LINCOLN, Neb. - Sophomore forward Malia Nawahine scored 14 points for her second double-digit-point game in three games to start this season, but the University of Utah women's basketball team lost 66-43 at No. 15/16 Nebraska on Sunday at the Devaney Sports Center.
Utah (1-2) was led throughout the game by Nawahine, who made five of her 10 field goal attempts for her second double-figure effort in three games to start this season. She also grabbed two rebounds.
Sophomore Paige Crozon scored nine points for the second consecutive game as she was 3-for-4 from 3-point territory and tied for team-high honors with six boards and a block.
Freshman forward Tanaeya Boclair also scored nine points and collected a season-high four rebounds.
Freshman center Joeseta Fatuesi corralled six rebounds to tie for the team-high mark.
Senior forward Taryn Wicijowski added six points and grabbed four boards, while junior Danielle Rodriguez handed out five assists, pulled down five rebounds and scored four points.
The Huskers scored the first seven points of the contest before Crozon lifted the lid with a 3-pointer to make it 7-3. Nebraska was able to extend to a 14-point lead (19-5) as five straight points (a lay-in and 3-point play) by Nawahine brought Utah back within 11 (19-8). Unfortunately, the Cornhuskers were able to push their lead out to as many as 23 (31-8) before a five unanswered by Boclair, but Nebraska took a 38-17 advantage into halftime. Nawahine and Boclair led the way with five points apiece in the opening half, while Fatuesi grabbed four rebounds.
The Utes scored 15 of the first 22 points of the second half as Crozon drained a pair of 3-pointers to cut Utah's deficit to 13 (45-32). Utah connected on three of its first four attempts from distance and six of its first 10 shots. Unfortunately, Utah could get no closer than 13 as Nebraska came away with the 66-43 victory.
No. 15/16 Nebraska (4-0) was led by a 25-point, nine-rebound effort by Emily Cady.
The Utes close out their four-game road trip at the Nugget Classic in Reno, Nev., next weekend, starting Friday at 6:30 p.m. PT against Ole Miss in the Lawlor Events Center. Saturday's contest will be against either Portland or Nevada at either 2 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. PT, depending on Friday's results.
