Phelps leaves
Fighting Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Six
weeks after ending one of his worst
seasons at Notre Dame, Digger Phelps
ended his men’s college basketball
coaching career.
Phelps ended months of specula
tion Monday when he announced his
departure from Notre Dame after 20
years of coach ing the Fighting Irish to
some memorable victories but never
to a national championship.
“For the last two decades it’s never
been a job,” Phelps said. “Every day,
even with the ups and downs, was like
Christmas Day, where you opened up
the present you wanted most.”
Last season was anything but a
present. The Irish, hit by a rash of
injuries, fell to 12-20. It was Phelps’
worst season since Notre Dame went
I 6-20 in 1971-72, his first with the
Irish. ^
1 he search tor a successor has not
officially begun, associate athletic
director Roger Valdeserri said. Scton
Hall coach P. J. Carlesimo and Duke’s
Mike Krzyzewksi already have said
they are not interested.
The next Notre Dame coach may
have been involved Nebraska’s first
round NCAA game. Speculation at
the end of the season suggested that
Nebraska coach Danny Nee and Xavier
coach Pete Gillen, both former Phelps
assistants, might be candidates. It’s
expected that Gillen will become a
leading candidate.
“If there is any interest in Pete
Gillen, I’m sure Notre Dame will use
the proper channels and contact me
first,” Xavier athletic director Jeff
Fogelson said. “We are planning for
next season with Pete Gillen as our
basketball coach.”
Phelps, who led Notre Dame to 14
NCAA tournament appearances but
reached the Final Four only in 1978,
offered no regrets and gave no indica
tion that the pressures of a losing
season drove him to step down.
Phelps, who had a 393-197 record
at Notre Dame and a 419-200 head
coaching record, including one sea
son at Fordham, said his immediate
plans are to spend more time on his
hobby, painting.

Bluejays pick Barone aide as head coach
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —
Creighton on Monday selected Rick
Johnson, a six-year Bluejay assis
tant, to fill the coaching vacancy
created by last week’s departure of
Tony Barone.
Barone took the head coaching
job at Texas A&M April 9.
Athletic Director Dick Myers
said last week that he preferred to
select a new coach from the current
staff of Johnson and Dick Fick to
continue the program Barone built.
Johnson, 31, a Kearney State
graduate who headed the basket
ball program at Gibbon High School
for four years, had been Barone’s
full-time assistant coach for the
past two years and has been with
the Creighton program ror oar
one’s six years.
In those six years, Creighton
compiled a 102-82 record, includ
ing three straight 20-win seasons.
This season’s 24-8 mark set a school
record for most wins in a season.
Johnson said Barone’s Novem
ber recruits should still be coming
to Omaha.
“I talked to the parents of two of
the recruits and to the coaches of
two recruits,” Johnson said. “I think
if (parents and coaches) could speak
for the players, they’re still com
ing. The players who signed with
Creighton last fall signed for the
right reasons.”
Top high school gymnast signs with NU
Nicole Duval of Lincoln fhris
tian High School has signed a let
ter-of-intent to join the Nebraska
women’sgymnastics program next
year.
Duval picked Nebraska over
Alabama, Oklahoma, Arizona State
and Penn State. Comhusker coach
Rick Walton called Duval one of
the top gymnasts coming out of
high school in the nation this year.
This year the Husker team had
six freshmen, two sophomores and
two seniors, but will lose top all
arounder Lisa McCrady, who will
compete at the NCAA champion
ships this weekend.
Men’s soccer team loses in shootout
The University of Nebraska
Lincoln men’s soccer team fin
ished second at this weekend’s Big
Eight tournament, the best finish
ever for the UNL club.
UNL won its first four games,
scoring 10 goals and allowing one.
The only defeat came in the final, a
1-0 double-overtime loss to Kan
sas.
The club will participate in the
Lazio Invitational this weekend in
Wichita, Kan.
NU men’s rugby club finishes third
The men’s rugby club of the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
finished third at the Western Col
legiate Championships, losing only
to eventual-champion Wyoming.
The UNL club defeated Arkan
sas 22-0 in the first round of the
eight-team tournament. UNL fell
behind 9-6 to Wyoming in the first
half of the semifinals, and neither
team could score in the second
half.
UNL came back with a 17-6

“We practiced all fall in doubles, because I
knew there would be a match like this that
would come down to doubles,” Hampton said.
“I feel relieved that it paid off.”
The seniors playing their final home match
played a big part in the victory.
Two of them, Nancy Tyggum and Meghan
Quinn, provided the victories in singles. Tyggum
won 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 at No. 3 and Quinn was
victorious 6-4,6-1 at No. 6.
“It feels good finishing up my last home
matches as wins,’’Tyggum said.
Quinn said she has mixed feelings about
leaving.

“I think that our team is one of those five or
six.”
Wichita State is ranked first in the women’s
rankings and sixth in the men’s poll.

and split two games the year before at Wichita
State.
“We’ve always had a history of playing
them pretty well down there,” he said. “But we
can’t let that affect our play tonight.”
After tonight’s doubleheader, Nebraska will
continue its road trip with two more games
Thursday at Missoun-Kansas City. On Friday
and Saturday, the Huskers will play Missouri
and Iowa State twice in Big Eight conference
games.
The road trip will be a “confidence check”
for the Huskers, Wolforth said.
“The quality of a great team is being able to
come back, being resilient,” he said. “With
eight games on the road, especially two Big
Eight games, that’s going to be a test for us.”
Nebraska is 0*2 in the Big Eight, having lost
a pair to nationally ranked Oklahoma State.
I The 10-day layoff caused by the weekend
rain-out is the Huskers’ longest between games
this year. Still, Wolforth said, he doesn’t ex
pect his team to be rusty.
“This marks the end of one milestone and
the start of my life away from tennis,” Quinn
said. “Overall, its been a great experience at
Nebraska.”
The other senior, Ildiko Guba, teamed with
Ann Flannery at No. 2 doubles for a 7-5, 6-4
win.
Other doubles victories came from No. 1
pair Tyggum and Rachel Collins with a 6-1,6
3 score and from Tina Coutretsis and Heidi
Junius at No. 3, 6-3, 6-2.
The Huskers will play at Colorado Saturday
to end the regular season. W ith a victory against
the Buffaloes, Nebraska would finish widi a 4
3 conference record and head into the Big Eight
championships in the top four of the confer
ence.
222 average in 12 games.
Jennifer Wilson led the women with a 12
game 214 average and Kim Berke averaged
204.
Straub said he isn’t worried about the emo
tion of the championships getting to UNL.
“The first couple times we went, everybody
was really excited,” he said. “They’re all ex
cited about going this lime, but now that our
success level has been fairly consistent, they ’re
pretty calm and pretty confident."
“I don’t look at my team and see them as
being burned out yet,” Wolforth said. “Now is
the time of season when you want to peak and
hopefully that’s what we’ll do.”
• Nebraska softball coach Ron Wolforth
went border-hopping and landed two prize
recruits from Iowa.
Pitcher Stephanie Wright and infielder
Saundra Brown, both all-state selections, have
signed letters-of-intent and will become Com
huskers next fall.
Wright, from Dcs Moines, led her team to
the state championship last year. She was 20-5
with a 0.55 earned run average and was named
first-team all-state and Most Valuable Player
of the State Tournament.
“She is a quality player,” Wolforth said.
“After some work with (Husker pitching coach)
Lori Sippel, she has the opportunity to be a
great player.”
Brown, from Council Bluffs, led Under
wood High School to the state tournament last
year. Wolforth said he likes her versatility.
“We see (Brown) as being able to play a
number of different positions, he said. ^Right
now, we have her projected at second base, but
that’s very tenative.
