Nebraska's women's basketball team ended a
less than spectacular Christmas break by clob
bering Northeastern Illinois 94-47 Saturday at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
, It was the Huskers' first round of the Domi
nos's Pizza Wolverine Classic. Before then, the
Huskers handed then 17th-ranked Texas Tech
its second loss of the season.
Nebraska had few problems with 7-6 North
- eastern-after r slow start. Both teams- scored
fewer than eight points in the first five minutes.

But, unlike last year's Orange Bowl,
when the Huskers had difficulty hear
ing quarterback Turner Gill's audible
calls over thousands of screaming Miami
fans, LSU supporters showed their
southern hospitality and posed few
problems for Nebraska's offense.
NU left guard Harry Grimminger
said the crowd bothered the team only
once the entire game.
"We didn't have any problems with
the noise," Grimminger said. "They
were loud a little bit in the fourth quar
ter, but other than that I didn't think
we had any problem at all.
"For some reason, I don't think the
fans were into the game like the way
they were two years ago down in
Miami."
The 18 point loss was the second
bowl disappointment in three years for
the Tiger faithful. Nebraska delt LSU a
21-20 loss in the Orange Bowl two years
ago. .
Senior quarterback Craig Sundberg
threw three touchdown passes for Ne
braska, including two to tight end Todd
rr&in in the fourth quarter to seal the
win. Sundberg also ran for a touch-

The Nebraska press and bench strength gradu
ally took over. Robbie Franklin, Northeastern's
6-3 center, helped Northeastern with a few
rebounds and easy baskets underneath, but the
faster Nebraska squad took a 21-point lead into
half time and expanded that to as much as 40 in
the second half.
Freshman Maurtice Ivy led Nebraska with 21
points, most of them coming from steals and
layups. Senior Debra Powell followed with 13
while Annie Adamczak added 1 1 and Shelly
Block and Angie Miller scored 10 points each.

tion for the bowl trip.
"It's a reflection on how he came
back and showed the perserverance as
a football player that ht never gave
up," Grimminger said.
Sundberg battled not only a blitzing
Tiger defense, but a case of the flu as
well. A 101 degree fever on New Year's
Eve did not break until the afternoon of
the game.
"I didn't think he would be able to
play personally," Nebraska center Mark
Traynowicz said.
Sundberg said the fact that he was
playing in his last collegiate game was
a motivational tool.
"This is probably my last game,
ever," Sundberg said. "It was very
important to me to play. I guess I prob
ably would have pushed myself even if I
wouldn't have felt good later in the
Another star, Doug DuBose, a sopho
more from Uncasville, Conn., came in
for starting I-back Jeff Smith in the
second quarter and did his version of
Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" In the LSU
secondary. DuBose compiled 102 yards
rushing and scored the Husker's first
touchdown on a 31-yard screen pass
