LINCOLN, Neb. (Interstat) — The Nebraska women’s basketball team showcased its depth and defensive dominance in a commanding 87-35 victory over in-state foe Omaha on Tuesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Cornhuskers, one of 10 remaining undefeated teams in NCAA Division I, improved to 10-0. The Mavericks fell to 1-9, continuing a difficult non-conference slate. The most important part of the game was Nebraska’s overwhelming defensive pressure, which completely stifled Omaha from the opening tip. The Cornhuskers forced 27 Mavericks turnovers, converting them into 33 points, and held Omaha to a season-low offensive output. The Mavericks managed just 15 field goals on 45 attempts, a 33.3% clip, and were an ice-cold 1 for 18 from 3-point range. Nebraska’s 17 steals, led by five from Britt Prince, fueled a relentless transition attack and prevented Omaha from ever establishing an offensive rhythm. Callin Hake led a balanced Nebraska scoring effort with 17 points, hitting five 3-pointers, and added six assists. Jessica Petrie provided a strong interior presence with 14 points and two blocks, while Amiah Hargrove filled the stat sheet with 11 points, three assists and three steals. Petra Bozan came off the bench to contribute eight points and five rebounds. Omaha was led by Sarai Estupiñan’s 10 points and two assists. Daria Shelby added seven points. The Mavericks’ 35 points marked their second-lowest total of the season. Nebraska seized control with a 26-7 second-quarter blitz, turning a 20-15 lead after one period into a 46-22 halftime advantage. The Cornhuskers shot 13 for 40 from beyond the arc and dished out 17 assists on 35 made baskets, demonstrating crisp ball movement against Omaha’s defense. The Cornhuskers also dominated the glass, outrebounding Omaha 52-30, including an 18-9 edge on the offensive boards that led to 19 second-chance points. Nebraska’s defensive intensity never waned, holding Omaha to single-digit scoring in both the second and fourth quarters. The Mavericks’ 35 points from 68 possessions resulted in an offensive rating of just 51.3, a testament to the Cornhuskers’ suffocating defense at every level. The announced attendance was 4,318. Omaha travels to face Western Illinois on Saturday. Nebraska continues its homestand Sunday against Illinois State.

OMAHA, Neb. (Interstat) — A stark contrast in trajectories will be on display Tuesday night when the winless-on-the-road Omaha Mavericks visit the undefeated and No. 1-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in a women’s nonconference basketball matchup at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Huskers (9-0), coming off a 101-83 road victory over Penn State, have established themselves as a national powerhouse, averaging 87.2 points per game. Their high-octane offense is led by guard Amiah Hargrove, who is averaging 14.7 points in just 21.1 minutes per game. Hargrove scored 26 points in 22 minutes against Penn State. Omaha (1-8) seeks to end an eight-game skid, with its sole victory coming in the season opener. The Mavericks are 0-7 away from home and are allowing opponents an average of 76.6 points. Their challenge is monumental against a Nebraska team winning by an average margin of 30.2 points. The Mavericks will lean heavily on guard Sarai Estupiñan, who has been a bright spot during the losing streak. She is averaging 17.1 points and 3.6 assists per game, including a 23-point, 5-assist performance in Saturday’s 71-60 home loss to Northern Colorado. Nebraska’s balance extends beyond Hargrove. Guard Britt Prince averages 13.8 points and 5.4 assists, while Logan Nissley adds 12.6 points per game. The Huskers have surpassed 90 points four times this season. For Omaha, containing Nebraska’s transition game and finding consistent secondary scoring behind Estupiñan will be critical. Forward Ali Stephens, who had 14 points and 7 rebounds against Northern Colorado, will be needed inside. This intrastate matchup marks the final tune-up for Nebraska before it hosts Illinois State on Sunday. Omaha continues a difficult road stretch, traveling to Western Illinois on Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST Tuesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.
