I was really worried about our focus heading into the game, since we just got back from a long road trip and had very little time to prepare, Yori said. Obviously we came out ready to play and got off to a good start in each half. We got our non-starters more minutes than our starters, so that was good to get our younger players some more playing time.

After hitting a school-record 85 three-pointers as a sophomore in , Hardy added 81 threes a year ago while leading the Big 12 with 2.53 made per game. She could realistically climb to No. 2 on the Big 12 all-time chart.

She scored 2,238 points, grabbed 1,240 rebounds, blocked 387 shots and dished out 261 assists to establish school records in all four categories. Inside the Numbers: Percentages Point to Victories Through seven games, Nebraska is shooting a sizzling 49 percent from the field as a team. If the season ended today, the Huskers shooting percentage would rank fifth in school history and would be NU s best field goal percentage since (school-record 50.3 percent). The Huskers have also been solid from long range, connecting on 35.8 percent of their three-point attempts. NU s three-point shooting percentage would rank as the third-best in school history, trailing only the team s 41.3 percent and the squad s 39.6 percent. Husker Depth Creating Impressive Dividends Although Nebraska s roster features just 12 names, all hands have been on deck through the Huskers first seven games. All 12 players have appeared in at least two games, while 11 players have appeared in five or more contests. Eleven Huskers are also averaging at least 10 minutes per game. Nebraska s depth has 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 forward Chelsea Aubry leads the Huskers with 23.9 minutes per game. Two-time All-Big 12 senior guard Kiera Hardy and senior forward Jelena Spiric have added 23.1 minutes per game along. Sophomore forward Kelsey Griffin has pitched in 21.1 minutes per game, while senior guard Ashley Ford rounds out NU s starters with 20.7 minutes per game. Off the bench, TK LaFleur, Nicole Neals and Cory Montgomery have all averaged more than 17 minutes per game, while Danielle Page has contributed nearly 15 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. Spiric Off to Solid Start in 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.

For the season Spiric is averaging 6.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists 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 Aubry, Ford Add Leadership to Husker Lineup Senior forward Chelsea Aubry and senior point guard Ashley Ford have been vocal leaders for the Huskers at both ends of the court for the Huskers at the start of Aubry, perhaps Nebraska s most experienced player with 65 career starts, is averaging 6.7 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. She posted her first double-figure scoring effort of the season with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the win over Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 17. She added nine points on 4-of-5 shooting against Texas-Pan American on Nov. 28, after producing six points and seven rebounds in NU s win over No. 18 New Mexico on Nov. 13. The 6-2 forward 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 Despite being NU s most inexperienced senior, Ford has also taken on a major leadership role for the Huskers this season. The 5-7 guard from Lincoln Northeast High School has started NU s first seven games and is averaging 1.7 points, 1.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Ford has also proven herself as one of Nebraska s best all-around defenders, not only putting solid pressure on the ball, but hawking the passing lanes and stepping in to take repeated charges on defense. 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 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 5.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.9 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. Last season, Page averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 boards per game. 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 75. She has added 58 steals and 179 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

7 Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 7 Minnesota Dec. 5, 2006 Huskers.com 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. Through seven games this season, LaFleur is averaging 5.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steal per game to help the Huskers to a 6-1 record. She has also hit 5-of-11 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 seven games. Cory Montgomery, a 6-2 forward from Cannon Falls, Minn., has made major contributions in all seven contests, averaging 9.9 points and 2.4 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. Nicole Neals, a native of Chandler, Ariz., has also provided a spark off the bench for the Huskers. Neals is averaging 4.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game, while leading the freshmen with 18.1 minutes per contest. Neals scored 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. WBCA High School All-American Yvonne Turner dished out six assists in the win over Florida Atlantic and has averaged 2.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game. Turner has seen action in five games. She did not play against Cal State Fullerton and missed NU s win at UC Irvine with an illness. 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. 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 season-ending knee injury early in her junior season. Des Moines Register Iowa Female Athlete-of-the-Year Kala Kuhlmann has played in six games, including a career-high 20 minutes off the bench against Texas-Pan American on Nov. 28. Kuhlmann missed NU s win over Florida Atlantic with an illness. 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. 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 will welcome 2006 NCAA qualifier Minnesota to the Devaney Center on Dec. 5. The Golden Gophers will be the only NCAA team that ventures to Lincoln during the non-conference season. The game with Minnesota will also be 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.

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 will honor their four-player senior class on Feb. 27 in the regular-season finale against Colorado, before heading to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship at the COX Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Okla., 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.

Yori Leading New Growth in Nebraska Program Now in her fifth season at Nebraska, Coach Connie Yori hopes to have the Huskers heading into the growth stage of what began as a major rebuilding project in Yori arrived in Lincoln on June 24, 2002, and was left with only a handful of healthy scholarship players and three consecutive losing seasons behind the existing players. After a challenging first season, Yori guided the Huskers to one of the nation s top turnarounds in Nebraska finished the season with an record and the Huskers 10-game improvement tied for the ninthbest swing in NCAA Division I women s basketball in More impressively, NU s final record came against a powerful schedule that included 19 games against teams that advanced to postseason play. The Huskers raced to a 10-1 non-conference record that included victories over No. 13 Ohio State and eventual WNIT champion Creighton, before notching one of the biggest wins in school history with an victory over No. 9 Kansas State in league play. The Huskers finished with a 7-9 record in the Big 12 to finish in a tie for seventh place. NU may have been a two-point loss to Missouri or three-point loss to No. 13 Colorado away from earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since The Huskers made their first postseason appearance since 2000 and played host to a postseason tournament game for the first time since Nebraska notched just the second home postseason victory in school history with a first-round WNIT win over Drake, before hosting just the third postseason game in school history in the second round against Oregon State. Nebraska continued the momentum in by replacing four senior starters from and finishing with an overall mark and its second straight postseason bid. The Huskers 8-8 Big 12 mark was their best finish since 2000, and included the biggest victory in school history, a triple overtime win over eventual national champion and then-no. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12, The Huskers also won their first Big 12 Tournament game since the 2000 campaign and continued their climb in the classroom as well. NU posted a team GPA of better than 3.0 during the spring 2005 semester, as 10 Huskers earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner s Academic Honor. Nebraska kept building in by winning two postseason games for the first time in school history. NU s record also marked the Huskers most victories since the campaign.
