2 2019-20 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

SCOUTING THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES • Michigan enters the Big Ten Tournament with a 19-10 record including a 10-8 Big Ten mark. The Wolverines, who earned the No. 7 seed in the tournament, are hoping to solidify their grip on an NCAA Tournament bid and possibly improve their seeding in the Big Dance. • Michigan had posted three straight wins before falling 78-60 to No. 22 Indiana on Senior Day in Ann Arbor on Sunday. The Maize and Blue own a 7-4 record since suffering a 74-71 loss to Nebraska in Lincoln on Jan. 19. That game marked the last for Wolverine senior forward Kayla Robbins, who suffered a knee injury early in the first half against the Cornhuskers. Robbins was averaging 12.2 points per game entering that contest. • In the only meeting between Nebraska and Michigan this season, Husker senior Hannah Whitish scored a game-high 20 points by knocking down a season-high six threes. She also had a game-high five assists. Sam Haiby added 18 points and a trio of threes, while Nicea Eliely pitched in 11 points and three threes of her own. Nebraska went 12-for-24 from long range against Michigan, while the Wolverines answered with 8-for-14 three-point shooting. Hailey Brown led Michigan with 17 points, Naz Hillmon had 15 and Akienreh Johnson contributed 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds. • Coach Kim Barnes Arico is in her eighth season leading Michigan and her 24th year as a head coach. The Wolverines finished 22-12 and 11-7 in the Big Ten last year, advancing to the second round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. • Michigan is led by sophomore forward Naz Hillmon, who is averaging team bests of 17.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Hillmon was the 2019 Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year and a member of the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. She was a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection by the conference coaches and media this season and has averaged 19.1 points the last 11 games. • Fellow sophomore Amy Dilk has been solid at the point for the Wolverines, averaging 11.7 points and 4.9 rebounds to go along with a team-best 4.4 assists. Dilk earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from league coaches this season, averaging 13.5 points since the injury to Robbins. • Michigan’s only active senior Akienreh Johnson is averaging 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds. She is averaging 12.3 points and 7.9 boards since the first meeting with Nebraska. • Junior Hailey Brown has pitched in 8.2 points and 3.1 rebounds this season. The 6-1 forward has averaged 11.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in four career meetings against Nebraska, including 8-for-15 three-point shooting. Brown did not play against Nebraska in the 2018 Big Ten Tournament. • Freshman guard Maddie Nolan has stepped into the Michigan starting five since the injury to Robbins and an injury to Danielle Rauch that followed. The 5-9 Nolan is averaging 2.7 points and 1.9 rebounds on the season, including 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds over the last five games. • Freshman forward/center Izabel Varejão has played a significant role inside, averaging 5.4 points and 3.9 rebounds on the season, including 5.8 points and 4.4 boards since the injury to Robbins. Varejão had eight points in nine minutes in the first meeting at Nebraska. • Michigan has gotten contributions off the bench from Michelle Sidor (3.6 ppg), Emily Kiser (3.3 ppg) and Priscilla Smeenge (1.7 ppg). • Michigan is shooting 45 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three and 68.7 percent from the free throw line this season. In the possession game, the Wolverines own a Big Ten-best plus-7.6 rebound margin but a minus-0.2 turnover margin.

NEBRASKA VS. MICHIGAN SERIES HISTORY • Nebraska owns a 14-5 edge in the all-time series with Michigan, including a 74-71 win in the only meeting this season at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln (Jan. 19). • The Huskers have won three of the last four meetings with the Wolverines, including a 61-54 victory over Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on March 2, 2018, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis - the only neutral site meeting between the two schools. • Nebraska is 7-3 all-time against Michigan in Lincoln. The Huskers are 7-2 all-time against the Wolverines away from home, including 6-2 in Ann Arbor and 1-0 at the Big Ten Tournament. • The series has been evenly matched as Big Ten foes, with Nebraska owning an 8-5 edge since joining the conference in 2011-12. • Nebraska was 6-0 against Michigan as non-conference foes dating back to the first meeting between the two teams on Nov. 28, 1980 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln. The Huskers won 118-92 in the highest scoring game in Nebraska women’s basketball history.

NEBRASKA STREAKS • Kate Cain owns Nebraska’s longest streak of consecutive starts (90). • Nicea Eliely owns Nebraska’s second-longest streak of starts (85). • Nicea Eliely and Leigha Brown are the only Huskers to score in every game this season. • Kate Cain is the only Husker to record at least one rebound in all 29 games this season. • Eliely was the only Husker to score in all 30 games last season, and the only Husker to score in all of Nebraska’s games against Big Ten Conference foes. She has scored in 63 consecutive games overall. She did not score in a win over Penn State on Feb. 22, 2018, the only time in the past three seasons (including 2019-20, 83 games) that Eliely was shut out. • The Huskers have knocked down at least one three in 371 straight games dating back to a loss at UTEP on Dec. 20, 2008. Nebraska has hit at least two three-pointers in 250 consecutive games.

NUMBERS TO WATCH • (2) Kate Cain needs two blocks to reach 100 on the year to tie her own Nebraska season record. • (4.0) Kate Cain and Kristian Hudson posted perfect 4.0 grade-point averages during the fall semester of 2019.

Game Highlights: Nebraska played a strong all-around game and Hannah Whitish became the 33rd 1,000-point scorer in Husker history, as the Big Red rolled to a 73-39 win over defending SWAC champion Southern at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Whitish scored her 1,000th career point on a mid-range jumper near the left elbow midway through the first quarter to give Nebraska a 10-5 lead. That lead grew to 30-14 midway through the second quarter after Whitish buried a pair of three-pointers. She finished the night with eight points to go along with five rebounds and five assists. Leigha Brown led a balanced Big Red attack with a game-high 16 points, while Ashtyn Veerbeek pitched in 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds.

Sam Haiby led four Huskers in double figures with a game-high 19 points, while Nicea Eliely added 14 for the Big Red. Kate Cain had a double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Despite a poor rebounding performance and a 2-for-17 shooting day from three-point range, the Huskers led 59-57 as MSU inbounded the ball with 3.8 seconds left. Nebraska’s Isabelle Bourne deflected the inbounds pass then dove for the loose ball, colliding with Spartan Tory Ozment, who also dove for the ball as it rolled to the baseline. Bourne was called for a foul with 2.2 seconds left, and Ozment hit both free throws to send the game to OT. The Spartans led from start to finish in OT to improve to 6-0 at home on the year.

Game Highlights: Nebraska used red-hot three-point shooting to rally from a 13-point third-quarter deficit to take a seven-point lead in the final minute before holding on for a 74-71 win over Michigan at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Hannah Whitish tied a career high with six three-pointers to finish with a season-high 20 points. Sam Haiby added three threes on her way to 18 points, and Nicea Eliely knocked down three triples to finish with 11 points - all in the second half.

Game Highlights: Nebraska rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to leave Wisconsin with a 72-71 win over the Badgers at the Kohl Center. The Huskers led 38-36 at halftime, but struggled to 3-for-17 shooting in the third quarter and headed to the fourth down 57-47 on the road. The Badgers maintained a 59-49 lead with eight minutes left before back-to-back three-point plays by Kate Cain and Leigha Brown sparked the Huskers. Brown, who led the Huskers with 20 points, added another three-point play later in the quarter and a pair of big free throws to finish with eight points in the decisive fourth quarter. Cain finished with 11 points, a game-high nine rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Ashtyn Veerbeek and Sam Haiby added 11 points each and made the game’s biggest plays down the stretch. Just 20 seconds after Wisconsin’s Imani Lewis hit her first three of the season to put the Badgers up 68-67, Veerbeek answered with her third three of the game to give Nebraska a 70-68 lead. With 7.7 seconds, Haiby grabbed her career-high fifth steal, then buried a pair of free throws two seconds later to seal NU’s first Big Ten road win.

Game Highlights: In a back-and-fourth game that featured runs throughout, Minnesota made the game’s last surge in the fourth quarter to claim a 67-61 victory over Nebraska at Williams Arena. The Huskers trailed early but closed the first quarter strong to take a 19-15 lead to the second. The teams were tied at 27 before the Huskers erupted on a 12-0 run over a three-minute stretch late in the second quarter. The Gophers ended the run with a last-second three by Masha Adashchyk to end the half and send the Huskers to the locker room with a 39-30 lead. But Minnesota opened the second half with 10 straight points to claim a 40-39 lead. Nebraska rebuilt a six-point lead at 55-49 midway through the fourth, but the Gophers outscored NU 18-6 down the stretch to split the season series with the Huskers. Turnovers plagued Nebraska in the second half, as the Huskers committed 13 miscues in the final 20 minutes. Minnesota capitalized by outscoring NU 14-0 in points off turnovers in the second half. Leigha Brown (15) and Hannah Whitish (13) led the Huskers on the night, but the duo combined for just five points in the second half. Kate Cain provided a bright spot for the Huskers with six blocked shots, becoming Nebraska’s career leader in that category at the end of the night with 241 after 83 career games. She broke the previous mark of 238, set by Janet Smith (1979-82) over a span of 136 career games.

Game Highlights: Nebraska put together its best first half of the season, building a 49-34 halftime lead, but the Huskers struggled through their worst shooting half of the year to fall 80-74 in overtime to Ohio State at Pinnacle Bank Arena. After trailing 17-10 early, the Huskers erupted for 15 points in the final four minutes of the first quarter to take a 25-23 lead on a buzzer-beating three by Hannah Whitish to end their highest scoring first quarter of the year. They continued to surge in the second period, capped by a buzzer-beating layup from Kate Cain to end the half up 15. In the third quarter, NU went 1-for-12 from the field, including 0-for-7 from long range. In the fourth, the Huskers went just 3-for-16. Despite going 4-for-28 from the floor in the second half, Nebraska never trailed in the second half and Ohio State didn’t tie it until Kierstan Bell’s shot with one minute left to close the scoring in regulation tied at 68. Nebraska led 74-72 with just over a minute left in OT, but the Buckeyes closed the game on an 8-0 run in the final 1:06 to claim the victory. The 21 combined blocks (12, Nebraska; 9, Ohio State) were the most in a game in Husker history. The 113 combined rebounds were the fourth-most in Nebraska history, and the most since 1990.

Game Highlights: Nebraska struggled through 0-for-16 three-point shooting over the first three quarters and was not able to recover, as Ohio State notched a 65-52 win over the Huskers at Value City Arena. Both teams worked to find offense in the first 10 minutes, heading to the second quarter tied at 12. But Dorka Juhasz caught fire for the Buckeyes in the second quarter with 12 points, including nine in a 14-0 run that put Ohio State in control.

The Huskers, who went 0-for-13 from long range in the first half, couldn’t get going in the third either, trailing 53-33 heading to the final quarter. But Leigha Brown and Sam Haiby hit threes early in the third and Nebraska used a 12-3 surge to cut the Buckeye lead to 11 at 56-45 with six minutes left. The Huskers had multiple possessions to cut the lead to single digits, holding OSU scoreless for more than five minutes in the fourth quarter. But Nebraska was unable to get over the hump, as Ohio State secured the season sweep of the Big Red.

Back-to-back threes by Jaelynn Penn and Patberg and a traditional three-point play by Grace Berger extended the margin to 61-41 just 2:07 into the fourth quarter, and the Huskers could not recover. Patberg led all scorers with 26 points, including four three-pointers, while Berger added 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Hoosiers. Brown led Nebraska with 22 points, while Hannah Whitish was the only other Husker to manage double figures with 11 points. Brown went 7-for-12 from the field, but the rest of the Huskers went just 10-for-49, as Nebraska suffered through a season-low 27.9 percent shooting from the field. Nebraska also dished out a season-low three assists.

FRESHMAN (2019-20) Makenzie Helms made her collegiate debut and recorded an assist in Nebraska’s season-opening win over Alabama A&M (Nov. 6). She made her second appearance in a win over Morgan State (Nov. 14). She missed NU’s games with SIUE and Southern while battling illness. She recorded the first points and rebounds of her career in a win over Sacred Heart at the South Point Shootout (Nov. 30). Helms made her first Big Ten appearance in a win over Wisconsin (Jan. 9). She made her most significant contributions of the year with three points and three assists in seven minutes off the bench against No. 18 Indiana. Helms helped spark a 10-0 Nebraska run midway through the second quarter that helped rally the Huskers from a 25-point deficit to eventually tie the Hoosiers in the fourth quarter. She followed with a career-high 12 minutes against Penn State, adding another three-point play in the first half to help rally the Huskers to a halftime lead. Helms added three assists in just over four minutes at No. 19 Northwestern (Feb. 16). Helms was the 2019 Connecticut High School Player of the Year after averaging 26.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 4.3 steals at East Haven High School. She was limited during the summer while recovering from offseason surgery and did not compete in Nebraska’s summer tour in Europe. However, she has progressed well since the start of the fall semester and could become a contributor for the Huskers as a freshman. Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said the creative and competitive instincts of Helms will make her an asset for the Huskers in the future.

“We are excited to add Makenzie to the Husker women’s basketball family,” Williams said. “She has incredible court vision and creates offense for her teammates with tempo and passing ability. Combining that with her confident scoring mentality and her ability to score at all three levels, Makenzie is a great fit for the versatility we like in our system. She is an intense competitor, and we are eager to have her fighting for the Huskers.” BEFORE NEBRASKA Helms captured Gatorade Connecticut High School Player-of-the-Year honors by averaging 26.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 4.3 steals while leading the East Haven Yellowjackets to the Southern Connecticut Conference title. Helms, who was the conference player of the year, led East Haven to a 20-5 overall record and a spot in the Connecticut Class L state quarterfinals. She was the first commitment to Nebraska’s 2018-19 class, making her intentions known in January of 2018. Her commitment followed a junior season in 2017-18 in which Helms averaged 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 4.0 steals per game. East Haven finished No. 3 in the state of Connecticut with a 25-3 record in 2017-18. Helms earned first-team all-state honors and was a USA Today first-team All-Connecticut selection. As a sophomore, Helms averaged 16.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals at the Loomis Chaffee School. She earned All-New England accolades as both a freshman and sophomore.

She played her summer basketball for New Heights NYC for Coach Rock Rosa, averaging 20 points, six rebounds, eight assists and five steals per contest. ESPN ranked her as the No. 27 point guard in the class of 2019.

PERSONAL The daughter of Lance and Jocelyn Helms, Makenzie has two older sisters, Cynthia and Cassie, and a younger brother, Logan. Helms is majoring in political science at Nebraska. She chose Nebraska over Syracuse, Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Kentucky, Yale, Penn, Rutgers and Georgia Tech.

FRESHMAN (2019-20) Trinity Brady brings strength and versatility to Nebraska’s backcourt as a freshman. One of the top high school players in Indiana in 2017-18, Brady completed her prep career at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Tennessee. Brady missed Nebraska’s first 10 games as part of the concussion protocol, before making her regular-season debut in the win over Manhattan (Dec. 22). She played in 17 consecutive games before missing the Illinois game (Feb. 22) while resting an injury. Brady played strong defense while recording two points, four rebounds, an assist and a block in 16 minutes off the bench against the Jaspers. She hit the first three-pointer of her career and added two assists and her first career steal in the win over Iowa (Dec. 28). Brady’s three gave Nebraska a 30-27 second-quarter lead, and the Huskers led the rest of the way. She sparked a 10-0 first-quarter run at Michigan State with two points, two steals and two rebounds to help Nebraska lead for much of the game against the Spartans before falling in OT on New Year’s Eve in East Lansing. Brady scored a career-high seven points and knocked down a career-best two threes while adding two rebounds in nine minutes off the bench at Rutgers (Jan. 12). She scored five points in a 10-0 second-quarter run that sparked Nebraska in a rally from a 25-point first-half deficit against No. 18 Indiana (Feb. 9). The Huskers eventually tied the game in the fourth quarter. Brady scored eight points and had eight rebounds in an exhibition win over Rogers State (Nov. 2). An opponent fell on Brady inside the paint late in the game, contacting her head and shoulder area.

Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said Brady’s skill, work ethic and high basketball IQ could make her a strong contributor to the future of the Husker program. “Our coaching staff has been very impressed with Trinity’s coachability and how quickly she picks things up,” Williams said. “She is already one of our better help-defenders, and she is determined and focused. She brings a fun, upbeat personality to our team, and we need that energy.”

BEFORE NEBRASKA The final piece of Nebraska’s three-player recruiting class, Brady came to Nebraska after completing her senior season at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tenn. She was ranked as the No. 106 player overall in the 2019 class by Prospects Nation. The Lady Hawks finished the season No. 18 in the final USA Today Super 25 rankings with a 22-3 overall record. Hamilton Heights Christian Academy fell to Riverdale Baptist in the NACA Championships. Brady competed for Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis her first three seasons. As a junior, Brady averaged 21.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists to earn a spot on the IBCA Subway Supreme 15 Underclass All-State Team. She was also a member of the Indiana Junior All-Star Team and the Central Indiana Super Team. She led Lawrence North to a 20-4 record and produced several huge individual efforts as a junior in 2017-18, including a 38-point performance against Tindley, 30 points in a win over Pike and 28 points against nationally ranked North Central.

As a sophomore, Brady averaged 15 points and 7.5 rebounds per game for Lawrence North, after averaging 7.2 points and 6.0 rebounds as a freshman. She played her club basketball with the George Hill Lady Stars for coaches Mike Saunders and DeJuan Howard.

PERSONAL Trinity is the daughter of Vincent and Jamie Brady, and she has a younger brother, Vincent II. Brady is majoring in criminology and criminal justice at Nebraska. She had approximately 20 scholarship offers before ultimately choosing Nebraska over Marquette, Dayton and Illinois. “I fell in love with the atmosphere when I visited. I really liked the warmth of the relationships the coaches had with each other and the players, and I felt like I would fit in great with the team and the community.”

JUNIOR (2019-20) One of the nation’s most accurate long-range shooters, Taylor Kissinger battled a pair of early season injuries before being forced out for the season prior to Nebraska’s game with Oral Roberts (Dec. 14). Kissinger, who battled a hip injury throughout preseason and non-conference play, underwent season-ending hip surgery on Jan. 3. Kissinger had four points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds off the bench in Nebraska’s season-opening win over Alabama A&M (Nov. 6), then entered the concussion protocol after a collision in practice (Nov. 8). She missed Nebraska’s next four games. Prior to succumbing to the hip injury, Kissinger tied a career high with six three-pointers to finish with a team-high 19 points in a win over Duke (Dec. 4). She also tied a career high with four assists. She scored 11 points in a win over over Sacred Heart (Nov. 30), after putting up eight points in a win over USC (Nov. 29). Kissinger returned to action against Creighton (Nov. 24), but had just one full practice leading up to the game. Kissinger ranked No. 4 nationally and led the Big Ten with her .456 three-point percentage as a sophomore. The 6-1 shooter from Minden, Neb., made 24 starts while enjoying her healthiest season since early in her high school career.

SOPHOMORE (2018-19) Kissinger led the Big Ten by tying the Nebraska season three-point field goal percentage record (.456, 62-136). Her 62 threes were the fifth-best total by a sophomore in Husker history. She averaged 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists. She stared NU’s first 24 games, before missing starts at No. 7 Maryland (Feb. 14) and No. 24 Michigan State (Feb. 17) while recovering from illness. She came off the bench the final six games, producing double figures in three of those six games, including a 15-point effort on 5-of-10 three-point shooting in the Big Ten Tournament against Purdue (March 7). Her five threes were the third-best total by a Husker in Big Ten Tournament history. She closed the regular season with 14 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting in a road win at Penn State (March 2). Kissinger had a record-setting effort against USC Upstate (Nov. 11) when she went a perfect 6-for-6 from three-point range on her way to a season-high 22 points. She had 18 points in a win over Denver (Dec. 15), after getting 17 vs. San Jose State (Dec. 8). Kissinger posted her second career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in a win over KU (Dec. 5). She notched 12 double-figure efforts on the year, including 15 points at Wisconsin (Jan. 27), 12 at Michigan (Feb. 7).

FRESHMAN (2017-18) Kissinger averaged 10.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25 games with seven starts. She shot 40.8 percent from the field, including 36.2 percent from three-point range, while knocking down 71.7 percent of her free throws. She joined Kate Cain (9.9 ppg) as the first pair of Husker freshmen to both average 9.9 points per game since Debra Powell and Crystal Coleman in 1981-82. Kissinger made an instant impact, averaging a team-best 14.0 points per game through NU’s first seven contests before suffering a knee injury

late in a one-point loss to Clemson (Nov. 30). She missed six consecutive games for the Huskers to close non-conference play. Kissinger produced 12 double-figure scoring efforts in 25 contests, including a career-high 25 points in a win over Arkansas (Nov. 16).

PERSONAL The daughter of Brian and Amy Kissinger, Taylor was born March 10, 1999. Her parents were both collegiate student-athletes, with Brian playing basketball and Amy playing volleyball at NCAA Division II Nebraska-Kearney. Kissinger’s older twin sisters were both Division I guards. Brooke completed her playing career at Creighton in 2018-19, after spending her first two seasons at Illinois. Jamie completed her eligibility at San Diego in 2017-18. Taylor’s brother Derek played college basketball at NAIA Hastings College. A mathematics education major, Taylor is a five-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. She also earned spots on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2018 and 2019.

SOPHOMORE (2019-20) Kayla Mershon (pronounced MER-shawn) played her way into Nebraska’s starting lineup during the second half of her freshman season. The 6-3 forward from Chanhassen, Minn., provides a steady and consistent presence inside at both ends of the court, while also supplying versatility to the Huskers. As a sophomore, Mershon is averaging 1.5 points and 2.6 rebounds. She made her first start of the season in place of an injured Ashtyn Veerbeek in Nebraska’s win over Manhattan (Dec. 22). She had four points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal against the Jaspers. Mershon scored a season-high five points in a win over Illinois (Feb. 22). She grabbed a career-high nine rebounds and tied a career-high with two steals at Ohio State (Feb. 19). She opened the season with four points, five rebounds and a block in 15 minutes off the bench in a win over Alabama A&M (Nov. 6). She added four rebounds and a block in a win at Missouri (Nov. 10), before getting two points, four rebounds and another block in a win over Morgan State (Nov. 14). She had four points in a win over Sacred Heart (Nov. 30), before getting four more points in a win over Oral Roberts (Dec. 14). Mershon had six rebounds vs. Creighton (Nov. 24) and five boards in a win over No. 24 Minnesota (Jan. 4).

FRESHMAN (2018-19) Mershon earned her way into the starting lineup for the final 14 games, after coming off the bench in her first 16 games as a true freshman. A solid defender and good facilitator who rarely turns the ball over, Mershon averaged 3.2 points and 3.0 rebounds on the season. Over the final seven games, Mershon averaged 4.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists

and 1.1 steals, including a career-high-tying eight points in a win at Penn State (March 2). She added four rebounds, an assist, a block and two steals against the Lady Lions. Mershon established her career high with eight points, while adding four boards off the bench against No. 9 Maryland (Jan. 8). She added seven points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal the next time out against Rutgers (Jan. 13), before making her first career start in a win at Illinois (Jan. 17). She scored five points against the Illini, including NU’s final points at the free throw line. Mershon grabbed a career-high seven rebounds off the bench in a win over Kansas (Dec. 5), before matching that total with seven boards against Northwestern (Jan. 24). She established a career best with three assists in Nebraska’s Big Ten-opening win over Michigan (Dec. 28), before matching that mark with three assists against No. 12 Iowa (Feb. 25). She had two steals seven times, including at Arkansas (Dec. 18) when she also blocked a career-high two shots. Mershon played a career-high 30 minutes in a win over Purdue (Feb. 10). In Big Ten play, Mershon hit 36.4 percent of her threes (8-22) and 75 percent (18-24) of her free throws, while averaging 3.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

BEFORE NEBRASKA A six-time high school basketball letterwinner, Mershon was a four-time first-team All-Lake Conference for Coach Leah Dasovich. Mershon averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds as a junior in 2016-17. She helped Minnetonka to its first state title in 2016. She capped her career by averaging 12.7 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks as a senior. She was ranked the No. 132 overall player in the country by Prospects Nation and was rated as the No. 14 wing nationally by ESPN.

Mershon also played club basketball at the highest level for Coach Gerard Coury and the North Tartan program, which won the Minnesota State AAU title seven years in a row. Mershon played for North Tartan alongside Sam Haiby. She was also invited to Nike All-American National Elite Camp in 2014, and advanced to the second round of tryouts for USA Basketball in 2016. She also competed internationally with North Tartan in Europe against national teams from France and the Netherlands.

PERSONAL The daughter of Rick and Leslie Mershon, Kayla was born May 30, 1999, in Royal Oak, Mich. She has two sisters, Lauren and Ally. Kayla is majoring in marketing and earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in the fall of 2018. She was also a member of the 2019 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
