Kelsey Griffin notched a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, one of five Huskers in double figures leading Nebraska to an 89-47 exhibition win over UN-Kearney Sunday afternoon at the Devaney Sports Center.
The Huskers out-rebounded the Lopers 44-28 and forced 29 turnovers while committing 20 miscues, including seven in the second half.
Cory Montgomery and Dominique Kelley each led NU's scoring efforts with 13 points while center Catheryn Redmon added 10 points, seven rebounds, four blocked shots and two steals in just 13 minutes of action. Guard Yvonne Turner rounded out the Huskers in double figures with 10 points and four assists.
True freshman Lindsey Moore scored all eight of her points in the first half adding five assists and three rebounds.
Nebraska hit 53.8 percent (35-65) of its shots from the field, including 6-of-15 three-pointers (40 percent). NU also connected on 13-of-21 free throws.
Defensively, the Huskers held the Lopers to just 28.3 percent (15-53) shooting, including just 3-of-10 three-pointers. UNK did hit 14-of-16 shots from the foul line.
Debi Johnson led the Lopers with 13 of her game-high 18 points in the opening half. Lee Ann Jamison added 10 points while Vanessa Leeper pitched in eight points for a UNK squad that was able to dress only eight players because of a number of preseason injuries.
The Huskers open the regular-season hosting Davidson Friday at 7:05 p.m.
