Nebraska Cornhuskers (16-7, 5-7 Big Ten)

Led by ninth-year head coach Amy Williams, Nebraska rattled off 12 straight wins to start its season thanks to a relatively weak non-conference schedule in which it handled business well enough to go undefeated.

She had 13 points when the Huskers upset Maryland in College Park last year.

She shoots 42.6% from beyond the arc.

Callin Hake, senior guard, 5-foot-8, No. 14 – Hake starts in the back court alongside Prince as a veteran do-it-all leader for the Cornhuskers. She averages eight…
