Veteran Nebraska tennis team
has NCAA Tournament potential

Staff Reporter
With most ol the members of last
year's Big Eight runner-up team re
turning, Nebraska meti s tennis coach
Kerry McDermott hopes to duplicate
or improve last year's finish.
“This year’s team looks very
promising,” he said. “I’m anxious for
this year to begin. This is the most
talent I have seen as a coach.”
McDermotts, in his 8th year at
Nebraska, said this year the Corn
huskers have a chance to make their
first trip as a team to the NCAA cham
pionships.
McDermott is optimistic because
Nebraska lost only one player, Brad
Scheidcggcr, from last year’s team.
The Huskcrs return Pat Carson, half
of the 1986 Big Eight No. 3 doubles
champions, from a redshirt season.
The Huskcrs also return seniors
Steven and Stuart Jung.
Steven Jung is a two-time NCAA
participant in singles competition.
The Jung brothers were rated as high
as No. 19 in doubles competition last
season.
Nebraska also relurns senior
Robert Sjoholm and junior Ken
Feucr. Sjoholm is the defending Big
Eight No. 2 singles champion and
Fcucr finished 2nd in the conference
in No. 3 singles last season.
In addition, the Huskers signed
Troy Larsen from Kearney. Larsen
proved his worth by defeating
McDermott, a former Husker varsity
player, in a tournament earlier this
summer in Lincoln.
Sophomore Andy Auch Moedy,
from Kearney, also should add depth
to the Husker squad, McDermott said.
Auch Mocdy played little with the
varsity last year, but is expected to
contribute this season.
With this lineup, the Huskers have
a chance to win the Big Eight title
over perennial powerhouses Kansas,
w hich captured the title last year, and
Oklahoma State, McDermott said.
The Huskers defeated Kansas 5-4
in a dual meet last season at a time
when the Jayhaw ks were rated No. 25
in the country.
Practice will be the key to the
Huskers success this season, McDer
mott said.
“My No. I goal is to work as hard
as w e can in practice,” he said. “W hat
is done on the court is done in prac
tice. Our total attitude has to be to give
100 percent every time we go out.”
McDermott said intense practice
could lead to bigger things— like Big
Eight and NCAA championships.
McDermott also hopes to sec the
Huskers break into the top 20 ratings
for the first time.
“I just don’t want to break into the
top 20,” he said. “I want to break in
there and stay.”
McDermotlsaid thcsuccessof last
year’s team has aided recruiting.
“We are actually getting letters
from kids we have been trying to
recruit who wouldn't look our way,”
he said. “Boys w ho are ranked in the
top 50 in the country are beginning to
write about our scholarships and pro
grams.”
McDermott said he hopes last
year’s success carries over to this
year’s team.
“This is the year we make it hap
pen,” McDermott said. “It all starts in
practices. The guys are wanting it
(success) for themselves.”
