Women's Basketball, 2020

Maurtice Ivy set a slew of individual firsts for the Nebraska women's basketball team while leading the Huskers to their first conference championship and first NCAA Tournament appearance. Ivy was the first Husker to be the Big Eight Player of the Year when she took home the league's top honor in 1988, and she was a three-time first-team All-Big Eight selection, the program's first three-time all-conference honoree. As the 1988 Big Eight Player of the Year, Ivy led Nebraska to the Big Eight regular-season title and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance. Ivy averaged 19.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game that season, one year after she became the first Husker to average 20 points per game when putting up 23.6 points per game in 1986-87. She averaged 19.7 points per game as a sophomore and 14.0 points per game as a freshman. Ivy had eight career 30-point games, including a 46-point effort against Illinois in 1986. The first 2,000-point scorer in program history, Ivy concluded her career as Nebraska's all-time leader in points (2,131) and points per game (19.2). Ivy was also a two-time Big Eight All-Tournament team selection, and her No. 30 jersey is retired. Ivy earned her degree in speech communication from the University of Nebraska in 1992.
