Husker Women's Hoops Roll Bulldogs

The Huskers started the game on a 13-0 run, running away from the Bulldogs early. But in the second quarter, Samford put together an 18-6 run to cut the deficit to 14 points and gain a little momentum.

That was quickly squashed in the third quarter, where Nebraska opened on a 15-5 run and went into the final frame up by 30 points.

Britt Prince led all scorers with 23 points. The star sophomore was an efficient 10-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-4 from downtown. Prince added two assists and a pair of steals.

Jessica Petrie also had an excellent offensive outing, scoring 20 points. The Australian native added five rebounds, two assists, one blocked shot, and one steal.

"I thought Jess was confident," Williams said. "She was able to score with her back to the basket or driving to the rim, getting some touches mid-range. Britt early hit her on a baseline, short corner, mid-range jumper. She just showed some versatility and I think she's playing very confidently right now."

Other Huskers in double figures include Petra Bozan (13 points) and Amiah Hargrove (12 points). Callin Hake and Kennadi Williams combined for just seven points, but chipped in a total of 12 of Nebraska's 22 assists in the game.

As a team, the Huskers shot 50.8% from the floor, including 6-of-23 on three-pointers. That makes back-to-back games of single-digit triples after making 19 in the exhibition against Mount Marty.

Only one Bulldog scored in double figures, as Samford shot 33.3% for the game, making 8-of-27 from deep.

Nebraska stays home next week, hosting Creighton on Wednesday. The Huskers own the all-time series 16-12, but have dropped the last three matchups. Tip from Pinnacle Bank Arena is set for 8 p.m. CST. The contest will air on FS1.

"We haven't even discussed anything about Creighton," Williams said. "We will begin that process on Monday after a day off tomorrow to kind of rest and recover our bodies. At that time, we'll probably spend quite a bit of time trying right the ship on some things that Samford exposed for us here today."
