North Platte, Neb. – North Platte Community College stretches their win streak to seven games with a 76-66 win over Lamar Community College on Tuesday night.

Nevaeh Golden led the Knights with 18 points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field. Jada Thompson added 15 points and four assists, while Zaily Mazarin chipped in 15 points and seven rebounds.

"We found a way to win tonight and that’s what matters this late in the season," said head coach Jeff Thurman. "Proud of our defensive effort and stops in the fourth quarter.”

North Platte opened the game with the first five points of the match up. Lamar pulled back within two on a long-range jumper by Ana Zesati with 2:58 remaining. Neveah Golden responded by connecting on a three pointer to trigger a 10-4 run to end the first quarter.

A bucket-for-bucket battle for the entirety of the second quarter helped extend the lead to 34-24 at the halftime break.

Lamar erupted in the opening minutes of the second half with a 15-2 rally to knot the game up at 40-40. Madison Cheleen broke the deadlock with a jumper in transition to ignite an 8-3 run over the next 2:20. The Runnin’ Lopes kept pace and managed to cut the margin to four headed into the final ten minutes.

The lead changed hands eight times in the fourth quarter, until a late 10-2 run secured the win for North Platte.

Knights (17-10, 3-0 Region IX) will host Central Community College for their final Region IX regular season matchup on Saturday. Tip is scheduled for 2 p.m. inside McDonald-Belton Gymnasium.

Ogallala Girls upset #4 Gothenburg 65-63 on the road 

Story by NU Athletic Communications

Lincoln&nbsp;- Alberte Rimdal scored a season-high 20 points off the bench, but it was not enough to prevent Iowa from running to an 81-66 win over the Nebraska women's basketball team at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Monday night.

Lucy Olsen led Iowa with a season-high 32 points&nbsp;to go with six rebounds and seven assists, as the Hawkeyes earned a season split with the Huskers after the Big Red defeated Iowa 87-84 in overtime at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Jan. 16.

Nebraska slipped to 16-8 overall and 7-6 in the Big Ten with its third consecutive loss, while Iowa improved to 17-7 and 7-6 in the conference with its fifth straight win.

Alexis Markowski contributed 15 points, while Logan Nissley put three Huskers in double figures with 11 points on 3-of-7 three-point shooting.&nbsp;

Taylor McCabe scored all 17 of her points in the second half for Iowa, including five three-pointers, while Sydney Affolter put three Hawkeyes in double figures with 13 points.

As a team, Nebraska hit 45 percent (18-40) of its shots from the field, including 41.2 percent (7-17) three-pointers, while knocking down 79.3 percent (23-29) of its free throws. The Hawkeyes dictated things at the defensive end by holding the Huskers in place, showing they were willing to play a physical style early. Iowa committed 25 fouls compared to just 18 for the Huskers on the night, while NU attempted 29 free throws compared to just 14 for Iowa.

However, it put Iowa in foul trouble early as Hannah Stuelke, Addison O'Grady and Affolter all picked up two first-quarter fouls.

Iowa, which jumped to an early 11-2 lead, allowed just four first-quarter field goals and four free throws to take a 16-13 lead at the end of the period. Olsen led Iowa with 12 points in the period.

Nebraska scored its first six points of the second quarter at the free throw line, before freshman Petra Bozan scored five straight points to tie the game at 24 with 5:52 left in the first half. However, Iowa answered Nebraska's 7-0 run with a 9-0 run to rebuild its biggest lead of the first half at 33-24.

The Huskers finished out the second quarter strong to cut the margin to 38-35 at halftime after Amiah Hargrove's three-pointer with 15 seconds left.

NU cut the margin to 41-39 on a Markowski bucket with 7:33 left in the third, but Iowa began pulling away again, rebuilding the nine-point margin at 52-43 on an Olsen three-pointer with 3:43 left.

Nebraska got a pair of free throws from Rimdal to cut the lead back to 52-46 with 1:49 left, before back-to-back three-pointers by McCabe and Affolter gave Iowa its first double-digit lead at 58-46. Olsen capped an 8-0 Iowa run to end the third with two more points with 20 seconds left to send the Hawkeyes to the fourth quarter with a 60-46 lead.

The Huskers, who erased an 11-point fourth-quarter lead in the final six minutes in Iowa City to send the game to overtime, could not find similar magic on Monday night, as the Hawkeyes closed out the 81-66 win.

Iowa finished 30-of-63 (.476) from the field, including a sizzling 12-for-24 from long range. The Hawkeyes out-rebounded the Huskers, 31-29, and won the turnover battle, 15-10.&nbsp;

The Huskers return to Big Ten road action by traveling to nationally ranked Maryland on Thursday night. Tip-off with the Terrapins is set for 5:30 p.m. (CT) with live television coverage by the Big Ten Network. The game can also be heard across the Huskers Radio Network and on Huskers.com.

Huskers finish in Fifth at PRC Championships

Lincoln, Neb. –&nbsp;Behind a double-double from&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/brice-williams">Brice Williams</a>, Nebraska won its fourth straight with a 79-71 win over Ohio State Sunday afternoon at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Huskers (16-8, 6-7 Big Ten) overcome an eight-point second-half deficit, out-scoring Ohio State, 45-32 in the final 20 minutes.

Williams led three Huskers in double figures with 24 points and a season-high 10 rebounds, as he posted his first double-double of the season and sixth of his career.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/juwan-gary">Juwan Gary</a>&nbsp;(19) and&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/berke-buyuktuncel">Berke Büyüktuncel</a>&nbsp;(15) also finished in double figures, as Nebraska shot 51.9 percent from the field and had 15 assists to just 10 turnovers.

Gary scored 13 of his 19 points in the second half after sitting most of the first half with foul trouble, while Büyüktuncel hit a trio of 3-pointers grabbed six boards and dished out three assists in his best performance of the season.

Nebraska trailed 42-34 in the opening minutes of the second half before the Huskers responded with an 8-0 run to get the Pinnacle Bank Arena crowd on their feet. Gary scored NU’s first five points before Büyüktuncel’s 3-pointer knotted the score at 42-all with just over 17 minutes left.

The Huskers would take control with an 11-0 run, turning a 48-44 deficit into a 55-48 lead on Williams’ 3-point play, the last of five straight points by the senior. The run was sparked by a pair of hustle plays, a putback from&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/connor-essegian">Connor Essegian</a>&nbsp;to tie the game before&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/andrew-morgan">Andrew Morgan</a>’s diving steal and eventual basket gave NU a 52-50 lead it would not relinquish.

Ohio State (14-10, 6-7 Big Ten) would come right back, using an 8-2 run of their own to pull within 58-56 after 3-pointers from Micah Parrish and John Mobley Jr with 6:25 remaining.

Leading 62-60, a 3-pointer from&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/rollie-worster">Rollie Worster</a>&nbsp;off a timeout, and a Williams jumper on the next possession extended the Husker lead to seven, at 67-60, with 2:28 left. From there, the Huskers held on, going 6-of-6 from the line and using a pair of Gary dunks off the press to stretch the lead to 11 before closing out the eight-point win.

Nebraska went 18-of-21 from the foul line, including 15-of-17 in the second half.

Parish led Ohio State with 30 points, including five 3-pointers, while Mobley Jr. added 21, including 5-of-10 from beyond the arc. NU limited Brice Thronton to just nine points in 39 minutes after he had 31 points in OSU’s comeback against Maryland on Thursday. ‘

In the first half Nebraska trailed 10-8 before battling back with a 13-2 spurt to build a 21-12 lead after a Williams basketball at the 12:23 mark. Williams had six of his 13 first-half points in the run.

The Buckeyes carried behind Parrish, who scored eight straight OSU points, including a 3-point play that pulled OSU to within 25-20. Nebraska eventually led 27-20, but OSU used a 7-0 spurt to take a 32-29 lead on a Mobley jumper. NU, which had four players pick up a pair of first half fouls, stayed close by getting a major contribution from&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/player/braxton-meah">Braxton Meah</a>, as the senior scored all five of his points to pull NU within 36-34, with 2:36 left in the half.

NU, which shot 52 percent in the first half, cooled off after a hot start and had just one field goal in the final seven minutes and went to the locker room trailing 39-34 before mounting a second-half comeback for the second straight game.

Nebraska will host No. 18 Maryland this Thursday, Feb. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network and available with audio coverage from the Husker Radio Network. Tickets are available by visiting Huskers.com/Tickets.

Girls Wrestling Districts begin today

Lincoln&nbsp;- Alexis Markowski produced her eighth double-double of the season and 48th of her career with game highs of 21 points and 11 rebounds, but visiting Michigan used a huge second quarter to run to a 78-60 victory over the Nebraska women's basketball team at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Thursday night.

With the loss, Nebraska slipped to 16-7 overall and 7-5 in the Big Ten, while Michigan improved to 16-7 and 7-5 in the league.

Markowski was a bright spot for the Huskers, while freshman Britt Prince added 10 points, three rebounds and three assists. Jessica Petrie pitched in six points, while Callin Hake and Kendall Coley each contributed five points for the Huskers. Kendall Moriarty, Logan Nissley and Petra Bozan all contributed four points in a sluggish offensive effort for the Big Red.

Greta Kampschroeder led three Wolverines in double figures with 16 points, including a career-high-tying five three-pointers. Jordan Hobbs added a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Syla Swords contributed 15 points, five rebounds and five assists.

The difference in the game for Michigan came largely at the three-point line, where Michigan hit 9-of-21 from beyond the arc, while the Huskers hit just 3-of-15, accounting for the 18-point margin in the game.

The Huskers hit just 37.3 percent (22-59) overall from the floor and just 13-of-21 free throws (.619). The Huskers were 19-of-38 (.500) from inside the arc, while Michigan was 19-for-39. Both teams pulled down 38 rebounds on the night, while Michigan hit 13-of-18 free throws. The Wolverines also won the turnover battle, 17-13, including a lopsided 14-4 margin in the first half.

Michigan took control by erupting on an 18-0 run during a five-minute stretch spanning the first and second quarters to build a 42-21 halftime lead.

Nebraska struggled through its roughest half of the season, committing 14 turnovers and hitting just 8-of-28 (.286) first-half shots to fall behind the Wolverines. The Huskers, who trailed 15-14 with just 30 seconds left in the first half, got outscored 24-7 in the second quarter.

Markowski led the Big Red with 10 points and four rebounds in the half, but hit just 3-of-9 shots from the field, including one of Nebraska's two three-pointers. Prince managed six points on 3-of-9 shooting of her own, but the rest of the Huskers managed just five total points.

Swords led all scorers with 12 first-half points, including 10 in the final six minutes of the half. Hobbs added eight points and Te'Yala Delfosse scored the first six points of the second quarter to give the Wolverines their first double-digit lead. Michigan had eight different players score in the first half, as the Wolverines hit 16-of-33 shots (.485), including 4-of-9 threes.

Nebraska bolted out of the locker room to start the second half, using an 8-0 run to quickly cut the lead to 42-29 with 8:05 left in the third. After a Michigan timeout, Kampschroeder calmed things down with a three-pointer, but Markowski answered with a traditional three-point play. After an Olivia Olson bucket for Michigan, Petrie, Markowski and Moriarty combined for five straight points to trim the margin to 47-37 with 5:46 left in the quarter.

Nebraska could get no closer, and a Kampschroeder three ended the scoring in the period to send the Wolverines to the fourth with a 58-42 edge.

Markowski opened the fourth with a quick bucket, but Kampschroeder dashed Nebraska's comeback hopes with back-to-back threes over the next minute to put Michigan back up by 20 points at 64-44.

Huskers Stumble to Wolverines

The No. 19 Nebraska softball team scored five two-out runs in the fifth inning en route to a 7-1 victory over the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers on Thursday night at the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Clearwater, Fla.&nbsp;

<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/softball/roster/player/jordy-bahl">Jordyn Bahl</a> made her return for the Huskers and collected the win in the circle. The Papillion, Neb., native tossed a complete-game five-hitter and allowed only one run. Bahl (1-0) also totaled seven strikeouts and did not walk a batter. She won a battle of first-team All-Americans as Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens (0-1) took the loss.

Offensively, NU got a runner on base in six of its seven innings and enjoyed six hits, three of which came from <a href="https://huskers.com/sports/softball/roster/player/samantha-bland">Samantha Bland</a>, who had a double and two RBIs in addition to going 3-for-3. Bahl notched the first home run of her career - a two-run shot - to cap Nebraska's five-run fifth inning.

Tennessee opened up the scoring in the bottom of the fourth inning when a Sophia Nungent hit a two-out bloop double that scored Zoie Shuler, giving the Vols a 1-0 edge.

Nebraska answered back in the top of the fifth. After the first two hitters were retired, <a href="https://huskers.com/sports/softball/roster/player/abbie-squier">Abbie Squier</a> singled before <a href="https://huskers.com/sports/softball/roster/player/lauren-camenzind">Lauren Camenzind</a> reached on a Tennessee error.

No. 19 Huskers upset No. 6 Volunteers in season opener

Story by UNK Athletic Communications

Kearney, Neb. –&nbsp;The fourth-ranked Nebraska Kearney wrestling team had eight bonus point victories and a forfeit to overwhelm Newman, 54-0, Thursday night in Wichita.

The Lopers (9-6, 3-0) improve to 15-0 all-time against the Jets (1-6, 1-3) with the last five duals by a tally of 220-12. The 54-point margin of victory is UNK's biggest since a 55-0 decision over a club team from Texas-Arlington in 2009-10.

The match of the night came at 165-pounds where sixth-ranked&nbsp;Trenton Munoz&nbsp;(Santa Clarita, Calif.) edged 13th-ranked Jace Fisher, 4-2. Fisher came in with a 20-3 record, but Munoz tallied a second period take down and a third period escape to win by two. He is now 15-4 on the winter.&nbsp;

At 125-pounds, second-ranked&nbsp;Zach Ourada&nbsp;(Omaha Skutt) returned to action after an injury break and promptly recorded a fall in just 1:36. Fifth-ranked&nbsp;Jackson Kinsella&nbsp;(Creston, Ia.) almost matched that time with a pin at 1:42 with top-ranked&nbsp;Crew Howard&nbsp;(Clarinda, Ia.) working over Caleb Wunsch, 18-2. Wunsch came in leading D2 in falls against D2 competition (12) and ranking sixth in point average (3.95).

UNK has a much tougher test Friday night against the fifth-ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos. UCO got past UNK, 22-14, at the Nationals Duals back in January.
