Notes: No. 6 Nebraska scored two goals in the final 15 minutes to edge No. 14 Vanderbilt, 2-0, in Nashville, Tenn. Sophomore striker Isabelle Morneau's goal at 75:00 off assists from midfielders Jenny Benson and Kari Uppinhouse broke a scoreless tie and proved to be the game winner, as the Huskers improved to 4-0-0 on the season, extending their regular-season winning streak to 23 games. Nebraska coach John Walker said he was impressed with the way the Huskers battled the Commodores. "We came out and competed extremely hard throughout the game," Walker said. "I feel much better about the team and the way it is shaping up after this weekend's wins. We just competed very well against Colorado on Friday and against Vanderbilt today. It is very encouraging." Junior midfielder/striker Kim Engesser continued her excellent play for the Huskers, adding an insurance goal off an assist from Sharolta Nonen at 82:45. The goal was Engesser's fourth of the season to lead the Huskers.
