Huskers to Hold First Official Practice

Lincoln - The Nebraska women's basketball team begins its first official day of preseason practice on Monday afternoon.

The Huskers, who will replace four senior starters from last year's squad that advanced to their fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament, enter the fall with plenty of potential.

Nebraska is excited for the return of senior All-American point guard Rachel Theriot, who missed all of February and March last season with an ankle injury. The MVP of the 2014 Big Ten Tournament, Theriot is within striking distance of Nebraska's career assist record.

The Huskers also welcome back sophomore guard Natalie Romeo, who stepped up in place of Theriot last season to become one of Nebraska's top offensive threats down the stretch.
