The Huskers improved to 5-0 at PBA this season with an 84-38 win over Kansas City last Tuesday. Callin Hake scored 16 points and drained a career-high five three-pointers to lead five Huskers in double figures against the Roos. Alberte Rimdal added 15 points on 3-of-5 three-point shooting, as the Huskers knocked down 12 three-pointers on the night against Kansas City.
Alexis Markowski notched her second straight double-double and third of the season with 10 points and a game-high 10 rebounds against Kansas City. Markowski owns the Nebraska record with 43 career double-doubles. The 6-3 All-America candidate from Lincoln increased her career rebound total to 1,011, and she needs eight rebounds against Lindenwood to catch Kelsey Griffin at No. 4 on the Husker all-time list. The Naismith, Wooden and Lisa Leslie Award candidate also ranks No. 14 on Nebraska’s career scoring list with 1,468 points.
Britt Prince produced her fifth double-figure scoring effort in her first six games by adding 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting against Kansas City. Prince needs 15 points to become the first freshman point guard in Nebraska history to total 100 points in her first seven games. She would become just the sixth player overall in NU history to reach 100 points in seven or fewer games. Prince is averaging 14.2 points, 3.8 assists and a team-best 1.8 steals per game. Last year, Nebraska Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts reached 100 points in her eighth game, while 2022 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Alexis Markowski totaled 100 points in her 12th game.
Natalie Potts, the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, is out for the season after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the second quarter of a win over North Alabama (Nov. 19). Through NU’s first four games, Potts was NU’s leading scorer (17.5 ppg) and rebounder (8.0 rpg). She is scheduled to undergo surgery on Dec. 4 and is expected to regain the season of eligibility.

Scouting The Lindenwood Lions
• Amy Eagan is leading an improved Lindenwood squad in her second season as the Lion head coach.

In three seasons as the head coach at Drury, Eagan posted an 87-9 record, while leading the Panthers to an NCAA D-II runner-up finish in 2021.
• The heart of the Lion lineup is made up of sophomores, including four starters and Lindenwood’s top two contributors off the bench.

Odom, who is in her second season at Lindenwood after transferring from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, is averaging 8.0 points and 5.2 rebounds. In 2022-23, Odom scored two points at the free throw line in 11 minutes in a 73-44 loss to Nebraska at the Puerto Rico Clasico in San Juan (Nov. 25, 2022).

Husker Numbers to Watch
