Nebraska women’s basketball dominates South Dakota at the Sanford Pentagon

A dominant effort for Nebraska women’s basketball in Sioux Falls.

The Huskers routed the South Dakota Coyotes 113-70 on Saturday night at the Sanford Pentagon. NU improves to 4-0 while the Coyotes fall to 0-4.

The 113 points rank fourth in program history for points in a game. The record is 123 points against Howard in 1992.

South Dakota used a 7-0 run to take a 15-14 lead midway through the first quarter, but from then on it was all Nebraska. The Huskers led by 11 after the first and 27 at halftime.

NU led by as many as 46 before gearing up for the 43-point victory.

Nebraska shot 63.1% on the night, including 20-for-34 from 3. South Dakota shot 41.4% and made 10-for-30 3s.

Britt Prince scored a team-high 23 points, with four assists and two steals. Natalie Potts was next with 22 points and seven rebounds.

Alexis Markowski played the role of distributor in a way she hasn’t played in her Husker career. Markowski scored 14 points while dishing out a career-high seven assists.

Nebraska returns home to host North Alabama on Tuesday. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 PM CST tipoff on B1G+.
