OU puts up fight against NU BY KRISTEN WATERS The Nebraska volleyball team bit some major speed bumps on the road to maintain ing its No. 1 status on Wednesday against a struggling Oklahoma team. The Huskers improved their record to 22-0 (14-0 in confer ence play) in a challenging 15-6, 15-8,15-12 win over the Soon^rs (6-15,1-12), who haven’t won a game since Sept 27. “I was a little disappointed on how we executed our funda mentals tonight,” Coach John Cook said. “We worked hard the last couple of days on funda mentals, and I would have liked to seen some better results.” A pumped OU squad started the match with a quick 2-0 lead over a somewhat stunned Husker team in the first game at the OU Fieldhouse in Norman, Okla. Oklahoma was soon shot down as Nebraska returned the favor with a five-point run. Oklahoma’s 5-foot-8 setter was no match for NU’s 6-foot-1 sophomore Laura Pilakowski. Pilakowski slammed down nine kills and one service ace in the first game. Sophomore Amber Holmquist added five kills and a block to help the Huskers bring in a first game victory, 15-6. NU trailed OU 3-0 in game two. The Huskers snapped out of their slump, gaining momen tum with a six-point run because of several OU hitting errors. Husker freshman Anna Schrad pounded down four kills and one block. Pilakowski and outside hit ter Angie Oxley both con tributed four kills each as the Huskers rode to a 15-8 second game win. Nebraska went on a 4-0 run in game three before Oklahoma fought back and gained momentum as the Huskers failed to produce an effective offense. This allowed the Sooners to take a 7-6 lead. Nebraska 15 15 15 Oklahoma 6 8 12 The Huskers struggled to take control of the game as they consistently made poor passes and numerous hitting and serv ice errors. NU and OU battled it out until finally sophomore setter Greichaly Cepero stepped up and scored three-straight points on setter dumps, allowing the Husker’s to squeak by Oklahoma 15-12. “Cepero did a lot of nice things tonight,” Cook said. “She made some good attacks and set Angie (Oxley) and the left side great." The Huskers will look to improve their record this Saturday as they take on Colorado in a rare match held at the Devaney Center. “We need to come out men tally ready Saturday night, and I’ll be looking for that prepara tion from seniors,” Cook said. Baylor next in line after Kansas win KAMSASfrompage12 just spun in. I turned my head to the right and saw it barely go in.” The Husker scoring was rounded out by freshmen Christy Harms and Lindsey Greenwood. The goal was Greenwood's fifth of die season-each from the past six games. “My confidence is up," Greenwood said. “Everything is just clicking.” Next up for the No. 1 seeded Huskers is Baylor, which beat Missouri 4-3 in overtime. The Bears boast goalkeeper Dawn Greathouse, who beat out NU goalie Karina LeBlanc for first team All-Big 12 honors. Latham said after seeing that, she was hoping for a chance to face Baylor, which NU beat 3-0 Sept 22. "I want to put up some goals on her for Karina,” Latham said.

Went stars in NU scrimmage BY DAVID DIEHL Amanda Went may make fans forget that Nebraska women’s basketball lost its two leading scorers from last season’s team. Went dropped a triple-double on the opposition as her Red team cruised past the White team 87-71 in the first ever Red-White intrasquad scrimmage. “I felt good," said Went, who had 14 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. “We needed to get out here on the floor in front of some people and give players a chance to see what they can da" The senior guard from Columbus was effective from 3 point range as she hit three of four. But she said die 12 assists pleased her most “Getting die ball around, mak ing my teammates better is what I was really big on tonight," she said. Went was just one of six play ers on the seven-member Red team to score in double figures. Red White 87 71 Monique Whitfield scored 15 points and had seven rebounds while two others scored 14. The split-squad game started close, but after the 8:45 mark of the first half the Red team, behind its balanced scoring attack, never let die White team get closer than 12 points the rest of the game. Not only Went impressed the sparse crowd at die Bob Devaney Sports Center in the 16-point drubbing. With three of five shoot ing from 3-point range, true fresh man K.C. Cowgill led all scorers with 22 points for the White. Went said Cowgill, a 1999 all state selection from Grand Island Central Catholic, will continue to impress. “That's not a fluke,” Went said. “Day in and day out, she comes in, and she shoots the balL” Said Coach Paul Sanderford: “If she continues to shoot the ball, “We needed to get out here on the floor in front of some people and give players a chance to see what they can do" Amanda Went _NU guard play hard and guard anybody, die’s going to find a way to play.” Aside from the offensive explo sion, eig^it players put in 12 ormore points, Sanderford said he was glad to get the younger players on the floor and see them competa Newcomers Shannon Howell, Alexa Johnson, Katie Morse, Margaret Richards and Cowgill got good experience, Sanderford said. “We play these games to get the jitters out and give those young kids a chance to play,” Sanderford said.
