The Nebraska women's swimming
team will have a chance to avenge an
early season loss to Kansas during the
Husker Invitational this weekend at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
The Comhuskers, 5-1, opened their
season by dropping a 144-point deci
sion to Kansas in the Jayhawk Invita
tional. But the chance to face Kansas again,
coach Ray Huppert said, is an excellent
opportunity for Nebraska, since the
Huskers are a much-improved team.
"I've seen steady improvement in
the team since the season began, so I'm
expecting a closer meet this time,"
Huppert said. "Our swimmers' times
are consistently getting faster and our
freshmen are starting to get to know
the program, so we should be better
prepared."

lem Globetrotters basketball team will
perform with the group Sunday, Dec. 15
in Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium.
Lynette Woodward, captain of the
1984 gold medal-winning women's bas
ketball team, is the first female to play
for the barnstorming troupe in its 60
year history. Woodard played college
basketball at the University of Kansas,
where she amassed 3,649 career points.

of the Bob Devaney Sports Center will
give Nebraska big advantage, Hup
pert said.
When the Huskers compete on the
road, he said, they must get used to the
pool's walls, lighting and platforms.
"Every pool is 25 yards in length, but
there is a big adjustment you have to go
through when you swim on the road,"
Huppert said. "Facing both Iowa State
and Kansas at home, though, will work
to our advantage because we won't
have to go through that adjustment
period."
Huppert said he is expecting just as
much competition from the other six
teams in the field as he is from Kansas.
Besides Kansas and Nebraska, the
competitors include Texas A&M, Texas
Tech, Colorado State, Iowa State and
North Dakota.
"Everybody has got individuals, so
it's going to be real tough," Huppert
said. "With final exams coming up,
most of the teams in the meet are going
"It seemed like they'd get every
loose ball," Washington said. "With
about three or four minutes left in the
game, the ball started bouncing our
way a bit."
Maurtice Ivy led Nebraska with 23
points. She fouled out late in the game
while attempting to make a steal.
"Maurtice played very well," Washing
ton said.
Angie Miller scored 16 points for
Nebraska, including four for four shoot
ing in the first half. Stacy Imming
scored 14 points with 11 points coming
in the second half. Amy Stephens

North Dakota coach Mike Stromberg
said that the 2 0 Fighting Sioux will
use the invitational as more of a learn
ing experience.
He said North Dakota is at an instant
disadvantage going into the meet,
since it is a Division II team.
"We like to schedule one meet a year
like this just to insure that we do face
some top-notch competition," Strom
berg said. "There's definitely a differ
ence between Division I and Division II
swimming, but we get into this."
Athletes to watch on the North
Dakota squad, Stromberg said, include
seniors Marry Beth, Genine Owens and
Barb Lee.
Beth is the defending Division II
national champion in the 100-yard but
terfly. Owens and Lee joined Beth as
Division II AU-Americans last season.

this team, but it remains to be seen

Washington said Nebraska's largest
lead in the game was six points while
the Fighting Kangaroos' largest lead
was seven points.
UMKC was led in the game by Ste
phanie Worthy's 32 points.
"She (Worthy) is a very good player,"
Washington said.

squat and a 230-pound bench press.
Kris Kobza, UNL's only finisher in
the women's class, earned third place
with a total of 775 pounds lifted. Her
finish was helped in part by a 340
pound dead lift.
Other UNL finishers included fourth
place winner Steve Pankas and fifth
place winner Mike Kros in the 148
pound weight class. Dolan Smith
finished in fourth place in the 181

it will build our confidence and give us
an idea of how our training program is."
Colorado State coach John Mattos
said that the 4-0 Golden Rams will
enter the invitational with the hope of
earning an upset victory.
Nebraska has defeated Colorado
State each of the past four years, but
Mattos said this year's Ram team is
more competitive.
"In the past couple of years we have
been down a little bit in talent com
pared to Nebraska, but this year I feel
we have the talent to compete with
them," he said. "We're a much-improved
team over last year."
Mattos said he considers Val Lang in
the breaststroke and Kerry Gillespie in
the distance events to be the Rams'

Lang is undefeated this season in
both the 100- and 200-yard breast
stroke. Gillespie continues to turn in
steady performances, Mattos said.
"We'll definitely be ready for this
invitational," he said. "We're going to
be fully tapered. Some of our kids may
even shave."
Little is known about either Texas
A&M or Texas Tech except that both
schools have respectable programs,
Huppert said. He said that Southwest
Conference swimming is very compar

conference.
"All of the teams in this invitational
are capable of beating one another. It's
going to be exciting," Huppert said. "It
should be one good invitational."
