Izzy Bourne bucket gives Huskers Ladies their first lead, 18-17 @ 4:30 left in Q2.

Ladies!!!!!

 

[redsteve]

Cravens is stepping up game after game. Izzy is getting more fluid around the floor. Cain is more aggressive too.

 

We're gettin there folks.

 

Is it  just my imagination...this Rutgers team just doesn't seem real good. We'll see the second half

Had to listen to game.  Sounds like Bourne was great on defense.  Gutty effort to beat a tough team.

[twister31]

I have been critical in past, but that to me was an impressive win today. Mostly because of how freaking physical Rutgers plays. 

[redsteve]

Really  gutted it out. Got it done...got it done..... good job.  

 

We'll be out of bandages after this slugfest. Geeez...how many fouls didn't get called on Rut.

 

Still have to believe we're doing better because we can't substitute so much. The starters are getting more minutes, so we're more effective.

Girls must be in shape.  I don't recall much subbing the 2nd half.  Well done Ladies!!
