Husker Q-n-A: Nicea Eliely

Nicea Eliely, a native of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is a senior guard on the Nebraska women's basketball team. She will play her final home game at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Saturday, along with fellow seniors Kristian HudsonGrace Mitchell and Hannah Whitish, when the Huskers face Illinois at 2 p.m. Eliely has started 112 games, the most by any current Husker, and has made 83 consecutive starts. She is one of only 12 players in Nebraska history to reach the combined career milestones of 900 points, 400 rebounds and 200 assists. Eliely visited with Brian Rosenthal of Huskers.com about her Nebraska career in this Q-and-A.
 
BR: Your full name is Queen Nicea Tyana Eliely. Is there any special meaning or background to that?
Nicea: "Not really. I mean, my dad came up with my name, so he knows all the methods behind his madness. But I don't think it has too much of a story, no."
 
BR: Does anyone ever call you Queen?
Nicea: "Yes. My teammates call me Queen a lot, and the coaches started calling me Queen, too."
