Nebraska WBB Gets a Big Night From Leigha Brown in Win Over Purdue

The Husker women grab a 67-61 win behind a fourth quarter comeback led by Eliely’s defense and Brown’s offense

If you had told me that Hannah Whitish would score ZERO points against Purdue, I would have been pretty sure the Huskers had lost.

Fortunately, future B1G Freshman-of-the-Week Leigha Brown filled up the left side of the stats sheet with the first 30 point performance by a Husker in two seasons. Twenty-two of those points were scored in the second half; 13 in the final quarter, and six in the final minute.

Nebraska improved to 6-7 in the Big Ten and 11-13 overall while setting a school record with its 12th game of the season decided by two possessions or less. Purdue slipped to 16-10 overall and 7-6 in the conference. The Huskers are currently in a tie for 9th place in the conference standings, but are within one game of 5th. It is a logjam in the B1G.
