The Husker women are looking for their 12th straight win to start the season against the Lancers of Cal Baptist. Nebraska’s offensive output has been a fun part of this win streak, with the ladies scoring at least 80 points in every game. They’ve gone over 100 three times (four if you include the exhibition game) and are looking to run whenever they force a turnover.
I expect this to be a handy win for the Huskers, but they can’t overlook Cal Baptist. Finals and a showdown with a ranked USC team on
the horizon. My score prediction: Nebraska 92 Cal Baptist 64

Sunday’s game will be a homecoming for Cal Baptist Head Coach Jarrod Olson. The Doane Hall of Famer is in his 14th season leading the Lancers and his 22nd season overall as a collegiate head coach after starting his career at the College of St. Mary in Omaha in 2000. After ending his playing career as a 2,000-point scorer at Doane in 1997, Olson was a grad assistant at Emporia State and served as an assistant boys basketball coach at Millard South and an assistant men’s coach at Bellevue University. He was also an assistant women’s coach at Creighton for four seasons.

Bucher leads the team with 24 three-pointers (.369), while Lemon has added 17 threes (.333). Lemon, a Millard South High School graduate, helped the Patriots to the 2023 Nebraska Class A state title and was a member of the All-Nebraska team alongside Nebraska’s Britt Prince.
Lauren Olsen has emerged as a talented scorer with a team-leading 13.5 points per game. The 5-8 guard from Douglas, Wyo., is shooting a team-best 41.5 percent (22-53) from three-point range. Filipa Barros, a 5-9 redshirt junior point guard, rounds out CBU’s starting five by averaging 8.2 points and a team-leading 9.5 rebounds per game.
