Soccer coach anticipates winning spring season
lly Kevin Warnckc
After coming off its best season ever, Coach Paul
Hornby said li is UNL Soccer Club is going to have an ex
cellent spring season.
The team finished its fall season with a 12-2-1 record.
Other laurels added to the team's record were a first-place
finish in the Concordia Invitational at Seward and a
second-place finish at the lid Chartran Tournament at
Kansas State.
The squad will begin its season April 10 and 11 by
competing in a tournament at Kansas. According to
Hornby, competition will include Kansas, Kansas State,
Benedictine and Roekhurst colleges and also numerous
soccer clubs from the Kansas City area.
"Two years ago we took third place. I think we'll do
well," Hornby said.
Because ol inclement weather, the team has been
forced to have indoor practices.
Women's tennis team
to volley with Kearney
UNL's women's tennis coach, Kathy Hawkins, is
approaching Thursday evening's match against Kearney
State with both optimism and caution.
"I really don't think we will have a lot of trouble,"
Hawkins said about the match scheduled for 6 p.m. at the
Bob Devancy Sports Center, "but I hate to under estimate
them."
Hawkins said she is pleased with the team's perfor
mance thus far, especially the victory against Wisconsin.
"We played aggressively and played to win," Hawkins
said. "We just didn't wait for them to lose." The coach
also was happy because the team played at the same level
as it has been practicing.
Cindi Kciman still holds the position of top singles
player, although "a couple of people arc challenging her,"
Hawkins said. She said the team has good depth. Against
Kearney State, team members contributing to this depth
may sec some action.
Lynn Svoboda and Kathy Fischer, both sophomores
from Lincoln, should get a chance to compete, Hawkins
said. Kerry Distefano, a junior, also may be tabbed for
some court time.
"Right now wc are looking good," Hawkins said. With
the victory against Wisconsin, which Hawkins described as
a "big one," the Huskers should be ready for Kearney
State.
"We will go in and get up for it and play hard," the
coach said.
Intramurals
The men's intramural water basketball tournament was
won by Beta Theta Pi "A" as they defeated Alpha Tau
Omega 7244 in the championship game of the double

26-6, behind Nancy Hoglund's 14 points to capture first
place in the women's tournament.
The Sixers, led by the scoring of guards Jay Rodenburg
and Bill Weddle with 19 and 16 points, respectively, de
feated Beta Theta Pi "A" No. 1 61-52 to win the men's
intramural all-university basketball championship.
The game was close in the early going, then the Sixers
got their fast break working late in the first half to take a
35-27 halftime lead. The Betas never were able to get
closer than six points in the second half.
Members of the championship team are: Rodenburg,
Weddle, Jim Alexander, Steve Mayer, Brett Bunney, Bret
Wallin, Kevin Brown, Mike Hupp and Mark Hamnett.

"Wc can do quite a few things inside like dribbling and
shooting drills, tlic basic fundamentals," he said. "Wc also
can have five on five scrimmages, but wc can't do full
length scrimmages."
Hornby said he hopes the team will be able to get a
week of outdoor practice after spring break to tunc up for
its first meet. He said the team shouldn't feci any ill
effects of not being able to get in a lot of outdoor practic
ing. A highlight for the squad's spring season, according to
Hornby, will be the Wichita Invitational Tournament
which will be May 1 and 2.
Hornby also is confident of the team's chances in the
Big Eight meet.

"In Arizona there aren't any indoor courts. So when I
started playing indoors here, it took me a while to adjust
my game," Schmidt said. "I also think I'm concentrating a
lot better this semester."
Nebraska was not the only university that offered
Schmidt a scholarship, as he also received offers from
Arizona, Tulanc and California. Schmidt said he selected
UNL because he liked the school, the campus and the
coach. He also said his father grew up in the Midwest and
wanted him to attend UNL
Unlike most athletes, Schmidt said that being on a
collegiate team improves his academics.
"I think that when I'm playing tennis it helps me regul
ate my time better," Schmidt said. "When I don't have
practice I just sit around. Practice limits the amount of
free time I have so I have to study every hour that I have
available."
"I think we'll do well. We've beaten Iowa State and
should have beaten Kansas State," he said. "We've never
placed better than fifth place, but I think wc should be
able to place in the top three. Returning champion Color
ado and Missouri will be tough," he said.
The fact that the team has good goal scorers, good mid
fielders and that it only lost one person to graduation are
strong points of the squad, I lornby said.
"To have a good team, you need good mid-fielders.
You have to have people that can run all day since they
must play offense and defense," Hornby said. "They're
the workhorses."
The team's only weakness is a few people who need
some experience, Hornby said.
Schmidt said he is basically a baseline player, but that
he will come to the net on a short ball.
"I really like doubles because I get a better chance to
get to the net and that improves my volleying," Schmidt
said. "It seems like I'm more relaxed at the net when I'm
playing doubles. I hope that will carry over to my singles
game."
The UNL team has made some giant strides in progress,
but according to Schmidt, the best is yet to come.
"We have all the potential wc need to be a top team.
All we have to do is develop that potential," he said.
"How we do will depend on how hard wc work this
summer.
"Right now there are only two teams in the Big Eight
that we think are better than us and that's Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State," he said. "We're a young team and we've
got high goals. I think in a year or two we should be able
to win the Big Eight."
