St. Louis

Anxious for the season to start Friday night against St. Louis. But what a sad story about their alumni player who was shot prior to their scrimmage game. Coach Cook talked about the incident on his radio show earlier this week. It has too be very difficult for the girls of St. Louis to travel to Nebraska after this devastating incident. I hope the Coliseum gives the St. Louis girls a standing ovation Friday night as they come out on the court.
