Lincoln - Natalie Romeo and Jessica Shepard both produced record performances for a season opener, as the Nebraska women's basketball team rolled to a 96-46 win over Arkansas Pine Bluff on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Romeo, a 5-7 sophomore from Martinez, Calif., produced a Nebraska season-opening record 30 points, while adding four assists in just 26 minutes to lead the Big Red. Romeo hit 6-of-9 three-pointers, while connecting on 11-of-18 shots overall in a huge performance off the bench. Anticipated to be a regular starter for the Huskers, Romeo did not start on Saturday after missing multiple practices earlier in the week because of illness.
