Criswell started 24 games a year ago and averaged 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds while hitting 34.9 percent (22-63) of her three-point attempts. She played a major role in North Alabama staying within striking distance at halftime at Kansas, scoring a team-high 17 points, including a trio of three-pointers.

• Graduate guard Sara Wohlgemuth, sophomore Veronaye Charlton and freshman forward Sofia Ceppellotti also have contributed early in the season.

• North Alabama opened with a 66-63 win at UT Martin, before suffering a 73-64 defeat at Tennessee Tech.

• Nebraska’s 20 three-pointers in the win over South Dakota Saturday shattered the previous school record of 17, which came in the 2010-11 season opener against Vermont at the Devaney Center on Nov. 13, 2010.

• The 30 combined three-pointers by Nebraska (20) and South Dakota (10) were the most in a game in school history, eclipsing the 27 hit by Nebraska (14) and Iowa (13) in the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game in Minneapolis (March 10) and 27 hit by the Huskers (13) and Illinois (14) on March 1, 2017.
