In Wisconsin’s fifteenth consecutive contest against a Big Ten foe, Amy Williams and the Nebraska Cornhuskers (21-7, 10-7 Big Ten) defeated Marisa Moseley’s Badgers (7-20, 4-13 Big Ten) 80-70 in Madison on Feb. 24.
Both groups played well early on, with a combined five ties and eleven lead changes in the opening frame. Sophomore Brooke Schramek accounted for ten of the Badgers’ first 18 points in the quarter, and despite managing a 58.3% clip from the floor as a team, Nebraska’s four offensive rebounds and perfect 6-6 effort from the charity stripe propelled Lincoln’s finest to a 19-18 advantage after one.
