Jay hawks live up to reputation in season opener
By Ward VV. Triplett III
Although they started two freshmen, got bench
strength from another and two sophomores and played
without a three-year starter, the Kansas Jayhawks lived up
to their reputation Friday night by downing Nebraska
women's basketball team 88-56 in the season opener for
both teams.
The Jayhawks, who were ranked as high as number five
in pre-season polls, outplayed the lluskers from the start,
showing strength in all phases of the game before a sparse
crowd at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
"We made a lot of 'first game jitters' types of mis
takes," Nebraska Coach Colleen Matsuhara said. "We need
to show a little bit more patience. We weren't good on the
weak side rebounding or boxing out, as they got a lot of
second and third efforts they shouldn't have."
Nebraska's Kathy Hagerstrom, who finished with 15
points and nine rebounds, led a short-lived Nebraska
comeback at the beginning of the second half, but Kansas
continously came up with steals and rebounds to pad its
lead.
"I think Nebraska is a very good team," Kansas Coach
Marian Washington said. "When we were able to use our
quickness to force more turnovers, we were able to con
trol the game."

23 points and pulled down 25 rebounds between them.
Mary Myers, another freshman, who was also a Parade
All-American with Claxton, scored seven points.
"They did a fine job," Washington said. "This was the
first game for a lot of our players and they all did very
well."
Citing what she called great depth, Claxton's play
lessened the effect of three-year starter Shebra Ladrant's
momentary loss because of a bruised knee.
"The more she was into the game, the better she got,"
Washington said of Claxton.
One of the few Nebraska highlights, Matsuhara said,
was the play of some first year players of her own, namely
Susie Wickham, who had nine points, and starter Kclli
Benson, who had 12. all in the second half.
"1 also thought Donna Unwin did an excellent job for
us defensively." Matsuhara said. Unwin had the task of
covering Woodard, who is also the leading candidate for
this year's Wade trophy, given to the best player in the
nation.
