Five Husker players scored in double figures today; Britt Prince, Amiah Hargrove, Ashlyn Koupal, Allison Weidner, and Emily Fisher. Britt Prince hit a career milestone notching her 1,000th point in just her junior season. Nebraska starts the season off 2-0 after a high scoring, lopsided win.Nebraska starters: Britt Prince, Kennadi Williams, Allison Weidner, Natalie Potts, and Amiah Hargrove.First QuarterGame two of the year starts off with Britt Prince hitting a mid range jumper for her 1,000th career point. Allison Weidner makes her presence known by getting a steal and taking it to the rim for her first points of the game. Weidner takes a one footed floater from the elbow and gets it to drop, Huskers are up 6-2. Amiah Hargrove is left wide open at the top of the key and drills the three; assisted by Natalie Potts. Speaking of Potts, she hits a three of her own to get herself into the scoring column, not a bad way to start your birthday. Amiah Hargrove gets the entry pass from Potts, gets fouled and will head to the line for two (2 of 2). Nebraska has the 14-7 lead on Western Illinois with six minutes left. Not a lot has happened here in the last two minutes, just a bunch of missed shots, but of course Amiah Hargrove shuts me up again and hits a three; she has eight points. Kennadi Williams gets her second assist on a Ashlyn Koupal cutting two. Edessa Noyan has been crashing the offensive boards today and finally gets her first points of the game; very next possession Koupal hits another jumper. A timeout is called with 1:51 left in the quarter and Nebraska is up 23-9.Out of the timeout, Britt Prince drains the three from the top of key. Nebraska had some very good ball movement leading to an Emily Fisher layup. The defense from the Huskers has also been good so far today, forcing WIU into eight turnovers today. Maddi Stewart gets the steal with 2.0 seconds left, but doesn’t release the ball in time for the basket to count. Nebraska 28 Western Illinois 9Second QuarterBritt Prince gets a nice screen that allows her to get down hill to the rim, she has seven points so far. Prince’s mid range game is so smooth, she hits another and puts Nebraska up 32-9. Bad news, Edessa Noyan goes down and is now headed to the locker room. Prince will be shooting free throws after a review for a flagrant foul, which I don’t think there is one. Weirdly enough, Prince had already shot a free throw before they decided to go review it. Kennadi Williams gets a tip on a steal that lands in the hands of Prince who pushes it ahead to Hargrove for two. Western Illinois will call a timeout with 7:20 left in the half (36-9 Neb).Amiah Hargrove has three triples on the day and immediately after, Allison Weidner gets a steal and takes it to the rim. Prince and Fisher ran a great pick and roll where it left Fisher wide open for two (43-11 Neb). Arek Angui gets her first points of her Nebraska career. Another travel from WIU makes their turnover total 17 on the day so far.
