Sports Baseball team earns third in Big Eight tournament By Todd Cooper Staff Reporter The Nebraska baseball team closed out its season May 18 with a 42-26 record and a third place finish in ihc Big Eight tournament in Oklahoma City. Nebraska, after a year absence from the tourney, qualified as one of the four teams to make the tournament by winning three of four must-win games at Iowa State to end the regular sea son. Those three victories carried Ne braska to a third seed in the tourna ment, where they played No. 2 seed Kansas State in the first round, win ning the game 7-5. Doug Tcglmcicr, 7-2, pitched the win, while Dave Matranga earned the save. Against top-seed Oklahoma State in the second round, Nebraska was one of few teams in postseason play to give the Cowboys all they could handle in a 3-2 defeat. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and Gary Tackett on second, junior third baseman Bill Vosik singled to left field. Tackett was waved home by Comhusker coach John Sanders on the hit but was thrown out at the plate to end the game. Freshman pitcher Josh Bullock, 5 4, gave up five hits to the Cowboys, who went on to win the tournament and advanced to the College World Series at Omaha’s Rosenblatt Sta dium where they lost to Georgia in the national championship game. Iowa Stale revenged the Huskers at the Big Eight tournament by elimi nating them with a 16-3 major deci sion. Vosik was the only Husker named to the All-Tournament team. But, first baseman Bobby Benjamin, second baseman Kevin Jordan and relief pitcher Matranga were All-Big Eight selections. Vosik and Shawn Buchanan were named to the second team, while Brian McAm was named honorable mention. Jordan also was named third team All-American by Baseball America Magazine. McAm led the team in hilling this season with a balling average of .354, while Benjamin led the team in home runs with 18, runs batted in with 73, walks with 66 and a .652 slugging percentage. Matranga, a left-handed junior reliever, led the team with an ERA of 2.16. Nebraska loses only two seniors this year in pitcher Dale Kistailis, 1 0, and third baseman Kevin French, who hit .328 this season. NU tennis player comes up short At the NCA A men’s tennis cham pionships May 18 to 27 in Palm Springs, Calif., Nebraska sophomore Matthias Mueller lost to the eventual singles runner-up. In addition, Mueller, in teaming with senior Ken Feuer, lost to the eventual doubles champions. Mueller was beat in singles com petition by UCLA’s Jason Netter, 4 6, 6-2, 6-3. In doubles competition, Mueller and Feuer were ousted by California’s Doug Eisenman and Matt Luccna, 6-2,6-4. NU golfer receives student-athlete award By Darran Fowler Senior Editor Nebraska sophomore Joanne Brooks was named this year’s recipi ent of the Edith Munson Award, which recognizes the nation’s top student athlctc golfer, by the National Goll Coaches Association. Brooks, who was one of 10 indi viduals selected to participate in the NCAA golf championships May 23 26 at the Arthur Hills Course in Hil ton Head Island, S.C., also earned first-team NGCA Wilson All-Aca demic and Wilson honorable men tion All-America honors. Teammate Ann Guibcrson, a jun ior, earned her second consecutive Coaches All-Academic award after being the first Nebraska golfer to cam the honor last year. “It just shows that, by combining the two... you can be an athlete and a student and be successful in both,” said Robin Scherer, Comhuskcr women’s golf coach. At the NCAA Championships, Brooks, the Huskcrs’ first women’s golfer to play in the national champi onship toumamcnl since 1982, hn ished 47th with a score of 314. “She shot 75 the first day and was 11th, but from there she had a little trouble,” Scherer said. Brooks fol lowed with rounds of 81,79 and 79. “It was a good experience for her,” the third-year coach said. “She proha bly didn’t play up to her potential but she played well. “When you play in a tournament of that level you have to have a great tournament to win. She just didn’t play steady golf. She played average that week.” Scherer said Brooks’ success this year docs not raise her expectations of the Tauranga, New Zealand native and two-Umc All-Big Eight performer come next season. “I already expected her to be one of the lop players in the country,” she said. Bui with Brooks and Guibcrson both finishing the season ranked among the nation’s lop 85 golfers and relum ing, Scherer said, Nebraska will have a “really good team next year.” “We’ll definitely be bcticr next year,” she said. “I’m really excited.” Michelle Paulman/Dally Nebraskan Renee Hawley of Linda's Lounge Lizards tries to tag Randy Ogata of the College of Denistry team at second base during a recent UNL summer co-recreational softball game.
