The Nebraska women's basketball team continued to handle their business over a busy sports weekend for the Cornhuskers.

Facing a Western Illinois team that's expected to compete in the Ohio Valley Conference, Nebraska tore apart the Leathernecks in a dominant 98-35 drubbing Saturday afternoon at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Five different players scored in double digits for NU, including a game-high 19 from star point guard Britt Prince. Rising junior Amiah Hargrove added 17 while grabbing a team-high eight rebounds. Five-star recruit Ashlyn Koupal chipped in 16 while Allison Weidner and Emily Fisher each poured in 10 points.

Nebraska tormented WIU all afternoon by forcing 33 turnovers and holding the OVC contender to just 31.8% from the field on just 44 shots. Now, the Huskers make the turnaround to face another mid-major Tuesday night in Lincoln.

Outlook

Entering his 16th season at North Carolina A&T, women's basketball head coach Tarrell Robinson is the winningest coach in program history and has a roster that should be competitive in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA). After a disappointing 2025-2026 season that saw the Aggies finish ninth in the conference with a 12-18 overall record, the program lost a pair of top players in All-CAA First Team selection Chaniya Clark (12.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG) and veteran guard D'Mya Tucker (10.7 PPG) — who represented two-thirds of the roster that averaged double-digit scoring.

That's what makes forward Paris Locke such an important piece of this year's team. The senior comes off a season that saw her average over 11 points, six rebounds and three assists per game as an all-around player. She's expected to be a focal point of the offense alongside returner and new starter Anaya Karriem. Standing at 6-foot-2, Karriem is averaging nine points and eight rebounds through the team's first two games.

Robinson brought in plenty of transfers in hopes of elevating the talent on the roster. That starts with Temple transfer Drew Alexander, who's leading the team with 11 points per game through two contests. She was a contributor off the bench with the Owls for two seasons before transferring to become a starter at N.C. A&T. In a similar story, 6-foot-3 forward Jada Bates played at Arkansas for her first two collegiate seasons before joining the Aggies in hopes of earning more playing time.

Senior guard Maraja Pass started at Elon for three seasons before transferring, where she continues to be a starter. Sophomore Rania Curry will see action off the bench after scoring nearly five points per game as a freshman at Mercer last year. Plus, center Yves Cox will bring depth off the bench after starring at Cal State Northridge and Arkansas State in the last two seasons.

Using the transfer portal for a new look roster in 2026-2027, Robinson is hoping all the moves he made will turn into more wins. Tabbed to finish third in the CAA, the Aggies should be competitive in their own conference, but not against the Huskers.
