GAME INFORMATION - VS NEBRASKA
Washington State hosts the Huskers Friday night in the ninth matchup all-time between the two teams. The Cougars have controlled the series as of late winning the last two games and three of the last five including a 73-61 win in Lincoln last year of the NCAA bound Huskers. In the win, Alexys Swedlund and Borislava Hristova dropped game-highs with 16 points each. However, the series has not been kind to the Cougars in Pullman with Nebraska taking all three matchups, the last, and 82-61 win, in 2014.

LAST TIME OUT
A late fourth quarter rally came up just short Sunday afternoon in Beasley as Washington State women's basketball (0-2) dropped a 70-64 decision to Saint Mary's (2-0). Down by as much as 13 with just over six minutes to play, the Cougars would battle their way back into the game behind a 15-4 run that gave WSU a shot at the lead. However, the comeback was not to be as senior Alexys Swedlund's go-ahead three from the corner rimmed out with :31 seconds to play while a game-tying floater by junior Chanelle Molina with :13 seconds remaining fell to the same fate.

ALEXYS THREE-DLUND - THE ALL-TIME 3-PT QUEEN
Already the single-season three-point queen with 75 as a sophomore, senior Alexys Swedlund became the programs career record holder on Sunday, Nov. 11, when the sharp-shooter hit her 162nd career three-pointer. The record three was her fifth of the game and pushed the senior passed Katie (Appleton) Bohnoff (2005-09) in the Cougar annuals.
