COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES FOR BOOSTERS

The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

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. Compliance The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA. Questions and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni and Representatives of Athletic Interests

A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Q: Who is a Student-Athlete? A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Q: What is Contact? A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal

guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Q: What is Recruiting?

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster?

RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13 Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; accept employment from more than one employer and earn unlimited income; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product.

2020-21 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

CAIN, HAIBY RETURN TO LEAD HUSKERS The Nebraska women's basketball team faces a changing landscape as the coronavirus continues to force adjustments to the parameters of college seasons. The Huskers know that reliable practices and flexible approaches are going to be priorities throughout the season. Nebraska enters Head Coach Amy Williams' fifth season in Lincoln with a roster that features returning starters Kate Cain and Sam Haiby. Three sophomores, Isabelle Bourne, Makenzie Helms and Trinity Brady, return for the Huskers alongside seven new players to the program's 12-player roster. Cain, a 6-5 senior center from Middletown, N.Y., has been an anchor for the Huskers on the block since her freshman season in 2017-18. Nebraska's career blocked shot leader with 280 over her first three seasons, is a two-time Big Ten All-Defensive selection. Last season, Cain set the Husker record with 101 blocked shots while also delivering her best defensive rebounding season with 7.2 boards per game, while averaging 9.3 points per game. Cain, who has started 91 consecutive games, also earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades as junior. Cain, who is a three-time Lisa Leslie Award nominee, is also a two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar who earned her bachelor's degree in management from Nebraska in May of 2020. Cain, who will be a CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica candidate, also has been projected as a middle second-round selection in the 2021 WNBA Draft. "Kate has proven herself as a hard worker in the gym, in the weight room and in the classroom throughout her career here at Nebraska," Williams said. "She has been extremely coachable and has always been focused on improving herself in all areas. This season, we will be challenging Kate to be an effective leader for our team as a captain as well." Cain will not be alone as a captain for the Huskers in 2020-21. She will be joined by the junior Haiby and the sophomore Bourne in guiding the new-look Huskers through the season. Haiby, a 5-9 guard from Moorhead, Minn., ranked second among the Huskers in scoring (10.0 ppg) and assists (3.3 apg) while leading Nebraska in steals (1.5 spg) as a sophomore in 2019-20. In her first season as a starter a year ago, Haiby also averaged 4.2 rebounds per game and hit 36.4 percent of her three-point attempts. "Sammi is our most experienced guard and she has been focused on improving her game to help us become a better basketball team," Williams said. "She has grown a lot as a person and a player in her first two seasons, and we hope she has a terrific junior year." Bourne joins Haiby and Cain as captains although she has never started a college basketball game. A 6-2 forward from Canberra, Australia, Bourne averaged 5.9 points and 4.4 rebounds while playing in all 30 games off the bench for the Big Red as a true freshman. A

A two-time Big Ten All-Defensive Team selection, Kate Cain leads the Huskers into the 2020-21 season as Nebraska's career blocked shot record holder (280). Cain, who will play her fourth season at Nebraska as a graduate student, is also closing in on 1,000 career points. long-time member of the Australian National Team program, Bourne's production increased in the second half of the season, capped by career highs of 16 points and five blocked shots to go along with six rebounds in the Big Ten Tournament against Michigan on March 5. "Issie is a leader and she has worked hard during this long offseason to get bigger, stronger and faster while also taking her basketball skills to higher levels," Williams said. "We think we could see a good jump in Issie's production on the court this season." Nebraska also could be hoping for increased production from sophomore guards Makenzie Helms and Trinity Brady. Both players battled injuries as true freshmen. Helms, a 5-8 point guard from East Haven, Conn., had a strong offseason after competing in 13 games behind graduated four-year starting point guard Hannah Whitish last year. Helms was named Nebraska's Lifter of the Year at the end of the summer. However, she suffered a broken nose just days before the official start of team practices in October. The injury required surgery, which kept Helms off the court for the first couple weeks of team practice. Brady, a 5-11 guard from Indianapolis, played in 17 games as a true freshman despite missing the first 10 contests of the season with a concussion. Nebraska's five returning players will serve as the glue for a roster that adds seven newcomers, including four transfers and three freshmen.

Bella Cravens, a 6-3 junior forward from Laie, Hawaii, is the most accomplished of the Husker transfers. Cravens earned honorable-mention All-Big Sky recognition as a sophomore at Eastern Washington last season, after averaging 10.4 points and a Big Sky-leading 8.5 rebounds per game. In addition to ranking among the top 100 players in NCAA Division I in rebounding average, Cravens also blocked 47 shots and came up with 25 steals. During a four-game stretch in late-February, Cravens averaged 20.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.8 steals while hitting nearly 70 percent of her field goals. Cravens was granted immediate eligibility to compete prior to the start of Nebraska's team practices for 2020-21. "Bella is an excellent athlete who is motivated to become the best player she can," Williams said. "We have a strong need for the things she brings to the table, and we believe her best basketball is still in front of her." Dillard is also a Division I transfer who was granted immediate eligibility for the Huskers prior to the start of official practices. The 5-9 guard from Sacramento, Calif., who spent her first season at Texas Tech, appeared in 23 games with two starts for the Lady Raiders. She averaged 3.6 points and hit 34.6 percent of her three-pointers. She scored 10 points in a win over Oklahoma (Jan. 22), before adding nine points against Big 12 champion Baylor the next time out (Jan. 25).

SEVEN NEWCOMERS GIVE BIG RED NEW LOOK "We are very excited to add Nailah to the Husker family," Williams said. "She brings another confident presence from behind the arc, and she is also a player that is hungry to expand her game. She takes pride in playing on both ends of the court." Graduate transfer MiCole Cayton comes to Lincoln hoping to have two or three seasons of eligibility remaining. A member of the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team at California in 2016-17, Cayton has appeared in only four games over the past three seasons combined while battling injuries. After earning her bachelor's degree in legal studies from Cal in May of 2020, Cayton is pursuing a master's degree in education from Nebraska. Cayton, who originally signed out of high school to play for former Coach Connie Yori with Nebraska in November of 2015, has continued to gain strength and increase her participation in practice throughout September and October. The Huskers are hoping Cayton can continue to improve throughout November as the season nears. "MiCole has an infectious competitive spirit and drive to be her very best," Williams said. "Her high energy and passion along with her experience as a collegiate athlete make her a great fit for our program." Another 2016 high school graduate, junior college transfer Ashley Scoggin joined the Huskers as a 22-year-old sophomore. Scoggin earned first-team NJCAA All-Region 18 honors for Salt Lake City Community College in 201920. She was also a member of the Region 18 All-Tournament team while helping the Bruins to the Region 18 title. Scoggin averaged 10.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals a year ago, while hitting 40 percent of her threes and 95 percent of her free throws. "We are excited to add Ashley to our Husker family," Williams said. "She is a play-making guard with experience and maturity and will provide us with another consistent presence from behind the arc." Nebraska's three-player freshman class could also make an immediate impact for the Huskers. Australian National Team program member Ruby Porter will contend for time in the Big Red backcourt. The 5-10 guard from Adelaide, Australia, provides high energy and vocal leadership on the court and in practice. In the summer of 2019, Porter helped the Australia 3x3 National Team to a title at the Asia Cup. She also competed for the full Australian U17 National Team at the 2018 World Championships. "Ruby has a lot of potential and some intangibles that can really benefit our team," Williams said. "She was unable to get to campus as early as any of us would have liked because of the coronavirus and travel restrictions in Australia, but she is making the most of the time she has had to improve." Freshman Annika Stewart hopes to contribute to Nebraska's rotation inside. The 6-3 forward from Minneapolis averaged 25 points per game over her final 12 games at Wayzata High School

last season. For the season, she averaged 20 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 41.5 percent from three-point range and 89.5 percent at the free throw line. "Annika has good size and strength and really fits into the mold of a Big Ten post, while also having the ability to hit the outside shot," Williams said. "She comes from a basketball family and has a great desire to be the best player that she can be, so we are looking forward to her growing in our program." Whitney Brown rounds out Nebraska's roster. The preferred walk-on out of Grand Island Northwest High School was a two-time SuperState guard. As a senior, she led the Vikings with 17.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals. As a junior, she powered Grand Island Northwest to a Class B state title while capturing first-team All-Nebraska honors from the Omaha World-Herald. The impact of the world-wide outbreak of the coronavirus has had far reaching impacts on women's basketball since it caused the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Tournament. The pandemic also delayed the official start to the college basketball season to Nov. 25, which forced the complete alteration of Nebraska's

non-conference schedule and a shift in the Big Ten schedule from 18 to 20 games for 2020-21. The Huskers have scheduled a game with Oral Roberts at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Dec. 4, ahead of a Dec. 6 game with Idaho State in Lincoln. That game will be a reunion of sorts for sisters Isabelle and Callie Bourne. Nebraska expects to conclude its regular-season non-conference schedule with its annual game against Creighton in Omaha on Dec. 14. The 20-game conference schedule is expected to tip off Dec. 10-12, and an extra week has been added to the women's basketball calendar from its original schedule. The Big Ten Tournament returns to Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis but the dates were altered to March 9-13, from the original schedule of March 3-7. The field for the 2021 NCAA Tournament is expected to be announced on Monday, March 15. NCAA first and second rounds will be held March 19-22, before Regionals are held Albany, N.Y., Austin, Texas, Cincinatti, Ohio and Spokane, Wash. March 26-29. The NCAA Women's Final Four is scheduled to take place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, April 2-4.

Sam Haiby returns as the most experienced Husker in the backcourt after averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game as a sophomore starter in 2019-20.

2020-21 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 Big Ten is a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field, as schools have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships. The history of the Big Ten traces back nearly 125 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11, 1895, thenKevin Warren Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Commissioner 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 athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bona fide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that followed in 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 1905. Indiana and Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew, and in 1912 Ohio State joined the conference, bringing its membership 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 1987. 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 over the last four 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 faced Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams 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. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. 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. For more than 100 years, it has been 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 six 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 James E. Delany in 1989. Those five served prior to current Commissioner Kevin Warren, who assumed the role on Sept. 16, 2019. Delany announced his retirement on March 4, 2019, concluding a 30-year career with the conference on Jan. 1, 2020. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. 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 institutions. While academics have always played an integral role, 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 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. Annually, 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 which 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 1992. 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.

In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences. In 2006, Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with FOX Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more than 1,800 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in almost 60 million homes in the United States and Canada via the nation’s major video providers and more than 300 additional video providers across the country. BTN is also available through the majority of OTT providers, and via the Fox Sports App, which delivers live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets. BTN Plus streams hundreds of additional events each season. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from Maryland (Nov. 19) and Rutgers (Nov. 20). Maryland and Rutgers became official 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 and building on the Big Ten’s tradition of broadbased sports competition. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women’s lacrosse beginning with the 2016-17 academic year. On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame would join the Big Ten for men’s ice hockey beginning in 2017-18. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten conference center hosts more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly CIC) related committees and coaches’ groups. The headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which brings the conference’s storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, go to 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. Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C. The Big Ten staff works to meet the educational needs of students competing in intercollegiate athletics to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference office manages 28 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 2,000 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel, and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

Chartered in Lincoln by the Nebraska Legislature in 1869, the University of Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a university system now comprising four campuses under the guidance of a Board of Regents and a central administration. The flagship University of NebraskaLincoln is an educational institution of international stature. Nebraska is classified within the Carnegie “R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity” category. Nebraska is also a land-grant university and a member of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

BIG TEN ACADEMIC ALLIANCE

As a member of the Big Ten, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which is the academic consortium of the universities in the Big Ten Conference. The BTAA includes all 14 Big Ten Institutions and partners with the University of Chicago.

PERSONAL

Washington State, B.A. (History, 1973) Family: Kendra (wife); Bo, Benjamin (sons); Christa, Brittany and Kati (daughters) Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future. Nine simple words that carry impressive significance and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s new athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the tone for building champions in competition and in life. William H. (Bill) Moos was named Nebraska’s Athletic Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those responsibilities on Oct. 23. Moos, who became the 15th athletic director in the history of the storied Cornhusker program, brought nearly 25 years of experience as an athletic director at three Division I schools (Washington State, Oregon, Montana) with him to Nebraska. More importantly, he brings an impressive track record of success in building outstanding programs, developing long-term relationships, and for doing what is best for his schools, its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes. “When you name the top three, four, five athletic programs in the great positions as an athletic director, Nebraska is in that same breath,” Moos said at his introductory press conference at Memorial Stadium. “I want you to know that my motto has always been, in the 25 years I have been a Division I athletic director and it will be here too is very simple - honor the past, live the present, create the future.” In his first six months at Nebraska, Moos made three coaching hires. He drew universal praise for hiring Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December. Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program.

Nebraska made national headlines with the hiring of Fred Hoiberg as its new men’s basketball coach in 2019. Moos made another impact move with the hiring of former Husker Will Bolt to lead the baseball program, after Major League All-Star, Gold Glove award winner and World Series champion Darin Erstad stepped down from his head coaching position after leading the Huskers to the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Moos hired Lisa Johnson to lead the women’s golf program after the retirement of long-time coach Robin Krapfl. He also hired long-time Husker assistant Paul Klempa to guide the nationally dominant bowling program after the retirement of the legendary Bill Straub, who led the program to five NCAA titles since 2004. Former Husker national champions Heather Brink (women’s gymnastics) and Rachel Martin (rifle) were also hired by Moos to lead those national championship-contending programs. In competition, the Nebraska volleyball team claimed the 2017 NCAA title just months after Moos was hired, before adding an NCAA runner-up finish in 2018. Both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in the top six at the 2018 NCAA Championships, before the men added a thirdplace team finish in 2019 - its best team showing since 1999. The bowling team added top-three national finishes in 2018 and 2019, while the wrestling team produced top-10 NCAA finishes in both of those seasons. The women’s basketball team made the NCAA Tournament in 2018, while the baseball team advanced to NCAA Tournament play in 2019. Nebraska also has continued its excellence in the classroom, producing 11 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans over the last three years, bringing NU’s nation-leading total to 340 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports. Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served 12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at Oregon (1995-2007). During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics, spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing rights agreement with IMG College. In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a remodeled press box with luxury seating, including suites, loge boxes and club room. Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and opened in May 2014. As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a 12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics. Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000 to more than 7,500. Additional facility enhancements under Moos included a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field underwent a major renovation making the venue TV-ready while also providing one of the best playing surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of lights and a new scoreboard. Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track facility, Bailey-Brayton Field, the basketball practice gym, Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes and coaches accounted for 805 academic all-conference selections, 130 all-conference accolades, 45 All-America honors and three Pac-12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national prominence during his tenure.Oregon’s annual athletic department budget grew

from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming 100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million. Moos initiated more than $160 million in facility improvements while at Oregon. Included in that was the $90 million Autzen Stadium renovation in 2002, which added 12,000 new seats, 32 new suites, a new Club at Autzen and a new press box to the stadium. In his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in each of those seasons. During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13 Pac10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an allinclusive shoe and apparel contract with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon student-athletes collected 722 academic all-conference selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one NCAA Top Ten Award. During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator, developed a facility enhancement plan that created more than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in private and corporate gifts. Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally successful as the athletic department achieved a graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana garnered 269 academic allconference selections, five Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients. Moos began his athletic career as an athletic administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director at Washington State. He also served as the school’s associate athletic director (1988-90). At Washington State, he was director of development for more than five years and associate director for nearly two years, supervising all external operations. Prior to that, he managed and owned private businesses in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a student assistant football coach at Washington State for the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington, D.C., serving as a government intern. Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and was a three-year letterman in football before concluding his collegiate career by representing Washington State in the 1972 East-West Shrine All-Star Game in San Francisco. He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad and garnered first-team All-Pac-8 Conference honors. Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters: Christa, Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.

OUTLOOK (2020-21)

A talented and tough competitor, Trinity Brady is looking to make greater contributions for the Huskers in her second season at Nebraska in 2020-21. The 5-11 guard from Indianapolis played in 17 games for the Huskers as a freshman, despite missing NU's first 10 games of the season in the concussion protocol. Her recovery and limited activity in November and December of 2019, held back her contributions. With a full offseason, Brady is hoping to make steps forward to help the Big Red as a sophomore. "Trinity has shown great resiliency throughout her basketball career, and we saw that throughout her freshman season," Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. "She had to face her share of challenges on the court with injuries, and off the court with some personal tragedies. Her life experiences have taught her how to bounce back and to stay positive through tough times. Her perseverance is inspiring to her teammates and our staff. "One of the things I love the most about Trinity is that she loves to compete. If we put a challenge in front of her group in skill work or to the team as a whole, she is going to rally the troops to accomplish the goal. Off the court, she also has to have the best TikToks!"

2020-21 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

COVID-19 CAUSES EARLY END TO 2019-20

Kate Cain became Nebraska's career blocked shot leader during the 2019-20 season. Cain, who set the Husker single-season record with 101 blocks as a junior, enters her senior season in 2020-21 with 280 blocks, which ranks among the top-10 totals in Big Ten history. The Nebraska women's basketball team produced gains on and off the court throughout 2019-20, but the Huskers had their season come to a premature end becuase of the world-wide outbreak of the coronavirus in mid-March. Nebraska, which produced a three-game improvement in the win column over its 201819 season, finished with a 17-13 overall record. The Huskers were not only postseason eligible, they were likely to host at least a first-round WNIT game at Pinnacle Bank Arena. That announcement was scheduled to come on Monday, March 16, but the NCAA and Triple Crown Sports (WNIT) both announced prior to the scheduled selections that the remainder of the 2019-20 college basketball season was canceled. Despite the disappointment, Head Coach Amy Williams had plenty of reasons to be proud of the Huskers in 2019-20. Going head-to-head against the highest quality of Big Ten competition since the Huskers joined the conference in 2011-12, Nebraska ranked No. 48 in the final Massey Ratings. The Huskers, who battled their way to a 7-11 Big Ten mark despite playing eight games against conference foes that finished in the final NCAA RPI Top 20, were one of 10 Big Ten teams to finish in the NCAA RPI Top 100. Even more impressively, the Big Ten finished with 11 teams in the final top 64 of the Massey Ratings, as the Huskers played a whopping 16 games against teams that finished in the top 50 in the Massey. Nebraska produced its best record at home (13-4) since 2015-16, while posting its highest average home attendance mark (4,397) since 2016-17. The Huskers ranked No. 20 nationally

in average home attendance - their 11th straight season in the top 25 in the NCAA attendance rankings. The Huskers ranked fifth among Big Ten teams in attendance, as the conference featured nine of the top-30 schools nationally in average home attendance. Individually, Kate Cain earned her second spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team, while smashing Nebraska's career blocked shot record (280). The 6-5 Cain also set the Husker season record with 101 blocks, which led the Big Ten. She was also an honorable-mention All-Big Ten choice. In Big Ten regular-season play, Cain led the conference in both blocks (3.6 bpg) and defensive rebounds (6.7 drpg). She also climbed into the Big Ten's all-time top 10 in blocked shots. Cain, who was among the 20 initial candidates for the 2020 Lisa Leslie Award, averaged 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and a Big Ten-best 3.4 blocks per game in 2019-20. Her 101 blocks ranked third nationally, while her 3.4 blocks per game ranked fourth. Cain had five Big Ten double-doubles in 2019-20, including 12 points, 12 rebounds, seven blocks and a career-high four steals at eventual Big Ten champion Northwestern (Feb. 16). She also had 14 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks against Ohio State (Feb. 2). After going without a block for the only time in 2019-20 at No. 20 Maryland (Jan. 16), Cain had multiple blocks in 11 consecutive games, including at least five blocks in six straight games from Minnesota (Jan. 30) to Northwestern (Feb. 16). As a team, the Huskers led the Big Ten in blocked shots with 6.3 per game on their way to a school-record 188 on the season. The

Big Red have produced the top three team blocked shot totals in school history with Cain on the court (188, 2019-20; 163, 2017-18; 156, 2018-19). Cain led a Husker defense that surrendered just 65.5 points per game, an improvement of 4.6 points per contest from 2018-19. Nebraska also held opponents to just 37.4 percent shooting from the field, an improvement of 3.7 percent compared to 2018-19. Offensively, Nebraska featured one of the most balanced attacks in the Big Ten with seven players averaging more than seven points per game. The Husker bench outscored opponent reserves in 25 of 30 games on the year, producing a cumulative advantage of 781-479 (26.0-16.0 ppg). Leigha Brown, the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year, led the Huskers in scoring with 14.4 points per game. Fellow sophomore Sam Haiby averaged 10.0 points per game in her first season as a starter, while also leading the Huskers with 44 steals on the season. She also dished out 100 assists for the year. Haiby provided Nebraska with one of its most memorable performances early in the season when she erupted for a career-high 28 points to power the Huskers to a 90-85 overtime win at Missouri (Nov. 10). Her gametying three-pointer with three seconds left sent the game to overtime at Mizzou Arena. Her two free throws with 13.3 seconds left in OT sealed the Husker win. Senior Hannah Whitish, a two-time All-Big Ten selection, ranked fourth on the team in scoring, but led the Huskers with 107 assists. She also continued to be one of the Big Ten's best long-range shooters, knocking down 38.2 percent (63-165) of her three-pointers.

She finished No. 19 on Nebraska's all-time scoring list with 1,228 points. The 5-9 guard from Barneveld, Wis., also finished third in school history with 258 three-pointers. She was sixth on the Husker career chart with 470 assists. Fellow four-year starter Nicea Eliely also capped a solid career. She became one of only 12 Huskers in history to reach the combined career milestones of 900 points (947), 400 rebounds (464) and 200 assists (258). She also finished 10th in school history with 115 career starts. The 6-1 wing from Colorado Springs, Colo., averaged 8.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 2019-20. The Huskers also got a strong boost off the bench from freshman Isabelle Bourne. The 6-2 forward from Canberra, Australia, averaged 5.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. She capped her first year in the United States with career highs of 16 points, five blocks and 29 minutes off the bench in the Big Ten Tournament against Michigan (March 5). She also pulled down six rebounds against the Wolverines. Bourne finished the season with 29 blocked shots, which ranked as the sixth-best total by a freshman in school history. Fellow 2019-20 freshmen Trinity Brady and Makenzie Helms also contributed for the Huskers, despite battling injuries for significant portions of the season. Several other Huskers played key leadership roles during the season. Senior Grace Mitchell earned Nebraska's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. The 6-2 forward from Wellington, Kan., was also honored with a Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship and a Nebraska N Club Scholarship as a top academic performer across all sports. A three-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, Mitchell added a prestigious Sam Foltz Hero 27 Leadership Award as one of Nebraska's most committed student-athletes to community involvement. The fourth member of Nebraska's senior class, Kristian Hudson, also demonstrated her commitment to excellence. The 5-5 guard was chosen to participate in the WBCA's "So You Want To Be A Coach" program. She was also named to the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar All-America team for women's basketball. Hudson, who earned her master's degree in applied science from Nebraska in May, went on to secure an assistant coaching job at Graceland University in July. Nebraska, which posted a 97-33 exhibition win over Rogers State (Nov. 2), notched a 6846 season-opening win over Alabama A&M at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Nov. 6). The Bulldogs were coached by former Husker Margaret Richards and featured former Nebraska high school players Nigeria Jones (Lincoln Northeast) and Dariauna Lewis (Omaha North). The Huskers improved to 2-0 with the thrilling overtime victory at Missouri (Nov. 10), before moving to 3-0 with a 78-55 win over Morgan State in Lincoln (Nov. 14). The Big Red improved to 5-0 with two more wins over SIU Edwardsville (63-49, Nov. 17) and Southern (73-39, Nov. 20) at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

That set up Nebraska's toughest early nonconference test against Creighton (Nov. 24). In a tight game throughout, the Jays connected on 14-of-32 three-pointers, while Nebraska went just 3-for-16 from beyond the arc. Despite the huge disparity from long range, and Creighton's 23-11 scoring margin at the free throw line, Nebraska fell by just five points, 7974. Cain led five Huskers in double figures with 18 points and seven rebounds, while Haiby added 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Taylor Kissinger returned to the court against Creighton after battling a hip injury and a concussion early in the season. Although she went scoreless in 13 minutes against the Jays, her return helped the Huskers in the second half of non-conference play. At 5-1, Nebraska traveled to Las Vegas for the South Point Shootout over the Thanksgiving holiday. In a battle with traditional power USC, Nebraska used a 15-2 fourth-quarter surge to post a 67-54 win over the Women of Troy. Kissinger had two three-pointers and two steals to help the Huskers. Nebraska completed a 2-0 weekend in Nevada with a 72-49 win over Sacred Heart. Whitish led the Big Red with 15 points on five three-pointers, while Kissinger added 11 points and two more threes off the bench in the win.

9 three-point shooting against the Blue Devil zone. Cain added 12 points, five rebounds and five blocks as Nebraska improved to 8-1 with an 83-79 victory. However, Kissinger's hip injury knocked her out of action for the rest of the season. She underwent surgery in December in hopes of recovering for a redshirt junior season in 202021. Unfortunately, surgery did not completely correct Kissinger's pain and she chose to end her playing career in August of 2020. Despite Kissinger's absence, the Huskers rolled to wins over Oral Roberts (77-67, Dec. 14) and Manhattan (71-51, Dec. 22) to complete non-conference play with an impressive 10-1 record. Nebraska opened Big Ten Conference action by playing host to 2019 NCAA Elite Eight qualifier Iowa (Dec. 28). Cain led four Husker starters in double figures with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Following the win over the Hawkeyes, the Huskers suffered a 78-70 overtime loss at Michigan State on New Year's Eve, despite another double-double from Cain and a gamehigh 19 points from Haiby. The Huskers return to Lincoln and notched one of their biggest wins of the season with a 72-58 victory over No. 24 Minnesota (Jan. 4). Cain was dominant with 19 points and 15 rebounds while Haiby and Whitish both contributed 17 points. Nebraska improved to 3-1 in the Big and 13-2 overall with a 65-50 victory over Wisconsin at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Jan. 9). Bourne led the Huskers with 11 points and eight rebounds, while Haiby added 11 points and seven assists. After a 69-65 loss at Rutgers (Jan. 12) and an 87-69 setback at No. 20 Maryland (Jan. 16), the Huskers returned home for a 74-71 victory over Michigan (Jan. 19). Whitish put up her best effort of the season with 20 points and five assists, while Haiby added 18 points and four more assists for the Big Red to improve to 14-4 and 4-3 in the league. Nebraska hit the halfway mark of the 18game Big Ten schedule at 15-5, 5-4 after a narrow 76-68 loss at Purdue (Jan. 22) and a 7271 road win at Wisconsin (Jan. 25). The Huskers then sufferered four straight setbacks, with three of them by six points or less, including a 67-61 loss at Minnesota (Jan. 30), an 80-74 OT loss to Ohio State (Feb. 2) and a 57-53 loss at No. 18 Indiana (Feb. 9). The Big Red rallied for a 75-58 win over Penn State in Lincoln (Feb. 13), before suffering another narrow 60-56 setback at No. 19 Northwestern (Feb. 16). The Huskers managed a Senior Night victory over Illinois, 80-58, and finished conference regular-season play with a 7-11 record. Seven of Nebraska's 11 regular-season Big Ten losses were by eight points or less including two in overtime. NU's one-game stay at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis was similar, as the Huskers closed the year with an 81-75 loss to Michigan (March 5) as the coronavirus pandemic began to take hold. Ten days later, college basketball season ended with the cancellation of all postseason tournaments. As March progressed, all sports in the United States began to shut down and in-person classes at the University of Nebraska came to an end.

Brown, who also scored 18 points after halftime, added four in the overtime period to help the Huskers improve to 2-0. Hannah Whitish added 12 points and team highs of seven rebounds, five assists and four steals while also taking several key charges.

Nicea Eliely gave the Huskers four players in double figures with 10 points, but fouled out midway through the fourth quarter. She was the first of three Huskers to foul out, including Whitish and Kayla Mershon, as the Huskers were whistled for 30 fouls.

The Big Red played Maryland even in the second quarter and outscored the Terps 21-18 in the third to close the gap to 61-55 heading to the fourth period.

Hannah Whitish tied a career high with six threes to finish with a season-high 20 points. Sam Haiby added three threes on her way to 18 points, and Nicea Eliely knocked down three triples to finish with 11 points - all in the second half. Nebraska trailed 34-28 at the half, then surrendered a 7-0 Michigan run to start the second half as the Wolverines built a 41-28 lead. After a Nebraska timeout, Whitish hit her fourth three to spark the Huskers. Eliely added a three as part of a 12-2 NU surge that cut Michigan’s lead to 43-40. Michigan pushed the edge back to 49-43 with 50 seconds left in the quarter, but Nebraska closed on a 5-0 run with a buzzer-beating three from Whitish to head to the fourth trailing 49-48. Eliely hit a three to open the fourth and give NU a 51-49 lead. She gave the Huskers the lead for good with two free throws to make it 57-56, before her final three gave NU a 70-63 edge with 1:15 left.

The Huskers led 38-36 at halftime, but struggled to 3-for-17 shooting in the third quarter and headed to the fourth down 57-47. The Badgers held a 59-49 lead with eight minutes left before back-to-back three-point plays by Kate Cain and Leigha Brown sparked the Huskers. Brown, who led the Huskers with 20 points, added a threepoint play later in the quarter and a pair of big free throws to finish with eight points in the fourth quarter.

With 7.7 seconds, Haiby grabbed her career-high fifth steal, then buried a pair of free throws to seal the win.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final Nebraska 19 20 9 13 61 Minnesota 15 15 17 20 67

Game Highlights: In a back-and-fourth game that featured runs throughout, Minnesota made the game’s last surge to claim a 67-61 victory over Nebraska at Williams Arena. The Huskers trailed early but closed the first quarter strong to take a 19-15 lead. The teams were tied at 27 before the Huskers erupted on a 12-0 run over a three-minute stretch late in the second quarter. The Gophers ended the run with a last-second three by Masha Adashchyk to end the half and send the Huskers to the locker room with a 39-30 lead. But Minnesota opened the second half with 10 straight points to take a 40-39 lead. Nebraska rebuilt a 55-49 midway through the fourth, but the Gophers outscored NU 18-6 down the stretch to split the season series. The Huskers committed 13 turnovers in the final 20 minutes, and Minnesota capitalized by outscoring NU 14-0 in points off turnovers in the half. Leigha Brown (15) and Hannah Whitish (13) led the Huskers in scoring, but the duo combined for just five points in the second half. Kate Cain provided a bright spot with six blocked shots, becoming Nebraska’s career leader in that category at the end of the night with 241 after 83 career games. She broke the previous mark of 238, set by Janet Smith (1979-82) over a span of 136 career games.

Game Highlights: Nebraska put together its best first half of the season, building a 49-34 lead at the break, but the Huskers struggled through their worst shooting half of the year to fall 80-74 in overtime to Ohio State at Pinnacle Bank Arena. After trailing 17-10 early, the Huskers erupted for 15 points in the final four minutes of the first quarter to take a 25-23 lead on a buzzer-beating three by Hannah Whitish. They continued to surge in the second period, capped by a buzzer-beating layup from Kate Cain to end the half up 15. In the third quarter, NU went 1-for-12 from the field, including 0-for-7 from long range. In the fourth, the Huskers went just 3-for-16. Despite going 4-for-28 from the floor in the second half, Nebraska never trailed in the half and Ohio State didn’t tie it until Kierstan Bell’s shot with one minute left to close the scoring in regulation tied at 68. Nebraska led 74-72 with just over a minute left in OT, but the Buckeyes closed the game on an 8-0 run in the final 1:06 to claim victory. The 21 combined blocks (12, Nebraska; 9, Ohio State) were the most in a game in Husker history. The 113 combined rebounds were the fourth-most in Nebraska history, and the most since 1990.

The Huskers, who hit 32.8 percent from the field for the game, connected on 33.3 percent in the first half but trailed just 35-32 at the break. In a possession game throughout the first half, Iowa’s Kathleen Doyle sent the Hawkeyes to the locker room with the lead on her three-pointer with 49 seconds left for the final points of the half. Led by Doyle’s seven points in the third quarter and six from Monika Czinano, the Hawkeyes went 8-for-16 from the floor in the quarter, while the Huskers went just 5-for-15. Iowa went to the fourth quarter with a double-digit lead it did not relinquish. Czinano led Iowa with 23 points, while Doyle added a doubledouble with 15 points and 15 assists. Amanda Ollinger added a double-double of her own for the Hawkeyes with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Leigha Brown led Nebraska with 20 points off the bench, including 14 in the first half. Hannah Whitish pitched in 14 points, while Kate Cain added 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots.

Game Highlights: Nebraska battled back from a 25-point first-half deficit to tie the game twice in the fourth quarter, but No. 18 Indiana escaped with a 57-53 win. Nebraska fell behind 12-0 in the first four minutes and trailed 26-6 at the end of one quarter. Indiana pushed the lead to 36-11 with six minutes left in the half. NU got a spark from Trinity Brady and Makenzie Helms, who combined for eight straight points in a 1:10 span to cap a 10-0 Husker run that cut the Indiana lead to 36-21 with 2:51 left in the half. However, the Hoosiers regrouped to take a 41-23 lead to halftime and still held a 50-33 lead with four minutes left in the third quarter. A three by Hannah Whitish and a pair of buckets by Isabelle Bourne helped the Huskers close the third on a 7-1 surge. NU then outscored Indiana 11-0 over the first seven minutes of the fourth to tie the game at 51. Tied at 53 with 30 seconds left, Grace Berger made a reverse layup for IU’s only field goal in the final 14 minutes. Brenna Wise took a charge with 19 seconds left, and Jaelyn Penn sank two free throws with 18 seconds remaining to seal the win.

Both teams worked to find offense, heading to the second quarter tied at 12. But Dorka Juhasz caught fire for the Buckeyes with 12 second-quarter points, including nine in a 14-0 run that put OSU in control. Juhasz, who finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds, had 12 points and 10 boards in the first half alone to give the Buckeyes a 33-20 halftime lead. The Huskers, who went 0-for-13 from long range in the first half, couldn’t get going in the third either, trailing 53-33 after 30 minutes. But Leigha Brown and Sam Haiby hit threes early in the third and Nebraska used a 12-3 surge to cut the Buckeye lead to 11 at 56-45 with six minutes left. The Huskers had multiple possessions to cut the lead to single digits, holding OSU scoreless for more than five minutes. NU was unable to get over the hump, as Ohio State secured the season sweep.

Nebraska drew its first sellout crowd for women's basketball with 13,595 fans at the Devaney Center on Feb. 27, 2010. The Huskers, who drew 10 straight crowds of more than 10,000 fans to close 2010, defeated Missouri 67-51.

HUSKERS CELEBRATED FINAL SEASON AT DEVANEY IN 2012-13 NEBRASKA FACED UTAH AT DEVANEY ON NOV. 23, 2014

For 37 seasons (1976-2013) the Nebraska women's basketball team called the Bob Devaney Sports Center home. In 2013-14, the Huskers made a successful move into Pinnacle Bank Arena, tying the school record with 16 home victories while ranking No. 8 nationally in total attendance (110,892). Nebraska made its regular-season debut at the 15,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena with a resounding 77-49 victory over Pac-12 power UCLA on Nov. 8, 2013. Little more than a year later, the Huskers returned to their old home court to face another Pac-12 foe, when Nebraska defeated Utah, 66-43, at the Devaney Center on Nov. 23, 2014. The game against the Utes was the first played by the Huskers on their old home court since the Devaney Center was completely renovated for volleyball prior to the 2013 season. In Nebraska's final season of women's basketball at the Devaney Center (2012-13), the building featured a seating capacity of 13,595. The nearly $20 million in renovations at the Devaney Center reduced capacity to 7,907 with standing room approaching nearly 8,500. The Husker volleyball program led the nation in home attendance in 2013 with 8,175 fans per match. The renovations to the Devaney Center continued with significant upgrades to the outside of the building in 2014. Inside, ceiling trusses have been added to provide an historic feel, while five luxurious suites and large new 10MM video screens have been installed to help create an electric atmosphere. Although the Huskers no longer compete at the Devaney Center as their permanent home, the team's impressive practice facility, the Hendricks Training Complex, is attached to the Devaney Center. Not only do the Huskers continue to utilize the Devaney Center for summer camps, the building also serves as a host site, along with Pinnacle Bank Arena, for the Nebraska Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments. Named after Nebraska Hall of Fame football coach and athletic director Bob Devaney (1962-93), the Devaney Center opened in the fall of 1976 and is located on NU's Innovation Campus (formerly the Nebraska State Fairgrounds). The building currently houses Nebraska's volleyball, track, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics teams. In 2009-10, Nebraska ranked seventh nationally with a school-record average home attendance of 7,390 fans per game. The Huskers also led the Big 12 in league games only by averaging 11,383 fans per contest, including seven consecutive crowds of more than 10,000 fans to close the season. NU sold out the Devaney Center for women's basketball with 13,595 on hand for a win over Missouri on Feb. 27, 2010. The Huskers have regularly ranked among the top 30 teams in average attendance, including 16th in 2012-13.

2020-21 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

HUSKERS GROW TRADITION 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 - 29-0!" 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 2009-10. 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 82-72 win over the Wildcats on March 6, 2010. 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, 80-64 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 netcutting 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 77-52 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. Nebraska's first winner of the Senior CLASS Award in

Amy Williams was named Nebraska's 10th women's basketball coach on April 11, 2016. A four-year letterwinner at Nebraska (Amy Gusso, 1995-98), Williams was the Summit League Coach of the Year at South Dakota in 2015 and 2016. She was the Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Nebraska to the 2018 NCAA Tournament. 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 first-team 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 2014. 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 2012. 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 from 2010 to 2014. 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 2014-15 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 2015-16, Yori's 14 seasons at Nebraska came to an end with an 18-13 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, 2002. 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 2002-03. In her second season, Nebraska improved to 18-12 overall and made its first of seven straight postseason tournament appearances. The Huskers added a postseason trip in 2004-05, 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 103-99 triple overtime victory over eventual national champion Baylor at Devaney on Jan. 12. Nebraska made a third straight Postseason WNIT trip in 2005-06, again featuring Hardy as a first-team All-Big 12

BIG RED BUILD TITLE TRADITION IN BIG TEN guard, while adding Big 12 All-Freshman selection Kelsey Griffin at forward. Hardy and Griffin helped the Huskers to a 19-13 mark in 2005-06, 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 22-10 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 2008. This time around, the 21-12 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 2008-09 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 15-14 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 2009-10, 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 2010-11, a young Nebraska squad began a new building process in 2011-12. 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 Playerof-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. She had her jersey retired on Jan. 29, 2014. 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, 73-59 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 2013-14 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 80-74 loss to BYU. The Cougars joined 2014 NCAA champion Connecticut, Texas A&M and DePaul for the NCAA Lincoln Regional in 2014 - the first NCAA Tournament basketball games in Lincoln since 1993. 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 2013-14, along with the 11th-highest average home attendance (6,161) in NCAA

2020-21 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

HUSKERS BUILD POSTSEASON TRADITION women's basketball. Nebraska's total attendance of more 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 2014-15, and 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 1904.

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 1896. 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 1898. 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, 1879-1923,'' published in the spring 1975 issue of Nebraska History.

Karen Jennings earned the 1993 Wade Trophy and was Nebraska's first first-team AllAmerican. 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 2008.

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 1898-99 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 31-4. 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., 42-8. The University second team also played that day, defeating Baker University, 22-1. 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 16-0. 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, 1908. 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 1970. In 1974-75, 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 1952. 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 1975. With seven scholarships and Jan Crouch, his tallest starter at 5-foot11, 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 1976. 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. "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 20-14 and took second to Kansas State at the league tournament in Boulder, Colo. Nebraska's season ended with a 74-54 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 12-14 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 1986. 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 1984-85 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 1988. 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 1984. 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 1988. 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 76-72 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 100-82 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

Jordan Hooper earned first-team WBCA AllAmerica honors after being named the 2014 Big Ten Player of the Year. Hooper was a starter on the USA Basketball World University Games Team that won gold in Russia in 2013. Harris, a transfer from Bradley, earned Big Eight Newcomerof-the-Year honors. 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 TriCenter 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 1992-93, 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 64-60 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. SIX ALL-AMERICA AWARDS SINCE 2010

She was first-team all-conference three times, and she led the Huskers to the NCAA Tournament in 1993. 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 1993. 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 2008. 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 300 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 2015. Beck, who added a freshman walk-on from Spearfish, S.D., named Amy Gusso to her 1994-95 roster, coached Nebraska to the 1996 NCAA Tournament before leaving for the fledgling (and now defunct) American Basketball League after the 1996-97 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 1997-98 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 1998-99, the Nicole Kubik-led Huskers finished 21-12 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, losing to Kentucky 98-92. In 1999-2000, 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 began a new chapter in their women's basketball history with the return of Coach Amy Williams in 2016-17. A hard-working former Husker who earned back-to-back Summit League Coach-of-the-Year honors at the University of South Dakota in 2015 and 2016, Williams led the Huskers through the first year of a substantial rebuilding project in 2016-17. In her second season at Nebraska, Williams captured Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year honors by leading the nation's top turnaround while guiding the Huskers to their 14th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history in 2018. As the popularity of women's basketball at Nebraska continues to grow, the Huskers are confident that the best in the growing tradition of Big Red basketball is yet to come.

The 6-2 forward from Persia, Iowa, was a fouryear starter and led Nebraska to the second round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament. The first Husker to have her jersey retired, Jennings' No. 51 was retired in 1994 and formally put on display at the Devaney Center in 2006. A giant banner displaying her name and No. 51 are now on permanent display alongside Maurtice Ivy's No. 30 and Kelsey Griffin's No. 23 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

In March of 2015, she was named to the inaugural class of the University of Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame - one of 22 athletes across all sports. Jennings was one of the top student-athletes in NU history. She captured CoSIDA Academic All-American-of-the-Year honors in 1992 and 1993, while claiming CoSIDA First-Team Academic AllAmerica honors three times (1991, 1992, 1993). A two-time Big Eight Conference Player of the Year (1992, 1993) and a three-time first-team all-conference pick, Jennings was the Big Eight Newcomer of the Year in 1990. The captain of Nebraska's All-Century Team announced in February of 2000, Jennings closed her career as the first player in school history to score more than 2,000 points and record 1,000 rebounds. Jennings was also chosen as one of 25 Women of Distinction honored during the Nebraska Athletic Department's Silver Anniversary celebration of 25 years of women's athletics at NU in 1999-2000. Jennings averaged 20.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in her career, while ranking first in points (2,405). She also ranks fifth in career rebounds (1,000), first in field goals made (981), second in field-goal percentage (.568), third in field goals attempted (1,726), tied for fourth in free throws attempted (570) and fifth in free throws made (426). Jennings' 810 points and 25.3 points per game average in 1991-92 rank as the top single-season totals in school history, while her 10.0 rebounds per game allowed her to average a doubledouble as a junior. She also owns NU's single-game scoring mark with 48 points in an 87-82 win at Kansas State on Jan. 21, 1992. In her freshman season, the Huskers struggled to a 10-18 overall record, but with Jennings as a nucleus, NU improved to 17-11 the next season. She set the Husker sophomore record for scoring average at 20.5 points per game (574 points). NU continued to improve in Jennings' record-setting junior campaign, posting a 21-11 mark and advancing to the National Women's Invitational Tournament. In her final season, Jennings helped Nebraska to its first NCAA Tournament win in history with 14 points and eight rebounds in an 81-58 win over San Diego at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on March 17, 1993.

2,357 POINTS (2) HONORS & AWARDS • First-Team WBCA All-American (2014) • First-Team Senior CLASS All-American (2014) • Second-Team Associated Press All-American (2014) • No. 13 Overall Pick in 2014 WNBA Draft (Tulsa Shock, 1st Pick, 2nd Round) • Wade Trophy Finalist (2014) • Wooden Award Finalist (2014) • Senior CLASS Award Finalist (2014) • Naismith Trophy Midseason Top 30 (2012, 2013, 2014) • Two-Time Honorable-Mention All-American (WBCA, AP, 2012, 2013) • Big Ten Player of the Year (2014) • First-Team All-Big Ten (2012, 2013, 2014) • Big Ten All-Tournament Team (2012, 2014) • USA Basketball World University Games Gold Medalist (2013) • Big 12 All-Freshman Team (2011) • Academic All-Big Ten (2012, 2013, 2014) • Big Ten Sportsmanship Award (2014) The most athletic forward in Nebraska women's basketball history, Jordan Hooper finished No. 2 at NU in points (2,357) and third in rebounds (1,110) while smashing the Husker record with 295 threes. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., not only finished in a tie for No. 4 in Big Ten Conference history in three-pointers made, she was also one of only three players in Big Ten history to achieve the combined milestones of 2,300 points and 1,100 rebounds. She was the first Husker to ever accomplish that feat. Hooper, who tied Kelsey Griffin's school record with 40 career double-doubles, became Nebraska's first Big Ten Player of the Year in 2014, joining Griffin

(Big 12, 2010), Karen Jennings (Big Eight, 1993) and Maurtice Ivy (Big Eight, 1988) as the only Huskers to claim conference player-of-the-year awards. As a senior, Hooper became the third first-team All-American in Nebraska history, joining fellow 2,000-point scorers Jennings (1993) and Griffin (2010). A standout on the court, in the classroom and in the community, Hooper was one of five Senior CLASS Award first-team All-Americans. She was a secondteam All-American by the Associated Press before being selected by Tulsa with the No. 13 pick in the WNBA Draft. Hooper led the Big Red to the most successful three-year stretch in school history. NU finished with a 26-7 overall record during Hooper's senior season. The Huskers played for a share of the regular-season Big Ten title in the final game of the year for the second straight season before settling for third with a 12-4 league mark in 2013-14. NU played for a share of the regular-season crown, going 25-9 overall and 12-4 in the Big Ten in 2012-13. As a sophomore, Hooper helped the Huskers to a 24-9 mark and a trip to the Big Ten Tournament title game. After coming up short in those first three championship game appearances, Hooper and the Huskers claimed Nebraska's first-ever conference tournament title with a 72-65 win over Iowa on March 9, 2014, in Indianapolis. Hooper also led the Big Red to three straight NCAA appearances from 2012 through 2014, including the school's second NCAA Sweet 16 bid in 2013. The 2013 and 2014 Huskers also became the first teams in NU history to win NCAA Tournament games in consecutive seasons. Overall, Nebraska averaged 25 wins per season in Hooper's last three years. Prior to her arrival as a two-time Nebraska Gatorade High School Player of the Year (2008, 2010), only one Husker team had ever won more than 23 games in a season. A three-time All-American by both the WBCA and the Associated Press, Hooper was a three-time candidate for the Wade and Naismith trophies. She was a finalist for the Wade and Wooden awards in 2014. She was a three-time first-team All-Big Ten and a two-time Big Ten AllTournament choice. Hooper was also a three-time academic All-Big Ten selection and NU's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner in 2014. As a senior, Hooper averaged 20.4 points and 9.1 rebounds to push her career averages to 18.0 points and 8.5 boards per game. She started all 131 games of her career to rank third in NU history, while becoming one of just three Huskers to play 4,000 career minutes. The first pick of the second round of the 2014 WNBA Draft by Tulsa, Hooper averaged 5.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game as a rookie,

before helping the Shock to the playoffs in her second WNBA season. She played for the Dallas Wings in 2016, before splitting time with Connecticut, Atlanta and Chicago in 2017. Hooper played for Besiktas (Turkey) in 2014-15, averaging 13.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Hooper played 15 games for Atenienses de Manat in Puerto Rico before starring for Southeast Queensland in Australia's WNBL in 2015-16. She ranked third in the league with 18.5 points and seventh in the league with 8.6 rebounds per game. She went back to Turkey to play for the University of Istanbul Club in 2016-17, averaging 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds over 25 games, before returning to the WNBL to average 11.8 points and 5.0 rebounds for the Canberra Capitals in 2017-18. In 2018-19, Hooper played professionally in Israel for Holon, averaging 18.1 points and 8.6 rebounds while hitting 37.7 percent of her threes. In 23 games in 2019-20, she averaged 13.0 points and 9.7 rebounds while hitting 41.5 percent of her threes for Ramat Hasharon in Israel. Hooper earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Nebraska in May of 2014.
