Cain, a 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., nearly produced her second career triple-double by erupting for 22 points, 12 rebounds and nine blocked shots to power Nebraska to a 63-55 victory over previously unbeaten and then-No. 15 Ohio State on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.

A graduate student who is pursing her Master's of Business Administration at Nebraska after earning her bachelor's degree as a management major in just three years, Cain earned her first Big Ten Player-of-the-Week award of her career. An honorable-mention All-Big Ten choice last season and a two-time Big Ten All-Defensive selection (2018, 2020), Cain was a four-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week in 2017-18.

Well done Kate. I hope you do that more. We need players to have great games like this many more times.

"Nebraska nearly led wire-to-wire in knocking off their third top-15 opponent in the last 17 days, including their second win over a previously unbeaten and Associated Press No. 15 Big Ten foe (also Northwestern, Dec. 31)."
