Romeo Scores 25 in NU's Aussie Opener

Frankston, Australia - Natalie Romeo scored 25 points and dished out six assists, but the Nebraska women's basketball team dropped an 81-72 decision to the Frankston Blues at Frankston Basketball Stadium on Tuesday in Australia.

The Huskers, who were playing in their first of four games on the Australian Tour, trailed by three at halftime (42-39) and by six with just five minutes left (71-65) against the team made up of several former NCAA Division I standouts in Australia's SEABL.

Playing without All-America point guard Rachel Theriot, senior guard Kyndal Clark and Parade High School All-America post Jessica Shepard, the Huskers were led by Romeo.
