Haiby's athleticism on the court for the Husker women was also on display in high school on the baseball diamond

Anyone who has watched Sam Haiby play for the Nebraska women’s basketball team this season — when she’s often been seen driving to the basket — probably knows what her favorite way to score is, but it’s on the record now.

The freshman guard has done a lot of that this season for the Huskers, and she’s added a lot to the team. When teams focus on Nebraska’s good three-point shooters, Haiby has been able to find open driving lanes to the basket.
