Kearney, Neb. –&nbsp;The Nebraska Kearney volleyball team has placed four players on the 2024&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.avca.org/award/2024-avca-division-ii-womens-all-america-teams/">American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-American</a>&nbsp;team and one on the&nbsp;Division II Commissioners Association (D2 CCA) All-American&nbsp;squad.

A panel of head coaches from around the country select the AVCA team with the D2CCA chosen by College Sports Communications (CSC). For both, a player must first make their respective all-region team.

UNK's four AVCA selections tie the program record (2004) for the most in one season. They are setter&nbsp;Peyton Neff&nbsp;(first team), middle&nbsp;Mia Berg&nbsp;(third team), libero&nbsp;Alli Wiese&nbsp;(third team) and outside hitter&nbsp;Asha Regier&nbsp;(honorable mention). Wiese is now a three-time AVCA All-American (2022 and 2023 h.m.) with Neff a two-timer (2023 h.m.). These are the first honors for both Berg and Regier.

Next, Wiese becomes the 11th Loper to earn CCA (previously Daktronics) All-American honors and the first in five years. This is her first time making the squad. Finally, since&nbsp;Rick Squiers&nbsp;took over the program in 1999, UNK has had 29 different players earn a total of 43 All-American honors.

Neff finished her third year as a starter averaging 12.4 assists, 2.5 digs, 0.7 blocks, and 0.5 kills per set while serving up 17 aces. One of three Lopers that appeared in all 112 sets, she guided an offense that averaged 14.6 kps and hit .258. Finally, Neff (North Platte) was one of five Lopers with at least 10 solo blocks and one of six with a double-digit ace total.

In her lone year in Kearney, Wiese (Mattawan, Mich.) averaged 5.5 digs per set with a team-best 34 aces, 92 assists and a .970 serve receive percentage. Playing in all 112 sets, her dig average is the second highest 29 years, and she completes a five-year career with 2,887 digs and 227 aces.

Next, Berg was UNK's top scorer (398.0 points) as she ranked second on the team in kills (3.1 per set) and first in blocks (1.2 per set). Hitting .318, she played in 104 sets and managed team-bests in both solo (26) and assisted (94) blocks. Offensively, Berg (Eureka, Mo.) was one of three Lopers to reach 300 kills.

That trio included Regier (Newton, Kan.) who led UNK in both kills (354) and kps (3.4). She finished the year strong once again, reaching at least 10 kills in the final 11 matches. That included a career-high 20 in the NCAA Tournament loss to Washburn. Also supplying 44 blocks, 87 digs, 12 assists and two aces, the multi-year starter ends a four-year career with 916 kills.

UNK (30-3) won the 2024 MIAA regular season title, was MIAA tourney runners up for a third straight season and made the NCAA's for a 25th consecutive fall.

Knights return to win column with victory over Broncos

North Platte, Neb. – North Platte erased an eight-point second half deficit to defeat Central Community College, 74-67, to open conference play on Tuesday night.

"We did a good job of not panicking and taking one possession at a time," said head coach Jacob Brandl. "Overall, I was really happy with our defense and guard play down the stretch."

Sedrick Nari led the way with 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field, as North Platte forced 14 second half turnovers to rally from a 55-47 deficit with 10:26 to play.

North Platte put the final touches on their win by going 7-of-8 from the free throw line in the final minute to seal the game.

Mo Diao recorded his fourth double-double of the season totaling 12 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes, while Trey Summers (13) and Maurice Reide (10) round out the North Platte players in double digits.&nbsp;

Raiders capitalized on the up-tempo offense to build an 11-4 lead in the opening minutes of the first half. A short 4-0 spurt with 11:27 remaining cut the margin to three, but the Raiders responded by stretching their lead into double digits with 9:36 to play.

Knights went back to work and managed to cut the margin to 29-23 after four quick points by Diao. Raiders continued to respond down the stretch to carry a 41-33 lead into the break.

Lincoln -&nbsp;Senior transfer Alberte Rimdal led a balanced Big Red attack with 12 points and a career-high six assists, as No. 25 Nebraska rolled to an 84-65 women's basketball win over previously unbeaten Minnesota in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams on Sunday afternoon at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Senior Alexis Markowski just missed a double-double with 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds, while Minnesotan Callin Hake added 11 points of her own including a trio of three-pointers to help the Huskers improve to 8-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big Ten. Nebraska also extended its home winning streak to 10 straight games. The Golden Gophers slipped to 10-1 overall and 0-1 in the conference.

Amiah Hargrove rounded out the four Huskers in double figures with 10 points and a career-high eight rebounds in just 14 minutes off the bench to lead a hugely productive effort by the Big Red freshmen. Petra Bozan pitched in nine points and five rebounds, while Britt Prince contributed seven points and a career-high seven boards to go along with three assists.&nbsp;

As a group, Nebraska's freshmen combined for 26 points and 20 rebounds in 55 total minutes, while Minnesota's four returning starters of Amaya Battle, Mallory Heyer, Sophie Hart and Grace Grocholski combined for 31 points and 20 rebounds in 116 minutes.

Logan Nissley contributed eight points, while Kendall Moriarty added seven points in strong efforts. Minnesotan Kendall Coley also pitched in five points and six rebounds in her second consecutive start. Coley scored all five of her points late in the second period to send Nebraska to halftime with a 36-19 lead.

Nebraska's 84 points were 28 more than any of the previous 10 Gopher opponents were able to muster, as the Huskers hit 51.7 percent (31-60) of their field goals, including 12-of-28 threes (.429) against a Minnesota squad that had been allowing just 46 points per game. The Big Red also dominated the glass, 49-30, against a Gopher club that entered the game with a plus-8.8 margin on the boards.&nbsp;

The Huskers held Minnesota to just 35.2 percent (25-71) shooting for the game, including just 17.9 percent (7-39) in the first half. The Gophers finished 5-for-21 from three-point range after going 1-for-14 in the first half. Minnesota did win the turnover battle, 15-4.

Nebraska opened the game on a 12-2 surge that included four points from Markowski, a putback from Nissley and back-to-back threes from Prince and Hake to set the tone for the game.&nbsp;

Minnesota rallied to cut the lead to six points at 17-11, before Hargrove sparked a 10-0 run with eight straight points in a 1:09 stretch, including back-to-back three-pointers. Prince capped the run with a bucket at the buzzer to send the Huskers to the second quarter with a 27-11 lead.

In a low-scoring second quarter, Minnesota cut the lead to 27-15 with two early baskets before Rimdal scored four straight. Alexsia Rose, who had 10 points in just over 11 minutes off the bench for the Gophers, then scored Minnesota's final four points of the half, while Coley responded with five for the Big Red.

Minnesota scored the first two buckets of the third quarter, and eventually trimmed the margin to 46-34 with 3:36 left in the period. However, a Hargrove basket followed by five straight points from Bozan and a three-pointer from Rimdal capped a 10-1 surge that gave Nebraska its first 20-point of the game at 56-35 with 1:45 left in the quarter and forced a Minnesota timeout.

Nebraska took a 21-point lead to the fourth and built the margin to 28 points, the last time on Moriarty's three-point play with 5:28 left to make it 74-46.

All 11 Huskers scored at least one point and grabbed at least one rebound in the game, while Minnesota played just eight players. Heyer led the Gophers with 12 points and eight rebounds, while Tori McKinney added 11 points. Grocholski and Rose both pitched in 10 points, while former Husker Annika Stewart added nine points, including seven points in the final five minutes to help pull the Gophers within 20 at the buzzer.

Nebraska continues its five-game homestand against Tarleton State on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. (CT). Tickets are available now at Huskers.com. The game will be broadcast on B1G+ and can be heard across the Huskers Radio Network, including Huskers.com.

Area Sports scores and Wrestling Results from 12-07

By: Con Marshall CSC Sports Information

CHADRON, Neb. – The Chadron State College women's basketball team led from start to finish while opening its Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference schedule with a 71-67 victory over South Dakota Mines on the Eagles' home court Thursday night.

Most of the game was not as close as the final score would indicate. The Eagles, now 2-5 for the season and 1-0 in RMAC play, held a 12-3 lead after the first eight minutes had been played and eventually were ahead by 18 points—33-15--with 2:23 left in the second period. However, Mines scored eight of the last 10 points prior to halftime, cutting the difference to 35-23 at the break. In the second half, South Dakota Mines cut the difference to only three points twice in the final 2:33 before the Eagles held on for the win.  

Kylie Krise was the Eagles' leader, finishing with 23 points off the bench to match her career-high from a year ago against MSU Denver. She sank seven of her nine field goal attempts, including 5-of-6 three-pointers, and was 4-of-6 at the free throw line. In addition, Krise grabbed 10 rebounds, giving her a double-double for the first time in her two years at CSC. 

Both Camren Morris and Allison Richards tallied 12 points for Chadron State, Kyra Tanabe added 10 and Ashayla Powers eight. Behind Krise's 10 boards, four different Eagles finished with five rebounds apiece – Richards, Morris, Powers and McKenzi Petersen.

Most of the Hardrockers' scoring was provided by sophomore forward Morning Grace Spotted Bear with 24 points and senior guard Piper Bauer with 22. Spotted Bear was 6-of-14 from the field, one of them a 3-pointer, and was 11-of-15 at the free throw line. Bauer was 7-of-18 on her field goal shots, two of them treys, and was 6-of-7 from the charity stripe.  

Overall, the Eagles shot 43.1% (22-51) from the field while Mines hit just 31.1% (19-61). Krise provided the difference with her 5-of-6 from behind the arc, as the Eagles meshed eight three-pointers in 20 attempts while the Hardrockers were just 4 of 23.

Spotted Bear grabbed 12 rebounds for game-high honors, but the Eagles out-rebounded the Hardockers 46-37 overall. 

The Eagles will travel to Spearfish Saturday to face Black Hills State (5-3, 1-0 RMAC). The Yellow Jackets also beat the Hardrockers on Tuesday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

North Platte, Neb. – Freshman Zaily Mazarin scored a career best 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 71-62 loss to Air Force Prep on Wednesday night.

Mazarin now has four double-doubles in ten career games for the black and gold. Nariah Golden, Nevaeh Golden and EmmaJo Locks each recorded seven points for North Platte.

A 10-1 run midway through the first quarter gave the Huskies a 18-9 lead. Sa'Naii May connected from long range to break up the run, before five straight points pushed the margin to 11 at the end of the opening ten minutes.

North Platte used an 8-2 run to open the second quarter to cut the margin to five on a jumper by Kateria Gooden. The Huskies responded with a 14-4 run over the final eight minutes to build their largest lead of the game at the halftime break, 41-24.

Mazarin led the second half resurgence by scoring nine of North Platte's 11 points to open the third quarter. The Huskies lead never trickled under ten in the frame, as they held a 55-40 lead headed into the final quarter.

A 12-2 run to open the final ten minutes cut the margin to five on a three by Nariah Golden. Air Force Prep retaliated with their own run over the next 2:38 to stretch their lead back into double digits. The Huskies continued to hold the momentum down the stretch to close out the win.

Huskers pull away from Lions, 69-48

Hastings, Neb. – The Knights men’s basketball team eclipsed the century mark in a 101-61 win over Hastings College JV on Tuesday night.

“We were really unselfish on offense and aggressive on defensive tonight,” said head coach Jacob Brandl. “Our guys were completely locked in from start to finish and I thought our attention to detail was the best it has been.”

It was a tightly contested opening five minutes until a 21-3 run propelled the Knights out to a 29-13 lead. During the nearly six-minute stretch,&nbsp;Maurice Reide&nbsp;led the Knights with six points including a one-handed jam in transition.

Broncos cut the margin to 29-15 with 6:35 to play, but an 8-3 burst by the Knights extended their lead to 19. Hastings once again paused the rally with a corner three, before an 11-2 run gave the Knights a 48-23 halftime lead.

North Platte surged out of the break to construct a 63-31 lead on a pair of Reide free throws. A quick 7-0 Bronco burst narrowed the margin to 25 with 13:54 to play. The Knights never let the Broncos get any closer as they stretched their lead to 40 by the end of regulation.

North Platte (4-5) will return to Region IX action against the Lancers of Eastern Wyoming College on Friday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside the McDonald-Belton Gymnasium in North Platte.
