Penn State Crushes NU Women 80-58

Guards Alex Bentley and Maggie Lucas each scored 19 points to help No. 8 Penn State beat the Nebraska women 80-58 Sunday afternoon in State College.

Ariel Edwards added 15 of the bench for the Lady Lions (13-2, 3-0), who won their seventh straight. Emily Cady scored 17 to lead the Huskers (12-5, 2-2), who shot just 31 from the field.

After a choppy start, Penn State pulled away with a 14-4 run over the final three minutes of the first half. Bentley hit a three to start the run before finishing it with a heave from just beyond the half court line for an improbable three just before the buzzer and a 40-27 lead.

Penn State didn't let up from there and led by as much as 26 in the second half against cold-shooting Nebraska.
