Cady also earned a spot on the honorable-mention All-Big Ten team from the conference media. She became the first Husker freshman since Meggan Yedsena in 1991 to earn a spot on an overall all-conference team. Yedsena is the only Husker in history to earn four spots on all-conference teams. Yedsena claimed honorable-mention All-Big Eight accolades in 1991, before capturing three second-team awards in 1992, 1993 and Husker Starting Five Solid for 33 Straight Games in Nebraska put the same starting five on the floor for 33 consecutive games in , a miraculous feat considering the injuries the Huskers battled on their way to a record in , and during the final month of All five of Nebraska s starters played with leg injuries at some point in , including Jordan Hooper and Hailie Sample, who did not practice in the week leading up to NU s appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska, which was the only Big Ten team to feature the same starting five throughout , was one of only three teams in the 2012 NCAA Tournament to start the same five for every game. Kansas State and BYU were the other two. The Huskers featured the same starting five for 32 games on their way to a season and the NCAA Tournament. Yori s Huskers also used the same starting five for 30 games on their way to an season and a WNIT bid.

Havers, Tvrdy, Ramacieri Feel at Home as Huskers Nebraska women s basketball coach Connie Yori announced the signing of three talented prep stars to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, Nov. 14, to join the Huskers for the season. Allie Havers, Hannah Tvrdy and Esther Ramacieri will join the Huskers in hoping to continue Nebraska s tradition of postseason play. Havers, a 6-5 senior forward from Mattawan High School in Michigan, will bring outstanding height, length and athleticism to the Huskers. Tvrdy, one of the winningest players in Nebraska High School history from prep power Seward, adds another player with a point guard s mentality to the Husker backcourt. Ramacieri adds international flavor to the Husker class, as the fourth Canadian to sign with Nebraska in 11 seasons under Yori. We re excited about the addition of Hannah, Allie, and Esther to our Husker family, Yori said. They all are hard-working kids who fit in our system both on and off the court.

13 Nebraska Women s Basketball Page Game Notes Huskers.com Allie Havers - 6-5, Forward, Paw Paw, Mich. (Mattawan) Ranked as the No. 76 overall player in the nation, Allie Havers earned first-team Michigan Class A honors from the Associated Press and Detroit Free Press in A first-team All-South Michigan Athletic Conference selection each of her first three seasons at Mattawan High School for Coach Troy Wright, the 6-5 Havers was also the Kalamazoo Area Player of the Year in As a junior at Mattawan, Havers averaged 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.3 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.3 assists for the 16-7 Wildcats. She shot 50 percent from the field, including 31 percent from three-point range, while knocking down 77 percent of her free throws. An excellent all-around athlete who has shown guard skills on the court to go along with her 6-5 frame, Havers competed for the Michigan Crossover club team coached by Emez Oliver. Havers was also a fouryear letterwinner as a middle blocker/hitter on the Mattawan volleyball team. She also earned three letters as a pitcher and shortstop for the softball team. We like versatile and athletic players in our program and Allie Havers fits that mold perfectly, Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. She can do multiple things for our basketball team with her ability to run the floor, score in the paint or face up away from the basket. She will be one of the more athletic players on our roster. Her upside is tremendous, and with our strength and conditioning program and the opportunity to focus on just one sport, we think she will thrive at Nebraska. Her future is very bright here. Havers said she chose Nebraska over Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Green Bay and Iowa State. I really like the facilities, but what I really got attached to was the people, Havers said. All of the girls are hilarious and really nice. I also loved the coaches. They were great. So it was really the people for me. Hannah Tvrdy - 5-9, Guard, Seward, Neb. (Seward) A four-year starting guard for Nebraska prep power Seward High School, Hannah Tvrdy committed to Nebraska before her junior season for the Bluejays in Hannah s father, Tom, is the head coach at Seward, while her mother, Shelly (Block) was a letterwinner for the Huskers ( ).

She played her first two seasons alongside current Husker sophomore Emily Cady at Seward. Tvrdy, who was rated by ESPN as the No. 28 point guard in the nation in the class of 2013, was a teammate of Cady s and current Husker guard Sadie Murren on the Cornhusker Shooting Stars club team coached by Dan Lesoing. Hannah s father Tom was also an assistant coach for the Shooting Stars. Hannah is an unselfish guard with size. She can rebound and shoot and she has that Nebraska bluecollar work ethic and toughness that we like, Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. She has been well-coached and is accustomed to competing for and winning championships. She is former teammates with some of our current Huskers, and that will help ease her transition to the Division I level. Tvrdy said she chose Nebraska because it felt like home. When I visited I instantly fell in love with the program, Tvrdy said. The coaches are wonderful, and I know they will push me every day to become a better player. When I met the team I knew I could fit in and have a great time playing with them. It just felt right, and I knew it was my future home. Esther Ramacieri - 5-8, Guard, Repentigny, Canada (Felix Leclerc/Dawson College) Esther Ramacieri was the final commit to the Huskers three-player recruiting class, choosing Nebraska in September after her official visit. Ramacieri is entering her second season of CEGEP at Dawson College. She will have four years of eligibility at Nebraska. Ramacieri helped Dawson to a first-place finish at Quebec s Provincial Championships in and a silver medal finish at the CCAA National Championships. She averaged 7.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, while helping Dawson to an 18-2 record. Ramacieri was chosen as Felix Leclerc High School s athlete of the year four times.

Ramacieri played on bronze medal-winning teams for Quebec at the 2011 Canadian U-17 Championships and the 2008 Canadian U-15 Championships. She also helped her Lanaudiere club team to a silver medal at the 2007 Quebec Games. She served as the official flag bearer for Lanaudiere at the 2010 Quebec Games in Gatineau. On offense we like to play fast and Esther is an up-tempo type of guard, Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. Esther is a good on-ball defender and excels at pushing the ball in transition, which makes her a great fit for our system. She is athletic, competitive, an excellent ball-handler, and a hard worker. She can score off the dribble or shoot the three. She will help provide immediate depth in our backcourt. Ramacieri will become the fourth Canadian to compete for the Huskers in women s basketball, following 2012 Canadian Olympian Chelsea Aubry ( ), Kaitlyn Burke ( ) and Harleen Sidhu ( ). I chose Nebraska because it was the best fit for me, as far as the school, academics, coaches and players, Ramacieri said. Once I came on the visit, I knew there was no other place that could compare to Nebraska. It felt like I was a part of a family. I ve wanted to play basketball in the states ever since I was six years old, so finding a perfect fit for me was a dream come true.
