The season for the Husker women’s basketball team opened unofficially last night with an exhibition game against Division II Pittsburg State at the Devaney Center. The young Husker team, who feature six freshmen, got better as the game rolled on and routed the Gorillas 86-55. Sophomore Jordan Hooper set the pace for the Huskers with 24 points and 17 rebounds. Of the six newcomers, Emily Cady had the brightest debut with 14 points. Coming off the bench, Adrianna Maurer added 11 points and Rebecca Woodberry chipped in 10. The Huskers outrebounded the Gorillas 57-38 and forced 23 turnovers. Nebraska was the first Big Ten team to start their exhibition season. They will play one other exhibition game, hosting Nebraska-Kearney next Sunday afternoon.
