-----------------------------------------------------------------------
• Nebraska heads to Pullman in search of its first road win after splitting a pair of games at Pinnacle Bank Arena during the opening week of the season. The Huskers are coming off an 87-64 win over USC Upstate on Sunday.
• Sophomore Taylor Kissinger led the Huskers with 22 points against the Spartans, including a school-record 6-for-6 effort from three-point range. Kissinger is averaging a team-best 15.0 points per game early this season, while adding 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
• Fellow sophomore Kate Cain pitched in 16 points against USC Upstate. She ranks second on the team with 10.0 points while tying for the team lead with 5.0 rebounds per contest. Cain is also averaging 3.0 blocks.
• Nebraska will be playing Washington State for the third consecutive year, and will be aiming to come away with its first win against many familiar faces for the Cougars. Last year, WSU won 73-61 in Lincoln (Dec. 22) after defeating the Huskers 79-65 in Las Vegas on Nov. 25, 2016.
Scouting The Washington State Cougars
• Coach Kamie Ethridge brings her first Washington State team into Friday’s game in Pullman in search of her first win as head coach of the Cougars.
• WSU opened the season with a 72-61 loss to Utah State (Nov. 6), before falling 70-64 to Saint Mary’s (Nov. 11). Both games were play in Pullman on Friel Court at Beasley Coliseum.
• While Ethridge has replaced former coach June Daugherty in leading the WSU program, many of the players who have notched wins over Nebraska the past two seasons are still in Pullman.
• Borislava Hristova (a.k.a. Bobby Buckets) leads WSU in scoring with 20.0 points in 37.0 minutes per game through two contests. She has added 5.0 rebounds per game. Last year, Hristova scored 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting in a 73-61 win over the Huskers in Lincoln, including 2-of-5 threes. This year, the 6-0 forward from Bulgaria has hit just 1-of-12 threes, but is 15-of-24 (.625) on her two-point attempts.
• Senior Alexys Swedlund matched Hristova for team-high scoring honors last year with 16 points on 2-of-9 three-point shooting. She added six rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench. Swedlund, who ranks second among the Cougars with 12.0 points per game this season and leads the team with five threes, scored seven points in the WSU win in Las Vegas two seasons ago.
• A third starter from last year’s game between the Huskers and Cougars, 6-4 senior center Maria Kostourkova from Portugal, had six points and five rebounds in 13 minutes. She also had six points, four rebounds and four steals in 13 minutes off the bench against NU two seasons ago.
• Through two games this season, Kostourkova is averaging 7.0 points and a team-high 10.5 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per game.
