Seeing the Huskers play in the NCAA tournament is inspiring for these girls.
“It’s weird because they were girls just like us practicing on a team like there were on Premier gold back in high school it has been cool to watch them,” said Yost.
“I just to be a really big player, and just be like them some day,” said Sophie Hendrix.
