for experienced Husker team

After finishing in sixth place in the Big
Eight Conference last year, Nebraska's
women's basketball team will have little
else to do but go up.
Coach Kelly Kill said overs!! team exper
ience will help the younger players on the
team.
"With as much experience m we have
on the team, End the quickness that we
have, we should give the other team3 in
V.o swssmfctrAnno a roel tnneh t.irns TI!!! mild.
th conference a red toush time. Kill said.
The Huskers will rely on the old fast
break to overcome height problems. Three
seniors, Debra Powell, Cathy Owen, and
Terri Parriott, will lead the attack. Powell
is currently second on the all-time scor
ing list st UML with 1 7.0 points per game,
and she led the team in scoring last year.
Owen led the nation in free throw per
centage last year with a mark of 83.3
percent.
Terri Parriott is a 5-11 forward who
last year averaged 6.3 points a game and
3.8 rehouncb per game. Kill said she will
play Parriott mostly in the post position,
and that she should be an improved
player after playing with the Athletes in
Action team last summer.
The Huskers picked up High School Ail
American Maurtice Ivy from Omaha Cen
tral. She was one of the nation's top
recruits and Hill thinks that Ivy's strong
jumping ability will contribute to the
team.
"Maurtice has outstanding athletic abil
ity," Hill said. "She is still learning the sys
tem here and adjusting to college, but as
the season progresses, I am sure the fans
will see more of her."
Hill said the team will have one of the
toughest schedules in the nation. It will
play in the Dial Classic tournament in
December, which will feature national
powers Tennessee and Northeast
Louisiana
"We will be playing several teams in the
pre-season that were at one time last
year in the Top 20" Hill said.
Hill said the Big Eight is one of the
toughest conferences in the nation. Mis
souri and Kansas State were in the top 10
in the nation last year.
"I think that ifwe can play good defense
and upset some teams, we can finish in
the top four of the conference," Kill said
Last year, the Huskers missed finishing in
fourth place by just two points. They lost
to Oklahoma State in the last seconds of
the Big Eight Tournament's opening game.
Hill said the team will rely on a full
court press and a swarming defense to
contain their opponents.
The only problem for the Huskers b
that they dont have a dominating center.
In fact they are one of the smaller teams
in the nation.
"We are just one player away from
becoming a great team, and we are work
ing on that for next year," Hill said.
Hill hopes that the Huskers will get
more fan support this year. She said all of
the Big Eight games will be played before
the men's games to encourage attendance.
"It is a little frustrating for our players
Hill said. "Our type of play is very wide
open and it is very exciting to watch."
