Depth returns for Nebraska women

LINCOLN, Neb. — Amy Williams is entering her fourth year on the Nebraska women's bench and the first three have been a bit of a teeter–toter.

Down, up, and down again when it came to their record compared to .500 basketball.

This time out, the Cornhuskers have a wealth of options to bring this thing back up to the plus–side, only saying goodbye to senior Maddie Simon from last year's 14–16 finish.

"You don't lose a player that's meant as much to our program as she has and not feel a little bit," head coach Amy Williams said. "With only one senior leaving and having a lot of pieces returning, we feel like that's really helped with chemistry."

For them, it starts with considerable depth.

"I think our returning players have done a great job of putting our newest players under their wings and embracing them," said Williams. "It's been fantastic."

Nebraska announced the start time of its exhibition opener, home to Rogers State on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 4 p.m.
