She captured the first Big Ten Player-of-the-Week award of her career after averaging 26.0 points and 6.5 assists last week, including career highs of 33 points and nine assists in an 88-85 overtime win over Minnesota on Jan. 16.

One of the nation’s top young point guards, Theriot is leading the Huskers in scoring in Big Ten action with 18.6 points per game, while adding 7.0 assists. In the first meeting with Northwestern, Theriot had 19 points, six rebounds, eight assists and two steals to lead the Huskers to a 66-65 victory on Jan. 2.

Two-time All-American and first-team All-Big Ten forward Jordan Hooper continues to lead the Huskers in scoring and rebounding on the season with 19.5 points and 10.1 boards per game. The 6-2 senior from Alliance, Neb., owns 2,017 points and 982 rebounds in her career. She is 18 boards away from becoming the fifth Big Ten Conference player in history to reach the combined 2,000-point, 1,000-rebound milestones.
