Volleyball schedule sees many high-ranking teams By Darran Fowler Senior Kditor The Nebraska volleyball learn w ill play in national championship-like conditions often during its 29-match regular season. This year's schedule includes a bevy of nationally ranked teams, according to Volleyball Monthly magazine’s pre-season rankings, which lias Nebraska ranked No. 2. The NCAA and Coaches polls have not been re leased. On tap for Nebraska are seven of the lop 10 teams, and three others in the top 20. At a tournament in Hawaii the first week of the season, the Cornhuskers will play No. 1 UCLA, which Ne braska beat in the Final Four semifi nals last season before losing the NCAA title to Long Beach State. The team also will play No. 3 Hawaii and No. 7 Ohio State at the tournament. [Nebraska will play No. 4 lexas and No. 20 Wisconsin at the NU Coliseum, and No. 5 Pacific, No. 6 Stanford, No. 8 Illinois and No. 13 Brigham Young on the road. In addi tion, the Huskers play No. 18 Colo rado, in both home and away Big Eight matches. And there’s more. Nebraska w ill sec Minnesota, North Carolina, Wyoming and Illinois Slate,all teams who made the 32-icam field of the 1989 NCAA tournament. “Our schedule is as lough as any body’s,” Huskcr coach Terry Pettit said at Sunday's team photo day at the Coliseum. “There’s nobody that can win the national championship that we don’t play.” Nebraska, which finished 29-4 in 1989, began two-a-day practices Monday in preparation for a Sept. 1, home opener with the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Four starters return, including two - senior setter Val Novak and junior outside hitter Janet Krusc-who were named first-team All-Americans. Also back are outside hitlers Cris Hall, a junior, and sophomore Eileen Shan non. Counting senior outside hitler Linda Barsncss, the Huskers, in essence, have five starters bac k Barsaess, who led the learn in kills as a sophomore, suffered a season-ending knee injury the second match of the season last year. Spots that need to be filled arc the two middle blocker positions left vacant by Carla Baker and Virginia Stahr, who used up their collegiate eligibil ity. Pettit has several players ready to step in. He said sophomore Stephanie Thaler played “exceptional” at this summer’s Olympic Festival, and jun ior Sara Hesch played “terrific” during the team’s spring workouts. Hall also will spend time at middle blocker, he said. Senior serving specialist Becky Bolli, sophomore outside hitter Deb bie Brand and sophomore setter Val erie Vcrmuclcn also return. “We have talent at every posi tion,” Pettit said. I here arc lour new arrivals in scholarship players Laura Luther and Nikki Strieker, and walk-ons Kim Kinnan and Jessica Waller. With lour starters back from a team that w as a match away from the national title, a lot of teams could be gunning for Nebraska. “There always is, but there may be a little more this year,” Pettit said. “There nave been few tunes in the last five, six years that we hadn't play anylxtdy where we weren't as impor tant a match as they had on their schedule. 1 don't think it’s anything new.” Looking at the Big Eight, he said, Kansas could be the surprise team ol the league. Pettit, who has led Ne braska to 13 of its 14-straight confer ence championships, said Kansas played Nebraska lough during the spring. Karen Dahlgrcn-Schoncwisc, a two time Husker All-American who helped lead Nebraska to a national runner up finish in 1986, is an assistant coach at Kansas, where Pettit said she has a lot of input. “She's had a major impact on turning that program around,” he said. He added that he doesn't think Colorado will fade after emerging onto the national scene last year, and that Iowa State has experience and talent. He said Oklahoma is young but talented and probably is the league team that best matches Nebraska physically. Nebraska ranks lower than usual during preseason By Todd Cooper Staff Reporter Nebraska is finding ilself ranked lower than usual in some of the pre scason football rankings, and Coach Tom Osborne said that's because ol the Cornhuskers' status at quarter back. Nebraska is ranked anywhere from fourth to I6ih, and at Friday’s team photo day press conference, Osborne said preseason rankings are often based on the experience of quarterbacks. Nebraska began two-a-day practices Saturday. “1 remember back in Id7b when See OSBORNE on 7
