When Danielle Page made the Serbian national women’s basketball team, and Serbia qualified for the 2016 Olympics, Page became just the second Nebraska women’s basketball player to make an Olympic team.
Page’s former teammate, Chelsea Aubry, was a captain for the 2012 Canadian Olympic team.
Once at the Olympics, Page did one better, becoming the first former Husker women’s basketball player to win a medal when she helped her adopted country to its first-ever Olympic medal in women’s basketball, a bronze.
Page, who is from Monument, Colorado, was back in Lincoln last week, and was honored during the Huskers’ game against UConn, getting a standing ovation from many of the 7,500 fans.
