Outlook (2024-25)
Alberte Rimdal (pronounced al-BER-tay RIM-dahl) joined the Nebraska women's basketball program on April 13, 2024, after spending her first three collegiate seasons at Florida. A member of the Danish National Team, the 5-9 guard will enter her senior season hoping to bolster a Nebraska backcourt that lost graduate students Jaz Shelley, Maddie Krull and Darian White after the trio helped the Huskers to the second round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
A native of Koge, Denmark (pronounced Koo), Rimdal brings a reputation as a knockdown shooter with her from Florida, where she started 50 games over the past two seasons for the Gators. In three years at Florida, Rimdal scored in double figures 27 times in 96 career games, averaging 6.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in her three seasons. A consistent three-point threat, Rimdal hit 33.7 percent (114-338) of her threes and 89.3 percent (67-75) of her free throws at Florida.
"We are thrilled to add Alberte to our Husker family," Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams said. "She is a great fit both on and off the basketball court. She is an experienced, high IQ, skilled athlete who makes great decisions. She can impact a game in several ways, and her versatility will be extremely valuable for our team."
Junior (2023-24, Florida)
Rimdal made 17 starts while playing in 30 of Florida's 32 games as a junior in 2023-24. She averaged 7.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists while hitting 37-of-116 three-pointers (.319). She scored a season-high 20 points at Gardner-Webb (Dec. 17), as one of 10 double-figure scoring efforts on the season. Rimdal added 13 points against Florida State (Nov. 17), Michigan (Dec. 20) and at Mississippi State (Feb. 11), while pitching in 12 points against Mississippi State (Jan. 22) and Missouri (March 6), and 11 at Tennessee (Jan. 11). She contributed 10-point games at Georgia Tech (Nov. 29) and at Alabama (Feb. 29).
Sophomore (2022-23, Florida)
As a sophomore in 2022-23, Rimdal started 33 of 34 games for the Gators while averaging career bests of 8.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists. She knocked down 38.2 percent (50-131) of her three-point attempts while connecting on 89.4 percent (42-47) of her free throws in 28.1 minutes per game for a Florida team that finished 19-15 and advanced to the Postseason WNIT quarterfinals. She produced 12 games in double figures as a sophomore, including a career-high 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field to go with a career-high five assists against Tennessee (Dec. 29, 2022). Rimdal added 19 points and a season-best four three-pointers against Furman (Nov. 21, 2022), while adding four more threes to finish with 12 points against Georgia (Jan. 8, 2023).
Rimdal also earned a spot on the Denmark National Team for the 2023 Mitsui Fudosan Cup, a three-game series between Denmark and Japan at Takasaki Arena (June 16-18).
Freshman (2021-22, Florida)
In her first season at Florida in 2021-22, Rimdal averaged 4.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 32 games off the bench. She went a perfect 16-for-16 at the free throw line and connected on 27-of-91 three-pointers (.297) to earn a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team.
She was named the USBWA National Freshman of the Week (Jan. 25, 2022) after back-to-back scintillating shooting efforts at Alabama (Jan. 16) and Kentucky (Jan. 20). Rimdal went 6-for-6 from the field, including 5-for-5 from three-point range on her way to 17 points in 23 minutes at Alabama. She matched her career high with five more threes on 5-of-6 shooting to finish with 15 points at Kentucky, before adding six points against LSU (Jan. 23), including a make on her only three-point attempt. For the week (Jan. 16-23), Rimdal went 11-for-12 from three-point range.
Rimdal finished with five games in double figures as a freshman.
