Nebraska women s gymnastics team
beats Missouri despite inconsistencies
By Mike O'Malley
Staff Reporter
Three years of domination was
extended Sunday for the Nebraska
women’s gymnastics team as it de
feated Missouri 185.2-182.8 in Co
lumbia, Mo.
Nebraska women’s gymnastics
coach Rick Walton said he was
pleased with the Cornhuskers’ vic
tory against Missouri despite Ne
braska’s decrease in point produc
tion. The Huskers, who have not lost
a conference meet in three years, lost
1.9 points from their 187.1 total that
gave them the team title in the Huskie
Invitational on Jan. 13 in Seattle.
Walton said he was disturbed with
the Huskers’ occasional lack of con
centration.
“There w ere a lot of falls and silly
mistakes,” Walton said. “That's
pretty indicative ol what happened in
the meet.”
Junior Tami Bair and sophomore
Lisa McCrady both had problems
against Missouri. Bair’s score
dropped from 37.35 to 35.7 after she
fell twice on the balance beam and
once on the uneven bars, and
McCrady’s score plummeted from
37.4 to 37.1 after she fell in four
events.
Nebraska outdistanced the Tigers
in all four events even though Mis
souri’s Mary Houghton edged team
mate Mary Dorn for the all-around
title with a score of 37.85. The lop
performer for Nebraska was junior
Jane Clemons, w ho won the balance
beam competition with a 9.5 score
and tied Houghton for 3rd place in the
uneven bars with a 9.6
Nebraska’s Crystal Savage edged
out teammate Michele Bryant to win
me uneven uais iuihjjcuuuu wiui a
9.8 score.
Bryant lied Dorn lor 1st place on
the vault with a 9.45 score. Ne
braska’s Jcaneane Smith finished 2nd
in the vault with with a 9.4 score.
“We’re not setting the world on
fire,” Walton said. “We won the
meet when we were having an off
night but teams have to be consistent
in order to win the championship.
There’s already eight teams that have
scored 187 or better.”
Nebraska’s next meet is on Feb. 3,
when the Huskcrs travel to Los Ange
les to face UCLA.
“We have a week to work the bugs
out before going against UCLA,
who’s either 1st or 2nd in the coun
try,” Walton said. “If we can't get
motivated for UCLA then we won’t
gel motivated all year. We should be
emotionally primed.”
Husker women lose desire, and game
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
The inability to play lor 40 min
utes doomed the Nebraska’s
women’s basketball team during its
loss to Kansas State Saturday in
Manhattan, Kan.
Nebraska women’s basketball
coach Angela Beck said Monday that
the Cornhuskers weren’t ready to
play a full game against Kansas Slate.
She said that led to Nebraska’s 83-80
loss to the Wildcats.
“Mentally we didn’t have the
desire to play 40 minutes,’’ Beck
said. “The loss was due to us not
being mentally ready to play. We
thought they would roll over and give
us the victory.’’
The loss dropped Nebraska to 11
6 overall and 2-2 in the Big Eight,
while Kansas State improved to 12-5
and 2-2.
Beck said Nebraska played well in
the game’s first 10 minutes. But the
Huskers’ concentration broke down
I- L 3 I
later in the first half, enabling Kansas
Stale to take a 48-28 lead at halftime.
Nebraska was impatient and
didn’t share the basketball during the
latter part of the first half, Beck said.
The Huskers committed 20 turnovers
in the opening half and had 31 the
entire game.
"Wedidn’t play Nebraska basket
ball very well,’’ Beck said.
Beck said the Kansas Stale set
back was her most disappointing loss
of the year. She said the Wildcats are
an improved team that is tough to
beat at home.
Beck said the play of sophomore
center Ann Halsnc was one of the
Huskers’ few bright spots against the
Wildcats. Beck said she was happy
she was able to include Halsnc in
Nebraska’s offense. Halsnc scored 25
points in the second hall and ended
the game with 29.
“We had the ability to gain our
composure and come back from a 20
point deficit,’’ Beck said. "When
ever you play on the road you want to
pul yourself in a position to win. We
nr\ i i
didn t get ihc ‘ W .1 he bottom line is
it’s an ‘L’.”
Beck said that although she
couldn’t find many positive aspects
of the game, it should help the Husk
crs in future road contests.
“This was a great character
builder,” Beck said. “We need to
come back with a much better per
formance.”
To become successful, individual
Nebraska players need to start per
forming belter, she said
“The reason we haven’t been
successful is because we have not had
a consistent performance from the
whole team,” Beck said. “We need
some individuals to gain more con
sistency. Several of our upperclass
men didn’t have a good game.”
The Huskers’ next two games are
very important, Beck said. Nebraska
plays at Oklahoma on Wednesday
and at Missouri on Sunday.
“We need to get a w in on the road
during this swing,” Beck said. “We
must go out and earn a win.”

An excellent effort by the Ne
braska women’s tennis team contrib
uted to an improved showing at the
Gopher Doubles Invitational last
weekend in Minneapolis.
Nebraska women’s tennis coach
Gregg Calvin said the Cornhuskers
unofficially finished 2nd in the five
team tournament, only one match
behind Minnesota. He said that finish
was a marked improvement over
what he saw in October, when Ne
braska was dominated by Minnesota
at the Husker Invitational.
Calvin said Nebraska’s lofty fin
ish in Minnesota will help the Husk
ers when they travel to South Bend,
Ind., Feb. 3 through 5 to compete in
the Notre Dame doubles tournament
“What we’re trying to do with
these two tournaments is take three
weeks to concentrate on doubles,’ ’ he
said. “Often in a tournament you will
split the singles matches and it will
come down to the doubles.”
Calvin said Nebraska will begin
playing almost every weekend after it
iw Luiiviu .Miv.u.11 viii
March 10.
Nebraska’s No. I doubles learn of
Doncta Holmcn and Nancy Tyggum
led ihc Huskers by compiling a 5-1
record. Holmcn and Tyggum already
have beaten the 13th-rankcd team in
the country this season, and will face
the 2nd-ranked team from Oklahoma
State and the lOth-ranked team from
Colorado later this year.
Nebraska’s No. 2 doubles team of
lldiko Cuba and Kathrin Edclkoltcr
compiled a 4-2 record, a feat which
pleased Calvin.
“They’ve really come on as a
doubles team,’’ Calvin said.
Nebraska’s No. 3 doubles team,
which was comprised of Rachel
C ollins and either Meghan Quinn or
Leslie Sue Jones, went undefeated in
the second bracket.
Calvin said the tournament
showed him that Nebraska is getting
prepared for the start of its Big Eight
season in April. He said he would set
the Huskers’ line-up for conference
competition after the Notre Dame
tournament.
