one of the best games of her young career with 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 35 minutes. Cady hit 4-of-7 shots from the field and all five of her free throw attempts to help the Huskers improve to 8-1 on the season and 6-0 at home. Lindsey Moore pitched in 12 points, four assists and four steals, including seven straight points to join Hooper in scoring NU’s final 15 points over the last 5:30. Kaitlyn Burke gave the Huskers four players in double figures with 10 points to go along with five rebounds. With the game tied at 30, Burke and Cady teamed for six straight points to push NU’s lead to 36-30. Creighton trimmed NU’s edge to 41-39 on a Sarah Nelson jumper with 12:33 left and had the ball, but back-to-back steals and layups by Burke and Hooper pushed NU’s lead back to 45-39. CU would get no closer than five the rest of the way. Carli Tritz was the only Jay in double figures with 17 points.

Penn State scored 55 second-half points by shooting 60.6 percent (20-33), including 2-of-3 from three-point range, PSU also hit 13-of-15 free throws after halftime, and committed just five second-half turnovers.

Maggie Lucas led five Lady Lions in double figures with 24 points, while Alex Bentley added 23. Zhaque Gray (16), Nikki Greene (12) and Mia Nixson (12) added double figures.

Kaitlyn Burke pitched in eight points, while Tear’a Laudermill added seven off the bench.
Game Highlights: Emily Cady scored a career-high 24 points while Jordan Hooper contributed 19 points and 14 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season, but No. 20 Nebraska fell to No. 10 Ohio State at Value City Arena. Cady, who played just 26 minutes after being whistled for two fouls in the first four minutes, hit 9-of-14 shots including 2-of-4 three-pointers.

Lindsey Moore, who fouled out of the first game of her career, added 13 points and six assists, while Brandi Jeffery pitched in eight points off the bench including a pair of threes.

Game Highlights: Jordan Hooper produced her ninth doubledouble of the season with a game-high 22 points and 15 rebounds to lead No. 19 Nebraska to a 60-53 win over Iowa at the Devaney Center. Hooper nearly produced a double-double in the first half with 12 points and nine boards to power the Huskers to a 30-17 halftime lead. Lindsey Moore added 15 points, five rebounds and a game-high four steals, including four points in the final four seconds of the first half, thanks to a steal and assist from Brandi Jeffery. While Hooper and Moore fueled the offense, NU’s team defense was tremendous. The Huskers held the Hawkeyes to just 30.8 percent shooting from the field and forced 20 Iowa turnovers. The Hawkeyes hit just 1-of-11 three-point attempts in the first half and went the final 12 minutes of the half without a field goal. NU closed the first half on 20-3 surge after Iowa took a 14-10 lead. Iowa heated up to hit 7-of-17 threes in the second half to pull within one point three times. But Moore made key plays down the stretch and Kaitlyn Burke buried a huge three with 1:37 left as the shot clock expired to give the Huskers a 57-51 lead. Nebraska won despite shooting just 32.1 percent from the field, including just 20 percent from three-point range.
Game Highlights: Lindsey Moore scored a game-high 20 points and Jordan Hooper notched her 10th double-double of the season with 12 points and 16 rebounds as No. 19 Nebraska rolled to a 67-47 road win at Illinois. The Huskers used a stifling defense that converted 15 first-half turnovers by Illinois into 16 points to build a 40-22 halftime lead. Nebraska also dominated the offensive glass, turning 12 offensive rebounds into 20 second-chance points at intermission. Nebraska notched a 20-point road win despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and only 20 percent from three-point range. In addition to the double-figure scoring efforts from Moore and Hooper, Emily Cady added a strong day with 17 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 effort at the free throw line. Tear’a Laudermill came off the bench to hit a pair of big three-pointers for the Huskers. Meghin Williams also gave Nebraska a spark off the bench with six points, four rebounds and two assists. Ivory Crawford led three Illini in double figures with 12 points and 10 rebounds but went just 3-of-17 from the field. Kersten Magrum and Lydia McCully added 10 points apiece for Illinois, which hit just 29.3 percent from the field, including 1-of-9 from three-point range.

Game Highlights: No. 16 Nebraska won the first road tripleovertime game in school history with an epic 93-89 victory over No. 15 Purdue in the Huskers’ first-ever meeting with the Boilermakers. Playing for a share of the Big Ten lead at Mackey Arena, the Huskers watched freshman Emily Cady extend the game on two occasions. Cady hit a free throw with four seconds left to tie the game at 59 at the end of regulation. After NU survived a first overtime, Cady connected on a miraculous off-balance three-pointer with a hand in her face from 28 feet just to the right of the top of the key as time expired in the second overtime. In the third overtime, Lindsey Moore made sure the Huskers went home winners by draining a pair of long threes. The second sent Moore over the 1,000-point mark for her career, while giving NU a two-possession lead. She added a pair of free throws in the third overtime to finish with eight of her 26 points in the period. Jordan Hooper led five Huskers in double figures with a game-high 27 points in a game-high 51 minutes. Hooper hit five of Nebraska’s 13 threes on the night the most ever against a Purdue team. Cady contributed the first double-double of her career with 11 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high seven assists. Kaityln Burke added 14 points and tied a career best with seven rebounds, while Tear’a Laudermill added 10 points off the bench in the second half.
Game Highlights: No. 13 Nebraska struggled through its worst offensive half of the season in a 63-52 loss to Michigan at the Devaney Center. The Huskers managed only 12 first-half points after hitting just 4-of-30 shots from the field, including 1-of-15 three-pointers. The Huskers hit just 3-of-7 free throws in the opening half. After jumping out to a 7-4 lead on a putback by Hailie Sample with 16:49 left, Nebraska went more than 14 minutes without a field goal. The Huskers missed 17 straight shots during the drought, as the Wolverines outscored NU 28-5 the rest of the half to take a 32-12 halftime lead. Michigan pushed its lead to 27 points at 41-14 with 17:32 left, as NU opened the second half just 1-for-8 from the field. But Nebraska refused to quit, eventually slashing Michigan’s lead to just eight points at 58-50 with two minutes left. Lindsey Moore led Nebraska’s rally by finishing with 23 points on 8-of18 shooting from the field. Moore tied her career high with five three-pointers, while adding four assists and four rebounds. Jordan Hooper added 14 points and eight rebounds, but hit just 4-of-19 shots from the floor, including just 1-of-8 threepointers. Emily Cady managed seven points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. Carmen Reynolds led four Wolverines in double figures with 16 points, while Nya Jordan added a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Game Highlights: No. 16 Nebraska erased a 40-24 deficit with 17 minutes left to tie the game at 58 with 3:17 left, but Minnesota made the plays in the closing minutes to defeat the Huskers, 64-58. Nebraska led 24-20 with two minutes left in the first half, before Minnesota closed on a 7-0 run to take a 2724 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Golden Gophers kept the momentum by opening the second half on a 13-0 run to take a 16-point lead with 16:59 left. But Nebraska answered Minnesota’s 20-0 run with a 17-4 surge of its own to climb back into contention. Trailing 58-51, the Huskers responded with a 7-0 run capped by Kaitlyn Burke’s game-tying layup with 3:17 left. Nebraska then had four shots to take the lead, but the Huskers were unable to convert. Minnesota capitalized on a pair of second chances on the offensive end late in the game to claim the win. Jordan Hooper led Nebraska’s comeback by scoring 16 of her 20 points in the second half. Hooper hit all four of her three-pointers after halftime. She also matched her career high with four steals. Lindsey Moore added 12 points, four rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals. Hailie Sample pitched in eight points, while Burke and Brandi Jeffery each contributed six points. Jeffery added three rebounds, three assists and three steals. Rachel Banham led Minnesota with 21 points, while Kiara Buford pitched in 16.

MSU hit 11-of-14 shots from the field, including 6-of-8 three-pointers to open the game, and raced to a 28-8 lead. The Spartans built the lead to 23 late in the first half before taking a 43-22 edge into halftime. Despite shooting just 31.5 percent for the game, Nebraska mounted a major second-half rally. The Huskers cut a 50-27 deficit with 16:30 left to 52-42 with 11:46 to play following a pair of Kaitlyn Burke free throws after MSU Coach Suzy Merchant was whistled for a technical foul. On the ensuing play, Nebraska isolated Jordan Hooper, who got free near the rim but missed a layup that would have cut the Spartan lead to eight. MSU responded with six straight points, and the Huskers did not recover. Hooper finished with a team-high 15 points, while Burke added 13 points. Rebecca Woodberry pitched in seven points off the bench for NU. Klarissa Bell poured in a career-high 19 points, while Taylor Alton added 18 for MSU.

She was not cleared to return to practice until Nov. 8. She made her first appearance of the season against Vermont on Dec. 18.

Despite her physical setbacks on the court, Sidhu continued to be an outstanding leader and teammate for the Huskers. She played a major role in mentoring a group of Huskers that featured six freshmen and two sophomores.

Huskers to Play Final Season in Devaney Center in 2012-13
The 13,595-seat Bob Devaney Sports Center will be home to Husker women's basketball for its 37th and final season in 2012-13. 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 serves as the home of Husker women's basketball on campus. In 2013-14, the Huskers are scheduled to begin play in the new Pinnacle Bank 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 19th in 2011-12.

Huskers Annually Rewriting History Under Yori 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. After injuries and graduation left the Huskers shorthanded in 2010-11, a young Nebraska squad began a new building process in 2011-12. In the Huskers' first-ever Big Ten Conference season, a roster that featured six freshmen among just 10 active players rolled to the second-highest victory total in school history with a 24-9 record. After posting a 10-6 Big Ten regular-season mark, the Huskers stormed to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game before falling in two overtimes to Purdue. The young Huskers advanced to the school's 10th NCAA Tournament after posting nine wins over 2012 NCAA Tournament teams. Not only did the Huskers have to overcome their own inexperience, all five starters overcame injuries to start every game during the season. Jordan Hooper became the first sophomore in school history to reach 1,000 career points, while becoming the first NU sophomore to produce 600 points and 300 rebounds in a season. Nebraska's first-ever first-team All-Big Ten selection, Hooper also claimed honorablemention All-America honors from the Associated Press. A candidate for the Wade and Naismith National Player-of-the-Year awards, Hooper was joined on the Naismith watch list by teammate Lindsey Moore. The 5-9 junior was also one of eight finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award as the nation's top point guard. A second-team All-Big Ten pick, Moore joined Hooper on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and in Nebraska's 1,000-point club. Emily Cady, one of Nebraska's six 2012 freshmen, earned a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman after producing one of the best rookie seasons in school history. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., joined Hailie Sample in becoming the first freshmen in school history to start every game together during their rookie seasons. Nebraska's lone active senior, Kaitlyn Burke, laid the foundation for the success of the young Huskers as one of NU's top leaders. The President of Nebraska's StudentAthlete Advisory Committee was one of 30 candidates nationally for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
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.
While the leadership of Burke and fellow senior Harleen Sidhu will be missed, Nebraska's 10 returning players give the Huskers plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future. The 2012-13 Huskers will continue to build on a tradition of winning that dates back to the earliest days of the University. In March of 1898, a university women's team played a game against an outside opponent for the first time. The opposition was provided by a team from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The contest was played at the Nebraska armory, Grant Memorial Hall. Among the matters to be resolved before the game was whether men's rules or those of Smith College should apply. In 1894, only three years after Dr. James Naismith established the rules for basketball, Senda Berenson, director of physical education at Smith College in Massachusetts, modified Naismith's game for women. In contrast to the Nebraska team, the captain of which was graduate student Louise Pound, the team from Council Bluffs had been playing by the more physical men's rules. A compromise was reached. The first half would by played by men's rules, the second by Smith College rules. The teams played six on a side: two centers, two guards and two forwards. Pound played center. Another issue was whether men should be allowed to attend. Administrators decided that any "gentleman'' accompanied by a "lady'' would be admitted, but single men might be prohibited lest the game attract the wrong kind of audience. The unflattering bloomers women wore in gym classes were regarded as inappropriate dress for mixed company,
regardless of the circumstances. As a result, intramural track and field competition involving women was held indoors until 1904. Early basketball games involving the university women were well-attended, and there was "always a goodly surplus in the treasury,'' according to the Nebraska State Journal. The gymnasium was filled well in advance of the game's start. The Council Bluffs team, made up of girls who were "slighter of build and younger,'' proved to be no match for Pound and her university teammates. Pound, who also was the first all-university tennis champion, accounted for three field goals and five free throws in a 15-7 win. The play of Nebraska's Harriet Cooke and Marie Beach drew mention in newspaper accounts. Cooke, like Pound, played center and accounted for Nebraska's other points. Beach was a guard, along with Marie Kennedy. The Council Bluffs forwards were much shorter and had difficulty passing the ball over Beach and Kennedy to their centers, who were responsible for scoring goals. Bertha du Teil and Helen Welch were Nebraska's forwards. Rose Long was a substitute. Basketball was introduced in the university's physical education classes for sophomore women in 1896. As was the case with male students, class teams competed against each other. The first all-university women's team was organized in 1896, according to the Nebraska State Journal. It included the best players regardless of their class, among them Welch, the only player from that first team who participated in the contest against the Council Bluffs team in March of 1898. Welch and her

five teammates were "trained'' by Anne Louise Barr and played other inter-class teams. The first women's game played before an audience was part of NU's sixth annual gymnasium exhibition in the spring of 1897, according to Phyllis Kay Wilke's "Physical Education for Women at Nebraska University, 1879-1923,'' published in the spring 1975 issue of Nebraska History. Pound was the driving force in women's basketball at the university, organizing as well as playing on the earliest teams. She was a member of the team in the 1898-99 school year. It didn't play any opponents from outside of the university and very few intramural opponents, for that matter, because a large pipe organ donated by an alumni group was stored in the gym. In April of 1901, the university sponsored a women's state tournament under Pound's direction at Grant Hall. Nebraska was represented by a first and second team in a field that included teams from the Omaha YWCA, Lincoln High and Wahoo High. The university's first team, led by captain Eleanore Miller, won the two-day competition. In November of 1901, Nebraska played a team from the University of Missouri at Grant Hall, "the first intercollegiate match for girls ever played in the west,'' according to the Nebraska State Journal. Missouri was no match for its experienced opponent. Miller, who was still on the varsity team, had been succeeded as captain by Hannah Pillsbury. Nebraska won 31-4. The varsity team had yet to lose in its brief history. Nebraska's varsity team didn't play against outside competition again until 1903, when it defeated the Omaha YWCA in Omaha 18-9 and a team from the Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kan., 42-8. The University second team also played that day, defeating Baker University, 22-1. Efforts were being made to encourage intercollegiate competition for women, according to the Nebraska student
yearbook for 1902, The Sombrero. The next university yearbook, published two years later, noted that women's basketball was experiencing dramatic growth. In 1904, Nebraska suffered its first defeat, losing to the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis after opening an abbreviated schedule by shutting out the Lincoln YWCA 16-0. 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
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.

scholarships. The total budget for women's athletics was less than $40,000. George Nicodemus, an Iowa native who had directed John F. Kennedy College in Wahoo, Neb., to a pair of AAU women's national titles, succeeded Callahan as volunteer coach of NU's fledgling program in 1975. With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot11, Nicodemus produced a 22-9 record in his first season. The Huskers finished third in the Big Eight Tournament in Manhattan, Kan., in February of 1976. They won the state collegiate tournament held at Midland College in Fremont, Neb.; lost in the second round of an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) regional tournament in Fargo, N.D.; and finished by winning two consolation games at the National Women's Invitational Tournament at Amarillo, Texas. "We are only a couple of tall girls away from winning a national championship,'' Nicodemus said after his first year. Nicodemus, whose duties also included the softball program, became a paid coach his second season at Nebraska, receiving an annual salary of $12,000. The Huskers finished 20-14 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 loss at NebraskaOmaha in the first round of the state tournament. 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. Jordan Hooper added a 12th native Nebraskan to the Huskers' list of career 1,000-point scorers in 2012. Hooper, a tall and athletic forward with the speed and power to drive to the basket and the long-range shooting ability to potentially shatter all of Nebraska's three-point records, reached 1,000 points in just 60 career games. Emily Cady, another budding star from the Cornhusker, State, is also on her way toward Nebraska's 1,000-point club after a successful freshman season. Although Cady's got a lot of work left to reach 1,000 points, she, Hooper and the rest of the Huskers will have some of the nation's finest new facilities to expand their games. The Huskers began practicing in the new Hendricks Training Complex in October of 2011. While they ushered in a new era with a new practice home in 2011-12, the Huskers are poised to move into a new competitive home in 2013-14. Nebraska will play its 37th and final season in the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2012-13, before moving into the Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln in 2013-14. With exciting young players as a nucleus and a pair of state of the art homes in the future, Nebraska expects to continue rewriting its women's basketball history.
Yvonne Turner (left) and Dominique Kelley (right) teamed in the Huskers' starting lineup for three seasons (2008-10) after earning Nebraska Gatorade State High School Player-of-the-Year honors. Kelley and Turner combined for more than 2,000 points in the NU lineup while adding tenacious defense on the perimeter.

WADE TROPHY WINNER KAREN JENNINGS WAS A THREE-TIME ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN | HISTORY
184 | nebraska women's basketball | 2012-13
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 finished with a 23-8 record and a second-place finish with a 10-4 mark in Big Eight Conference play. Jennings also claimed a spot on the Big Eight All-Tournament team after leading the Huskers to the tournament championship game.

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

total in school history with 19 boards to go along with 23 points in a 104-63 win over Brigham Young at the Illinois Invitational in Champaign, Ill., on Dec. 14, 1985. She also had 29 points and 14 rebounds at Iowa State on Feb. 22, 1986 and 29 points and 11 boards against Kansas on March 6, 1988, to list among the top 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.

educational ledger
• Wisconsin-Whitewater, 1990 (Bachelor’s Degree, Business) • Marquette, 1995 (Juris Doctorate) • Assistant Adjunct Professor of Law (Marquette) Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th athletic director in the history of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst was formally introduced as the Special Assistant to the Chancellor on Oct. 9. Eichorst replaces legendary coach and athletic director Tom Osborne on Jan. 1, 2013. Osborne announced his retirement as Nebraska's athletic director on Sept. 26, after spending five years in the role. Eichorst said he was honored to get the privilege to be a part of Nebraska Athletics. "(Nebraska is) one of the great universities in America and one of the strongest athletic departments in all of college sports who has the welfare of its student-athletes at the heart of everything they do. I am humbled by both the responsibility and opportunities that lie ahead. I hope to carry on the rich tradition of Husker excellence set by Coach Osborne and so many others." Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it was Eichorst's commitment to putting student-athletes first that made Eichorst stand out. "When I asked him how, if he were here five years from now, would I be able to measure his success, his response was that if the coaches and student-athletes had been successful and nobody knows his name, it would be a success." Eichorst comes to Nebraska after spending 18 months as the athletic director at the University of Miami. He was named the 12th athletic director at Miami on April 12, 2011. Eichorst went to Miami after serving from 2009 to 2011 as the Deputy Athletic Director at the University of Wisconsin, where his responsibilities under Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez included serving as the department's Chief Operating Officer and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the highly successful athletics program. During Eichorst's time at the University of Wisconsin, the Badger athletic department consisted of 23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees and operated from a $90 million budget. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new $36 million ice hockey/ swim facility that was completed in the fall of 2012, as well as with the studentathlete performance center in the north end zone of Camp Randall Stadium which began construction in the fall of 2011 at a cost of more than $70 million. He joined the Badgers' staff in 2006 as a Senior Associate Athletic Director and was promoted to Executive Associate Athletic Director in 2007. In his first year as Director of Athletics at Miami, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs - football, baseball, men's diving, women's cross country and women's golf. During the 2011-12 academic year, 149 studentathletes made the Atlantic Coast Conference Honor Roll and 70 earned their degrees. Under his watchful eye, the Hurricane Club grew by more than 500 members, surpassing 5,000 members nationwide and $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12. An additional $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised toward the Theodore G. Schwartz and Todd G. Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence facility project, which is scheduled for completing in the fall of 2013. During his first year, both the men's and women's basketball programs advanced to the postseason. The women posted the highest national ranking in school history
(No. 5 overall) and advanced to the NCAA second round, while the men set a program record for conference wins and advanced to the NIT second round. The women's tennis team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals (Elite Eight) for the fourth straight season. The baseball program extended its NCAA postseason appearances streak to 40 consecutive seasons. The women's soccer team posted the first NCAA postseason win in program history, and the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA postseason for the third straight year and finished the season ranked 15th nationally. Other accomplishments included long-term contract extensions for head football coach Al Golden, head men's basketball coach Jim Larranaga, and head women's basketball coach Katie Meier. Eichorst also coordinated a strategic review of all operations and reorganized the senior management team. Miami enhanced branding at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the BankUnited Center and inside the Hecht Athletic Center. New scoreboards were also added at the James L. Knight Sports Complex and Cobb Stadium. Eichorst previously worked at the University of South Carolina, serving as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Administration from 2004 to 2006 and as the Interim Director of Athletics in June 2005. Working with the Gamecocks, he oversaw the department's daily operations as well as the football (Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier) and baseball (Ray Tanner) programs. The football team was bowl-eligible each year during Eichorst's tenure, and the baseball program competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he facilitated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a state-of-the-art football training facility, partnership/sponsorship agreements and substantial department organizational and policy growth. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, threetime letterwinner and 1990 team captain for the UW-Whitewater football team. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette University in 1995. In 2006, he was awarded the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year by Marquette. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee. Eichorst practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999, when he was hired by UW-Whitewater as Director of Athletics, which he led until 2003. Under his tenure, UW-Whitewater developed into one of the nation's top Division III athletic programs, with four top 10 percent National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors Cup finishes; one NCAA team championship; four NCAA team national runner-up finishes and seven individual NCAA champions. The program also featured an NCAA Student-Athlete of the Year for Wisconsin, 84 All-Americans, 38 Academic All-America selections and nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He also previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He currently serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors. Eichorst and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.
