Callin Hake Season 2022-23

Outlook (2024-25)
Callin Hake (pronounced CAL-in HAKE)  will continue to be counted on to provide leadership and stability in Nebraska's backcourt in her third season as a Husker in 2024-25. 

The 5-8 junior from Victoria, Minn., played in all 35 games with five starts a year ago while helping Nebraska to the Big Ten Championship Game and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Hake hit 37.7 percent of her three-point attempts on her way to averaging 6.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

Hake could again challenge for a starting spot in the backcourt or provide a significant presence in a deep rotation of Big Red guards.

"Callin is a versatile guard that can bring a lot of things to our team on the basketball court," Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. "I love that she is committed to playing hard at both ends of the court. Not only is Callin the perfect fit for us on the court, but she fits our family. She is not afraid to work and understands how to be a great teammate."

She added 10 points on a pair of threes in an overtime setback at No. 4 Indiana (Jan. 1).

In Nebraska's second-round WNIT win over Northern Iowa (March 19), Hake stepped up with six points, three rebounds and two assists off the bench after starter Sam Haiby suffered a lower leg injury that knocked her out for the rest of the game.

Hake scored six points on a pair of threes in wins over Houston Christian (Nov. 11) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Nov. 25). She opened her career with three points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal in a win over Omaha (Nov. 7). She also knocked down a three-pointer at No. 20 Creighton (Nov. 15).
