Pettit overhauls volleyball lineup I
By Mark Derowitsch
Senior Reporter
Nebraska’s volleyball team lost three
All-America players after last year’s
banner season, leaving coach Terry
Pettit to overhaul half of his lineup.
Pettit faces the tall order of replacing
All-Americas Karen Dahlgren, Tisha
Delaney and Enid Schonewise, who
completed their eligibility last season.
As seniors last year, those three led
Nebraska to a 29-6 record and a second
place finish at the NCAA championships
in Stockton, Calif.
“Obviously, you never replace the
athletes you lose,” Pettit said, "but
with the talent we have returning, I
think we have the personnel to have a
successful season.”
Pettit said that Nebraska will rely on
returning starters Kathi DeBoer, Vir
ginia Stahr and Lori Endicott to form
the nucleus of the team. He said Jackie
Cook, Angie Millikan and Barbie Young
will also have considerable playing
time this season.
“Those people provide the core of
our experience,” Pettit said, “which
gives us reason to believe that we
should have a pretty good volleyball
team.”
Pettit said mat tnree iresnmen couia
also play: Val Novak — considered one
of the top high school setters in the
nation last year — and twins Sara and
Sue Hesch.
"We had a very good recruiting
class,” Pettit said, "but in a program
like Nebraska’s, freshmen usually don't
have an impact until their second year.
"Generally, a season is determined
by your veterans’ consistency.”
Pettit said that the Huskers, who
have won 48 consecutive matches
against Big Eight opponents, have set a
goal of capturing their 12th straight
conference championship this year. He
said they also plan to challenge for the
national championship.
Pettit said he is looking forward to
the Huskers’ schedule, which includes
matches against national powers Penn
State, Texas, Notre Dame and Western
Michigan. Nebraska ousted Penn State
in the second-round of the NCAA Mid
east Regional last year by winning a
five-set match that lasted more than
two hours.
"We have a tradition of putting an
exciting team on the court and I don’t “
think that will change this season,”
Pettit said. "It’s not a matter of pushing
buttons, but of playing good volleyball.”
