Nebraska WBB: Kate Cain is the Big Ten Player of the Week

The Husker women are flying high after defeating their third ranked opponent in five games. Defeating the #15 Ohio State Buckeyes was a tall task, made even taller by the loss of second-leading scorer Issie Bourne to an ankle injury.

A tall task requires a tall hero.

Enter 6’5” senior center Kate Cain. Cain played one of her most masterful games as a Husker and anchored a defense that has been nothing short of exceptional. Before the game, I worried that the loss of Bourne would be too much for Nebraska to overcome and that an upset of the previously-undefeated Buckeyes wasn’t in the cards.
