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.
