Kearney, Neb. – Redshirt senior point guard Jillian Aschoff recorded the second triple double in school history as Nebraska Kearney blasted Chadron State, 90-46, Tuesday night at the Health & Sports Center.
The Lopers (6-6) now have a healthy 63-13 series lead over the Eagles (0-8).
Aschoff (Lincoln Pius X) began the year on pace to break UNK's career assist record (390, Alex Hogberg, '17) in early 2026. That timeline has moved a bit after a 15-point, 13-assist, 12-rebound effort tonight. Aschoff moves past Tami Tully (373; '95) into second place (383) and will need just eight more dimes on Sunday afternoon vs. South Dakota Mines.
Last year, senior wing Samantha Moore had UNK's first-ever triple double (16 points/10 rebounds/10 assists) in a home win over York. Tonight, Aschoff had a double double (11 points/10 rebounds/seven assists) at the break. Finally, Darcy Stracke holds the single game assist record with 14 in a Feb. 1998 win over Fort Hays State.
The two teams combined for just nine points over the first five minutes, but eventually the Lopers warmed up. They tallied at least 19 points in each quarter and ended up shooting 61% (36 of 59) from the field, the 10th best effort in school history. UNK also tallied 40 points off 29 Eagle miscues and was 10 of 12 at the line.
Diller freshman guard Myleigh Weers (22), Polish senior wing Malgorzata Byczkowska (11) and Kansas senior reserve point guard Saniya Simmons (10) all joined Aschoff as Lopers in double figures. Weers and Byczkowska each hit three triples with Simmons having seven of UNK's 19 steals. Finally, Blair true freshman Addie Sullivan tallied her first collegiate bucket as all 11 healthy Lopers played and scored.
A young Eagles team was led by junior guard Audrey Quintana who went 3 of 7 from behind the arc to score 16.
The Lopers and SDMT Hardrockers (4-6) battle Sunday at 1 p.m. to finish the fall semester.
