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.

12 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Huskers Open Williams Coaching era; The Nebraska women's basketball team will take aim at its sixth consecutive postseason tournament appearance in , under the direction of firstyear head coach Amy Williams. The former Husker guard ( ) who played on a pair of NCAA Tournament teams at Nebraska before embarking on a coaching career, has plenty of experience coaching successful teams to postseason runs at all levels. In fact the two-time Summit League Coach of the Year at South Dakota (2015, 2016) led her Summit League regular-season champion Coyotes to a 32-6 record and the 2016 Postseason WNIT Championship before taking the job as Nebraska's 10th women's basketball coach on April 11, Now, after just over six months of leading her alma mater through a time of transition, Williams will be on the sideline at Pinnacle Bank Arena leading the Huskers in the 2016 Preseason WNIT to tip-off what promises to be the most challenging regular-season schedule in school history. "There certainly aren't many breaks in our schedule," Williams said. "The first three or hopefully four games we play in the WNIT will all be against 2016 postseason teams who have a majority, if not all of their starters back. After a tough home game against in-state foe Omaha, projected to be one of the top Summit League teams this season, we will play four straight games against ACC and Pac-12 teams with three of those coming away from home. We return to play Drake, a team that essentially returns everyone from a 23-win team a year ago. A home game against a very scrappy San Jose State team is followed by the difficult trip to in-state rival Creighton. We round out our non-conference schedule by playing defending national champion UConn at home on December 21st." Williams also knows the Big Ten doesn't offer many breaks either. "All eight of our home games in Big Ten play will come against teams that went to the postseason a year ago, and 13 of our 16 games overall in the conference will be against postseason teams," Williams said. "Anytime 22 of your 29 opponents have proven to be worthy of postseason play, you know you face a difficult challenge. However, the greatest accomplishments always start with difficult challenges and great opportunity. We are excited to have many opportunities to prove ourselves." Williams, who brought her entire staff with her from South Dakota to help speed the transition for Nebraska's players, knew the Huskers would face many challenges before taking the floor for the season. Williams has never shyed away from a challenge. A biology and math major at Nebraska, then-amy Gusso spent her first year of college at Nebraska in as a student. A two-time All-Black Hills Conference point guard at Spearfish, S.D., (Gusso) Williams earned a spot on the team as a walk-on to the Nebraska program coached by Angela Beck in She played sparingly and battled a leg injury her first two years in the program before Beck left Nebraska to coach in the fledgling ABL for the San Jose Lasers. (Gusso) Williams then had to earn a spot on the team for new head coach Paul Sanderford. She overcame that challenge to be a four-year letterwinner and an academic All-Big 12 selection for the Huskers. "I came to the University of Nebraska as a walkon student-athlete and scratched and clawed and fought and gave everything I had inside of me," Williams said. "Eventually I earned a scholarship. It is something that has been instilled in me, that blue collar, bring your lunch pail to work every day and Senior Allie Havers is expected to provide leadership for Nebraska in The 6-5 center from Mattawan, Mich., averaged 13.0 points and 6.8 rebounds over the last five games of Havers is a two-time academic All-Big Ten selection and a three-time member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. find a way to just outwork people. That is something that I definitely feel like was instilled in me at the University of Nebraska." Williams said the experience of putting in the work to improve translated into pride and confidence as both a player and as a young woman who chose to move into the coaching profession instead of a career in medicine. "It gave me an indescribable feeling of pride as a student-athlete when I got to wear that Husker jersey across my chest," Williams said. "I'm so excited to have the opportunity to return and be a part of this again." Williams has continued to follow the Nebraska program during her coaching stops, beginning with her graduate assistant position at Nebraska- Kearney ( ) before earning her first fulltime coaching position as an assistant at Texas-San Antonio in She faced the Huskers as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State from 2002 to 2005, before assisting at Tulsa from 2005 to Williams then embarked on the enormous challenge of taking a former junior college program at Rogers State into its first four-year season as an NAIA school in By , Williams had built the Claremore, Okla., school into an NAIA power with a trip to the Elite Eight. She returned to her home state of South Dakota to lead USD to four extremely successful years from to capped by last year's 32-6 season. Williams led the Coyotes to four consecutive trips to the Summit League Tournament Championship Game, including a victory in 2014 that resulted in an NCAA Tournament berth. Because Williams has faced challenges head on at every level, she has a good grasp of the challenges she is facing in her return to Nebraska, and she is embracing them fully. Williams and her staff spent the offseason working to build trust with the returning Nebraska players while honestly assessing strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, Williams evaluated the talent and depth on the Nebraska roster and began to fill some gaps. A primary challenge for the Huskers is to find the right combination to replace starting guards Rachel Theriot, Kyndal Clark and Natalie Romeo in the Big Red backcourt. Nebraska enters the season with senior guard Esther Ramacieri, who owns four career starts, alongside junior guards Jasmine Cincore and Emily Wood, who have combined for six starts. Sophomore Maddie Simon added five starts as a true freshman in , but battled several injuries to miss 10 games during the season. Some will point to our lack of experience in the guard positions as an area of concern," Williams said. "However, we have been pleased with the way our guards are embracing the opportunity and looking to rise to the occasion. Williams wasted little time in adding to Nebraska's backcourt upon her arrival in Lincoln. During the summer, the Huskers added senior transfer Janay Morton and sophomore transfer Bria Stallworth. Nebraska's 2016 state high school player of the year Rylie Cascio Jensen also made the decision to follow Coach Williams to Nebraska from South Dakota. Morton, who was an All-Mid-American Conference guard at Eastern Michigan, will have to sit out the season in order to play one season for the Huskers in A 5-10 guard from the Minneapolis area, Morton was a third-team All-MAC choice and a member of the MAC All-Defensive Team in 2016, after earning a spot on the MAC All-Freshman Team in Stallworth, a 5-6 guard from Chicago, was a member of the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team as a freshman at UMass. She led all A-10 freshmen in both scoring (13.0 ppg) and assists (3.8 apg) in before coming to Nebraska. Stallworth must also sit out the season due to NCAA transfer rules alongside Morton. Cascio Jensen, a 5-10 guard from Fremont, Neb., averaged 22.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and INTRODUCTION. THIS IS NEBRASKA. ADMINISTRATION. COACHES. MEET THE HUSKERS. OPPONENTS. REVIEW.

13 #HUSKERS 11 face toughest schedule in school history 2.6 steals per game to lead the Tigers to the Class A state quarterfinals as a senior in She is joined as a freshman in the Husker backcourt by 2016 Wisconsin High School Player of the Year Hannah Whitish. Whitish, a 5-9 guard from Barneveld, was a three-time first-team All-Wisconsin selection and led Barneveld to four consecutive appearances in the WIAA Division 5 state championship game. Whitish scored over 2,000 points during her high school career, including 24.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 4.5 steals per game as a senior. She also hit 48 percent of her three-pointers for the Golden Eagles as a senior. The Huskers added another talented guard in 6-1 wing Nicea Eliely. The No. 25 guard in the class of 2016 according to ESPN, Eliely averaged 21.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.4 steals and 2.0 blocks per game as a senior at Rampart High School in Colorado Springs. Another primary challenge is to find a combination of healthy post players around returning starters Jessica Shepard and Allie Havers inside. Shepard was Nebraska's first-ever freshman firstteam all-conference selection in The 6-4 forward from Fremont averaged Nebraska freshman records of 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game on her way to becoming Nebraska's first Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Shepard, who won a conference-record 10 Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week awards, set the Nebraska freshman and Pinnacle Bank Arena records with 35 points in a win over Northern Arizona on Dec. 19, She then matched that scoring total on her way to becoming the first player in Nebraska history to produce a 30-point, 20-rebound game in a win at Michigan on Jan. 24, Her 35-point, 20-rebound game against the Wolverines was one of a Nebraska freshman-record 10 double-doubles for Shepard. Shepard's success came despite having less than one week of practice before the start of Nebraska's 2015 exhibiton season, after suffering an ACL tear in December of Shepard also battled a stress reaction in her foot late in the season that limited her production down the stretch. A healthy Shepard will be a key to Nebraska's success in "Jessica is a very gifted basketball player coming off an impressive freshman campaign," Williams said. "She spent the offseason getting stronger and working to become more well-rounded." Havers, a 6-5 senior center from Mattawan, Mich., has been a key contributor at Nebraska for three seasons. A freshman on Nebraska's 2014 Big Ten Tournament championship team, Havers moved into a starting role midway through her junior season in For the year, she averaged 8.3 points and 6.6 rebounds, including four double-doubles. She produced back-to-back doubles with 13 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Northwestern in the regular-season finale on Feb. 28, before adding 16 points and 10 rebounds against Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament on March 3. "We are going to look for Allie to step up and be a leader for us as a senior," Williams said. "She has been working hard to expand her skill set, and she has the ability to provide consistent scoring and rebounding, in addition to senior leadership for this team." The Huskers were dealt a blow in October with season-ending knee surgery to sophomore Rachel Blackburn. The 6-3 forward started the first nine games of her freshman season in and helped the Huskers to a 7-2 record with their only losses on the road to No. 1 UConn and No. 22 Cal. Blackburn was extremely limited in practice and games the rest of the season because of knee pain, and underwent surgery soon after the completion of the season. She opted for a second surgery on Oct. 13, 2016, and will miss the entire season. With Blackburn out, Nebraska will look to true freshman Grace Mitchell to provide a presence inside while extending the floor as a stretch-four. The 2016 Kansas USA Today High School Sports Player of the Year, Mitchell hit 48 percent of her threes as a senior at Wellington High School. She averaged 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in her lone season at Wellington. "We have been very pleased with Grace's versatility and willingness to fit in wherever the team needs her," Williams said. "She is strong and athletic and has an incredible work ethic, and we are excited about all she brings to our team." Third-year sophomore Darrien Washington will need to provide support inside for the Huskers. The 6-2 forward redshirted as a true freshman in , then played sparingly as a redshirt freshman in However, Washington has proven she can be productive, amassing 20 points and 19 rebounds in just 39 total minutes a year ago. "Darrien is gaining confidence and comfort as she enters her third year at Nebraska," Williams said. "Her size and strength put her in a great position to be a physical presence for us in the post." While Williams and her coaching staff work to find the best positions for their players to be successful in , they know Nebraska's schedule will provide plenty of opportunities for the Huskers to prove themselves before Big Ten play rolls around. Nebraska will make its first appearance in the Preseason WNIT since 2004, when the Huskers play host to at least three games at Pinnacle Bank Arena to open the season. NU will open the regular season against UT-Rio Grande Valley (formerly Texas- Pan American) on Saturday, Nov. 12. The Vaqueros return four starters from a team that advanced to the Postseason WNIT after going overall and finishing 9-5 as the Western Athletic Conference runner-up in The Huskers will then face either 2016 NCAA qualifier Missouri (22-10) or Southland Conference Champion Abilene Christian (26-4), which played in the 2016 Postseason WNIT, on Monday, Nov. 14. A third game in the WNIT could bring either a Final Four Washington team or a 32-win Colorado State team to Pinnacle Bank Arena on Nov. 17, before the possibility of the Preseason WNIT Championship Game on Nov. 20. After a Nov. 22 game against Omaha, the Huskers head to Las Vegas for the South Point Shootout at Thanksgiving. NU will face Washington State on Nov. 25, before taking on Virginia on Nov. 26. The Big Red will play another team from the Old Dominion in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at Virginia Tech on Dec. 1. Both Virginia and Virginia Tech played in the 2016 Postseason WNIT. The Huskers will play their second Pac-12 team when they face California at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Dec. 4. The Big Red fell in overtime to the Bears in Berkeley last season. Nebraska then faces a Drake squad that returns four starters from a team that advanced to the WNIT last year. The game with the Bulldogs on Dec. 6, precedes a clash with San Jose State on Dec. 9. The Big Red will take a break for Finals Week before battling 2016 WNIT qualifier Creighton in Omaha on Dec. 18. Three days later, four-time defending NCAA Champion UConn comes to Pinnacle Bank Arena to close out the Huskers' non-conference schedule on Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. All eight of Nebraska's home Big Ten games will come against 2016 postseason teams, beginning with Northwestern on Dec. 28. Perennial NCAA Final Four contender Maryland comes to town Jan. 4, before Rutgers returns to Lincoln on Jan. 10. The Big Red will play Michigan at home on Jan. 22, amidst a stretch of playing four of five Big Ten games on the road to close January. February opens with Minnesota at home on Feb. 4, before the Huskers play three of their final four games at home against 2016 NCAA qualifiers Ohio State (Feb. 16), Indiana (Feb. 19) and Michigan State (Feb. 26).

14 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Big Ten Conference Known as one of intercollegiate sports most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back 121 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11, 1895, then-purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the universities of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern and Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college James E. Delany Commissioner athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents first known action restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies. That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On Feb. 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association in Indiana and Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the Big Ten by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men s ice hockey and men s and women s lacrosse the last three years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 sports, furthering the conference s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the conference leaders and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference s first Commissioner of Athletics. Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference s history, followed by Kenneth L. Tug Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when Chicago formally withdrew its membership in Michigan State was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. In 2014, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. In one of Duke s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions that would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Penn State for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. Big Ten Network Headquartered in Chicago, the Big Ten Network is the first internationally distributed television network dedicated to covering one of America s premier collegiate conferences. With more than 400 live sports events, and virtually all of them in high definition, the Big Ten Network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni across the country. The network is on the air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The network is available to an estimated 60 million households. The network is carried by all major cable, satellite and telecommunications providers and BTN2Go is also available on smartphones, tables and the internet. Since the current Big Ten media agreements began in , Big Ten women's basketball has received more coverage than any other conference. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by Nebraska, which officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, The conference expanded to 14 programs when Maryland and Rutgers officially became Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins had been accepted as the conference s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins addition in men s lacrosse gave the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men s lacrosse as an official conference sport. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women s lacrosse beginning in On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame will join the Big Ten for men s ice hockey beginning in Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, Ill., has played host to more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance-related committees and coaching groups. The headquarters also feature an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience - which opened to the public on June 7, For more information on the Big Ten Experience, visit bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Three Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service. The conference manages 28 championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of nearly 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.

Tutorial Support A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 120 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association. Study Hall Nebraska s study hall program is housed in the D.J.

Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor.

Student-athletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information, and discuss academic success strategies. Educational Assessments Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments.

103 JESSICA SHEPARD Season Review

104 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Huskers Make Fifth Straight Postseason Trip A new look Nebraska women's basketball team, which had to replace four senior starters from , struggled through a swarm of injuries to make its fifth consecutive postseason tournament appearance in Jessica Shepard led the Huskers with a recordsetting individual season for a Nebraska freshman. The two-time Nebraska High School Player of the Year averaged Husker freshman records of 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game on her way to Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year honors. The 6-4 forward from Fremont also became the first freshman in Nebraska history to earn first-team all-conference honors. Shepard set a conference record by winning 10 of the Big Ten's freshman-ofthe-week awards. She was also a two-time USBWA National Freshman-of-the-Week. The No. 1 post player in the country coming out of high school, Shepard finished with a Nebraska freshman-record 574 points. She shattered the previous mark of 461 points by Debra Powell in Shepard also set the school freshman record by producing 10 double-doubles. Shepard's huge freshman season came despite having almost no preseason practice. Shepard had her senior season of high school cut short by an ACL tear in late-december of Her recovery and rehabilitation stretched to the week prior to Nebraska's exhibition opener with Nebraska- Kearney. Despite just four full days of fullcourt practice, Shepard produced 29 points and 12 rebounds in just 17 minutes on the court at Pinnacle Bank Arena. That effort was a sign of things to come. A week later, in an exhibition game against a nationally ranked NCAA Division II opponent from Winona State, Shepard exploded for 42 points and 12 rebounds in 25 minutes. Shepard went 16-for-19 from the field and 10-for-10 at the free throw line against the Warriors, who featured 6-3 center Kayla Timmerman who had previously battled for the starting job at Iowa. In her regular-season debut, Shepard pumped in 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to produce the most points, most rebounds and first doubledouble by a freshman in a season opener in school history. Shepard helped the Huskers roll to a 50-point win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff. With Shepard leading the charge on the front line, Nebraska rolled to a 4-0 record to start the season before facing a serious road test at No. 1 and three-time defending NCAA champion UConn on Nov. 28. Shepard finished with 10 points and five rebounds against the eventual national champions and reached the 100-point scoring mark in the fifth game of her career - the fastest of any Husker in history. However, the Huskers fell to the Huskies in Hartford for their first loss of the season. Nebraska returned home and responded with an impressive win over NC State on Dec. 3. Three days later, Nebraska produced the biggest comeback of the Connie Yori-coaching era with a win over Creighton. After trailing by 21 points late in the second quarter, the Huskers were led back by 19 points from Shepard and 17 points from senior point guard Rachel Theriot. Theriot, the 2014 Big Ten Tournament MVP, had also been hindered by injury prior to the start of the season. Offseason ankle surgery kept her off the court for most of the summer, including Nebraska's August 2015 adventure to Australia. Nebraska improved to 7-1 with an trouncing of Evansville on Dec. 8, which included the first double-double of junior center Allie Havers' career. Havers produced 14 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, while freshman starting Jessica Shepard became the first Husker to win Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year honors, while adding first-team All-Big Ten accolades in Shepard also became the first Husker in history to produce a 30-point, 20-rebound game, which came with 35 points and 20 rebounds in a win at Michigan on Jan. 24, forward Rachel Blackburn added 14 points and six rebounds. While Shepard grabbed the early headlines for the Huskers in , Blackburn performed at an exceptional level for a Nebraska freshman. Through eight games, Blackburn was averaging 6.1 points and 8.1 rebounds for the Big Red. Senior transfer Kyndal Clark also broke out against Evansville. The 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year at Drake pumped in 17 points and hit five three-pointers against the Purple Aces. Clark, who missed nearly her entire fourth season at Drake with a season-ending knee injury suffered late in the second half of the Bulldogs' season opener in , started the first 22 games of her Husker career and provided a steady hand in the Nebraska backcourt. Nebraska's early season starting five was completed by guard Natalie Romeo. The sophomore from Martinez, Calif., scored a Husker season-opening record 30 points off the bench in the win over UAPB. She started all but the season's first game (illness) and averaged 14.8 points per contest through Nebraska's 7-1 start. The Huskers took their solid 7-1 record on the road to No. 22 California on Dec. 12 to face eventual national freshman of the year Kristine Anigwe and the Bears. Despite being shackled with foul trouble up and down the lineup, the Huskers took Cal to overtime before falling However, that game was more than a loss. It was the last game that Blackburn started for more than two months as she began to deal with extreme knee pain that would limit her the rest of the season in practice and games. By mid-december, Blackburn wasn't the only Husker hurting. Theriot's ankle began keeping her out of drills, while Clark's knees were also limiting her. The Huskers were also dealing with a significant non-basketball injury to freshman Maddie Simon. The 6-2 guard from Lincoln who was the 2015 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, suffered a broken arm in a fall the day after the win over Creighton. The injury knocked her out of action for a month and limited her improvement until late in the season. At times, Nebraska struggled to find five healthy bodies to put on the court at practice. But at 7-2, the Huskers returned home to face Northern Arizona and Shepard continued to shine. She erupted for a Pinnacle Bank Arena regularseason women's basketball record 35 points on 12-of-16 shooting. The effort was also a Nebraska freshman scoring record, breaking the previous mark of 34 points set by Debra Powell against Notre Dame on Feb. 25, Theriot added 23 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while fellow senior Anya Kalenta produced a strong game with seven points, three blocks and a career-high 14 rebounds off the bench. Shepard added eight rebounds and a careerhigh four steals against the Lumberjacks. Nebraska wrapped up non-conference play at 9-2 after a solid win over a strong and experienced Arkansas State team on Dec. 21. Shepard notched her fourth double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Clark (22), Romeo (20) and Theriot (13) combined for 55 points in the backcourt to lead the Big Red. After a much-needed 10-day break from competition, the Huskers returned to action against the Iowa Hawkeyes on New Year's Eve at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nearly 7,500 fans were on hand to watch Shepard pour in 28 points in her INTRODUCTION. THIS IS NEBRASKA. ADMINISTRATION. COACHES. MEET THE HUSKERS. OPPONENTS. REVIEW. RECORDS. TRADITION

105 #HUSKERS Shepard Named Big Ten Freshman of the Year Big Ten debut, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Hawkeyes from escaping with a win. Four days later, the Huskers suffered a disappointing setback at a talented and experienced No. 14 Northwestern team, despite another double-double from Shepard. The Big Red continued to slide with an loss at No. 8 Maryland on Jan. 7. The Huskers did get a lift from the early return of Simon from her arm injury. She scored nine points off the bench alongside Jasmine Cincore and Havers to match for team-high scoring honors against the Terps. At 0-3 in the Big Ten, the Huskers were desperate to get into the win column in the conference. Shepard stepped up in a big way with 29 points and 19 rebounds in a over Illinois on Jan. 10. The performance against the Fighting Illini sparked a six-game Big Ten winning streak for the Big Red that included one of the most productive individual stretches in school history from Shepard. In an win at Penn State on Jan. 13, Shepard powered her way to 29 points and 10 rebounds against the Lady Lions. She hit 10-of-12 shots from the floor and 9-of-10 free throws to will the Huskers to victory despite the absence of Theriot from the starting lineup. Romeo also stepped up with Theriot missing from the backcourt, pouring in 32 points including a school-record eight three-pointers. Shepard added 22 points and eight boards in a win over Rutgers in Lincoln on Jan. 16, before going for 22 more points and six rebounds in a road win at then-big Ten co-leader Purdue on Jan. 20, in West Lafayette, Ind. Then Shepard produced another record-setting performance in a win at Michigan on Jan. 24. Shepard became the first Husker in history to produce 30 points and 20 rebounds in the same game, piling up 35 points and 20 boards against the Wolverines. Shepard hit 13-of-22 shots from the floor and pulled down a staggering 11 rebounds. She also dished out two assists and added two blocks. Clark played a key role in softening the inside for Shepard by hitting five threes early in the game, while Havers, a Michigan native, produced a huge game of her own with 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks from her center position. During the first five games of Nebraska's winning streak, Shepard averaged a massive 27.4 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. Wisconsin slowed Shepard in game six, holding her to eight points, seven rebounds and six assists, but Havers and Romeo benefitted from the attention to Shepard. Havers notched her second double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds, while Romeo tied her own school record by burying 8-of-14 threes to finish with 30 points for the third time in The win over Wisconsin pushed Nebraska to 15-5 overall and 6-3 in the Big Ten at the halfway point of conference play. The Huskers faded down the stretch in a loss at Rutgers to end January, despite 23 points from Shepard. Another 20-point effort from Shepard and the only double-double of Kalenta's career with 14 points and 11 rebounds helped the Huskers to an win over Penn State on Feb. 2 in Lincoln. Theriot also produced an impressive performance against the Lady Lions with nine points and 14 assists. Nebraska fell to an Indiana team in Bloomington that would eventually advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, before running into a 32-point performance from firstteam All-American Rachel Banham in a loss at Minnesota on Feb. 11. Shepard was solid offensively at Minnesota, producing 22 points, eight rebounds and no turnovers, but it wasn't enough to overcome the hot-shooting Gophers. At 7-6 in the Big Ten, the Huskers returned home to Pinnacle Bank Arena on Valentine's Day for their annual Play4Kay game. The showdown with No. 17 Michigan State was played in front of a season-high 8,338 fans, and the Huskers sent them home happy with a victory. Shepard produced 26 points and six rebounds, while Romeo added 25 points. Theriot added 12 assists in her final appearance on the Pinnacle Bank Arena court of her career. At 17-8 and 8-6 in the Big Ten, the Huskers headed to No. 5 Ohio State hoping for an upset to improve their NCAA Tournament chances. It wasn't to be. Clark's knees had reached their limit, while Theriot's ankle did the same. The two senior guards combined for just 38 minutes in a loss to the Buckeyes. Shepard managed 20 points and eight rebounds at OSU, but it was the final appearance of the season for Theriot and Clark. The seniors were declared out for the season less than 24 hours prior to Nebraska's tip-off against Purdue on Feb. 21. Shepard, who was also beginning to succumb to foot pain, entered that contest averaging 20.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Without Clark and Theriot spreading the floor, Shepard went scoreless in a home loss to a Boilermaker bunch that advanced to the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Shepard rebounded with 16 points and 11 boards for her Nebraska freshman-record 10th double-double of the season, while Jasmine Cincore added a career-high 16 points as a starter in a loss to Indiana on Feb. 24. The loss knocked Nebraska off the NCAA Tournament bubble. Despite the challenges, Nebraska closed the regular season with an impressive win over Northwestern at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Feb. 28. Havers notched a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Romeo added just the second triple-double in school history with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Simon added a big game with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Kalenta and Cincore rounded out a starting lineup that featured four different players than Nebraska's season-opening win on Nov. 14. At the Big Ten Tournament, Havers produced another double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Romeo pumped in 23 points on seven threes, but the Huskers fell to Rutgers. The Huskers ended their season with a loss to Northern Iowa in the Postseason WNIT at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Romeo led Nebraska with 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists in her final game as a Husker. She closed her sophomore season as a secondteam All-Big Ten selection after setting Nebraska's single-season three-point record with 104. As a senior, Theriot ranked No. 2 nationally with 7.3 assists per game. She finished with 10.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while leading the Big Ten in assists per game. She earned honorablemention All-Big Ten accolades for her third career all-conference honor. Theriot ended her career ranked No. 3 in NU history with 626 assists, while ranking 16th with 1,288 points, despite missing a total of 17 games during her final two seasons because of injury. After 14 seasons as Nebraska's head coach, Connie Yori resigned on April 5, Less than a week later, the Huskers were introduced to a new head coach with a long connection to Nebraska, as former Husker guard Amy Williams was named the 10th head coach in NU women's basketball history. Williams (Gusso), who was a four-year letterwinner for the Huskers from 1995 to 1998, earned back-to-back Summit League Coach-ofthe-Year honors in 2015 and 2016 at South Dakota. Her 2016 Coyotes won the Summit League regularseason title and finished with a 32-6 overall record as the 2016 WNIT champions. Maddie Simon emerged as a key backcourt player late in the season for the Huskers. The 2015 Nebraska High School Player of the Year made several starts late in the season, including a 16-point, seven-rebound performance in Nebraska's win over Northwestern in the regular-season finale at Pinnacle Bank Arena. 103 FIVE CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES

176 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Huskers Enter New Era with Williams By Mike Babcock & Jeff Griesch "This team of Huskers likes to practice. And they say practice makes perfect. And now they are. Perfect regular season! Perfect regular season! Nebraska finishes the regular season perfect !" As those words boomed from the voice of Husker playby-play announcer Matt Coatney, the Huskers completed the first unbeaten regular season by a Big 12 men's or women's basketball team in history in Nebraska's win came with more than 2,000 Big Red fans on hand at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan., on a day that All-American Kelsey Griffin erupted for a career-high 36 points on 15-of-19 shooting from the field in an win over the Wildcats on March 6, For Griffin and the Huskers, it was another step in a history-making season that left the Nebraska record book in turmoil and the Husker Nation in a fan frenzy. The win over Kansas State also capped a perfect 16-0 conference campaign that gave the Huskers their first-ever Big 12 crown. Nebraska clinched that title at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla., as the No. 3 Huskers ran past No. 11 and defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma, on Feb. 24. Griffin, the 2010 Big 12 Player of the Year, dominated the Sooners as well, pouring in 30 points while pulling down 13 rebounds, as NU improved to 13-0 in league play. Nebraska returned home to power past Missouri, 67-51, as Griffin led the Huskers with 19 points and career highs of 17 rebounds and five blocked shots. Following the game, the first-ever sellout crowd of 13,595 fans at the Devaney Center stayed to witness the presentation of the Big 12 regular-season trophy and a net-cutting ceremony on the Huskers' homecourt. After the ceremony, Griffin and the Huskers signed autographs for nearly 1,000 fans until almost midnight in the hallway near the locker room. "We were sorry to keep them waiting so long, and we just couldn't stop signing," Griffin said. "Our fans have been awesome and it was an amazing night. We wanted to celebrate with them and send them home happy." Griffin and the 2010 Huskers sent the fans home happy one more time on Senior Night with a win over Kansas to complete a perfect 16-0 home campaign. Griffin and fellow first-team All-Big 12 selections Cory Montgomery and Yvonne Turner, along with seniors Kala Kuhlmann, Nicole Neals and Nikki Bober were honored as the largest and most successful senior class in school history. More than 12,000 fans were on hand for their finale, the seventh consecutive crowd exceeding 10,000 to end the season - matching the total number of crowds of greater than 10,000 in the previous 35 seasons of Nebraska women's basketball. The Huskers stretched their school-record winning streak to 30 games before falling in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals to No. 11 Texas A&M. At 30-1, the Huskers earned the first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in school history, before beating Northern Iowa and UCLA at Williams Arena in Minneapolis to advance to the program's first NCAA Sweet 16. Nebraska's breakthrough 32-2 season ended with a loss to No. 19 Kentucky at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. But the loss did not define the 2010 Huskers or their impact on Nebraska women's basketball. In the locker room in the moments following the loss, Coach Connie Yori focused on the history and memories her team made. "In the years to come when we look back on this year, we are going to remember everything that we accomplished," Yori said. "But you all know I've said this all along, when you look back on your time at Nebraska, you won't remember the wins and losses. You are going to remember all the great times you had with your teammates on and off the court." Nebraska's focus on team chemistry, love and respect for one another, character, effort and mental toughness, allowed the Huskers to succeed at the highest levels of any team in school history. Amy Williams was named Nebraska's 10th women's basketball coach on April 11, A four-year letterwinner at Nebraska (Amy Gusso, ), Williams won Summit League Coach-of-the-Year honors at South Dakota in 2015 and Nebraska's first winner of the Senior CLASS Award in any sport, Griffin produced one of the best senior seasons in school history by averaging 20.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. She led an unprecedented hardware haul by Husker players by being named a firstteam All-American by the WBCA, AP, USBWA and the Wooden Award. A Wade and Naismith Trophy and Wooden Award finalist, Griffin was a three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection. She was joined by Montgomery and Turner on the first team, while Dominique Kelley earned honorablemention accolades and Lindsey Moore was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Griffin and Turner were both named to the league's five-player All-Defensive Team, while Turner was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. The Huskers continued to make history after the season ended, as Griffin was chosen as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Selected by the Minnesota Lynx and then traded to the Connecticut Sun, Griffin became the highest Husker draft pick in history. A little more than one hour later, Montgomery joined Griffin as the first pick of the third round with the No. 25 overall pick to the New York Liberty. "It was truly a special season - a season that we will all remember for the rest of our lives," Yori said. "This was the hardest working team and the best practicing team I have ever coached, and the results were obvious. This team deserved every win and every award it received." Yori was named the WBCA, AP, USBWA, Naismith and Kay Yow National Coach of the Year. She also earned Big 12 Coach of the Year honors. She added Big Ten Coach-ofthe-Year honors in 2013 and In 2014, Nebraska captured its first-ever conference tournament title by winning the Big Ten crown at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Jordan Hooper, who replaced Griffin in Nebraska's starting lineup, earned Big Ten Player-of-the-Year honors and first-team WBCA All- America accolades - just like her predecessor. Hooper, a 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., tied Griffin's school record with 40 double-doubles and was named a first-team Senior CLASS All-American. A tremendous outside shooter, Hooper also smashed NU's three-point record with 295 in her career. She averaged 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game to lead the Huskers to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In 2013, Hooper helped the Big Red to their second NCAA Sweet 16, after leading NU to an NCAA Tournament bid in In her final three seasons, Hooper's Husker teams averaged 25 wins per season, the best three-year stretch in Nebraska history. Hooper went on to be the No. 13 overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. Hooper's selection, which followed Lindsey Moore's No. 12 pick by the 2013 WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx, gave the Huskers three top-15 WNBA picks and six All-America awards claimed by the Huskers since Like the 2010 team, the 2014 Huskers featured All-Big Ten players from top-to-bottom in their starting five. Rachel Theriot earned honorable-mention All-America accolades after being named the Big Ten Tournament MVP and a firstteam All-Big Ten choice. Emily Cady and Tear'a Laudermill added second-team All-Big Ten awards, while Hailie Sample claimed a spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team. Although the Huskers lost Hooper to graduation and Theriot to injury 21 games into the campaign, Nebraska's senior class of Cady, Laudermill, Sample and Brandi Jeffery continued the Huskers' NCAA Tournament tradition. The four seniors became the most successful class in history by becoming the first group of Huskers to advance to four consecutive NCAA tournaments. They also became the first class to produce four straight 20- win seasons on their way to a four-year program record 96 wins. In , Yori's 14 seasons at Nebraska came to an end with an record that included a trip to the Postseason WNIT. She finished as the winningest coach in Nebraska women's basketball history with 280 victories, averaging 20 wins per season. Yori had come to Nebraska on June 24, She took over following back-to-back losing seasons under Coach Paul Sanderford, and struggled to an 8-20 mark with only a handful of scholarship players in In her second season, Nebraska improved to overall and made its first of seven straight postseason tournament appearances. The Huskers added a postseason trip in , despite featuring four first-time starters. Sophomore Kiera Hardy earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, while Jelena Spiric claimed Big 12 Newcomer-of-the-Year accolades. NU was also back in the top 25 in the national attendance rankings, averaging more than 4,000 fans per game. The Huskers also produced the biggest win in school history with a triple overtime victory over eventual national champion Baylor at Devaney on Jan. 12.

177 #HUSKERS Big Red Build Title Tradition in Big Ten in , again featuring Hardy as a first-team All-Big 12 guard, while adding Big 12 All-Freshman selection Kelsey Griffin at forward. Hardy and Griffin helped the Huskers to a mark in , but still came up a win or two short of their goal of getting Nebraska back to the Big Dance. That mission was accomplished in 2007, as Hardy earned first-team All-Big 12 honors for the third straight season while shattering NU's career three-point record. Griffin joined Hardy with first-team All-Big 12 accolades, and the Huskers finished with a overall record and a trip to the 2007 NCAA Tournament in Raleigh, N.C. The Huskers fell in the first round to Temple, but it set up a repeat trip to the Big Dance in This time around, the Huskers, again led by first-team All-Big 12 forward Griffin, knocked off Xavier in the first round. After picking up just the third NCAA Tournament win in school history, the Huskers battled top-seeded Maryland down to the wire on the Terps' homecourt. Griffin was the only returning starter on the 2008 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 with high hopes, but those aspirations were 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 mark and a 6-10 Big 12 record to secure a seventh straight postseason trip. Griffin, Turner, Montgomery and Kelley all returned to the starting lineup in , and added Moore, the 2009 Washington High School Player of the Year at the point guard spot. The starting five, along with experienced senior reserves Kala Kuhlmann and Nicole Neals, and juniors Catheryn Redmon and Jessica Periago gave the Huskers the talent and depth to contend on the national level. After injuries and graduation left the Huskers shorthanded in , a young Nebraska squad began a new building process in In the Huskers' first-ever Big Ten Conference season, a roster that featured six freshmen among just 10 active players rolled to the fourth-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. 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 honorable-mention All- America honors from the AP and the WBCA. A candidate for the Wade and Naismith National Player-of-the-Year awards, Hooper was joined on the Naismith watch list by 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. Cady earned a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman team after producing one of the best rookie seasons in school history. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., joined Sample in becoming the first freshmen in school history to start every game together during their rookie seasons. All-American Kelsey Griffin earned Big 12 Player-of-the-Year honors while leading the Huskers to 30 straight wins and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Griffin had her Nebraska jersey retired on Jan. 29, The duo went on to join Hooper in the starting five for 100 consecutive games in Nebraska's first three seasons of Big Ten play. That trio, along with Nebraska's career assist leader and 2013 honorable-mention All-American Moore, fueled the Huskers to their second NCAA Sweet 16. NU's four returning starters were joined by another Big Ten All-Freshman selection, Rachel Theriot, in powering the Huskers to a 25-9 record and a 12-4 Big Ten mark. The Huskers played for a share of the Big Ten regularseason title in the final home game at the Devaney Center. Although they came up short, the Huskers went on to defeat Chattanooga, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at College Station, Texas. Two nights later, the sixth-seeded Huskers pulled one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, knocking off SEC Tournament champion and No. 9 ranked Texas A&M, 74-63, on the Aggies' homecourt at Reed Arena. Moore closed her amazing career with her fifth doubledouble, producing 20 points and 10 assists. Sample made a triumphant return to her home state with 10 points and 11 rebounds to add her first career double-double. Moore, who led NU to three NCAA tournaments including a pair of Sweet 16 bids, started more games (132) and played more minutes (4,360) than any player in school history. She also set the school record with 699 career assists, while adding 1,673 points. Hooper was the lone senior on NU's squad, but she was joined by juniors Cady, Sample and Laudermill, and sophomore honorable-mention All-America point guard Theriot in the starting five. The 2014 Huskers finished with a 26-7 overall record for the second-best winning percentage in school history, while adding a 12-4 Big Ten mark. NU played for a share of the Big Ten regular-season title again on the final day of the season, but came up short at Purdue. After having a nine-game conference winning streak snapped in West Lafayette, the Huskers rallied for three straight convincing wins over Minnesota, No. 19 Michigan State and No. 23 Iowa at the Big Ten Tournament. After earning their first-ever NCAA Tournament automatic bid, the Huskers claimed a No. 4 seed and defeated Fresno State, 74-55, at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. NU moved one game away from a chance to compete as a host in the NCAA Sweet 16 in its new Pinnacle Bank Arena, but came up short in an loss to BYU. The Cougars joined 2014 NCAA champion Connecticut, Texas A&M and DePaul for the NCAA Lincoln Regional in the first NCAA Tournament basketball games in Lincoln since Nearly 17,000 fans watched the three games in Lincoln, leading UConn Coach Geno Auriemma to acknowledge and praise the rise of women's basketball at Nebraska. "Everybody's heard about the crowds here, the facilities here. Everything that's going on here. Every day's been great. The people are phenomenal. The building is spectacular. This is really, really, really nice. There's no doubt in my mind there will be another regional here, no question. Most places are fans of their team, not necessarily fans of the game. Here I think they take tremendous pride in their team, their school and the community, and they showed it." The move into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln brought even more excitement to Husker basketball. The $179 million arena held a schoolrecord-tying 16 home wins in , along with the 11th-highest average home attendance (6,161) in NCAA women's basketball. Nebraska's total attendance of more 175 SIX ALL-AMERICA AWARDS SINCE 2010

178 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Huskers Build Postseason Tradition than 110,000 ranked eighth nationally and was the secondbest total in school history, trailing only the 2010 season. The Big Red attracted more than 6,000 fans per game to Pinnacle Bank Arena again in , and have ranked among the top 10 nationally in total attendance in each of the Huskers' first three seasons in the new building. The current atmosphere is a far cry from its humble beginnings on the UNL campus. 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 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 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 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, ,'' 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 Karen Jennings earned the 1993 Wade Trophy and was Nebraska's first first-team All-American. Also a tremendous student, Jennings was a 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 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 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., The University second team also played that day, defeating Baker University, 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 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, 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 In , 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 A typical audience might be 30, mostly friends and relatives of the players. The modern era of women's basketball at Nebraska more accurately dates from 1975, with the arrival of Aleen Swofford as women's athletic director and the offering of scholarships. The total budget for women's athletics was less than $40,000. George Nicodemus, an Iowa native who had directed John F. Kennedy College in Wahoo, Neb., to a pair of AAU women's national titles, succeeded Callahan as volunteer coach of NU's fledgling program in With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot- 11, 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 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.

179 #HUSKERS All-Americans Call Nebraska Home "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 and finished second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a loss at Nebraska-Omaha 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. He passed away on Sept. 3, 2016, at the age of 92. Davis hired Marcia Walker, who had spent two years at Dakota Wesleyan. Walker announced she would resign with about a third of a 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 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 career-scorers Jan Crouch, Diane DelVigna, Janet Smith, Kathy Hagerstrom, Cathy Owen, Debra Powell, Stacy Imming and Angie Miller. Powell finished her four-year career in with 1,843 points. 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 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. 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 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 career points at Nebraska. She reached that total, appropriately enough, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on "Maurtice Ivy Night'' in February of 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 left for point No. 2,001. That point also secured what would be a 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 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. Jordan Hooper earned first-team WBCA All- America honors after being named the 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year. Hooper was a starter on the USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team that won gold in Russia in 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 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 , 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 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 Jennings distinguished herself in the classroom as well. She was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American. 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 Jennings continued to thrive following her tremendous athletic and academic accomplishments at Nebraska. After a successful career as a physical therapist, 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 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, fewer than 200 student-athletes all-time, across all-sports have been honored with Hall of Fame induction. She also was selected to the inaugural class of the University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame in Beck, who added a freshman walk-on from Spearfish, S.D., named Amy Gusso to her roster, coached Nebraska to the 1996 NCAA Tournament before leaving for the fledgling (and now defunct) American Basketball League after the season. Beck 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. The squad led by Anna DeForge included fellow senior Gusso and tied then-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. In , the Nicole Kubik-led Huskers finished and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, losing to Kentucky In , 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. 7 all-time scorer while ranking in the top 20 in NCAA Division I history with 418 career steals. Kubik joined fellow seniors Brooke Schwartz and Charlie Rogers in becoming the first Nebraska natives from the same recruiting class to all score 1,000 points. Keeping the best of Nebraska's players at home has continued. 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 was the 2008 and 2010 Nebraska High School Player of the Year, and finished her Husker career No. 2 in points (2,357) and rebounds (1,110). Emily Cady became the 13th native Nebraskan in NU's 1,000-point club and closed her outstanding four-year career with 1,461 points, 1,114 rebounds and 305 assists as one of the most versatile players in school history. The Huskers added two more Nebraska High School Players of the Year to their roster in , with Jessica Shepard (2013, 2014) and Maddie Simon (2015) joining the Big Red. Shepard made history by claiming Nebraska's first Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year Award while also becoming the first Husker freshman in history to claim first-team allconference honors. Shepard shattered Nebraska freshman records by averaging 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
