That is, if you want to call a high-speed collision i with a hayrack ride a unique experience. Although the occupants of the car were abruptly iolted from peaceful slumber, there were no serious Injuria in an impact that caused extensive damage to center fullback Jim Fullerton s car. It was one of the few times the soccer team has . been lucky this year. Against Kansas, they hammered away at the Jayhawk goal all afternoon but couldn t get the ball between the post more than once. They, lost the game as they did two others In a season that r ow finds them 6-3-1. One of the reasons for the six .wins has been the play of Wolfgang Hanssen.'a 18-year-old senior at Lincoln East High School. Because soccer is not financially sponsored by UNL, there are not eligibility requirements for team members. Thus, Hanssen, a high school athlete, may play. Hanssen came to the United States from Sodertalge, Sweden primarily "to see new things and meet new people." He says the differences between Nebraska and Sweden aren't difficult to spot. "Here there are more cars and they are bigger," he observed. "Also, the climate changes all the time and the people are much more conservative." Hanssen, who lists ball control and passing as his best soccer attributes, says what he like about the United States are the people, the food and the easy school. After graduation from East High, Hanssen plans to return to Sweden and pursue a career in journalism. "If I don't get accepted to the Swedish Journalism School, I'll probably travel around the world for a couple of years," he said. Hanssen, who scored two goals against York College, predicts the future success of the UNL soccer team is unlimited. , , "Under present coach, if every player puts I W'smSMtfrf hm we are going to be a big threat to the other teams in the Big 8," he said. They are already a pretty solid threat to passengers on hayrack rides. UNL spikers face Creighton "Getting up" for. every match could be the key to Husker success this weekend, according to Pat Sullivan, women's volleyball coach, as her team travels to Wayne State College for the state tournament. The double elimination tournament runs Friday through Sunday, with the second-seeded and defending champion Huskers beginning play against Creigh ton at 3 p.m. Friday. dennis onnen "After Creighton, nothing Is easy going," Sullivan said. Among the 16 teams entered are third-seeded Chadron State CnltefjA anfl fnurth-Refided Uni versity of Nebraska at Omaha, the only Nebraska school to have beaten UNL this fall. Husker losses to out-of-state schools In a 12-4 season were from Kansas and Southwest Missouri State, ranked eighth in the nation. One encouraging note for the Huskers i3 their close 12-15, 15-11, 15-10 victory last Friday over Kearney State College, the top seed in th tournament. Sullivan agrees Kearney Is the team to beat ands said her squad is the only one with the personnel to do just that. "I don't think there's another team ih the state except ourselves that can beat Kearney on offense," she said. "We're going to have to be at our very top on defense." Regions! tournty at UML The top two finishers in tha stats tournament will advance to the seven state regional tournament which UNL will host Nov. 21-23, Sullivan said she is daily nebroskan not looking that far ahead yet. "We're worried about getting to that tournament," she said. On offense, Sullivan said her players would not only be trying to hit the ball hard, but at specific holes in the opponent's defense. "You have to hit the ball where they ' aren't," she said. She declined to name individual Husker standouts, crediting her team's success to overall strength. Starters for UNL are senior Cheryl Nolte, Vicki Ossenkop and Denise Stange, junior Jan Zink, sophomore Janice Kruger and freshman Susie Heiser. Setter Mike quarterback' "Vicki's the setter, making her indispensable," Sullivan said. He liken ed the setter to a football quarterback in that the setter directs the offense by hitting the ball into position for the frnnt-lino players to Spike if over the net. Being the setter, Ossenkop has to be prepared to move all over the court to retrieve the ball. "Vicki's constantly In motion," Sul livan said. "She probably loses six i pounds every time she plays." Sullivan said about 75 women tried out for this year's squad, an Indication of the increased interest in the sport at the high school level in Nebraska. All 19 who survived the cut are from Nebraska high schools. Another factor that should induce even greater interest is the offering of women's athletic scholarhlps, a practice begun at UNL this year. Seven volleyball players have scholarships, but Sullivan said she hopes it never comes to the point where sbo will be forced to ' go to recruiting for quality players. "I hope people will come to the university to go to school first and play volleyball second." thursday, november7, 1974
