Prince Named Big Ten Freshman of the Week
Lincoln - Nebraska's Britt Prince captured the first Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week award of her career, sharing the honor with Ohio State's Jaloni Cambridge when the conference announced its weekly recognition on Monday, Jan. 20.
Prince, a 5-11 point guard from Omaha, Neb., led the Huskers with a game-high 22 points on a career-high five three-pointers in an 87-84 overtime win at Iowa on Thursday night. The Elkhorn North High School grad added a career-high six steals to go along with seven rebounds and five assists in a tremendous all-around effort to help the Big Red to its first road win in Iowa City since 2018.
Prince's step-back three-pointer with 50 seconds left in regulation tied the game at 75, before her two free throws with 2.8 seconds left in front of 15,000 hostile Hawkeye fans sent the game to overtime.
Prince has been a catalyst in Nebraska's four-game Big Ten winning streak heading into tonight's home game with Wisconsin at Pinnacle Bank Arena. During the streak, Prince is averaging 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.0 steals to increase her season averages to 13.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and team bests 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals.
