NICEVILLE, Fla. (Interstat) — In a high-octane offensive showdown at Raider Arena on Tuesday night, the Nebraska women’s basketball team remained undefeated, outlasting a furious fourth-quarter rally from Virginia to secure a 91-82 victory.

The Cornhuskers, now 7-0, built a commanding lead through three quarters only to see the Cavaliers erupt for 32 points in the final period. Nebraska’s early dominance, particularly a 27-point third quarter, ultimately provided enough cushion to withstand the late surge from Virginia, which fell to 5-2.

The game was defined by efficiency on both ends of the floor. Nebraska scored 91 points from 76 possessions, translating to an impressive offensive rating of 120.2. Virginia was nearly as potent, posting an offensive rating of 114.4 with 82 points from 72 possessions.

Nebraska’s offense was spearheaded by a spectacular performance from sophomore guard Britt Prince. The Omaha native was the engine for the Cornhuskers, pouring in a game-high 30 points and dishing out six assists in 36 minutes of action. Her ability to penetrate and finish at the rim was a constant challenge for the Virginia defense.

Prince received crucial support from her teammates. Amiah Hargrove, a 6-foot-2 forward from Christopher, Illinois, provided a major boost off the bench with 17 points, while Callin Hake of Victoria, Minnesota, and Hailey Weaver of Solon, Ohio, each added 11 points. Hake also contributed six assists. Jessica Petrie, from Gold Coast, Australia, chipped in 11 points and a key block.

Virginia was led by the dynamic backcourt duo of Kymora Johnson and Paris Clark. Johnson, a Charlottesville native, dazzled with 24 points and six assists. Clark, from the Bronx, New York, was a force on both ends, tallying 15 points, five assists, a steal and a block in 35 minutes. Romi Levy of Herzelia, Israel, also reached double figures with 11 points.

The contest began as a tight affair, with Nebraska holding a narrow 18-16 lead after the first quarter. The Cornhuskers began to create separation before halftime, outscoring the Cavaliers 24-17 in the second period to take a 42-33 advantage into the locker room.

Nebraska’s offense truly caught fire in the third quarter. They exploded for 27 points, stretching their lead to as many as 19 points and seemingly putting the game out of reach heading into the final 10 minutes with a 69-50 lead.

Refusing to capitulate, Virginia mounted a stunning comeback in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers applied intense defensive pressure, forcing Nebraska into costly turnovers and capitalizing on the other end. A 32-point quarter, fueled by Johnson and Clark, whittled the deficit down to single digits in the final minutes. However, the Cornhuskers managed to steady themselves, making critical free throws down the stretch to seal the nine-point win.

Despite the final score, the statistical battle was remarkably close. Nebraska shot 50.8 percent from the floor, while Virginia was even more accurate at 50 percent. Both teams shot well from beyond the arc, with the Cavaliers hitting 10 of 21 attempts and the Cornhuskers making 8 of 19.

Nebraska’s key advantages came in the paint, where they outscored Virginia 36-26, and in points off turnovers, where they held a 30-20 edge. The Cornhuskers also attempted 31 free throws, making 23, compared to Virginia’s 22 makes on 33 attempts.

Virginia won the battle in several hustle categories, recording 10 steals and six blocks to Nebraska’s eight steals and one block. The Cavaliers also committed 15 turnovers, two more than Nebraska’s 13.

The game was part of a multi-team event at Raider Arena and was played before an announced crowd of 850.

Nebraska will look to continue its perfect start when it returns home to face Bradley on Dec. 3. Virginia, meanwhile, will aim to rebound when it hosts Maryland-Eastern Shore on Nov. 30.
