Borgialli: big crowd needed at Colorado-UNL dual
Orval Borgialli UNL's wrestling coach
who has guided his team tc four straight
dual wins, said he hopes to see a big crowd
at tonight's 7:30 dual with Colorado Uni
versity in the UNL Sports Complex.
"These guys are fun athletes to work
with and they all come to fight " Borgialli
said. "The thing that disturbs me is, how
do you get a crowd? Win, lose, or draw, it
doesn't seem to matter. Our wrestlers per
form much better in front of crowds."
The Huskers, 4r2 in dual competition,
will need all the help they can get against
Colorado, Borgialli said.
"Colorado is tough and we will have to
wrestle with a lot of emotion," Borg'iiii
said. "I'm hoping, to see a big crowd to
help us out."
UNL had two dual wins last week. UNL
defeated Fort Hays State College (Kansas)
Wednesday and upended Wyoming Uni
versity Thursday in Laramie.
"We felt going against Wyoming that
whoever wanted to win the most would
come out on top," Borgialli said. "We've
had to face some tough competition and
we haven't folded yet. We've had to take
our licks but at this point we're just
gauging ourselves."
The Colorado dual, held in the main
arena of the Sports Complex, will mark
the first of three home matches in a row
for UNL. The wrestlers will host Oklahoma
State University Jan. 23 and a quadrangu
lar meet Jan. 28 against the Universities of
Minnesota, Missouri and Notre Dame.
Tonight's dual will feature walk-on
freshman Al Patton, an 118-pounder from
Omaha Tech, wrestling Colorado's All
American, Chuck Davis. Patton defeated
Davis two weeks ago in the Colorado In
vitational. "I don't feel his (Patton) win was a
fluke," Borgialli said. "Al has been wrest
ling good and it will be an interesting
match."
Although Patton may be the top new
comer, Borgialli said that most of the
Husker line-up is composed of newcomers.
The Huskers will have six freshman in the
line-up including Mark Niblo, a freshman
from Winterset, Iowa who is wrestling
"well" in the 126 pound class, Borgialli
said. Borgialli also cited sophomore Agran
Vasha and co-captains George Mink and
Court Vining.
Injuries hurting gymnastics
By Rob Bamey
Mention injuries to Judy Schalk, UNL
women's gymnastics coach, and she is
liable to punch you in the mouth.
On paper, the women gymnasts are a
capable team, but when half of that paper
includes an injury list, even the best of
teams are in trouble.
Trouble is exactly what the women's
gymnastics team found itself in Saturday",
Jan. 14, at the Coliseum,
Iowa State University came into town
with a full team and crushed UNL in a dual
meet 124.35 to 100.75,
UNL went into the meet without junior
Carrie Buckley, freshman Katie Vogel and
sophomore Tammy Driscoll,
"Carrie suffered a severe shoulder injury
early in the year and it is doubtful whether
Anyone interested in officiating intra

said there will be a meeting at 7;30 p.m.
for anyone interested in officiating intra

Reserved season tickets for UNL indoor

UNL's first indoor meet will be January 28
against Kansas University,
Ihe UNL women' basketball team fin
ished sixth, winning one of two games at
the Jennings Classic held at Warrensburg,
Missouri last weekend,
The team lost its first game to Temple
Junior College, 80-69, but bounced back
with a 71-63 win over the University of
Iowa. Memphis State University, which
finished fifth, eliminated the Huskers from
the tournament with an 82-55 win, Deb
lec led UNL with 15 points against
Memphis State while Jan Crouch had 10
points.
Nebraska plays in Kansas City's Kemper
Arena Wednesday night to face Northwest
Missouri State University,
she will be able to compete ever again,"
Schalk said.
"Tammy has not come back to school
.yet, while Katie was set down this meet for
missing practice," she continued.
If that was not enough to hamper the
team, Junior Peggy Liddick only competed
in the uneven bars because of an injury she
suffered earlier in the week.
Liddick's 'injury left four healthy gym
nasts. Just enough, as the top four scores
in each event are counted towards the final
score,,
Nevertheless, it was not enough when
Fatty Carmichael, sophomore, sprained an
ankle during warm-up and was unable to
compete,
"Patty sprained her ankle pretty
severely and . I don't know when she'll be
able to come back," Schalk said.
"I brought the girls back a week early
for this meet purposely " Schalk said. I
scheduled this meet, if for no other reason,
than tp get the girls in shape for the rest of
the season,
i had not counted on Peggy's injury.
She didn't work out all week. Then Patty
sprained her ankle in warm-ups," Schalk
said.
Despite the lopsided loss, Schalk said
the meet served its purpose.
"We needed the meet to get the feeling
of competition back," she said. "You
know, we're strong depth-wise and a very
good team when we're all healthy."
What the team lacked in quantity, it
made up for in quality. Sophomore Crissy
Robertson finished third in the all-around
with a total score of 32.00 in the vault,
uneven bars, balance beam and floor
exercise.
Freshman Jeanne Concannon captured
the all-around title with a total of 33,15.
Iowa State's Laurie Keck was second,
totaling 32.05
The Huskers have less than a week to
get everybody healthy as they travel to
Des Moines Friday to face Drake and then
to Lawrence Saturday to duel Kansas.
'Drake has one of the ton all-arounders
in the region in Patti Fogelman," Schalk
said. "Normally we wouldn't have any
problems with these meets but If we don t
have a full team well just have to wait and
see,
