No. 23 Huskers Roll Over No. 8 Ohio State In Regular Season Finale
The 23rd-ranked Nebraska women’s basketball team capped the regular season in style yesterday, defeating 8th-ranked Ohio State 71-57 at the Devaney Center. Though it was Senior Day for the Huskers, it was a freshman who stole the show, as Emily Cady tied a career-high with 24 points. The Huskers also got help from their freshmen off the bench, as Rebecca Woodberry, Tear’a Loudermill, and Brandi Jeffrey combined for 20 points. The Huskers earned their fifth win over a top-25 team this season and close out the regular season with a 21-7 record and a 10-6 mark in their first Big Ten campaign. They will be the sixth seed at the Big Ten Tournament, which begins on Thursday in Indianapolis at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where the Huskers will play 11th-seeded Northwestern.
Husker Baseball Caps 4-0 Weekend With Comeback Win
The Nebraska baseball team finished off a 4-0 weekend in exciting fashion on Sunday. Chad Christensen’s two-out, two-run double in the top of the ninth inning capped a five run comeback over the final six innings and gave the Huskers an 8-7 win over UNLV in Corpus Christi, Texas yesterday. The Husker bullpen worked six innings of shutout ball to allow the Husker offense to play catch-up. The victory was a fitting end to an outstanding weekend for the Huskers at the Kleberg Bank College Classic. On Friday, the Huskers topped Utah 5-2. In a pair of games Saturday, the Husker offense exploded as they beat Utah 15-0 and topped Texas-Corpus Christi 7-1. The Huskers move to 4-3 on the season. They’re at the Metrodome in Minneapolis for the Dairy Queen Classic this coming weekend.
(LETTERS TO THE POST) Justice isn’t justice for all
I’m writing in regards to the way North Platte and maybe other counties in Nebraska is handling certain county court cases. I know for a fact of a gentleman that was arrested for DUI a year ago in March. Because he is of some interest to myself, I have watched via the court website that he still has not been to court and sentenced for that offense! Not only has he not been sentenced but he has had a court date every month and a half for the past year! I’d like to know, even if he is paying an attorney, how something like this gets put on the back burner and what it is costing our county/courts to have him on the schedule routinely for a year without any outcome??? I understand a fair trail, speedy trial and the like but come on people, this is ridiculous!

Salvador Lopez, of Mitchell, admitted killing Kerra Wilson.
Lopez was sentenced Friday in Sioux County District Court. Sioux County Attorney Adam Edmund says Lopez deserved to die in prison In exchange for Lopez’s guilty plea, prosecutors dropped a provision that could have led to the death penalty.
The little girl’s body was found Sept. 22 on remote ranchland in Sioux County.
Prosecutors say Lopez killed Wilson because she told him she was going to tell her mother that he “had touched her in a bad way.”
