Griffin s effort pushed her past 1,400 career points and 700 career rebounds, joining just five other players in school history to achieve those plateaus. Cory Montgomery also achieved a milestone by becoming the 24th player in NU history to join the 1,000-point club. Montgomery finished with 15 points, including nine points during a 14-2 second-half surge to help the Huskers push their lead to 14 points. Montgomery s first of back-to-back three-pointers midway through the second half pushed her past the 1,000-point mark. Yvonne Turner also made several key plays during NU s second-half surge, finishing with all eight of her points after halftime. The big nights for the three Husker seniors allowed Nebraska to overcome a 23-point, seven-rebound effort from UALR star Chastity Reed, who had 20 points with 15 minutes left in the game. Nebraska s defense shut down the defending Sun Belt Conference West Division champions down the stretch to cruise to the win.

Game Highlights: Yvonne Turner led four Huskers in double figures with 14 points and seven rebounds, while Kelsey Griffin added her sixth double-double of the year with 13 points and 11 boards, as No. 12 Nebraska outlasted Iowa State in a defensive struggle at Hilton Coliseum. Playing in their Big 12 opener against the Cyclones, who were ranked No. 23 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Top 25, Nebraska held ISU to just 2-of-12 shooting from three-point range. The Cyclones entered the contest averaging nearly 10 threes per game. The Huskers also became the first ISU opponent to outrebound the Cyclones on the season, while snapping Iowa State s 12-game home winning streak. Nebraska s stellar defense allowed the Huskers to pick up their second win at Hilton Coliseum in the past three seasons, while extending their school-record winning streak to 14 games. Nebraska led for all but the first minute of the first half, but carried just a 29-27 halftime lead. Iowa State scored the first six points of the second half to take a 33-29 edge, before Dominique Kelley and Griffin led NU back to take a 43-37 lead on Kelley s three with 7:38 left in the game. NU took its biggest lead at 49-39 in the second half, after holding ISU to just one field goal in an 11:30 stretch.

The Huskers, who earlier in the day earned their first-ever top-10 national ranking by tying Baylor for ninth in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll were also ranked 11th by the AP at game time. With another big game from Griffin, and then-season-high scoring efforts from Yvonne Turner (21), Dominique Kelley (18) and Cory Montgomery (16), Nebraska stretched its school-record winning streak to 15 games. The Huskers notched their seventh game of 80 or more points on the season, while scoring 90 points against a Big 12 foe for the first time since a 90-70 win over Colorado on Feb. 27, 2007. It was Nebraska s highest point total against a Big 12 opponent since scoring 103 points in a triple-overtime win over Baylor exactly five years earlier on Jan. 12, 2005. It was NU s highest output in a regulation league game since scoring 96 at Missouri on Feb. 17, 1998. Griffin hit 8-of-11 shots from the field and 10-of-12 free throws, while setting a Nebraska record for career free throws made. She ended the night with 444, surpassing the previous Nebraska record of 440 set by Nicole Kubik from 1997 to 2000.
