By Scctt Ahlstrcnd
For once the Husker centers saw eye to eye with
their opponents, and the results were overpower
ing. The Nebraska women's basketball team, sparked
by the strong inside play of Angle Miller and Heidi
Keyes, raced their way to a 92-G7 victory against
Colorado Saturday at the Bob Devaney Sports Cen
ter. For one of the few games this year, Nebraska's
height matched up with an opponent's. .
Miller hit eight of her 1 1 field goal attempts, went
five for five from the free throw line and grabbed
nine rebounds to lead the Huskers. Keyea played
only ten minutes, but the 6-3 freshman went five for
six from the field and two for two from the tine.
"Heidi really played a good game," Coach Kelly Hill
said. "We were able to post up with her and she was
effective." .
The lead seesawed for the first 10 minutes of the
game, but with Colorado ahead 23-21 with 7:43 to
go, the Huskers made a 25-6 run and entered the
locker room with a 46-29 halftime advantage.
They're one of the teams in the conference that
we're able to match up well with," Hill said. "We
played a full-court press in the first half and it
worked. For the most part we were able to shut
them down."
The second half was a continuation of the first.
Nebraska dropped the press but added to their lead.
Hill substituted freely and every Husker entered the
scoring column.
"When you're ahead by a lot, you're not as tense
when you come into the game," Keyes said. Ton
weren't too worried if you missed a shot, because
you knew you'd get another chance. I think it made
everybody play a little looser."
In addition to Miller and Keyes, Nebraska also got
double-figure output from Debra Powell (14 points),
Kellie Benson (11), Cathy Owen (10) and Shelly
Block (10).
Colorado's leading scorer, Diane Hiemstra, enter
ed the game with an 18-point average, but the 5-11
senior was scoreless in the first half. Hiemstra man
aged to tally 10 points in the second half but only hit
three of her 1 1 attempts from the field.
"There's no question that we were keying on stop
ping Hiemstra," Hill said. "Cathy (Ov en) did a good
job on her in the first half. And sheVcorcd most of
her points in the second half late in the game."
The Huskers played In front of a season high home ,
crowd of 1 ,736 which Keyes said played a major role
in Nebraska's quick start.
"It was great coming out and hearing a lot of
people cheering for us Keyes said. "It really psych
ed the team up. We were ready to play."
The win moves Nebraska to 1 6-9 overall and 6-6 in
the conference. The Buffaloes fell to 9-16, and 2-9 in
the Big Eight. The Huskers maintain an outside
chance at finishing in the conference's top four and
hosting a conference post-season tournament
game. Nebraska's next opponent is Kansas State in
Lincoln Tuesday. Hill said Nebraska will have to play
well to stay with the nationally ranked Wildcats.
"Well need all the confidence we can get going into
Kansas State," Hill said. "Well have our hands full
They're one of the best teams in the country."

By Kevin Vomcke .
Led by the Scherr brothers, Jim and
Bill, and Gary Albright, the Nebraska
wrestling squad captured fourth place
in the Big Eight Conference tourna

place finishers, as it racked up 43 team
points, 50 points behind defending
champion Oklahoma State.
Iowa State finished second, eight
points ahead of third place Oklahoma
Missouri trailed the pack with 32 team
points.
According to assistant sports infor
mation director Rod Henkel, Nebraska
could not have overtaken Oklahoma
had Matt Campbell, Chris Marisette
and William Taylor captured third
place instead of fourth. "
At 177, Jim Scherr defeated Okla
homa's Dan Chaid, 8"-5, to capture first"
place, while his brother, Bill, at 190,
defeated Oklahoma State's Karl Lynes,
6-4. Nebraska heavyweight Gary Al
bright defeated Iowa State's Darryl
Peterson, 10-3, to give Nebraska a
clean sweep in the upper-weight divis
ions. Nebraska Coach Bob Fehrs said he
was elated about his three champions.
"Tremendous! I'm just as happy as
one can be about the fact that we had
three champions," he said. 'That was
our goal and that is our strength."
Fehrs also said he was proud of the
Scherrs, who competed in their last
conference tournament.
TheyVe done so much for the Neb
raska wrestling program. They've been
the bulk of our program," he said.
They're champions in wrestling and as
individuals. If every coach had a group
of Scherrs, coaches wouldn t retire.
