The Nebraska women's basket
ball team will travel to meet the
Colorado Lady Buffs at 5:45 p.m.
Saturday at the EventsConference
Center in Boulder, Colo.
Nebraska won its first meeting
this season 74-72.
Nebraska coach Angela Beck had
mixed feelings about Saturday's
game.
"I find that in the second game in
a road swing we're always a lot more
fatigued," Beck said. "We'll have to
be psychologically sharp for this
game."
The starters for Nebraska will be
forward Maurtice Ivy, who leads the
team in scoring and rebounding;
guards Amy Stephens and Stacy
Imming; forward Shelly Block; and
center Stephanie Bolli. Senior cen-
Tennis meet this weekend
By Tim Hartmann
Staff Reporter
Nebraska's men's tennis team will
travel to Las Vegas to compete in the
UNLV Quadrangular Friday through
Sunday. The Cornhuskers' competition
will be Murray State, Nevada-Reno and
host team Nevada-Las Vegas.
The meet will be the Huskers' first
team competition this spring, although
four players traveled to Milwaukee
during winter break to compete in the
Milwaukee Tennis Classic.
Nebraska coach Kerry McDermott
said this weekend's action will give
him a good chance to evaluate his
team.
"The biggest thing is that we have
been playing a lot of challenge matches.
. . .after this it will give me an idea as to
who to play where," he said.
Nebraska's biggest challenge should
come from UNLV, McDermott said, but
he expects the Huskers to do well in
the three dual meets.

Beck said the running game would
be an important part of the Huskers'
chances to win.
"I think we have the best running
game in the Big Eight," Beck said. "I
think we shock teams that don't
expect us to run."
Beck said that the improved run
ning game has created many more
rebounding opportunities during a
game.
"Now teams prepare for our run
ning game," Beck said. "They're so
worried about us running that they
don't hit the boards. That lets Stacy
or 'Tice' (Ivy) get the rebound and
bust out for a fast break."
Beck said the Huskers will have
to watch for three Colorado players:
Bridget Turner, a guard averaging 14
points per game, and forwards Tracy
"We're kind of expecting three wins,"
he said. "UNLV, I think, will be the
toughest competition. They have got a
kid, Scott Warner, who's ranked in the
top 15 in college.
"I think we are a little bit stronger in
the top three (positions)."
Nebraska will be led by sophomore

Beck said she wants the Huskers
to improve against Colorado.
, "We're giving up too many points,"
Beck said. "I'd like to see improve
ment in our defensive scoring and
overall defense."
Beck said she also would like to
see a more balanced scoring attack
and fewer turnovers.
Nebraska goes- into Saturday's
game leading the conference series
9-8. Against Lady Buffs' Coach Ceal
Barry, Nebraska trails 3-4, including
three losses last season.
The Huskers are in a four-way tie
for first place in the Big Eight Con
ference and are 5-3 in the Big Eight

"Steven Jung is playing really well,"
McDermott said. "He had kind of an
average first semester." McDermott
added that Jung played in several
tournaments overwinter break and has
improved.

NU to face
The Nebraska men's swimming team
hopes to avenge last year's loss to
Arkansas Saturday at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center. The meet starts at noon.
Nebraska, the No. 17 team in the
nation according to the College Swim
Coaches Association of America, was
defeated by the Razorbacks 60-53 last
season at Arkansas. In fact, the Huskers
have never defeated Arkansas in four
attempts. But that's not enough to
discourage Coach Cal Bentz.
"We think it's a great opportunity to
swim against a fast team and a nat
ionally ranked team," Bentz said.
The Cornhusker women's swimming
team will have an opportunity to in
crease its winning streak to seven
consecutive victories when Nebraska
faces Arkansas Saturday. The meet
begins at noon at the Bob Devaney

Nebraska women's coach Ray Hup
pert said he credits the majority of the
Huskers' new-found success to the
freshmen.
Now that they have established them
selves academically, competed in sev
eral meets and completed a taper,
Huppert said, the younger swimmers
know what to expect.
"They have had a chance to see all
the phases," Huppert said. "They know
now what is coming up."
Huppert said freshman experience
will be critical when Nebraska faces
the 5-2 Razorbacks because Arkansas
has outstanding athletes.
Arkansas is lead by Sherill McArton,
a Canadian who just finished competing
for the Canadian National team.
