No. 19 Huskers Cruise Past USD BY JEREMY HOECK [email protected] LINCOLN, Neb. — Not that it would have made much of a difference against the Big Ten Conference favorites, but the University of South Dakota women had to tinker with their lineup. Minus two key players, the Coyotes were faced with an enough together challenge on the glass. The result was a solid start in that area and a rough finish in Saturday afternoon’s 87-53 loss to the No. 19- ranked Huskers at brand new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lin- coln, Neb. “We were a little con- cerned with how we would adjust, and I don’t think we handled it particularly well,” said USD head coach Amy Williams, making her head coaching debut at her alma mater. “We had to have some players step into different roles.” The Coyotes (7-6) were without sophomore starter Heidi Hoff (knee) and sopho- more reserve Margaret Mc- Cloud (family matter), who combine to average 10 re- bounds. In that stat Saturday, Ne- braska (9-2) finished with a significant 46-33 edge — by far USD’s worst finish on the glass this season. “We knew they’d be tough, but not having Marge and Heidi, those are two of our best rebounders,” said Coy- ote senior post Polly Harring- ton, who had seven points and five rebounds. “But we tried to come in with the mindset to rebound as hard as we could. “It did hurt us a little bit, though.” Replacing Hoff in the start- ing lineup for USD was junior Raeshel Contreras, who had a team high 17 points. And without McCloud, the Coy- otes were considerably smaller off the bench in an ef- fort to grab rebounds. “We knew that was going to be the stat that would give us a chance to stay competi- tive,” Williams said. In the first half, at least, the Coyotes stayed right with the taller Huskers on the glass — both teams had 19 rebounds at halftime. Nebraska eventually fin- ished with a 46-33 edge, though, and also dominated in second chance looks. The Huskers out-scored USD 16-3 on second chance points. “That’s critical,” Williams said. “We’re going to have to find a way to rebound even without Margaret in the lineup. And be able to adjust and find people that can go be rebounders.” The Coyotes could have had a lineup full of McClouds and Hoffs and might not have made a difference, especially early. Nebraska started the game on an 11-0 run and used a 5-point swing (a three- pointer followed by two free throws after a USD foul) late in the first half to take a 40-20 cushion into the break. “We were a little gun shy early, and not quite ready to step up and make plays we needed to make,” Williams said. And that was about all the drama the game provided. The Huskers — thanks to 10 three-pointers — shot 50 per- cent after halftime and the Coyotes were limited to 29 percent for the game. Sophomore Tia Hemiller added 11 points and six re- bounds for the Coyotes, while junior Nicole Seekamp had 11 points, five rebounds and four assists. “We gave up too many threes, and we didn’t re- HASTINGS, Neb. — Cami Bruckman scored a career- high 29 points to lead Hast- ings to a 93-77 victory over Mount Marty in Great Plains Athletic Conference women’s basketball action on Satur- day.

Melissa Dixon added 13 points for the Hawkeyes while Samantha Logic went 6 of 7 for 12 points, pulled down 17 rebounds and handed out 10 assists. Drake (5-5) was led by Ashley Bartow with 16 points; Lizzy Wendell scored nine points for the Bulldogs and had 11 rebounds in the loss. Iowa was only up four at intermission and maintained that margin almost five minutes into the second half. But the Hawkeyes went on a 15- 0 run — including a trey by Theairra Taylor — to take control of the game. Drake shot just 20 percent from the floor and went 6 of 29 (20.7 percent) on 3-pointers.
