Nebraska's all-Big Eight forward
Maurtice Ivy said she feels she's on her
way to her best season yet, leading the
Cornhuskers to a possible Big Eight
championship this season.
Ivy, a junior from Omaha Central
High School, is starting for the third
straight year and climbing the list of
Nebraska record holders in both scor
ing and rebounding.
Ivy said she feels responsible for the
success of the team this season.
"I'm a leader on and off the court,"
Ivy said. "I have to give everyone else
on the team my support."
She said, however, that Nebraska's
coach, Angela Beck, has made the big
gest impact on the team this year. Ivy
said that Beck has brought the team
together and established herself well
as their new coach.
Averaging 23 points and eight re
bounds per game, Ivy is making a siza
ble impact herself. She set a new all
time Nebraska individual game scoring
record with 46 points against Illinois.
She has also had double figures in scor
ing and rebounding in five games this
season.
In high school, Ivy led the state in
scoring for three years. In her last two
seasons she led Omaha Central to a
50-0 record and two consecutive state
championships.
Ivy said she chose Nebraska over 200
other schools that recruited her.
"I came here mainly because of my
parents," Ivy said. "It's close to home
so my parents can come see me play."
As a freshman, Ivy averaged 14 points
per game and 5.5 rebounds. During her
sophomore year she improved those
marks, scoring 531 points (19.7 per
game), pulling down 233 rebounds (8.6
per game) and leaping for 27 blocked
shots. She led the team in all three
areas.
Ivy said that despite feeling the
responsibility to achieve equal or bet
ter performances this season, she
doesn't feel any pressure.
"Handling the pressure isjust some
thing I'm used to doing," she said.
"I think we can win the Big Eight
this year," Ivy said, "and I'd like to see
us go to NCAA's too. I want us to get
established in the polls."
Ivy says she is working to make all
Big Eight for the second consecutive
season as well as second-team Ail
American. Ivy said she hopes to make
first-team All-American as a senior
next year.
