Nebraska took a beat to control the game. The Huskers shot 58.8% in the opening period but tallied four turnovers, helping the Braves keep the game in single digits.
In the second quarter, the Big Red broke the game wide open. An 11-0 run pushed the difference to 17 points. NU would push the difference to 20 points by halftime, 30 points in the third quarter, and finish just shy of 40 points by the end of the game.
Nebraska coach Amy Williams was proud of the assists-to-made baskets and rebounding margin in the game. The Huskers made 37 shots on 26 assists and outrebounded the Braves 48-25.
“Thrilled we were able to take care of those two things and come out with a good win,” Williams said after the game.
Bradley was without starter Claire McDougall for most of the game. Averaging 10.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, McDougall chased a ball out of bounds and collided with a photographer. She would leave the game with a leg injury and not return.
The Braves also briefly had another starter out of the game. Ellie McDermid rolled her ankle midway through the first quarter. She would also go to the locker room but returned a couple of minutes later, eventually playing 24 minutes.
There weren’t any new injuries for Nebraska, who is still waiting on the return of Natalie Potts.
Logan Nissley is still working her way back from missing time earlier in the season, but she put up 10 points in 17 minutes off the bench. She also had seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals.
“I thought Logan’s stat line was amazing,” Williams said. “She’s still working into everything. But for her to come out there and to have a—10 points, seven assists, no turnovers, and five rebounds. Just all areas that you can kind of impact the game.”
Britt Prince led all scorers with 17 points. The sophomore added five assists and four rebounds. Jessica Petrie had a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds. Callin Hake pitched in a well-rounded seven points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
Nebraska shot 56.1% for the game, making just 6-of-21 three pointers. Bradley made 32.8% of their shots, including 7-of-31 from deep.
This is just the second time in program history that Nebraska has scored at least 80 in eight straight games. The 987-88 Big Eight Champion Huskers had a similar stretch, going 7-1. This year’s group is 8-0.
This is the first time ever that both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball teams have started the same season 8-0. The last time both teams began the same season 7-0 was in 1992-93.
The Husker women will look to stay unblemished with a Big Ten Conference opponent this weekend. The league opener is at Penn State on Saturday. Tip from State College is slated for noon CST. The game will be streamed on B1G+.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced today that it is submitting a request to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expand the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Healthy Choice Waiver to include candy as an ineligible purchase. Once approved, the restriction will take effect November 1, 2026.
“DHHS continues to strengthen our Healthy Choice Waiver by adding candy to the list of items ineligible for purchase with SNAP benefits,” said Shannon Grotrian, Director of the Office of Economic Assistance (OEA). “This step supports healthier SNAP purchasing decisions and reflects the Department’s commitment to improving health outcomes for Nebraskans.”
The change builds on the current Healthy Choice Waiver, which already prohibits the purchase of soda and energy drinks, a policy that took effect January 1, 2026.
Excessive consumption of sugar can contribute to a range of serious health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and dental decay. Research from the USDA has shown that SNAP participants have a higher prevalence of obesity than both income-eligible and higher-income nonparticipants.
That same study found that SNAP participants, on average, consume more added sugars and fewer fruits and vegetables than non-participants. Another study from the University of Minnesota found that restriction of sugary foods led to an increase in healthier purchases and a decrease in sugary food purchases.
Prior to the implementation date, educational information will be sent to SNAP participants, retailers, and community members outlining the changes. Additional information including the definition of candy, will be shared in the following weeks on the SNAP Healthy Choice Waiver webpage at https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Healthy-Choices-Waiver.aspx. This will include frequently asked questions (FAQ), information on healthy alternative purchases, and other community resources.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln expects to confer a record 3,800-plus degrees during commencement exercises May 8-9.
Pinnacle Bank Arena, 400 Pinnacle Arena Drive, will host a ceremony for students earning graduate and professional degrees, 3 p.m. May 8, and two ceremonies for those earning bachelor’s degrees, 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. May 9. Doors open to the public at 1:30 p.m. May 8 and 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. May 9. A College of Law ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. May 9 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, 1600 Court St., with doors opening to the public at 1 p.m.
Interim Chancellor Katherine S. Ankerson will preside over the ceremonies. The morning undergraduate ceremony will feature graduates in the Colleges of Business, Education and Human Sciences, Fine and Performing Arts, Journalism and Mass Communication, and Public Affairs and Community Service. The afternoon undergraduate ceremony will feature graduates in the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Architecture, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering.
DeMoine Adams, motivational speaker and former Husker football student-athlete, will deliver the keynote address, “The Power of People,” during the morning undergraduate ceremony. Nebraska Builder Awards will be given to College of Architecture alumni and university supporters Scott W. Killinger and Richard L. Youngscap during the afternoon undergraduate ceremony.
Adams is the founder and CEO of The Game Plan — Ready, Set Perform, a Lincoln-based leadership and motivational speaking business that aims to inspire people to lead with purpose and be winners in the game of life. He also recently served for five years as CEO of TeamMates Mentoring, co-founded by legendary Husker football coach Tom Osborne. A first-generation college graduate, Adams holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science and Master of Arts in educational psychology from Nebraska.
A native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Adams was a standout Blackshirt defensive end and helped lead the Huskers to a Big 12 championship and national championship Rose Bowl appearance. He also earned Academic All-American and All-Big 12 honors. He went on to play professionally in the National, Canadian and Arena football leagues.
A native of Hebron, Nebraska, Killinger earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Nebraska in 1961 and a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1966. He has since built an international career as an architect, educator and civic leader. He is principal and founding partner of Kuang Xing International, a 50-person architecture, landscape and urban design practice based in Beijing and Philadelphia, and a founder of the Killinger Center for Urban Studies in China, which has strong ties to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He has taught and lectured at the university and served as the interim dean of the architecture college in 2015-16. He has also taught and lectured at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Savannah College of Art and Design, and leading Chinese universities.
A longtime advocate for his alma mater, Killinger served on the College of Architecture’s Professional Advisory Council from 2004-2015 and as a trustee of the University of Nebraska Foundation since 2012. In 2008, he received the distinguished Alumni Master award from the Nebraska Alumni Association. He is also a member of the NU Foundation’s Burnett Society for sustained philanthropic giving.
Youngscap is a lifelong Nebraskan, earning a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Nebraska in 1961. His early career was marked by a commitment to thoughtful urban development and land conservation. In 1965, he acquired 16 acres in southeast Lincoln to protect it from high-density urban sprawl — a decision that led to the creation of Firethorn Golf Club, one of Nebraska’s most celebrated golf venues. In the 1990s, he recognized the potential of Nebraska’s Sandhills region, an ancient seabed with unique natural features ideal for golf. Partnering with architects Bill Coore and the PGA’s Ben Crenshaw, he developed the Sand Hills Golf Club, which opened in 1995. The course, celebrated for its minimalist design and harmonious integration with the natural landscape, has consistently been ranked among the top courses in the world.
In 1997, Youngscap received the Dr. Herbert H. Davis Memorial Award from the Nebraska Golf Hall of Fame. In 2019, he was honored with the Virgil A. Parker Special Recognition Award by the Nebraska Golf Association for his contributions to golf in Nebraska.
