Nebraska women’s basketball got the win on Tuesday, but ultimately suffered a defeat.

During the second quarter against North Alabama, a turnover led to a fastbreak opportunity for the Lions. Nebraska sophomore Natalie Potts was able to pull back and cut off the attack, but as she turned to contest the shot, her knee gave out.

Nebraska coach Amy Williams said after the game that more evaluation would be needed to know the extent of the injury. On Wednesday afternoon, Potts announced on social media that she had a torn ACL.

“I am devastated to announce that I have torn my ACL and will be out for the remainder of the season,” Potts wrote. “Nothing has stopped me before and I certainly won’t let this stop me now. This journey will certainly have its challenges, but these are challenges I am prepared to take on.

“As the road to recovery begins, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers. I am surrounded by the best and I can’t wait to support my amazing teammates from the sidelines. I will come back stronger than every time before. As always… GO BIG RED.”

Last season, Potts was the unanimous selection by league coaches for Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Through the first four games of this season, Potts averaged 17.5 points and eight rebounds per game.
