NU sweeps
Creighton

The Nebraska women’s tennis team
was near-perfect Saturday in defeat
ing Creighton 9-0 at the Woods Park
tennis center.
The Comhuskers not only didn’t
lose a match, they didn’t even surren
der a set to the Bluejays. Nebraska’s
Nancy Tyggum at No. 3 singles and
Meghan Quinn at No. 6 singles each
swept matches 6-0,6-0, and no Com
husker lost more than four games to
any Creighton player.
“This was our best performance so
far,” Nebraska coach Bob Hampton
said. “If we play as well as we did
today, we can play with anyone.”
About a hundred fans attended the
dual, Nebraska’s last competition until
April. Most of the Huskers said they
see the month off as beneficial.
“The time off will give us time to
work on things that need improve
ment,” said Rachel Collins, who won
her Nn 4 sin pies ma'r.h 6-1.6-2 and
teamed with Tyggum at No. 1 doubles
for a 6-1,6-1 victory.
“With this time off, we’re going to
have to make the best of practices,”
Hampton said. “We still have things
to work on before the Big Eight starts.”
Many of the Huskers said they
need to improve before the Big Eight
season begins.
“I played decent, but i’m not at the
top of my game,” said Ann Flannery,
who won at No. 2 singles 6-1,6-3, and
paired with Ildiko Gilba at No. 2
doubles for a 6-1,6-2 triumph. Guba
won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 1 singles.
Tina Coutretsis won at No. 5 singles
6-1, 6-1, after teaming with Heidi
Junius to beat Creighton’s No. 3
doubles tandem 6-3,6-1.
“I was very impressed with our
performance and confidence,” Hamp
ton said.
Nebraska next will play defending
Big Eight champion Oklahoma State
on April 6.
Sooner dream nightmare for Huskers
From Staff Reports
Nebraska men’s gymnastics coach Francis
Allen’s pre-mcct nightmare came true Satur
day night against Oklahoma.
Allen has said he was afraid that if Okla
homa seniors Jarrod Hanks, Brian Halstead and
Jeff Lutz competed in the all-around, the Husk
ers would be in trouble.
The trio finished first, second and fourth,
respectively, in the individual competition,

down to the wire.”
Nebraska’s Beau Reid, who had a game
high 21 points aijd seven assists, canned four
consecutive free throws to give the Huskers a
79-72 edge with 1:33 remaining. Free throws
by Clifford Scales, Keith Moody and Eric Pi
atkowski and a dunk by Tony Farmer sealed the
^ win.
VNec commended his team’s competitive
ness.
We just kept fighting and playing, and we
found a way to win,” he said. “We gave a real
good effort, and anything less than that and we
would have got beat.”
Nebraska had trouble getting the ball inside
to 7-foot, 2-inch center Rich King, who scored
nine points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field.
King had averaged 23 points in the six previous
games.
King said that although he was happy with
the win, he was disappointed in the way the
Huskers played.
“We made (the Wildcats) look better than
they are," King said. “I think they’re a decent
team, but I don’t think we played well at all.”
Nee said that although his players may not
have been pleased with the margin of victory,
he still considers a win a win.
“Sometimes (the players) expect that they
should win by 20, and they don’t feel good
leading Oklahoma to a 284.80 to 280.25 vic
tory over Nebraska. Iowa State scored 263 in
the triangular at Norman, Okla.
The Huskers trailed by only .35 after two
events but the Sooners— whom Allen labelled
the best team in the nation before the meet —
pulled away in the rings and in the vault.
Nebraska's Brad Bryan finished third in the
all-around with a career-high 56.75. The Corn
huskers’ total was their highest this year.
about winning by eight,1' Nee said. “But we
were able to control our court and win at
home.”
The win raised Nebraska’s Big Eight record
to 8-4 and assured the Huskers of their first
winning season in the conference since the
1985-86 team went 8-6.
Nebraska trails league-leaders Kansas and
Oklahoma State by one game, but will play
both teams next week and can claim at least a
share of the conference title with victories in
both games.
“The reality of it is, going into the last two
games of the season, we can control our own
aesuny, Nee said, we don t have to depend
on anybody else, we can do it.”

and Kansas, the two teams ahead of Nebraska
in the Big Eight standings.
“The way we’re looking at it is that it’s a
three-team race now for the title and we’re in
last place,” he said. “We’re the underdog again,
and we play both of those teams this week.
Reid said he welcomes the underdog status.
“I hope no one thinks we’ll win,” he said. “It
just makes our team hungry and we need to be
hungry. We play so good when we’re mad and
feel like we have to prove something.
“I like it when it’s you against the world.
1 hat’s when wc play our best and that's when
I play my best,” he said.
“We just play good when our back’s to the
wall. Coming this week it’s to the wall again.”
