Nebraska had lost four straight games before a road win vs a ranked Northwestern team earlier this week. The Huskers learned that they can win even when the other team puts a lot of effort into stopping Sam Haiby. In the win vs the Wildcats, Kate Cain came up big (pun intended) as she had a perfect night from the field and free throw line (22 points) and scored the 1000th point in her Husker career.
Penn State women’s basketball (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) fell to No. 14 Maryland (6-1, 2-0 Big Ten) 96-82 at home on New Year’s Eve Thursday afternoon.
Maddie Burke led the scoring category for the Lady Lions off the bench with a career-high 24 points on 8-for-16 shooting. The freshman scored 21 of her points from behind the arc, nailing a career-high seven three-pointers in the contest.
Senior Kelly Jekot added another double-double to her season total with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Despite an array of impressive individual efforts, the potent Maryland offensive attack was too strong for Carolyn Kieger’s young squad.
