But Lindsay Thompson drilled a shot wide left from 15feet out “We knew tiiat should have been a goal,” Oskam said. “That would have given us a little bit of momentum going into the second hair’ Nebraska’s quickness and aggressiveness kept the ball away from Raiders’ forward Kristy Frantz, the Big 12’s second-leading scorer. Frantz said she dropped back to help the defense more than she normally would have.

They took pressure off the back,” he said after Baylor fell to 7-2. Though Baylor entered Friday ;s game with a better record than the Huskers, Waldrum said it was difficult for his team not to be intimidated playing Nebraska, especially in Lincoln. “They are a milestone we all shoot for,” he said.
