Nebraska’s drubbing of the Jay hawks
clinches tie for Big Eight Championship
By Jeff Apel
Senior Reporter
There were no joyous celebrations
after the Nebraska volleyball team
clinched at least a share of this year’s
Big Eight, regular-season tide by
defeaung Kansas 15-6, 15-7, 15-8
Tuesday night at the NU Coliseum.
Nebraska volleyball coach Terry
Pettit said the Comhuskers didn’t
stage any big celebrations after the
victory because they want to place
their emphasis on the rest of the sea
son. Nebraska will close out its regu
lar-season schedule by facing Kansas
Stale Saturday night in Manhattan,
Kan., then will compete in the Big
Eight and NCAA Tournaments.
Pettit said Nebraska places a lot of
emphasis on winning the Big Eight’s
post-season tournament crown be
cause that title would earn the Husk
ers an automatic birth in the NCAA
competition. That first round of that
competition will be staged Dec. 1-3,
while the NCAA rcgionals will take
place Dec. 8-10. The final round of
the NCAA competition w ill be held
Dec. 15-17 in Minneapolis, Minn.
Pettit said Nebraska does not place
as much emphasis on w inning the Big
Eight’s regular-season title because
capturing it earns teams the top seed
in the conference tournament.
“We take a lot of pride in the feat,”
he said, “but I don’t know that it
makes any difference being the No.
one seed or the No. two seed.’’
Pettit said he could not fault his
squad even though it was flat against
Kansas. He said the Huskcrs, who are
rated fifth in the latest American
Volleyball Coaches Association Poll
and sixth in the latest NCAA rankings
w ith a 24-4 record overall and a 10-1
mark in the Big Eight, might have
been suffering from mental fatigue.
The loss dropped Kansas to 5-22
overall and 1-9 in the conference.
“We didn’t play real well,” Pettit
said. “But sometimes you're not
going to look real good. Even the (Los
Angeles) Lakers don't always look
great.”
Kansas volleyball coach I rankie
Albit/ said she couldn’t fault her
squad’s effort. She said Nebraska is
an excellent team that deserves to be
in Big Eight title contention.
“What would surprise me is if they
weren’t,” Albit/ said. “That would be
a surprise.”
Albit/ said the only weaknesses
Nebraska shows is in its middle game
and in the seller's corner. She said the
Huskcrs’ middleappears to be “a little
soft,” while the setter’s corner was
vulnerable several limes during the
match.
Albitz said both problems can be
easily corrected. She said they
should not cause Nebraska an abun
dance of problems as it prepares for
post-season competition.
“Terry can pay me for the scouting
report later,” Albitz said.
Kansas took a 3-1 lead in the first
game, but Nebraska tied the score 3
3 on a kill by freshman outside hitter
Janet Kruse and a Kansas error. The
Huskers broke a 4-4 tic when a hit by
Kansas’ Jodi Oelschlager sailed long,
then increased their lead to 14-6 on a
tip by middle blocker Carla Baker.
Nebraska won the game w hen a hit by
the Jayhawks’ Kris Klcinschmidt
sailed into the net.
Nebraska races out to a 5-0 lead in
the second game, then broke a 7-7 tic
on a Kansas error. The Huskers in
creased their lead to 14-7 on a lip by
outside hitter Val Novak and scored
the game’s winning point on a kill by
Novak.
Nebraska won the match by taking
a 4-0 lead in the third game, then
increased its lead to 13-7 on a Kansas
error. The Huskers won the game
when a kill by Kruse brought it to its
final 15-8 outcome.
Notes: Pettit said Sue Hesch, a
sophomore outside hitter from
Wahpcton, N. Dakota, missed that
match with a stress fracture in her leg.
