She is still quite a baby and really just now old enough to leave her mother. She is freaking out because in the natural pack animals this age aren't really ever left alone and only we expect them to endure it.
If your husband is there in the house and she knows it, she is calling for him to come help her and to gather her in. She's not old enough to understand why she must be alone in a cage. You will have to make some adjustments to try to soothe her such as placing a small radio or TV next to her cage, possibly covering 3 sides of it with a sheet or light blanket so she feels she's in a little den and will learn to rest during the day and wait until you come home. A lot of people leave kong toys full of their breakfast kibble or food so she has to work to get her meal and get a little mental stimulation and activity.
You can also do a little Separation Anxiety training as she is old enough to understand how to learn to accept your leaving her for short periods of time. But as a baby, she just wants her pack near her. It's only natural. I can give you some separation anxiety training tips if you would like. It is long but it works - even with younger puppies over time if you do it right and don't expect too much.
