Nebraska Women's Basketball Trounces Omaha

LINCOLN—As Han Solo said to C-3PO in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, "Never tell me the odds!"

That's exactly how Omaha began the game, leading 4-0 and then forcing a Nebraska timeout, leading 10-3. The Mavericks entered the game as 62.5-point underdogs, but played with the energy expected of even the most-favored teams.

Out of the timeout, Nebraska coach Amy Williams elected to turn up the pressure, and her team answered. A 10-0 run put the Big Red ahead for the first time. The game would be tied a minute later, but the Huskers never trailed the rest of the way.

The Big Red built a five-point lead by the end of the first quarter, growing that to 24 points at halftime. That difference expanded to 38 points after three quarters, finishing with an 87-35 Husker win.

Nebraska stays perfect at 10-0. The Huskers have put together just the fourth double-digit winning streak in program history.

Omaha (1-9) is now 10 games into what appears to be a long season. With the only win of the year, so far, coming against St. Mary (Neb.), an NAIA program, the Mavericks are turning to the rest of the student population for help by holding open tryouts this next week.

Husker senior Callin Hake led all scorers with 17 points, adding six assists and a pair of steals. Jessica Petrie (14 points) and Amiah Hargrove (11 points) also scored in double figures.

Nebraska stays home this weekend to host Illinois State. Sunday's game with the Redbirds is set for 11 a.m. on B1G+.
