Husker Women Rout Illinois

The 19th-ranked Nebraska women’s basketball team made it three straight victories with a 67-47 win over Illinois in Champaign yesterday. Lindsey Moore scored a game-high 20 points and Jordan Hooper set a new career high in rebounds with 16 to lead the Huskers to the win. In addition to the 16 boards, Hooper scored 12 points to collect her tenth double-double of the season. Emily Cady also scored in double figures for the Huskers, pouring in 17 points. Nebraska struggled from the field in the game, shooting just 33 percent, but their defense compensated, holding Illinois to just 29 percent shooting. The victory moves the Huskers to 18-3 on the season and 7-2 in Big Ten conference play. They are back in action on Thursday, when they travel to visit current Big Ten leaders Purdue.
