VNL softhall team
seeks consistency
in Creighton tourney
Despite a disappointing seventh-place finish at the
University of Texas-Arlington Invitational last weekend,
Nebraska Softball Coach Nancy Plantz remains
optimistic that her team will rebound successfully
at the upcoming Creighton Invitational.
"We didn't play well," said Plantz about her teams
2-3 performance at UT-Arlington. "But I think our
team morale is fine now. The team is determined to
play much better."
Although the Creighton Invitational is not a major
one, Plantz said she wants Nebraska to bring home the
championship. Creighton, UNO, Northwest Missouri
State and the Huskers are the four teams that will
compete in the round-robin tournament to be played
Friday and Saturday in Omaha.
Plantz said for the Huskers to repeat as Creighton
Invitational Champions (who tied with Creighton last
fall), the team must produce good hitting and effective
pitching to keep opposing batters off balance.
The major area of concern for Plantz as she prepares
her team for the Creighton Invitational is defensive
consistency. The Huskers committed six errors against
Oklahoma during a 6-0 Comhuskers loss at the Texas
Arlington Invitational.
" "I expect us to be better, but it's still early," Plantz
said of the team's 4-3 record. "It doesn't concern me
yet (this inconsistency), but if we keep it up it will.
We have not even come close to reaching our potential
yet. I look for us to get better though."
UNL is scheduled to play UNO Saturday at 10:30
ajn. in the tournament and will face Creighton at
3:30 pjn. that day.
