Nebraska women’s basketball dominates in 84-50 blowout win over Creighton
Nebraska (3-0) completed its initial homestand to start the 2025-2026 season on Wednesday night, taking on in-state rival Creighton (1-2). After losing their last three clashes with the Bluejays, the Huskers swiftly took the win in an 84-50 outing.
This is Nebraska’s first win over Creighton since 2021 and head coach Amy Williams’ second win all-time against the Bluejays. Though that win came in a low-scoring battle, Nebraska dominated from start to finish on Wednesday night. This is also the Huskers’ largest win over Creighton since 2005, when they ironically won by the same score.
After opening the game with a 17-9 first quarter, the Huskers held Creighton to five points in the second quarter, allowing them to enter halftime up 35-14. Nebraska kept its foot on the gas from there, outscoring the Bluejays 49-36 in the second half.
The Huskers shot 29-of-62 from the floor, while Creighton finished 15-of-51. Nebraska also hit 10-of-28 from three-point range and 16-of-20 from the free throw line. The Huskers also capitalized on turnovers, scoring 23 off the Bluejays’ 25 cough-ups.
Britt Prince finished atop the board for Nebraska, scoring a team-high 18 points and hauling in a team-high seven rebounds. She shot 6-of-12 from the floor and landed a perfect 6-of-6 from the foul line. Callin Hake hit a team-high 3-of-4 from beyond the arc and 4-of-6 from the floor to finish with 13 points. She also earned a team-high three assists.
Jessica Petrie and Claire Johnson each tallied 11 points in the win, with Petrie going 4-of-8 from the floor while Johnson finished 3-of-6. Petrie also hit 2-of-4 from three-point range, one of them being a buzzer-beater from beyond half court, and Johnson shot a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line. Petra Bozan finished just shy of double-digits in scoring, tallying nine points after going 3-of-6 from the floor, 1-of-2 from beyond the arc, and 2-of-3 from the foul line.
The Huskers hit the road for the first time this season, traveling up to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for a neutral-site matchup against North Dakota State on Sunday. Tipoff is set for noon on the Big Ten Network.
