Tough teams scheduled
at volleyball invitational
Ey JelTEroTrcis cr.J Jir.st C
Nebraska's volleyball team won one of the coun
try's top tournaments list weekend and defeated
highly-regarded San Diego State. But coach Terry
Pettit said he tent ready to call his team one of the
best in the nation yet
"From what IVe seen so far, there are about 16 to
18 teams that are capable of beating each other
Pettit said.
One of those teams is the California Bears, the
Buskers' next test Thursday night, and Friday and
Saturday in the Husker Invitational. California and
Nebraska have not played since 1976, when the
Bears won 15-7, 4-15. This week's games will be at
the UNL Coliseum.
The Bears, 3-6, were Northern Conference cham
pions last year and return Ail-American blocker
Syivie Monet
"They're very big and very experienced," Pettit
said, "and the NorPac may be the toughest confer
ence in the nation."
The Bears have been rated 12th in the last two
Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association polls, but
California assistant coach Jeff Mozzochi doesnt
expect hts team to stay there.
"We got off to a slow start," Mozzochi said. "We've
got a lot of new faces."
Mozzochi said the strength of his team lies in its
blocking and serving, a point that worries Pettit
Pettit also said his team needs to work on decreas-
ing errors.
"We would like to be more effective with our mid
dle attack," Pettit noted.
According to the Husker coach, middle blockers
Sharon Kramer, Michelle Smith, and Karen Dahlgren
need to be more aggressive in transitions and input
a variety of shots. ,
Pettit said this weekend's Husker Invitational,
which includes Texas A&M, Louisville, Southwest
Missouri and California, will be just as tough or
tougher than the San Diego tournament, but he's
confident his team can win. . ,
"We proved a point in San Diego," Pettit said. "San'
Diego State had more blocks and digs, but we domi
nated the game through aggressive serving.
, "We dont have a team where you can stop one or
two players and stop the whole team. WYre well
balanced." , .IV.Hv,
Enid Schonewise and Lynae Loseke will again ;
miss this weekend's acton as will Teresa Bonn. All
have been kept out of the lineup because of injuries.
The Huskers will face California Thursday night at
7 p.m. They then play Louisville and Southwest Mis
souri in back-to-back matches Friday beginning at 4
p.m. They will face Texas A&M before the UNL
UCLA football game Saturday morning and will
meet California again after the football game.
Boxers set-out to 'malce things happen'
The strategy used by UNL Boxing team coach
Handy Nelson is the same he used last year, and the
year before: "Make things happen." ' ' ? ' !
The boxing team began practicing Monday night.
Nelson said the club should have many strong
returning fighters, but said he needs new recruits in
the 130-pound and under weight classes.
Super-heavyweight Carl Von Rien is one of the
strongest fighters to return, he said.
Von Rien won last year's Southeast Division Golden
Gloves Championship uncontested. At that time
Nelson could not find anyone to fight Von Rien.
Von Rien won his first two fights at the Midwest
Golden Gloves Tournament last year by knockouts,
but lost in the finals by decision.
Other veteran fighters include John ICrollkowsla,
a second season heavy-weight; Curt White, 1 20
pound divides. Dan Lonowski 132-pcund dhicbn;
Marc Griiajabgtr; light heavy-weight diviiiar and
tentatively, Felix Konat, 165-pound division. Kcr.it
won last year's Southeast District Championship, '
and won two fights in the Midwest Tournreeitnt
before losing. -'. t' - ..." '
Nelson said he hopes new recruits wO join the
team. Practices are at 5 p!m. in the baremcr.t cf
Schramm Hall Monday through Thursday. He said '
no experience is necessary.
Although the boxing team was not on a summer
training program Nelson said, he encouraged them
. to run and drcuit:weight train. '' ,
Training secdens include running, hitting heavy
ing bags and sparring; -; . -

Kansas at UCC: The Trojans of
USC are ranked No. 10, but Kan
sas is coming off their first
win of Jhe season, a 57-6 drub
bing of Wichita State, and the
Jayhawks like the taste of victory.
An added incentive for Kansas is
the fact that they have 10 players
on their roster who played high
school football in California.
