Cain Excited to Pursue Pro Career

Nebraska senior Kate Cain rewrote the Husker record book in her four seasons in Lincoln. The 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., shattered the Husker career blocked shot record with 352 in her 118-game career - 114 blocks more than previous record holder Janet Smith. Cain's total ranked sixth in Big Ten history and was No. 2 among active NCAA Division I players in 2020-21.

A graduate student at Nebraska who earned her bachelor's degree in management in just three years on campus, Cain has chosen to forego an extra season of eligibility granted by the NCAA, in order to pursue her dream of playing professional basketball.
