The No. 23 Huskers welcome in a Southland Conference contender Saturday afternoon.
The Huskers shot 57.6% including a 5-for-15 showing from beyond the arc as NU forced 24 turnovers, but had 20 of their own. With a 21-11 lead after the first quarter, a 26-4 second frame outburst opened the floodgates for NU’s season-opening win.
Guzzardo and the Lions didn’t fall back too much last year, finishing 19-12, tying second in the Southland conference and losing by one to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Leading scorer Hailey Giaratano was named to the All-Southland First Team for her season, but graduated and is now the program’s assistant coach and director of player development. Two others ran out of eligibility, but SLU has its core returning for the 2024-25 season.
Graduate guard Alexius Horne was a 2022-23 All-Southland first team selection, but missed all of last season due to injury. She’s back in the starting lineup and dropped 14 points in the season opener.
