Seniors lead spikers
into Cyclone match
Nebraska has gone 103-23 in
volleyball over the past four
seasons. Cathy Noth, Mary
Buysse and Julie Hermann, the
three seniors who will play
their last conference home
game tonight, are the reasons
for that, according to coach
Terry Pettit.
Hermann didn't play much
.during her freshman year but
emerged as a part-tune starter
her sophomore year and a
regular the next season. The
former walk-on from Nebraska
City is an example of determi
nation, Pettit said
When Julie came here she
did not have many volleyball
skills, but she was someone
who made herself into a good
player by believing in herself
and through hours of repeti
tion."
Hermann won two conference
p!ayer-of-the-week awards this
season and holds a team record
for kills in a match.
Buysse started most of her
freshman season after starring
in three sports in Marshall,
Mmn. Onry 5-6, she can be the
most dominating player on the
Husker squad, Pettit said.
"At Missouri, she w&3 able to
maintain her intensity and yet
be patient while the rest of the
team was not performing well,"
Pettit said "Mary has the dis
cipline to learn how the team
can win and follow through
with the plan."
Buysse, the team's top set
ter, plays that position as well
as anyone at Nebraska has in
eight years, Pettit said.
Noth was an All-American,
according to one volleyball pub
lication last year. She also made
the junior national team over
the summer and stood out on
that squad. With a good tour
nament, the Bettendorf, Iowa,
native could become a four
time all-conference selection.
"Cathy does so many things
well, it's getting to the point
where all I can say is just
watch her play. That says it
ali," Pettit said.
"One of the strengths of our
team this year has been the
team's ability to resize how
strong a performer Cathy is.
It's a tribute to her personality
and team orientation that
there's no jealousy of her skills"
