Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 4 Jan. 19, 2005 Huskers.com Husker Comeback Falls Short at No. 23 Kansas State The Huskers trailed by as many as 23 points in the first half, but fought back to cut the Kansas State lead to single digits with just over four minutes to play before succumbing to the No. 23 Wildcats, at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan on Saturday afternoon. In a game that featured the top two scorers in the Big 12 Conference, Kiera Hardy dominated the second half and finished with a game-high 29 points, including 23 after halftime. Hardy opened the second half by hitting four consecutive three-pointers and finished with five three-pointers to help pull Nebraska within nine points late in the game. The 5-6 sophomore guard from Kansas City, Mo., who has hit 11 three-pointers in her last two games, moved into a tie for ninth on the Husker career three-point chart with 67 in just 43 career games. Hardy out-gunned Preseason Big 12 Player-of-the-Year Kendra Wecker, who finished with 25 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. But Wecker powered the Wildcats to the early lead by scoring nine straight points in a three-minute span to turn a 10-2 KSU lead into a 19-4 edge with 11:50 to play in the first half. Wecker finished the first half with 17 points, while hitting 7-of-11 shots from the field. Kansas State s lead grew to 23 points at 35-12, before Nebraska gained some momentum to close the half by scoring the final four points, including Hardy s tip in at the buzzer to narrow the gap to at the half. Hardy came out firing in the second half, knocking down four three-pointers in the first four minutes to energize the Huskers. Unfortunately, KSU actually expanded its lead to 21 points during Hardy s three-point barrage, but Nebraska kept fighting. NU trimmed the lead to 15 points at with 10:52 left on a Hardy layup. The Huskers knocked the lead down to nine points on Danielle Page s baseline jumper with 4:23 left, but could get no closer than the rest of the way. For the game, Nebraska shot 37.9 percent from the field, including just 22.7 percent (5-22) from three-point range, with Hardy hitting all five three-pointers for the Huskers. NU managed just 4-of-6 shooting from the free throw line after hitting a school-record 46-of-54 free throws in the triple overtime win over No. 2 Baylor on Wednesday night in Lincoln. Kansas State shot 45.8 percent from the field, including 31.3 percent (5-16) from three-point range. The Wildcats also knocked down 75 percent (15-20) of their free throws. KSU outrebounded NU, 42-34, and forced 15 Husker turnovers, including 11 in the first half. Jelena Spiric was the only Husker other than Hardy to score in double figures, as the 6-0 forward finished with 10 points and five rebounds in another solid effort. Jina Johansen provided a solid effort for the Huskers by scoring six points and tying her career high with nine assists. Elena Diaz added six points, while setting her career high with eight rebounds.

5 Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 5 Jan. 19, 2005 Huskers.com Husker O Opens Big 12 Play on a Roll The Nebraska offense fired on all cylinders in its first three Big 12 Conference contests of the season. As a team, the Huskers averaged 89.3 points per game in wins over Colorado, Missouri and No. 2 Baylor, before sputtering at No. 23 Kansas State on Saturday. Despite a 59-point outing at Kansas State, Nebraska still leads the Big 12 with 81.8 points per game, just ahead of Texas Tech s 78.0 points per contest through four league games. The Huskers and Lady Raiders also rank first and second in the Big 12 in three-point shooting, as Texas Tech leads the league by hitting 42.0 percent (21-50) of its long-range attempts in conference play. Nebraska has knocked down 40.6 percent (26-64) of its three-point attempts through four league games to rank second. Kiera Hardy s 27.8 points per game leads the Big 12, while her 3.5 three-pointers per game lead the league in conference games only. Hardy s 15-of-17 shooting from the free throw line (88.2 percent) ranks seventh in the Big 12. Jelena Spiric ranks second among the Huskers and 13th in the Big 12 with 13.8 points per game and second on the team and 13th in the conference with 6.5 rebounds per game. Jina Johansen has given the Huskers a potent scoring threat in league games by averaging 10.8 points per game, which is tied for 24th in the Big 12, while leading the league in assists with 8.0 per contest. Johansen is shooting a team-leading 54.5 percent in Big 12 play, which is tied for seventh in the conference, including 57.1 percent (4-7) from three-point range to rank fourth in the league. Johansen has also knocked down 15-of-16 free throws in conference play, which ranks as the third-highest percentage in the league. Huskers Win Five Straight with 80-Point Efforts Nebraska had scored 80 or more points in five consecutive games before having that streak snapped on Saturday at Kansas State. The Huskers have produced 80-plus scoring performances seven times this season. In Coach Connie Yori s first two seasons in Lincoln, the Huskers scored 80 points in just three of 58 games. The last time Nebraska scored 80 points in five straight games came in (Games 2-6). Although NU s numbers during that five-game stretch rank among the best offensive stretches in school history, perhaps the most impressive statistic is that the Huskers success came against a group of opponents that included four teams (Baylor, Colorado, Missouri, Memphis) that advanced to postseason play in 2004, including three NCAA Tournament qualifiers (Baylor, Colorado, Missouri). The Huskers 103-point scoring effort in three overtimes against No. 2 Baylor tied for the 15th highest singlegame total in school history and the most points scored by NU against a conference team since scoring 103 points in a overtime loss to Kansas State on Jan. 18, Nebraska started its offensive surge after scoring just 57 points in a loss at Creighton on Dec. 18. Two days later (Dec. 20), the Huskers rolled to an win over Louisiana-Lafayette in Lincoln. NU improved on that output with an victory over Memphis on Dec. 30, before an impressive win over Colorado to open Big 12 play on Jan. 5. NU added an win over Missouri on Jan. 8, before hitting the century mark against the Bears. At least four Huskers produced double figures in all five of those games, including a season-high five players in the win over Louisiana-Lafayette. In the win over Memphis, four Huskers scored in double figures, while 10 of the 11 Huskers who played scored four or more points. Nebraska added four more players in double figures in the win over Colorado, while all 10 Huskers who played in the game found the scoring column. In the win over Missouri, Hardy scored 23 points, while Spiric added a thencareer-high 18 points. Johansen added a season-high 14 points, while tying her season high with eight assists, and Gerhart contributed the first double-double of her career with 17 points and 11 rebounds. In NU s win over Baylor, Hardy erupted for a career-high 37 points, while Spiric notched career scoring and rebounding highs for the third straight game with 19 points and nine rebounds. Elena Diaz tied her career best with 11 points and added a career-high seven rebounds, while Johansen pitched in 10 points and tied her season-high again with eight assists.

She opened the season with 28 points in a win over Western Illinois. Hardy has scored 20 or more points nine times this season, including eight of NU s last 11 games. In the Big 12 Conference, Hardy ranks as the highest-scoring sophomore in the league. Tiffany Jackson from Texas ranks second among conference sophomores with 16.2 points per game, while Texas Tech s Alesha Robertson has managed 16.0 points per contest. Hardy s 37 in Baylor Win Places Her Among NU Elite Kiera Hardy s career-high 37-point performance in Nebraska s win over No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12 in Lincoln placed her among an elite list of Huskers. Not only did Hardy s total tie for the seventh-highest single-game effort in school history, it also provided her with her second 30-point effort of the season. Her first 30-point performance came against Hampton in the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, on Nov. 27. The two 30-point outbursts during her breakout sophomore season place her among a select group of Huskers who accomplished multiple 30-point games as sophomores. The last NU sophomore to produce a pair of 30-point games was two-time All-American Karen Jennings, who did it in Debra Powell, who was an All-Big Eight performer on the court and an All-American sprinter on the track for the Huskers, was the first Husker sophomore to score 30 in a game on multiple occasions. Powell produced three 30-point games in Maurtice Ivy, who was the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1988 after leading the Huskers to their only conference title in school history, matched Powell s feat with a trio of 30-point performances as a sophomore in A year later, Amy Stephens added two 30-point efforts during her sophomore season in Hardy s 37 points is the highest single-game total among the elite group of NU sophomore scorers and ranks as the second-highest scoring performance in school history by a sophomore, trailing only a 41-point eruption by Crystal Coleman against Oklahoma State on Feb. 19, The performance was Coleman s only 30-point or more scoring game of her career, which ended at Nebraska after her sophomore season. Hardy is just the seventh player in Nebraska history to record two or more 30-point efforts in the same season, and one of just eight Huskers to score 30 twice in her career. The last player to score 30 points twice in the same season was Kubik, who had a trio of 30-point performances in Only 16 different Huskers in history have scored 30 or more points in a single game - a total of 54 times. Jennings owns the NU record with point scoring efforts in her career, including eight in Johansen Surging Down Stretch in Senior Season Nebraska s lone returning starter from a year ago, senior Jina Johansen has helped the Huskers elevate their play during their last six games. One of the smartest players in the Big 12 Conference, Johansen s decision-making has been outstanding over the past six contests. She is averaging 10.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game during that stretch, while hitting 20-of-34 shots from the field (58.8 percent). She has also hit 7-of-11 three-pointers (63.6 percent) and 15-of-16 (93.8 percent) of her free throw attempts. Even more impressively, she owns an assist-toturnover ratio of 3.75-to-1 (45-to-12), despite playing 38.5 minutes per game. On the season, the 5-7 guard from Dannebrog, Neb., leads the Huskers with 6.4 assists per game, while adding 6.9 points and 3.1 boards per contest. One of the top passers in Nebraska history, Johansen ranks third on the school career chart with 479 assists. She needs 87 more assists to catch Nicole Kubik ( ) in the No. 2 spot on the NU chart. She will need to average 6.7 assists per game over the next 13 contests. Johansen produced one of the best efforts in her career at Missouri. She scored all of her season-high 14 points in the second half, while dishing out eight assists. In NU s 26-6 run over the final 8:26 against the Tigers, Johansen hit all three of her attempts from the field, including a three-pointer and the game-tying layup with 2:17 to play. She added 10 points and eight more assists in Nebraska s triple-overtime win over No. 2 Baylor. In that game, Johansen never came off the floor while playing a Big 12 record 55 minutes. She is averaging 41.5 minutes played per game through four league games to lead the conference in court time. In Big 12 play, Johansen is averaging 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists. She has also directed NU to the highest scoring offense in the league during Big 12 play, as the Huskers are averaging 81.8 points per game and produced three straight 80-plus scoring efforts to open the league season. She posted the first victory of her career over Colorado by scoring 13 points, dishing out seven assists and grabbing five rebounds. She also notched two steals against the Buffs. She scored 10 points, tied for the teamhigh with seven rebounds and led the Huskers with six assists in the win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Dec. 20. She added nine points and seven assists in just 26 minutes against Memphis. Johansen scored just six points, but tied her career high with nine assists in the loss at Kansas State on Jan. 15. She distributed eight assists in NU s win over Tennessee-Martin, after scoring 10 points in the win over Southeastern Louisiana. She connected on 5-of-7 shots from the field, while dishing out six assists and pulling down four rebounds in a season-low 24 minutes against the Lady Lions. In the win over Washington State, Johansen scored nine points on a trio of three-pointers to go along with seven assists. She also helped shut down Cougar star Adriane Ferguson in the second half. Ferguson scored 19 points

7 Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 7 Jan. 19, 2005 Huskers.com and hit five three-pointers in the first half, before the Huskers switched Johansen to guard Ferguson. Johansen limited Ferguson to just five points in the second half, before Johansen butted heads with WSU guard Jessica Perry and had to leave the game for the final four minutes with a severely swollen left eye. Hardy Takes Over as Nebraska s Active Scoring Leader Although she has played just 16 games in her sophomore season and just 43 games with 15 starts in her college career, Kiera Hardy became Nebraska s active career scoring leader with her 29-point outburst at Creighton on Dec. 18. The 5-6 guard from Kansas City, Mo., has pushed her career total to 565 points including 318 points in 16 games this season and 247 points in 27 games as a true freshman last season. NU senior guard Jina Johansen was the Huskers active leader in career points with 413 points in 97 career games, including 72 starts, entering the Creighton game. Johansen now ranks second among active Huskers with 477 points in 104 career games. With 67 three-pointers in her career, Hardy is also Nebraska s active three-point leader, ahead of Johansen s 51 career three-pointers. Hardy is tied for ninth on NU s all-time top 10 list in that category, after knocking down a career-high six three-pointers in the win over No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12, and adding five three-pointers at No. 23 Kansas State on Jan. 15. With 37 three-pointers this season, Hardy already owns the third-highest total by a sophomore in school history and needs just 13 more to match Kate Galligan ( ) for the sophomore record of 50. Hardy needs just two more three-pointers to tie Galligan s total of 39 during her junior campaign for the 10th-best single-season total in school history. Hardy Sparks Trio of Husker Super Sophomores Nebraska s sophomore trio of Kiera Hardy, Jessica Gerhart and Chelsea Aubry have led the Huskers through the first 16 games this season. Hardy, a 5-6 guard from Kansas City, Mo., leads the Huskers with 19.9 points per game, while hitting a team-high 37 three-pointers on the year. She is also tied for second on the team with 20 steals, while tying for second on the team with 2.4 assists per game. Hardy struck for a career-high 37 points in NU s dramatic triple overtime victory over No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12. She added 31 points in a win over Hampton in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, on Nov. 27, to earn her a spot on the Paradise Jam All-Tournament team. Hardy has led the Huskers in scoring in 10 of the last 12 games, including 29-point outbursts at Creighton on Dec. 18 and No. 23 Kansas State on Jan. 15. She added a 22-point effort in the loss at No. 10 Ohio State on Dec. 11, a 23-point effort in the win at Missouri, a 22-point performance in the win over Colorado on Jan. 5, and 20 points in the win over Tennessee-Martin. She produced the first of nine 20-point scoring efforts this season with a then-career-high 28 points in the season-opening victory over Western Illinois on Nov. 12. Hardy s 37 points against Baylor marked the second-highest scoring total by a sophomore in school history, trailing only Crystal Coleman s 41 points against Oklahoma State on Feb. 19, Hardy s 31-point effort against Hampton was the first 30-point scoring performance by a Husker since the season and the most points scored by an NU player since Nicole Kubik struck for 32 points against Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament on March 8, Nebraska s top returning scorer from a year ago when she averaged 9.1 points per game, Hardy averaged 19 points per game in the Huskers Postseason WNIT games to close the season. Hardy also led the Huskers last season with 30 three-pointers (tied Jina Johansen) and 45 steals. Gerhart Leading the Huskers on the Glass One of three leaders of Nebraska s solid sophomore class, Jessica Gerhart has produced strong efforts through the first 16 games to tip off her second season. The 6-2 forward from Fenton, Iowa, leads the Huskers boardwork with 6.7 rebounds per contest, which ranks 13th in the Big 12. Gerhart has led the Huskers on the glass in nine of 16 games this season, including seven of the last 10 contests. Along with leading the Huskers with 107 rebounds, a total that has more than doubled the 52 boards she grabbed in all 30 games last season, Gerhart ranks second on the team with 12.1 points per game, which ranks 19th in the conference. Gerhart s nine blocked shots are tied for second on the squad. Gerhart produced her first career double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Missouri on Jan. 8. Gerhart hit for a career-high 20 points in the Huskers victory over Northern Colorado at the Devaney Center on Nov. 19, and followed that effort the next time out with a team-high 19 points in a win over Washington State on Nov. 22. She also led the Huskers with 16 points in NU s win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Dec. 20, and 13 points in the Huskers rout of Memphis on Dec. 30. She added 16 more points in NU s win over Colorado Jan. 5. Gerhart has far surpassed her production from all of last season in half the games. Through 16 contests, Gerhart has scored 194 points, 103 more than the 91 points she scored last season. She has also hit 14 three-pointers this season, after going without a made three-pointer last season. Gerhart hit the first three three-pointers of her career and finished with 13 points in the second-round Preseason WNIT loss at No. 10 Notre Dame.

Aubry missed NU s first three Big 12 games, but came off the bench to play nine minutes at Kansas State on Jan. 15. Aubry has joined fellow sophomores Kiera Hardy and Jessica Gerhart in a trio of talented second-year players. A 6-2 forward from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Aubry ranks third on the team in scoring and second on the club in rebounding with 9.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest. She is also one of Nebraska s best interior defenders and leads the Huskers in the number of charges drawn this season. She was averaging 10.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game with starts in each of NU s first 12 games before the injury. Along with providing the Huskers with a solid interior presence, Aubry has shown her versatility by moving to the wing in her last six games. She is shooting 48.4 percent from the field, which ranks second among the Huskers regular starters, while connecting on a 37.5 percent (6-16) of her three-point attempts. Aubry put her versatility on display in Nebraska s win over Southeastern Louisiana on Dec. 1, by just missing her first career double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds against the Lady Lions. In the Huskers home win over Washington State on Nov. 22, Aubry tied her career high with 16 points for the third time this season and powered a strong second-half effort against the Cougars. With the Huskers leading by one point at halftime, Aubry charged out of the locker room to score NU s first seven points of the second half. She also pulled down all seven of her rebounds after halftime to help erase WSU s 14-rebound edge in the first half. Aubry opened the season with a career-high 16 points to go along with six rebounds in a win over Western Illinois in the first round of the Preseason WNIT in Lincoln on Nov. 12. She matched her career high with an even more impressive effort with 16 points and four boards in the loss at No. 10 Notre Dame on Nov. 14. Aubry was one of Nebraska s top players off the bench during her true freshman campaign, averaging 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest. She played in all 30 games last season and averaged 18.4 minutes of action per contest off the bench. Nebraska s first-ever Canadian women s basketball player, Aubry gained international experience this summer by playing with the Canadian Senior National Team. One of the top junior players in Canada, Aubry spent 2003 with the Canadian Under-20 National Team and represented her home country at the World University Games.

Johansen has committed just 31 turnovers against her 103 assists and has been even better in her decisionmaking during Nebraska s last six games. Johansen has dished out 45 assists and committed just 12 turnovers in the last six games, including a career-high nine assist effort at Kansas State and an eight-assist performance at Missouri when she played the full 40 minutes without turning the ball over. She added eight more assists while playing a school and Big 12 record 55 minutes in Nebraska s triple overtime victory over No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12.

11 Nebraska Women s Basketball Game Notes Page 11 Jan. 19, 2005 Huskers.com Samardziska Shows Impressive Production After making a splash with a career-high 19 points in Nebraska s win over Tennessee-Martin on Dec. 7, junior college transfer Bojana Samardziska has continued to produce off the bench for the Huskers. Her performance off the bench in recent weeks helped her earn her first start of the season at Missouri on Jan. 8, in place of injured NU forward Chelsea Aubry.

NU coaches had considered redshirting White this season as she made the transition from high school post player to college wing player, but injuries to Nebraska backcourt players Heather Kephart, LaToya Howell and Jelena Spiric forced White into action earlier than expected.

After the Huskers suffered through four consecutive losing seasons, Yori helped Nebraska turn the corner in by producing one of the nation s top turnarounds. The Huskers 10-game improvement tied for the ninth-best swing in NCAA Division I women s basketball in More impressively, NU s 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 was 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. Along with the success on the court, the Huskers also enjoyed a rejuvenation at the turnstiles, as attendance grew nearly 20 percent from the season. Nearly 450 more fans per game were in attendance at the Devaney Center last year, while 10,000 more total fans came to women s basketball games than a year earlier. The Huskers averaged nearly 3,100 fans per game in Although the Huskers struggled to an 8-20 overall record and a 1-15 Big 12 mark in , NU players accepted the principles of hard work and conditioning and showed major strides throughout the season. Despite carrying a roster of just five or six scholarship players in , NU returned five experienced starters for That group of five starters was a model of consistency, starting all 30 games to help fuel Nebraska s turnaround. The Huskers also featured some depth in , a luxury they lacked in Yori and her staff made up some major ground on the recruiting trail by adding five freshmen to their roster. They continued their recruiting success by adding one Division I transfer, four junior college transfers and a pair of freshmen for the season.
