Huskers Shoot for Season Sweep of Cyclones on Tuesday The No. 25 Nebraska women’s basketball team (21-6, 9-4) returns to Big 12 road action on Tuesday to take aim at a season series sweep of Iowa State (19-7, 7-6). Tip-off is set for 7 p.m., with live television coverage provided in the state of Nebraska by Fox Sports Midwest (Channel 37 in Lincoln, Channel 47 in Omaha) with Greg Sharpe and Brenda Van Lengen calling the action. Live video of the game will also be available for free on Huskers.com from FSN Midwest. Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will call the action in Nebraska’s live radio broadcast on 98.1-FM KFGE in Lincoln, 1110-AM KFAB in Omaha and 880-AM KRVN in Lexington, along with select Husker Sports Network stations and on Huskers.com (free). Nebraska will try to bounce back from its first back-to-back losses of the season. The Huskers suffered a 70-69 loss to Texas Tech in Lincoln on Feb. 17, before falling 65-53 to Missouri in Lincoln on Saturday. The loss to the Tigers, who have won seven straight games against the Huskers in Lincoln, ended Nebraska’s 10-game regular-season winning streak against Big 12 North foes. NU is 7-1 against North Division teams this year with sweeps of Kansas and Kansas State. Despite last week’s losses, the Huskers are still in the midst of one of their best seasons in school history. They have produced their 10th 20-win season, and their first 20-win campaign since 1998-99, when they went 21-12. The school-record for victories is 23, achieved on four occasions. Nebraska, which has not swept a season series from Iowa State since 1995, has been outstanding on the road this season. The Huskers own a 12-2 record away from the Devaney Center with their only losses coming in the season opener to No. 13 Arizona State and by one point to Big 12 co-leader Texas A&M. The Huskers are 5-1 on the road in Big 12 play, including 4-0 in road games against Big 12 North foes.

Huskers Fall to Missouri in Front of Season-High Crowd No. 19 Nebraska hit just three field goals in the final 16:33, as Missouri used a suffocating defense to erase a seven-point Husker lead and hand NU a 65-53 loss in front of a season-high 7,821 fans at the Devaney Center on Saturday. The loss marked the first time this season that Nebraska has dropped back-to-back games, as the Huskers slipped to 21-6 overall and 9-4 in the Big 12, while Missouri improved to 16-10 and 4-9 in the league with its second straight conference win. Kelsey Griffin led the Huskers with 16 points and six rebounds, while Kiera Hardy added 12 points, but MU’s Carlynn Savant led all scorers with 17 points and 13 rebounds, and EeTisha Riddle contributed 16 points, including 14 in the final 11 minutes in the win. Nebraska scored just two points in 8:42 after jumping to its biggest lead of the game at 40-33 in the first 3:27 of the second half. Despite being shut out for more than five minutes, the Huskers still held a 42-35 lead after a Cory Montgomery basket with 11:01 left. But Riddle sparked a 10-0 Tiger run over the next three minutes, scoring eight points capped by a three-pointer to give MU a 45-42 lead with 8:09 left. Jelena Spiric stopped the run with a pair of free throws, and the Huskers remained within one at 49-48 after a Griffin free throw with 4:38 left. Savant got a layup and Riddle hit two more free throws to match Missouri’s biggest lead of the game up to that point at 53-48 with 2:52 left. Hardy cut Missouri’s lead to three with a pair of free throws, before Alyssa Hollins answered with two more free throws. Then Tiffany Brooks, who scored Missouri’s first 11 points in the game, forced a travel by Hardy and Savant gave the Tigers the biggest lead of the game for either team at 58-50 with a three-pointer with 1:52 left. The Tigers, the third-best free throw shooting team in the nation, hit five straight free throws down the stretch to seal the win, outscoring NU at the line 14-7 in the second half. Along with the discrepancy at the free throw line, the Tigers enjoyed a 44-32 advantage on the boards, including 17 offensive rebounds. Both teams committed 19 turnovers, and NU shot just 36 percent (18-50) from the field, while hitting just three of its last 21 shots. Missouri didn’t fare much better from the field, hitting just 36.8 percent (21-57), but did connect on 5-of-11 three-pointers while NU hit just 2-of-10. It was Missouri’s seventh consecutive victory in Lincoln in the series with Nebraska, while the Huskers have won four straight in Columbia. In a first half that featured six ties and 11 lead changes, neither team led by more than two possessions and the Huskers and Tigers went to the locker room tied at 29. Griffin led the Huskers with nine first-half points, while Danielle Page and TK LaFleur each gave NU a lift with four first-half points. Brooks scored Missouri’s first 11 points in the opening seven minutes, but did not score the rest of the game. Jessra Johnson also gave the Tigers a boost off the bench with six first-half points on a pair of three-pointers, but was shut out in the second half.

Scouting the Iowa State Cyclones Since opening Big 12 play with a 1-3 mark that included losses at Missouri, at Colorado and at home to Oklahoma State, Iowa State has rebounded for a 6-3 record to remain in the hunt for a top-four seed at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Since losing to Nebraska, 62-49, in Lincoln on Jan. 31, Iowa State has won three of four, including a 61-54 victory over Big 12 co-leader Texas A&M. ISU’s only loss came with an 81-64 setback at Baylor, just days after the Huskers defeated the Lady Bears, 76-67. Iowa State has been successful despite being hindered somewhat by a concussion suffered by starting point guard Lyndsey Medders, who did not play in the first meeting with NU. Medders sustained the injury in shoot-around the day of the game in Lincoln and has been limited at times since then, but has continued to help the Cyclones. The All-Big 12 guard is averaging 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and a team-leading 6.5 assists per game. Sophomore Nicky Wieben leads ISU’s inside game with 12.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and a team-best 1.8 blocks per game, while junior college transfer Toccara Ross has added an explosive presence on the wing with 11.4 points and a team-leading 7.6 rebounds per game. Senior Megan Ronhovde is the only Cyclone to start all 26 games this season and is averaging 7.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. She has hit 37 three-pointers, trailing only Medders’ 42 and Heather Ezell’s 40 among the

Cyclones. Freshman Alison Lacey rounds out ISU’s probable starting five by averaging 7.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Lacey, a 6-0 guard from Canberra, Australia, has added 31 threes while shooting 38.3 percent from long range. Ezell, a sophomore guard, leads ISU off the bench with 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Rachel Pierson, a 6-3 redshirt freshman center, has contributed 5.1 points and 3.4 boards per game, while shooting 47.8 percent from the field. She has hit just 23-of-43 free throws. The Cyclones have also received contributions from Shellie Mosman, Amanda Nisleit, Anna Florzak and Gillian Bjerke throughout the season. Iowa State is 14-1 in Hilton Coliseum this season with its only loss coming in a 45-44 setback to Oklahoma State on Jan. 13. Since that loss, Iowa State had defeated Texas, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas A&M and Colorado in Ames by an average of 10 points per game.

Nebraska vs. Iowa State Series History Nebraska leads the all-time series with Iowa State, 36-29, including a 19-10 lead in the series in Lincoln, with four straight home wins at the Devaney Center. In the Huskers’ 62-49 win over ISU on Jan. 31, Kelsey Griffin, Kiera Hardy and Jelena Spiric scored in double figures to lead Nebraska. As a team, NU set a school record for the best free throw percentage in a game by hitting all 16 of its attempts, surpassing a 15-for-15 effort against Oklahoma State on Jan. 14, 1989. The Huskers held the Cyclones, who were playing without All-Big 12 point guard Lyndsey Medders because of a concussion, to just seven points during a 14-minute stretch midway through the game. NU used a 7-0 run to close the half and an 8-0 run late in the second half to build an 18-point lead with 3:22 left. The Huskers also held ISU without a three-pointer for a 33-minute stretch during the game. Away from the Devaney Center, Iowa State has gained an advantage in the series, owning a 15-13 lead at Hilton Coliseum. The two teams have split eight games on neutral courts. While the Huskers have played nearly .500 basketball all-time away from the Devaney Center against ISU, the Cyclones have dominated recently with nine straight wins at Hilton Coliseum and three more on neutral courts. Nebraska has not defeated Iowa State outside of Lincoln since Jan. 30, 1997.

Huskers Post 10th 20-Win Campaign, First Under Yori Nebraska secured its 10th 20-win season in school history with its 62-55 victory at Kansas State on Feb. 7, before posting win No. 21 at Colorado on Feb. 10. NU’s 20-win campaign is its first since 1998-99, when the Huskers finished with a 21-12 record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in Los Angeles. It is Nebraska’s first 20-win campaign under fifth-year coach Connie Yori, who led the Huskers to 19 wins in 2005-06 and a pair of 18-win seasons in 2003-04 and 2004-05. The 2006-07 Huskers achieved 21 wins faster than any team in school history. The 1978-79 NU club earned its 21st win with a 68-61 victory over Missouri on Feb. 19. That win came in the 31st game of the season. Only five teams in Nebraska history have reached the 22-victory mark in a season, with the earliest coming from the 1978-79 squad against South Dakota in a 78-56 win on Feb. 26, 1979. The 1997-98 team added its 22nd win of the year against Iowa State (68-60) on Feb. 28, 1998, the only other time in school history a team has won 22 games before March.

Huskers Shoot for 13th Road Win at Iowa State With a 12-2 record away from the Devaney Center, Nebraska’s .857 road winning percentage is on track to shatter the school mark, which came with a 15-8 mark (.652) in 1975-76.

The Huskers have two regular-season road games and at least one game at the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City left, along with potential postseason road contests. NU had not won 10 road games since earning 11 victories in 1992-93. The 1975-76 Huskers won a school-record 15 games (15-8), while the 1976-77 squad added 14 wins (14-14). Last season, NU posted an 8-9 record away from the Devaney Center, including four wins in the last seven road games. NU has won 16 of its last 21 games away from home. Nebraska is 5-1 in Big 12 road games this season, including its first-ever win at Texas to open league play on Jan. 3. The Huskers won at Kansas (Jan. 13), at Missouri (Jan. 20) and earned their first road win at Kansas State (Feb. 7) since 2001. NU notched just its fourth-ever road win at Colorado (Feb. 10). The Big 12 North is 11-28 in league

road games, with the Huskers owning nearly have the victories. Nebraska’s school-record road winning streak ended at 10 games with a 66-65 loss at No. 21 Texas A&M on Jan. 24. The Huskers had a five-footer to win bounce off the rim as time expired, as the Aggies improved their home record to 11-0 this season. After escaping with their narrowest home win of the year against the Huskers, the Aggies went on the road and ended then-No. 6 Oklahoma’s Big 12-record 26-game league winning streak with a 54-52 victory in Norman on Jan. 27. Nebraska’s previous longest winning streak away from home (away and neutral) came with seven straight road wins in 1976-77 and 1996-97. The Huskers’ 10-1 road start this season also gave NU its best road start in school history, surpassing the 1991-92 team that began the season with a 9-1 road record.

Huskers Displaying Dominance in Big 12 Play Nebraska enters the Iowa State game with a 9-4 Big 12 mark in sole possession of fourth place in the league standings. The Huskers’ success early in the conference season has not been the result of last-second heroics or monumental comebacks. In fact, the Huskers have been dominant in nearly every victory from start to finish. Nebraska did not trail in wins over Colorado (Feb. 10), No. 13 Baylor (Feb. 3) or Iowa State (Jan. 31). NU trailed at Kansas State (Feb. 7) for just 5:00 in the first half and fell behind Kansas (Jan. 27) for just 6:08 in the first half. Over the last 11 games, including a pair of one-point losses to Texas Tech and at Texas A&M and a loss to Missouri, Nebraska has trailed for just 60:52 out of a possible 440 minutes, with 20:04 coming in the loss to Tech on Feb. 14, 16:54 against Missouri and 11:13 at A&M on Jan. 24. In fact, despite losses to A&M and Missouri, the Huskers actually led for more time on the scoreboard than their opponents. The Huskers have led for nearly 310 minutes on the scoreboard over the last 11 games, while the Aggies, Lady Raiders and Tigers are the only teams to own leads after halftime against the Huskers.

Hardy Among 30 Candidates for Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award Nebraska senior Kiera Hardy is one of 30 candidates for the 2007 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, presented to the nation’s top senior basketball player on and off the court. The candidates for the Senior CLASS (Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School) Award were announced on Tuesday, Jan. 16. Hardy, a 5-6 senior guard from Kansas City, Mo., is one of just three Big 12 Conference seniors, joining Iowa State’s Lyndsey Medders and Tiffany Jackson from Texas, who made the list of candidates. The award, which was conceived by legendary sportscaster Dick Enberg, was launched in 2001-02 to honor the attributes of college basketball seniors who remain committed to their university. Finalists will be selected on personal qualities that define a complete student-athlete, including classroom, character and community, as well as the candidate’s performance on the court. A national media committee will choose the 10 finalists for the award in February. A nationwide vote of coaches, media members and fans will take place during the NCAA Tournament in March.

Aubry Leading Big 12 in Three-Point Percentage Forward Chelsea Aubry is enjoying the most prolific long-range shooting success of her career in 2006-07. The senior from Kitchener, Ontario. She has hit 28 of her last 54 three-point attempts (51.9 percent), after missing her first six shots from beyond the arc to open the year. Aubry leads the Big 12 in three-point shooting at 46.7 percent (28-60). Kate Galligan owns NU’s single-season record at 45.6 percent (52-114) in 1995-96. A career 32.6 percent shooter from three-point range entering the season, Aubry has surpassed her previous single-season best with 28 made three-pointers through 27 games this season. Last season, Aubry connected on 27-of-77 (35.1 percent) of her three-point attempts. She has hit 73 three-pointers in her career to become the first forward to crack Nebraska’s all-time top-10 list in that category. She ranks ninth on NU’s all-time three-point list and needs six more to catch Margaret Richards in eighth place with 79. Aubry has scored in double figures 10 times this season, including a career-high 26-point outburst at Missouri on Jan. 20. Aubry is averaging 8.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game on the year.

Huskers Feature Solid Starting Five The Nebraska lineup has showcased the same starting five through each of the first 27 games, with seniors Kiera Hardy, Cheslea Aubry, Jelena Spiric and Ashley Ford joined by sophomore Kelsey Griffin. In 2003-04, Nebraska featured the same starting lineup in all 30 games, as one of just eight schools in the nation to start the same five players every game during the season.

Page Putting Up Big Numbers in Return from Knee Injury Junior Danielle Page has made a major impact off the bench for Nebraska this season. After pouring in a career-high 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field against Kansas on Jan. 27, Page showed her defensive dominance by setting a school record with nine blocked shots, while tying a career high with 11 rebounds in Nebraska’s 76-67 win over No. 13 Baylor on Feb. 3. Page’s effort against the Lady Bears was one of the best individual defensive performances in school history. She tied the previous school record with seven blocks in just 13 first-half minutes, before adding a pair after halftime. She also grabbed nine defensive rebounds.

She added another strong performance with 14 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a block against Texas Tech (Feb. 14), before adding seven points, seven rebounds and two blocks against Missouri (Feb. 17). She is averaging 7.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in Big 12 games this season. Her block average ranks second in the Big 12 behind only 4.0 per game from Oklahoma All-American Courtney Paris. Page has risen to No. 3 on Nebraska’s career block list with 116 in less than three seasons. She has also moved up to No. 2 on NU’s junior single-season block list. She needs 12 blocks to catch Janet Smith’s junior single-season record. Smith owns every individual class block record in school history. Page is just the sixth NU player (seven performances) to reach 40 blocks in a season, and joins Smith as the only Huskers to post 30 or more blocks in three straight seasons. Page owns 47 blocks on the year, with 32 coming in Big 12 action. Page ranks fourth on the team in scoring with 6.7 points per game, while ranking second with 5.3 rebounds per contest. She has scored in double figures five times.

The 6-2 forward from Monument, Colo., made a remarkably fast recovery from an ACL injury in mid-June and returned to a full practice schedule on Monday, Oct. 30. Page who underwent surgery on her right knee on June 29, spent an efficient four months rehabilitating her knee. She was given the green light for full participation before NU’s final exhibition game against UNO (Nov. 4). She was not expected to be ready for a full return until the start of Big 12 play in January, but Page saw game action in NU’s exhibition finale against Nebraska-Omaha. Page showed no ill-effects of her injury, producing 10 points, seven rebounds, one block, one steal and one assist in just 15 minutes off the bench. She has continued to produce for NU. She put together one of the best efforts of her career with 11 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in Nebraska’s win over No. 25 Kansas State (Jan. 17). Page, who registered her second career double-double, scored nine points in the final 7:06 to help the Huskers seal the win over the Wildcats. She added six points, nine rebounds, three blocks and two steals in NU’s win at Missouri (Jan. 20). She has also become one of NU’s most sure-handed players, dishing out a career-high 23 assists with just 29 turnovers. Page had distributed just 17 total assists while turning the ball over 66 times in her first two years.

Griffin Gets it Done at the Free Throw Line Kelsey Griffin leads the Huskers with 106 made free throws on the season and is approaching several marks in the Nebraska record book. The 6-2 forward, who is shooting 74.4 percent from the line in Big 12 play, has tied NU’s sophomore single-season free throw record. She needs just one more made free throws to break the sophomore record held by Nicole Kubik with 106 in 1997-98.

NU’s highest point total of the season came with 394 votes. The Huskers’ No. 19 ranking was their highest since being ranked 19th on Monday, Dec. 28, 1998. The Huskers have been ranked in the AP Top 25 for five straight weeks and six times this season after managing a No. 25 ranking on Feb. 19. NU re-entered the AP Top 25 on Jan. 22 at the No. 25 spot with 128 total points. The Huskers made their first appearance in the national polls this season with a No. 25 ranking on Dec. 4. Nebraska was ranked No. 16 on Monday, Jan. 5, 1998. NU achieved its highest ranking in school history at No. 12 on Monday, Dec. 1, 1997.

Nebraska’s Attendance on the Rise Nebraska drew its largest crowd of the season with 7,821 fans watching the Huskers take on Missouri at the Devaney Center on Feb. 17. It was NU’s second crowd of the season of more than 7,500, including the Huskers’ largest January crowd in history with 7,727 fans for the Big 12 home opener against No. 8 Oklahoma on Jan. 6. The Huskers added 6,105 fans for “Dollar Days” in a 76-67 win over No. 13 Baylor on Feb. 3. Nebraska’s average home attendance through 13 regular-season home games is 3,983. In six non-conference dates, NU averaged 2,583 fans per game, an increase of more than 20 percent over its 2005-06 non-conference average of 2,126 fans per game. In eight Big 12 Conference home games last season, the Huskers averaged 4,209 fans per contest. In seven Big 12 home games this year, the Huskers are averaging 5,183 fans per game, an increase of more than 23 percent.

Hardy Shoots Toward Top of Big 12 Three-Point Charts Nebraska’s all-time three-point leader, Kiera Hardy has hit 54 of her 152 three-point attempts this season to climb into eighth place on the Big 12’s all-time three-point list with 250. With her next three-pointer, she will move into a tie with former Texas Tech star Rene Hanebutt for seventh place in Big 12 history.

The active Big 12 three-point leader is Erin Higgins, who has hit 257 trifectas in her four-year career. Higgins, who entered the season with 222 threes, has knocked down 35-of-110 threes through Oklahoma’s first 24 games. Hardy ranks third in the Big 12 with 2.00 made three-pointers per game, trailing only Missouri’s Alyssa Hollins (2.15) and Kansas State’s Kimberly Dietz (2.08). Hardy also ranks 10th in the Big 12 in three-point accuracy at 35.5 percent. After hitting a school-record 85 three-pointers as a sophomore in 2004-05, Hardy added 81 threes a year ago while leading the Big 12 with 2.53 made per game. Laurie Koehn from Kansas State owns the Big 12 record with 392 three-pointers in her career from 2001 to 2005. Hardy smashed Nebraska’s three-point record with six three-pointers against Texas on Jan. 18, 2006. She finished the night with 158 threes in 75 games, shooting past current WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge’s previous Nebraska mark of 155 three-pointers in 117 career games.

With seven three-pointers against Iowa on March 21, 2005, Hardy shares Nebraska’s single-game record and has hit six or more three-pointers in a game on five occasions. Hardy did not attempt a three-pointer in Nebraska’s win over Kansas on Jan. 27. It was the first time in 100 games and only the second time in her 118-game career that she did not attempt a three. The only other game she did not take a three-pointer came at Texas Tech on Jan. 21, 2004.

Hardy Among Nebraska’s Scoring Stars Preseason All-American Kiera Hardy is averaging a team-leading 15.7 points per game, including a season-high 32 points in Nebraska’s 72-65 win at USC on Nov. 26. Hardy’s total against the Women of Troy tied for the second-highest scoring mark of her career, trailing only her 37-point performance against eventual national champion Baylor in 2005. Hardy’s fourth 30-point scoring effort of her career pushed her career total beyond 1,500 points with her first basket of the second half. She crossed the 1,800-point scoring mark with her game-high 16 points in NU’s win at Colorado on Feb. 10. She ranks seventh on the Husker all-time scoring list with 1,839 points and needs just five points to pass Debra Powell (1982-85) in the No. 6 spot with 1,843. Hardy needs just 21 points to surpass WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge (1995-98) in the No. 5 position with 1,859 points, and just 29 to pass Nicole Kubik (1997-2000) in No. 4 with 1,867 points. Hardy ranks sixth in the Big 12 in scoring this season, while also tying for 13th in assists (2.81 apg). Hardy is shooting a career-best 41.5 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three-point range.

Aubry Gives NU Strong Presence, Inside and Out A true power forward, Chelsea Aubry has given Nebraska a dangerous threat on the block, on the boards and beyond the arc. The 6-2 senior from Kitchener, Ontario, is averaging 8.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, while leading the Big 12 with her 46.7 percent (28-60) accuracy from three-point range. Aubry has started 85 games in her NU career, including an active streak of 73 straight starts, dating back to a Jan. 29, 2005 win over Kansas. Aubry’s last non-start came at Iowa State on Jan. 22, 2005. Aubry scored a career-high 26 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field in the Huskers’ 76-66 win at Missouri on Jan. 20. She hit both of her three-point attempts and 2-of-3 free throws against the Tigers. She produced double figures for the third straight game with 12 points at No. 21 Texas A&M (Jan. 24). She had 18 points against Michigan (Dec. 9), and had 14 points and a team-leading eight rebounds against Minnesota (Dec. 5). She posted her first double-figure scoring effort of the season with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in a win over Cal State Fullerton (Nov. 17). She tied a career high with 11 boards at Florida (Dec. 29), before grabbing a career-best 12 boards in NU’s win at Kansas State on Feb. 7. She added a 10-point, six-rebound performance in Nebraska’s win over No. 25 Kansas State (Jan. 17). She scored all 10 points in the first half to help the Huskers to a 24-point halftime lead. She has posted back-to-back double-figure scoring efforts 11 points in a win at Colorado (Feb. 10) and 12 against Texas Tech (Feb. 14). Aubry has returned to her natural power forward position this season after unselfishly moving to the three spot last year to compensate for the loss of Jelena Spiric to a knee injury. Aubry’s numbers suffered last season as she adjusted to the wing, but her role as a leader on the team became even more recognizable. Aubry also shows her unselfishness on defense by stepping in to take repeated charges as one of the Huskers’ best interior defenders. A three-year captain, Aubry played for the Canadian National Team at the 2006 World Championships in Brazil, after helping the Canadians earn a spot in the World Championships the previous summer. A member of Nebraska’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and an academic All-Big 12 performer in the classroom, Aubry participated in the NCAA Leadership Conference in 2005.

Spiric Returns from Injury for Senior Season Jelena Spiric has made a successful return to the court after missing the entire 2005-06 season with a knee injury. The 6-0 senior from Belgrade, Serbia, earned a spot on the Veterans Day Classic All-Tournament team with her 13-point, five-rebound performance in the Huskers’ 66-59 win over No. 18 New Mexico on Nov. 13. For the tournament, Spiric averaged 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Spiric had her best Big 12 effort this season with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field in Nebraska’a 62-49 win over Iowa State on Jan. 31. It was Spiric’s third double-figure scoring effort of the season. She produced a solid 11-point effort at Creighton on Dec. 19. Spiric is averaging 6.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. She had nine points, five rebounds, four assists and a career-high-tying five steals against No. 8 Oklahoma on Jan. 6. She had six points, five rebounds and a career-high-tying six assists at Missouri on Jan. 20. Spiric suffered a torn right ACL in practice on Oct. 18, 2005, just days after the start of fall practice. Spiric’s injury sidelined her for the duration of her second season at Nebraska. An outstanding student and experienced international player, Spiric considered returning to Europe to pursue a professional career after earning her bachelor’s degree as a biochemistry major in May of 2006. Spiric chose to return for her final season at Nebraska, and the Huskers are planning to make it a memorable one for the 2005 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. As a junior in 2004-05, Spiric averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game on the year, but increased her averages to 9.3 points and 4.6 boards per game in conference action. Spiric was slowed at the start of her Nebraska career after suffering a torn left ACL in the final game of her junior college career at Colby Community College. Spiric earned NJCAA first-team All-America honors in her only season at Colby, averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game. She opened her collegiate career at NCAA Division II UMass-Lowell, averaging 8.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game for the River Hawks as a freshman in 2002-03.

LaFleur Playing Well in Second Season Sophomore TK LaFleur is seeing significant minutes this season after surging down the stretch in her freshman campaign. The 5-8 guard from Houston averaged 7.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in NU’s final 10 games of 2005-06 and had an excellent offseason. LaFleur provides the Huskers with an athletic presence on the wing, along with solid defensive skills, while she continues to expand her offensive game. LaFleur has produced double figures four times as a sophomore, including three straight games (vs. NC State, at Florida, at Texas). She has also pitched in nine first-half points in NU’s win over No. 13 Baylor on Feb. 3, and at least eight points on five other occasions off the bench this year. Through 27 games this season, LaFleur is averaging 5.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game to help NU to a 21-6 record. She has hit 15-of-44 attempts (34.1 percent) from three-point range.

She scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field in NU’s first-ever win at Texas on Jan. 3. She added 11 points and four boards in NU’s win over NC State on Dec. 28, and 10 points and two rebounds in the Huskers’ win over Florida on Dec. 29. She produced the best performance of her career in Nebraska’s 93-53 win over Florida Atlantic on Nov. 12 at the Veterans Day Classic in Tempe, Ariz. LaFleur tied her career highs with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists against the Owls. She scored 12 points and pulled down four boards in the first half alone to power the Huskers to a 30-point halftime lead. Although she did not earn a start in her freshman season, LaFleur averaged nearly 17 minutes per game off the bench, including 21 minutes per contest during the final 10 games. She averaged 5.4 points per game on the year, while ranking third on the team with 20 made three-pointers (32.3 percent).

Huskers Tackle Challenging 2006-07 Schedule After playing 16 games against teams that advanced to postseason play in 2005-06, Nebraska is facing an even more challenging road during the 2006-07 campaign. Nebraska’s regular-season schedule will include 18 games against 2006 postseason qualifiers with seven non-conference games against some of the nation’s best teams. Among the Huskers’ eight road non-conference games this season, six came against 2006 NCAA teams with the Huskers posting a 5-1 mark. With six wins over 2006 postseason clubs in the past eight games, Nebraska is 10-2 on the year against postseason qualifiers. The Huskers dove headfirst into the postseason-caliber action with three games against 2006 NCAA Tournament qualifiers on the road in the opening weekend of the season. Nebraska fell to No. 13 Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz., on Nov. 10, before rebounding with a 93-53 win over 2006 NCAA qualifier Florida Atlantic in the second game of the Veterans Day Classic on Nov. 12. The Huskers faced their third straight 2006 NCAA Tournament squad when they knocked off No. 18 New Mexico, 66-59, in Tempe on Nov. 13. The victory marked Nebraska’s first non-conference road win since defeating No. 16 Western Kentucky on Nov. 20, 1997. On Nov. 26, the Huskers posted their third win of the season over an NCAA Tournament team with a 72-65 victory at USC. The Women of Troy joined Arizona State and New Mexico in advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago.

The Huskers battled 2006 NCAA qualifier Minnesota at the Devaney Center on Dec. 5. The Golden Gophers are the only NCAA team that ventured to Lincoln during the non-conference season. NU closed its preparation for Big 12 play by blowing past perennial ACC power and 2006 NCAA qualifier NC State, 94-74, at the State Farm Classic in Gainesville, Fla., on Dec. 28. The Huskers advanced to the championship game to take on the hosts from Florida on Dec. 29 and powered their way to an 81-73 win. The Gators earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, giving NU a 5-2 mark against 2006 NCAA clubs in non-conference action. While the Huskers played seven of their first 14 games against 2006 postseason qualifiers, their 16-game Big 12 Conference schedule offers more challenges with 11 games against postseason competition. Nebraska opened the Big 12 slate with its first-ever win at perennial national power Texas (79-75). The Huskers played their Big 12 home opener against defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma on Jan. 6. The home game with the Sooners started a stretch of nine straight games against 2006 postseason clubs for the Huskers. NU went 7-2 during the demanding nine-game stretch, which included a 76-67 win over 2005 NCAA and Big 12 champion Baylor at the Devaney Center on Feb. 3, along with sweeps of 2006 WNIT champion Kansas State and WNIT qualifier Kansas, a road win at 2006 NCAA qualifier Missouri (Jan. 20) and a win over WNIT qualifier Iowa State (62-49, Jan. 31). NU’s only other loss during the stretch was a 66-65 setback at No. 21 Texas A&M (Jan. 24), a 2006 NCAA qualifier. Four of Nebraska’s last six conference games will come against teams that did not qualify for postseason a year ago, but are among the most improved teams in the league, including Colorado (2), at Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. NU will also complete Big 12 North series with 2006 tournament qualifiers Iowa State and Missouri. The Huskers opened the final six-game stretch with a 54-44 win at Colorado (Feb. 10). The Huskers honor their four-player senior class on Feb. 27 in the regular-season finale against Colorado, before going to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship at the COX Convention Center in Oklahoma City, March 6-10.

Yori Leading New Growth in Nebraska Program Now in her fifth season at Nebraska, Coach Connie Yori has the Huskers in the middle of an impressive growth stage after a major rebuilding project in 2002. Yori arrived in Lincoln on June 24, 2002, and was left with only a handful of healthy scholarship players and three consecutive losing seasons behind the existing players. After a challenging first season, Yori guided the Huskers to one of the nation’s top turnarounds in 2003-04. Nebraska finished the season with an 18-12 record and the Huskers’ 10-game improvement tied for the ninth-best swing in NCAA Division I women’s basketball in 2003-04. More impressively, NU’s final record came against a powerful schedule that included 19 games against teams that advanced to postseason play. The Huskers raced to a 10-1 non-conference record that included victories over No. 13 Ohio State and eventual WNIT champion Creighton, before notching one of the biggest wins in school history with an 81-63 victory over No. 9 Kansas State in league play. The Huskers finished with a 7-9 record in the Big 12 to finish in a tie for seventh place. NU may have been a two-point loss to Missouri or three-point loss to No. 13 Colorado away from earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. The Huskers made their first postseason appearance since 2000 and played host to a postseason tournament game for the first time since 1993. Nebraska notched just the second home postseason victory in school history with a first-round WNIT win over Drake, before hosting just the third postseason game in school history in the second round against Oregon State. Nebraska continued the momentum in 2004-05 by replacing four senior starters from 2003-04 and finishing with an 18-14 overall mark and its second straight postseason bid. The Huskers’ 8-8 Big 12 mark was their best finish since 2000, and included the biggest victory in school history, a 103-99 triple overtime win over eventual national champion and then-No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 12, 2005. The Huskers also won their first Big 12 Tournament game since the 2000 campaign and continued their climb in the classroom as well. NU posted a team GPA of better than 3.0 during the spring 2005 semester, as 10 Huskers earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Academic Honor. Nebraska kept building in 2005-06 by winning two postseason games for the first time in school history. NU’s 19-13 record also marked the Huskers’ most victories since the 1998-99 campaign. The Huskers finished with an 8-8 league mark and won a game in the Big 12 Championship for the second consecutive season. Perhaps most impressively, the Huskers went 5-0 in regular-season rematches with Big 12 North Division opponents and completed the first three-game sweep of Colorado in school history. Overall, Nebraska posted a 7-3 regular-season mark against Big 12 North foes. The Huskers have already produced a two-game improvement in the win column this year with a 21-6 record and the first 20-win campaign at Nebraska since 1998-99. NU has also secured its first winning conference season since 1999-2000 and are within reach of setting school records for overall wins (23) and conference wins (11). The 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year, Yori led Creighton to a 24-7 overall mark and a 16-2 MVC record in 2001-02 to capture the league’s regular-season and tournament titles. Yori’s success at CU in 2001-02 capped a 170-115 career mark at Creighton. Her teams made two trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1994 and 2002. Before taking over the top job with the Bluejays, Yori led NCAA Division III Loras College to a 25-25 record in two seasons from 1990 to 1992. She also served as an assistant coach at Creighton from 1986 to 1989.

Huskers Leap to Froggy For the first time, all of Nebraska’s women’s basketball games this season will be available on the same Husker Sports Network station in Lincoln, Froggy 98.1 FM-KFGE. All of Nebraska’s regular-season games are available on KFGE. In the past, the women’s basketball team’s primary station in Lincoln has been 1400 AM-KLIN, the sister station of KFGE. Nebraska’s games carried on the entire Husker Sports Network were aired on KLIN, but if conflicts with football, men’s basketball or volleyball existed, the women’s basketball games were moved to KFGE, forcing Husker fans in Lincoln to search their radio dials for broadcasts. This season, the women’s basketball games will be heard exclusively on KFGE and continue to be available for free around the world on Huskers.com. Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch are teaming up for their sixth full season on the call of the game, with Coatney providing the play-by-play. The pregame show hits the air 25 minutes before each game.

The Huskers matched their best nine-game start in Big 12 history by improving to 7-2 to pull into a tie for first place in the league standings with Oklahoma and Texas A&M. The Huskers’ dominance inside came against the nation’s leader in blocked shots, as Baylor entered the game averaging nearly eight blocks per game. The Huskers became the first team in 2006-07 to out-block the Lady Bears (10-5), while tying the school record with 10 blocks.

Senior (2006-07)Chelsea Aubry (pronounced O-bree) is having a

strong senior season, averaging 8.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, after moving back to her natural power forward position from the wing.

She has hit 28 of her last 54 three-point attempts

over the last 22 games (51.9 percent). With 73 career three-pointers, she is the first non-guard in school history to crack the NU top-10 list in that category.

A three-year captain for the Huskers, Aubry produced the best performance of her career with 26 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field in NU’s win at Missouri on Jan. 20. She added her third straight double-figure scoring effort with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting at No. 21 Texas A&M (Jan. 24).

She had 18 points, including a career-high four three-pointers against Michigan (Dec. 9). She also tied a career high with four assists. She had 16 points and hit 4-of-5 threes in NU’s win over NC State (Dec. 28).

Nebraska CareerAubry's scoring and rebounding numbers dipped

during her junior season with her move to the small forward position for the Huskers. Although she played somewhat out of position, Aubry started all 32 games for the Huskers and her individual sacrifice helped inspire her teammates to 19 wins and a third consecutive postseason tournament bid.

Aubry averaged 6.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per

game, while more than doubling her assist total (33) from her sophomore season (16). She had a career-high four assists at Northwestern and set a career high with four steals against Grambling State, when she also tied a career high with 11 rebounds.

As a sophomore, Aubry led NU with 5.1 rebounds per game and ranked second on the team in scoring with 9.2 points per game. She scored a career-high 20 points at Texas A&M. She grabbed a career-best 11 rebounds against Oklahoma. Nebraska's first-ever Canadian women's basketball player, Aubry finished her true freshman season averaging 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while playing in all 30 contests.

PersonalThe daughter of Rick and Shelley Aubry, Chelsea

has an older sister, Shauna, 24, and a younger brother, Alex, 19. Chelsea was born on June 27, 1984, in Oshawa, Ontario. Aubry is majoring in international business at Nebraska and carries a 3.019 GPA. She was a second-team academic All-Big 12 pick in 2004-05, and is a member of the 2006-07 Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Junior (2006-07)One of the top shot-blockers in Nebraska history,

Danielle Page is having a strong junior season. Although she was not expected to play until the start of the Big 12 season after suffering an ACL tear in late-June, Page is averaging 17 minutes per game off the bench, along with career bests of 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

She had one of the most dominant defensive performances in Nebraska history, when she smashed the school record with nine blocks to go along with nine

defensive rebounds in NU’s 76-67 win over No. 13 Baylor (Feb. 3). Page tied Nebraska’s previous school record with seven blocks in the first half alone. Page’s effort came against the nation’s No. 1 shot-blocking team and the Big 12’s second-leading scorer and rebounder, Bernice Mosby. Page helped limit Mosby to 1-for-13 shooting from the field and a season-low three points.

In Big 12 play, Page is averaging 7.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. She erupted for a career-high 17 points against Kansas (Jan. 27), after posting her second career double-double with 11 points and 10 boards in a win over No. 25 K-State (Jan. 17). She added 14 points and eight rebounds against Texas Tech (Feb. 14).

She had 15 points, seven rebounds and a block in 18 minutes to help the Huskers capture the State Farm Classic title with a win at Florida on Dec. 29.

Nebraska CareerPage suffered a setback as a sophomore when she

was diagnosed with a breathing ailment that limited her practice and playing time early in the year. She averaged just 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds through the first five games.

She gained control of her breathing problems and over the next eight games helped NU go undefeated by averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. For the season, she averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 boards per game, while leading the Huskers with 38 blocks, the second-best total by a sophomore in NU history.

Page enjoyed a strong first season, averaging 6.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, while leading the Huskers with 31 blocks, which ranked as the fourth-highest total by a freshman in school history.

She was a two-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week and averaged 8.0 points and 4.1 boards per game in league action. Page notched her first career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds against Kansas on Jan. 29. She added a career-high 15 points in a win over Oklahoma on Feb. 5. She also posted a career-best five blocks in a win over Iowa State on Feb. 12.

PersonalThe daughter of Fred and Lynn Page, Danielle was

born Nov. 14, 1986, in Colorado Springs, Colo. She has three brothers, Britain, 11, Cliff, 2, and an infant brother, Brady. Danielle carries a 3.016 GPA as a communications major.
