Just like Kate Cain influences shots on the court, Nebraska has done the same for her life
Kate Cain has learned a lot as a Husker, but she arrived already knowing how to dominate the paint and is now Nebraska's all-time leader in blocked shots.

Kate Cain had it all planned.
She was committed to play basketball at the University of Delaware,
Then everything changed, After two years looking forward to being a Blue Hen, she didn’t have a team. Cain and her family squeezed in four official visits in 2½ weeks - And the one farthest from her home, is where Cain landed.
Four years later, Cain has seven program records for blocks - She recorded the program’s first triple-double of points, rebounds and blocks — as a freshman. Cain, who had 22 points, 14 rebounds and 11 blocks against Florida Atlantic on Dec. 19, 2017, doesn’t remember much about the game.

Cain, who earned her Master’s in business administration, is projected to be a second-round WNBA draft pick. She is now ready to move on from Nebraska, her home for the past four years. She will leave a lasting legacy, but will take something much more valuable with her.
