It was a valiant effort, but the Huskers fell 73-62 in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.
Janay Morton led the Huskers with season highs of 16 points and four rebounds off the bench to cap her Nebraska career. Taylor Kissinger, a 6-1 freshman guard added 15 points off the bench, while sophomore starter Hannah Whitish contributed 12 points to put three Huskers in double figures.
After the two teams went to halftime tied at 27, Whitish hit back-to-back threes early in the third quarter to give the Huskers a 36-33 lead with 6:38 left in the period.
