The Bluejays had their two-game winning streak snapped, while Nebraska captured its third straight victory by winning its first game against Creighton at the Civic Auditorium since The Huskers controlled the first half as both teams struggled offensively. Nebraska led in what was the fourth-lowest scoring first half by both teams in school history. The 17 points scored by CU in the first half tied for the fifth-lowest opponent total in the NU record book. The two teams erupted in the second half, combining for 41 points in the first eight minutes while scoring on nearly every possession. At one point, Creighton scored on eight of nine possessions to turn an eight-point deficit with 14:52 to play into a six-point lead with 8:44 left. Nebraska led for the first 28 minutes of the game after bolting out of the gate to an 11-0 lead in the first 5:45 with baskets from five different Huskers, including a three-pointer from Chelsea Aubry. CU freshman Megan Neuvirth broke up the Husker shutout on her layup with 14:10 left in the half.

Kiera Hardy, who scored 12 points, grabbed five rebounds and dished out five assists, then took over. The senior guard from Kansas City, Mo., hit a jumper to give Nebraska the lead back at 50-49, before draining a three-pointer to make it NU. After Creighton s Ally Thrall answered with a three-pointer, Hardy converted a three-point play to keep the Huskers in control at with 3:59 left. Nebraska did not trail again, as Creighton cut the NU lead to one point at before Spiric answered with a layup, and Kelsey Griffin and TK LaFleur added free throws down the stretch to seal the win. Griffin led NU with 13 points and 11 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season. Spiric added 11 points, and Aubry added 10 points and six rebounds in a strong effort to give Nebraska four players in double figures. Chevelle Herring and Thrall led CU with 12 points, while Tyrai Bronson added eight points. For the game, Nebraska hit 48.1 percent of its shots from the field, including 60 percent shooting in the second half.

Crow, OSU 215 Hardy smashed Nebraska s three-point record with six three-pointers against Texas on Jan. 18, She finished the night with 158 threes in 75 games, shooting past current WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge s previous Nebraska mark of 155 three-pointers in 117 career games. With seven three-pointers against Iowa on March 21, 2005, Hardy shares Nebraska s single-game record and has hit six or more three-pointers in a game on five occasions. Aubry Leading the Huskers at Home and Away Through Nebraska s first five home games, Chelsea Aubry is averaging 11.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in the friendly confines of the Devaney Center. Aubry is shooting a sizzling 64.9 percent from the field at home, including a blistering 71.4 percent (10-14) from three-point range. Those numbers came in sharp contrast to Aubry s first five games away from the Devaney Center, when she averaged 5.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 41.4 percent from the field and 16.7 percent (1-6) from three-point range. However, in Nebraska s road win over Creighton on Tuesday night, Aubry continued her strong offensive play, scoring 10 points to go along with six rebounds, while hitting 4-of-6 shots from the field, including 2-of-3 threepointers. It was Aubry s fourth double-figure scoring effort of the year and first away from the Devaney Center. Aubry s numbers at home this season are not necessarily a reflection of her four-year career at Nebraska. In fact, Aubry has traditionally been one of the Huskers top players on the road. She scored a career-high 20 points on a 7-for-7 shooting night from the field at Texas A&M on Feb. 16, 2005, and last season she scored 10 points on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting effort from the floor in Nebraska s win at Colorado on Jan. 4. The win over the Buffs marked NU s first win in Boulder in 20 years. Aubry has started 69 games in her NU career, including an active streak of 57 straight starts, dating back to a Jan. 29, 2005 win over Kansas. Aubry s last non-start came at Iowa State on Jan. 22, Overall, Aubry has increased her scoring and rebounding averages to 8.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She scored a season-high 18 points against Michigan on Dec. 9, and had 14 points and a team-leading eight Head Coach Connie Yori (Creighton, 1986) (72-61, 5th Season at NU) ( , 17th Season) NCAA Division III Season School Won Lost Pct Loras College Loras College Totals 2 seasons NCAA Division I Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Creighton Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska Div.

She added eight more rebounds and eight points in the Huskers win over Northwestern on Dec. 16. She posted her first double-figure scoring effort of the season with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in a win over Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 17. Aubry has returned to her natural power forward position this season after unselfishly moving to the three spot last year to compensate for the loss of Jelena Spiric to a knee injury. Aubry s numbers suffered last season as she adjusted to the wing, but her role as a leader on the team became even more recognizable. Aubry continues to show her unselfishness on defense by stepping in to take repeated charges as one of the Huskers best interior defenders. A three-year captain, Aubry played for the Canadian National Team at the 2006 World Championships in Brazil, after helping the Canadians earn a spot in the World Championships the previous summer. A member of Nebraska s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and an academic All-Big 12 performer in the classroom, Aubry participated in the NCAA Leadership Conference in Spiric Returns from Injury for Senior Season Jelena Spiric has made a successful return to the court after missing the entire season with a knee injury. The 6-0 senior from Belgrade, Serbia, earned a spot on the Veterans Day Classic All-Tournament team with her 13-point, five-rebound performance in the Huskers win over No. 18 New Mexico on Nov. 13. For the tournament, Spiric averaged 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. She is coming off a solid 11-point effort at Creighton on Tuesday night, her second double-figure scoring effort of the season. Spiric is averaging 6.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a team-leading 1.5 steals per game. Spiric suffered a torn right ACL in practice on Oct. 18, 2005, just days after the start of fall practice. Spiric s injury sidelined her for the duration of her second season at Nebraska. An outstanding student and experienced international player, Spiric considered returning to Europe to pursue a professional career after earning her bachelor s degree as a biochemistry major in May of Spiric chose to return for her final season at Nebraska, and the Huskers are planning to make it a memorable one for the 2005 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. As a junior in , Spiric averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game on the year, but increased her averages to 9.3 points and 4.6 boards per game in conference action. Spiric was slowed at the start of her Nebraska career after suffering a torn left ACL in the final game of her junior college career at Colby Community College. Spiric earned NJCAA first-team All-America honors in her only season at Colby, averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game. She opened her collegiate career at NCAA Division II UMass-Lowell, averaging 8.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game for the River Hawks as a freshman in Huskers Have Featured Solid Starting Five The Nebraska lineup has showcased the same starting five through each of the first 11 games, with seniors Kiera Hardy, Cheslea Aubry, Jelena Spiric and Ashley Ford joined by sophomore Kelsey Griffin. In , Nebraska featured the same starting lineup in all 30 games, as one of just eight schools in the nation to start the same five players every game during the season. Nebraska s opponent on Thursday night, Nicholls State, has used the same starting lineup for each of its first nine games this season. Husker Depth Creating Impressive Dividends Although Nebraska s roster features just 12 names, all hands have been on deck through the Huskers first 11 games. All 12 players have appeared in at least three games, while 11 players have appeared in seven or more contests. Eleven Huskers are also averaging at least 10 minutes per game. Nebraska s depth allowed the Husker starters to rest their legs during a rigorous road schedule to open the season. NU played five of its first six games away from the Devaney Center with four of those contests coming against 2006 NCAA Tournament qualifiers, but the Husker starters were still able to stay fresh. Senior guard Kiera Hardy leads the Huskers with 25.8 minutes per game. Seniors Jelena Spiric (25.4 mpg) and Chelsea Aubry (24.3 mpg) and sophomore Kelsey Griffin (22.3 mpg) are the only other Huskers averaging 20 or more minutes per contest. Off the bench, Nicole Neals, TK LaFleur and Cory Montgomery have all averaged more than 16 minutes per game, while Danielle Page has contributed nearly 14 minutes per contest. Yvonne Turner, Kala Kuhlmann and Nikki Bober have also seen significant playing time in their first seasons at Nebraska. Those numbers come in stark contrast to the season, when Jina Johansen led the Huskers by playing a school-record 36.1 minutes per game, Hardy averaged 32.4 minutes per game as sophomore, and only eight players averaged double-figure minutes. Page Making Miraculous Return from Knee Injury Junior Danielle Page has made a remarkably fast recovery from an ACL injury in mid-june and returned to a full practice schedule on Monday, Oct. 30. Page who underwent surgery on her right knee on June 29, spent an efficient four months rehabilitating her knee. The 6-2 forward from Monument, Colo., was given the green light for full participation before NU s final exhibition

7 Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 7 Nicholls State Dec. 21, 2006 Huskers.com game against UNO. Although she was not expected to be ready for a full return until the start of the Big 12 Conference season in January, Page saw game action in Nebraska s exhibition finale against Nebraska-Omaha. Page showed no ill-effects of her injury. In fact, she showed the exceptional lateral quickness that made her one of Nebraska s top shot-blockers in school history. She also connected on three mid-range jumpshots on her way to scoring 10 points. She added seven rebounds, one block, one steal and one assist in just 15 minutes of action off the bench. Page has made major contributions to open the regular season by averaging 4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and a team-leading 1.1 blocks per game. She had her strongest performance of the season with nine points, five rebounds and a career-high tying five blocked shots against UC Irvine on Nov. 24. She added a season-high nine rebounds to go along with four points against Northwestern on Dec. 16. Last season, Page averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 boards per game. Page-inator (NU Career Blocks) Player Bks 1. Janet Smith Charlie Rogers Maurtice Ivy Kathy Hagerstrom Katie Morse Casey Leonhardt Danielle Page Rissa Taylor Pyra Aarden 63 Karen Jennings 63 A dominant defender in the post, Page is one of the leading shot-blockers in Nebraska history, ranking No. 7 on the Husker career block chart with 81. She has added 59 steals and 187 defensive rebounds in her career, making her one of NU s top all-around defensive players. LaFleur Playing Well in Second Season Sophomore TK LaFleur is seeing significant minutes this season after surging down the stretch in her freshman campaign. The 5-8 guard from Houston averaged 7.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in NU s final 10 games and had an excellent offseason. LaFleur provides the Huskers with an athletic presence on the wing, along with solid defensive skills, while she continues to expand her offensive game. She demonstrated her improvements with the best performance of her career in Nebraska s win over Florida Atlantic on Nov. 12 at the Veterans Day Classic in Tempe, Ariz. LaFleur tied her career highs with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists against the Owls. She scored 12 points and pulled down four boards in the first half alone to power the Huskers to a 30-point halftime lead. She added eight points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in just 13 minutes of action in the Huskers win over Michigan on Dec. 9, before adding nine points, four boards and a steal in 16 minutes in a win over Northwestern on Dec. 16. She scored all nine points in the second half against the Wildcats. Through 11 games this season, LaFleur is averaging 5.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game to help the Huskers to an 9-2 record. She has also hit 6-of-20 attempts from three-point range. Although she did not earn a start in her freshman season, LaFleur averaged nearly 17 minutes per game off the bench, including 21 minutes per contest during the final 10 games. She averaged 5.4 points per game on the year, while ranking third on the team with 20 made three-pointers (32.3 percent). Husker Freshmen Contributing Early and Often Nebraska s five-player freshman class has made significant contributions while gaining meaningful experience through the Huskers first 11 games. Cory Montgomery, a 6-2 forward from Cannon Falls, Minn., has made major contributions in all 11 contests, averaging 9.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per game off the bench. Montgomery established a career high with 18 points in the Huskers win over Texas-Pan American on Nov. 28. She added 16 points and a career-high five rebounds in a win over Florida Atlantic on Nov. 12, while pumping in a team-high 15 points in NU s win over Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 17. She added 14 points in the Huskers win over Michigan on Dec. 9, producing double figures in four of her first 11 games as a Husker. Nicole Neals, a native of Chandler, Ariz., has also provided a spark off the bench for the Huskers. Neals is averaging 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.5 steals per game, while leading the freshmen with 18.5 minutes per contest. She scored a career-high nine points in a career-high 29 minutes against Minnesota on Dec. 5, and added career-bests with six rebounds and four assists in the Huskers win over Michigan on Dec. 9. She had eight points, including a pair of three-pointers to help ignite Nebraska s comeback from an 11-point first-half deficit in the win over Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 17. She added six points on a pair of big threes to help the Huskers win at USC on Nov. 26. Des Moines Register Iowa Female Athlete-of-the-Year Kala Kuhlmann has played in 10 games, and has hit big shots in back-to-back games for the Huskers this week. Kuhlmann hit a pair of jumpers late in the second half at Creighton, one to tie the score at 43 after the Bluejays took their first lead of the game, and one to trim a three-point CU lead to just one with 6:53 left. Kuhlmann s spark ignited NU s offense to a win. In the win over Northwestern on Dec. 16, Kuhlmann hit both of her shots from the field late in the second half as well, one putting the Huskers up by four points and one to put NU up by five after the Wildcats had narrowed Nebraska s lead to just one possession. She has scored four points in each of the last three games after scoring a total of four points in the Huskers first eight contests this season. Kuhlmann finished her career as the fourth-leading scorer in Iowa High School history with 2,337 points. As a sophomore at Charter Oak-Ute, Kuhlmann led the state by averaging 28 points per game.

Turner has seen action in seven contests. The Omaha native led Bellevue East to a state title a year ago. Her progress was slowed in the offseason by a left foot injury that forced her into a walking boot for eight weeks. Freshman center Nikki Bober enjoyed a solid debut by scoring double figures with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field in NU s win over Florida Atlantic. Bober added four points, one rebound, two steals and a blocked shot in the Huskers win over Texas-Pan American on Nov. 28, and pitched in five points, three rebounds and a block in NU s win over Michigan on Dec. 9. The tallest player on the Husker roster, the 6-4 post player from Elmwood-Murdock averaged 17 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a senior, after rebounding from a seasonending knee injury early in her junior season. Huskers Tackle Challenging Schedule After playing 16 games against teams that advanced to postseason play in , Nebraska will face an even more challenging road during the campaign. Nebraska s regular-season schedule could include as many as 18 games against 2006 postseason qualifiers with as many as seven non-conference games against some of the nation s best teams. Among the Huskers eight road non-conference games this season, as many as six could come against 2006 NCAA teams. The Huskers dove headfirst into the postseason-caliber action with three games against 2006 NCAA Tournament qualifiers on the road in the opening weekend of the season. Nebraska fell to No. 13 Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., on Nov. 10, before rebounding with a win over 2006 NCAA qualifier Florida Atlantic in the second game of the Veterans Day Classic on Nov. 12. The Huskers faced their third straight 2006 NCAA Tournament squad when they knocked off No. 18 New Mexico, 66-59, in Tempe on Nov. 13. The victory marked Nebraska s first non-conference road win since defeating No. 16 Western Kentucky on Nov. 20, On Nov. 26, the Huskers posted their third win of the season over an NCAA Tournament team with a victory at USC. The Women of Troy joined Arizona State and New Mexico in advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago. The Huskers battled 2006 NCAA qualifier Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Dec. 5. The Golden Gophers are the only NCAA team that ventured to Lincoln during the non-conference season. The game with Minnesota was the second of six straight contests NU will play in Nebraska from the week after Thanksgiving through Christmas. The Huskers will get ready for Big 12 play by facing 2006 NCAA qualifier NC State at the State Farm Classic in Gainesville, Fla., on Dec. 28. If the Huskers can get past the Wolfpack, they could see the hosts from Florida in the championship game on Dec. 29. The Gators earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament last year and have received preseason top-25 consideration. While the Huskers could play seven of their first 14 games against 2006 postseason qualifiers, their 16-game Big 12 Conference schedule will only offer more challenges with 11 games against postseason competition. Nebraska opens the Big 12 slate at Texas, a perennial national power that did not advance to postseason play in The Huskers play their Big 12 home opener against defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma on Jan. 6. The home game with the Sooners will start a stretch of nine consecutive games against 2006 postseason clubs for the Huskers. The nine-game stretch will include a game with 2005 NCAA and Big 12 champion Baylor at the Devaney Center on Feb. 3, along with road contests at 2006 NCAA qualifiers Missouri (Jan. 20) and Texas A&M (Jan. 24). Big 12 North series with 2006 WNIT champion Kansas State and WNIT qualifier Kansas will be completed during the run, while the Huskers will also face WNIT qualifier Iowa State at home on Jan. 31. If Nebraska can capitalize on its opportunities during the first 10 games of the Big 12 schedule, the Huskers could have a chance to build momentum heading into the postseason with four of their last six league games coming against teams that did not advance to postseason play a year ago. The Huskers honor their four-player senior class on Feb. 27 in the regular-season finale against Colorado, before going to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship at the COX Convention Center in Oklahoma City, March Huskers Sixth in Preseason Big 12 Poll The Nebraska women s basketball team was tabbed as the No. 6 team in the Big 12 by the league coaches, the conference office announced in its preseason poll on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Defending conference champion Oklahoma was picked to win its second consecutive conference title in The Sooners received all 11 possible first-place votes for a total of 121 points. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. Texas A&M was selected second (107 points), followed by Texas in third (101 points), Baylor fourth (94 points) and Iowa State fifth (68 points), with the Huskers just two points behind the Cyclones in sixth with 66 points.
