Just three months before the start of the season, the Nebraska women’s basketball team has added another player to its 2024-2025 roster. Head coach Amy Williams announced that the team has signed Croatian star Petra Bozan.
Bozan, a 6’3″ forward/center from Split, Croatia, joins the Huskers after playing for KAZL Split in Croatia’s Premier League. In 22 games, she averaged 15.6 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocked shots per game.
She finished the season with a .545 hitting percentage and 17 double-doubles. She scored 31 points, her season-high, against Zagreb in October 2023 and grabbed 19 rebounds, her season-high, against Brod Na Savi in November 2023.
Bozan also represented Croatia at the FIBA European Championships for the past three years. She comes to Nebraska after her recent appearance at the FIBA U18 Women’s European Championship in Portugal.
Bozan was Croatia’s top player in both points (113) and rebounds (70) through seven tournament games. She ranked sixth among all players in the 16-team tournament in scoring, averaging 16.1 points per game, and third in rebounding, averaging 10.0 per game.
Bozan is one of four freshmen on Nebraska’s roster and one of two centers, the other being senior Alexis Markowski. Bozan plans to study business at Nebraska.
