LINCOLN, Neb. – The Samford women's basketball team dropped a 71-46 contest on Saturday night to the Nebraska Huskers.

The result pushes the Bulldogs to 4-8 on the campaign, while Nebraska moves to 8-3.

Carley Heidger scored nine points in 17 minutes of play coming off of the bench.

The duo of Kathleen Wheeler and Macey Lee each pulled down six rebounds to tie for the team lead on boards.

Cournoyer scored five of her 10 points in the first quarter that was dominated by defense that led to Samford leading 9-7 after the opening 10 minutes of play.

Macey Lee hit her one three of the game in the second frame of play as the defensive chest match continued. The Bulldogs took a 16-15 advantage into the locker room at the half.

The game changed in the second half when Nebraska came out of halftime and outscored Samford 29-17 in the third quarter. Heidger and Emily Bowman combined for 10 of the 17 Bulldog points in the period.
