OMAHA, Neb. - The UNO women's basketball team dropped its first home game against a Division I opponent this year, as Cornell shot past the Mavericks, 63-51, before 331 fans at the Sapp Fieldhouse on Saturday.
The Big Red hit 12 three-pointers, the most by a UNO opponent this year, and the Mavs struggled to keep up from behind the arc, hitting just 3-of-17 from long distance.
Taylor Flynn scored 21 points off the bench - 18 in the first half - and hit 5-of-8 from long range to lead the Big Red (5-7). Jamie Nash led the Mavericks (9-7) with 13 points, and Stacia Gebers had 12.
Despite trailing by as many as 14 in the first half, UNO rallied to cut the lead down to five with 14:26 left in the game, 40-35, after a 7-0 run. But Cornell cut the Mavs' momentum short, as Allyson DiMagno and Flynn hit back-to-back treys for a 46-35 lead.
After Amanda Woodring answered with her second 3-pointer of the half to make it 46-38, Stephanie Long hit a 3 on Cornell's next possession, sparking a 9-0 run that gave the Big Red a 55-38 lead with 8:28 to play and effectively put the game away.
Cornell led 34-26 at the break after scorching the nets for seven 3-pointers in the first half on 19 attempts. Flynn came off the bench and hit 4-of-6 from long range to spark the Big Red with 18 points in the first half alone. On the other end of the floor, UNO struggled to connect, hitting just 1-of-8 from 3-point land in the opening stanza.
The Mavs had jumped out to an 11-4 lead, but Flynn entered the game and immediately hit a 3. Then after an Allyson DiMagno basket, Flynn hit a jumper and another 3 to tie the game at 14-14. Flynn's layup at the 8:21 mark capped a 13-0 Big Red run and gave Cornell a 24-14 lead.
Cornell led by as many as 14 when it was 34-20 with 4:44 remaining, but UNO closed the half on a 6-0 run with two baskets by Heather Pohl and one by Taijhe Kelly.
The Big Red shot 43.9 percent from the field (25-of-57), while UNO hit 35.0 percent (21-of-60). The Mavs outscored Cornell in the paint, 28-14. UNO entered the game with a 9-0 record when outscoring their opponents in the paint, but Cornell's hot shooting from deep offset the Mavs' advantage.
Paige Frauendorfer, UNO's leading scorer, was held scoreless for the first time this season, but she contributed 10 rebounds and five steals. Pohl finished with nine points.
The Mavericks return to the Sapp Fieldhouse Monday night to host Dallas Christian at 7 p.m.
