Nebraska Women's Basketball Dominates Northwestern
In the first home game since upsetting then-No. 2 Iowa, Nebraska women's basketball got a no-doubter.
NU (18-9, 10-6 Big Ten) dominated Northwestern (8-18, 3-12 Big Ten) Tuesday night, 75-50. The win keeps Nebraska in the top four of the league with two games left in the regular season.
The Wildcats scored first, but a pair of Logan Nissley 3s sparked a 16-0 run in response. Nebraska never looked back from there, leading by as much as 26 in the process.
Nebraska shot 44.4% for the game, including 9-of-24 from 3. Northwestern managed just 29.8% shooting, knocking down 5-of-14 triples.
Four Huskers scored in double figures, led by Natalie Potts with 18. Potts completed a double-double with 10 rebounds.
Also notching a double-double was Alexis Markowski, with her 12 points and 10 rebounds. That gives her 16 on the season, tied for second on NU's single-season list with Nafeesah Brown (1993-94), and 37 in her career, moving her into sole possession of third on the all-time Husker chart behind the 40 double-doubles by both Kelsey Griffin (2006-10) and Jordan Hooper (2011-14).
Nebraska stays home to face Minnesota on Saturday.
