Lincoln - All-American Rachel Theriot produced her sixth career double-double with 20 points and 11 assists to lead five Huskers in double figures, as the Nebraska women's basketball team rolled to an 88-67 win over NC State at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Thursday night.
The Big Red improved to 5-1 overall with their only loss coming at No. 1 UConn, while notching their second straight win in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. NC State slipped to 6-2 on the young season with its only other setback coming in a three-point loss to top-25 Seton Hall.
Theriot, a 6-0 senior point guard from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, showed why she was a first-team All-Big Ten choice and an honorable-mention All-American as a sophomore in 2013-14, by scoring NU's first six points on her way to her 12th career 20-point performance.
