OMAHA, Neb. (Dec. 17, 2025) – Omaha Women's Basketball junior guard Cora Olsen will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season following a mid-foot injury that occurred on Nov. 20 against CSU Bakersfield, head coach Jamie Carey announced Wednesday.
The Omaha native and Millard South graduate is Omaha's returning leading scorer, having averaged just shy of 10 points a night as a sophomore. Olsen recorded a career-best 25 points earlier this season against Saint Mary (Nov. 6) and started each of Omaha's first six games prior to the injury.
"Our team feels for Cora, especially knowing how much she has put into this program and how important she is to what we do," Carey said. "As a veteran leader on our team and a local product, she sets the tone with her work ethic every day. We will support her every step of the way through rehab and I have no doubt she will come back better and stronger."
Omaha returns to action tonight, Dec. 17, vs. crosstown rival Creighton with tip-off set for 6:30 p.m. CT on the Summit League Network and 1180 KOZT in Omaha. Tickets are available at OMavs.com/Tickets or call 402-554-MAVS.
