How to Watch No. 23 Nebraska Women's Basketball vs. Cal Baptist with Preview, Breakdown, Streaming

A beacon of light after a disappointing finish to the fall sports season for Nebraska, the Husker women's basketball team keeps rolling in the 10th season of head coach Amy Williams.

NU continued to beat down its opponents with an 85-44 victory over Illinois State last week at home as Petra Bozan (14), Britt Prince (13), Amiah Hargrove (11), and Eliza Maupin (11) each finished with double digits in a well-balanced attack. The Husker defense suffocated the Redbirds, which was highlighted by ISU's two-point first quarter — a Nebraska program record.

In what is shaping up to be a magical basketball season in Lincoln, NU faces off against a WAC contender to close the book on non-conference action.

Here's all you need to know as Nebraska hosts Cal Baptist in game one of a Sunday doubleheader at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Outlook

Coming off their fourth-straight 20-plus win season in six years of being in Division I — plus their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance — head coach Jarrod Olson and Cal Baptist were humbled in a lowly 12-19 season last year.

Omaha native and Millard South graduate Khloe Lemon was one of a few bright spots for the Lancers in 2024-2025, recovering from an injury to average 18.5 points in the final 16 games last year to earn All-WAC Second Team honors. She was supposed to continue her prolific partnership with returning star forward Grace Schmidt, but the CBU team leader played in just one game before undergoing season-ending knee surgery.

Fellow senior Emma Johansson has stepped up in her place, nearly averaging a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds per contest. A Portuguese U20 National Team member, guard Filipa Barros used a medical redshirt last season after appearing in only two games. She's roared back by also entering double-double territory with 8.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Plus, returning sophomore Shawnee Nordstrom has become the team's most impactful reserve by chipping in nearly six points per game and three rebounds.

Coming off being named the 2024-2025 WAC Freshman of the Year, CeCe Legaspi has struggled in her sophomore follow-up campaign. Her production has been cut in half, dipping from six points and rebounds per game to three. However, 2025-2026 freshman Lauren Olsen has turned in her best effort to give the Lancers that award again. Heralding from Wyoming, she's collecting a team-high 13.5 points per game while being one of only two Lancers to have 20 steals. Graduate guard Chance Bucher has been a good addition from Division II Eckerd College, becoming one of four Lancers scoring in double figures (10.5) in starting all 11 contests. Finally, six-foot freshman guard Reyleight Hess has carved out a role off the bench by adding over four points and two rebounds per game.

The Lancers have held their own in the post as a strong rebounding unit — despite the devastating loss of Schmidt. CBU will be interesting to monitor to see how they compete in the WAC, but Nebraska should end non-conference play with another blowout win, even if there's rust to shake off after a seven-day rest.
