The Nebraska women’s basketball team made sure that the only lead that Southern Illinois-Edwardsville had didn’t last for long.
The Cougars took a lead against Nebraska early in the third quarter. But Nebraska quickly reclaimed the lead and took control with a 13-2 run in about four minutes. The Huskers went on to win 63-49 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and that means Nebraska has started the season with four straight wins for the first time in four years.
SIUE only led for 35 seconds of the game. But after Nebraska only scored four points in the second quarter the game was too close for comfort for the Huskers against its opponent from the Ohio Valley Conference.
