Nebraska earned their first NCAA tournament win under Amy Williams. The game looked to be in-hand for the Huskers for most of the contest, but A&M made a late surge to force Nebraska to dig deep. The Huskers knew what to do and gave their coach a win on her birthday.
Nebraska’s most dependable player (Markowski; 16 points) and a freshie in her first tournament game (Nissley; 16 points) were the scoring engines for win #23. Both teams hit similar numbers of field goals (22-61 for A&M and 18-49 for Neb) and three-pointers (7-26 for A&M and 6-21 for Neb).
