J 1 Missouri wins soccer crown by Kim Ball Being the home team didn't prove an advantage as the UNL Soccer Club dropped both of its games in the fourth annual Big Eight Conference Soccer Tournament held Saturday and Sunday on the Vine Street field and Memorial Stadium. Every team in the Big Eight was represented except Oklahoma. UNL lost its first game, 2-0, to Oklahoma State, the eventual thrid-place finisher. Defending champion Colorado also shut out the UNL soccer club, defeating them, 3-0. Colorado then defeated Iowa State to claim fifth place. Eric Davies, the UNL soccer coach, thought his team played well despite the two losses. "We outplayed both of the teams that we played," Davies said, "but we just couldn't score. We just weren't organized properly." Davies, who has played organized soccer for 26 years including three years at London University, was one of the tournament directors. In the title game, Missouri defeated Kansas State, 2 0. KSU entered the championship dash with a 14-1 record, its only previous loss being to Missouri. Missouri, now 7-1, had upset Colorado in the first round and then defeated Oklahoma State to reach the final game. Missouri's only loss was to Florescent Junior College, a two-time National Junior College champion. The KSU soccer program, according to Davies is one of the best in the Big Eight. Davies said that the KSU team has a $3,000 budget and a paid coach. KSU soccer player Dean Zagortz said that soccer is offered at KSU as a physical education course. "It's an accredited course," Zagortz said, "you get one credit for playing soccer." "We have about 42 guys on the team," Zagortz added. "We sent our second team to a tournament in Wichita this weekend." The UNL Soccer Club, which has 25 members and little financial support, should have a good shot at the title next year, Davies said. "We're starting to get players from Omaha that have played for a few years," Davies said. "Those players and the experience we've gained the last couple of years should help us a lot."

Kurosaki leads Huskers to victory Nebraska's baseball team won the two of three games against Kansas State over the weekend on the Husker diamond, enabling them to move past the Wildcats into fourth place in the Big Eight Conference standings. Coach Tony Sharpe's squad now stands, 6-6 in conference play. Kansas State dropped to 12-9-1. Nebraska is 12-9-1 overall. Husker pitcher Ryan Kurosaki fired a two-hit shutout Friday afternoon to gain a 7-0 victory over the Wildcats. Kurosaki's strong pitching performance, which included 12 strikeouts, permitted Nebraska to split a doubleheader with the Wildcats Friday afternoon. Nebraska pitcher Dennis O'Doherty pitched a four-hitter in Friday's opening game, but Kansas State prevailed, winning 2-0. Nebraska won the three-game series Saturday by taking the final game 9-8, with Kurosaki batting and pitching the Huskers to victory. The junior from Hawaii came in as a relief pitcher in the seventh inning and in the bottom of the inning, he provided the winning run when he smacked a 400-feet homer. It was Kurosaki's second homerun of the season. In Friday's action, left-fielder Rich Sanger hit his third homerun of the season, a 385-foot shot over the center field fence. Sanger's hit came with a man on base to push Kurosaki to a 2-0 lead, enough scoring because of Kurosaki's shutout pitching. But the Huskers added five insurance runs during the game. Kurosaki helped add insurance runs with three hits, including two doubles and two RBI's in the fourth inning when UNL added four runs. The Huskers will end a seven-game home stand Tuesday afternoon with a doubleheader at 1:30 p.m. against non-conference foe Kearney State. Nebraska's next Biq Eiqht games are Friday and Saturday when the Huskers play the University of Oklahoma at Norman.
