The 5-foot-9 grad student scored 10 of her season-high 23 points in the final five minutes to help the Huskers erase a 14-point fourth quarter deficit and beat No. 2 Iowa, tying the highest ranked team that Nebraska has ever beaten. She made all four of her free throws in the final 19 seconds to seal the victory. She also had five assists in the win. Shelley also had 10 points, six rebounds and four assists in a win over Michigan.
