Shepard led the Huskers in scoring and rebounding, while Blackburn joined Shepard in Nebraska’s starting five for each of the Big Red’s first nine games of the season before being sidelined by illness and injury for much of Big Ten play. Simon was a significant contributor through the first seven games before suffering a broken arm in a non-basketball accident in early December. She missed six games before returning to action at No. 8 Maryland on Jan. 7.
