The Huskers added Petra Bozan, a 6-foot-3 forward from Croatia. The 18-year-old arrived in Lincoln Sunday night, just in time for the start of fall classes on Monday.

Bozan delivered a strong performance for Croatia at the FIBA ​​U18 Women’s Eurobasket in Portugal.

Bozan led Croatia in both points (113) and rebounds (70) through seven tournament games, ranking sixth among all players in the 16-team tournament in scoring (16.1 per game) and third in rebounds (10 per game).

Coach Amy Williams said Bozan is a great addition to Nebraska’s 13-player roster.

“Her size, skill set and experience make her a perfect addition to our current roster, and we are excited to watch her grow and develop,” Williams said in a press release.

In a game against Turkey earlier this month, Bozan scored 25 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and made two blocks. He made 10 of 16 attempts, including 3 of 6 three-pointers.

During the tournament, Bozan made 48% of her field goal attempts, including 27.3% (6-22) of her 3-pointers.

During the 2023–24 season, Bozan played for KAZL Split in the Croatian Premier League, where he averaged 15.6 points and 12.0 rebounds in 22 games, earning him a Second Team All-Premier League Player nomination.
