LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska women’s basketball team lost its fourth straight game on Thursday. The Huskers fell to unranked Minnesota, 84-67, at Williams Arena.
Nebraska fell behind early and never claimed the lead, despite a late-game surge. Amiah Hargrove’s 3-pointer in the fourth quarter pulled the Big Red within six points, but NU got no closer as the homestanding Golden Gophers finished strong. Minnesota ended the game on a 13-2 run.
Britt Prince scored a team-high 15 points for Nebraska. Hargrove, Jessica Petrie, and Logan Nissley also scored in double figures for the Huskers.
Nebraska’s record drops to 16-9 (5-9 Big Ten). The Huskers return to action on Monday against Iowa.
