I Nebraska to defend conference lead
By John Adkisson
Staff Reporter
It has all the trappings of a great
rivalry.
But according to Nebraska volley
ball coach Terry Pettit and Colorado
coach Brad Saindon, this weekend’s
showdown between the Huskers and
Buffaloes is nothing more than a big
match for both teams.
And in the Big Eight, they don’t
get any bigger. Nebraska, alone atop
the conference standings with a 7-0
league mark, will play second-place
(6-1) Colorado Saturday in an 8:30
p.m. (CST) match at the Coors Events
Center in Boulder, Colo.
Pettit, whose team is ranked ninth
by the NCAA, said he doesn’t con
sider the No. 18 Buffs a rival — at
least not yet.
“I don’t think it’s a rivalry,” Pettit
said. ‘‘Almost every year, there’s some
other conference team than Nebraska
ranked in the Top 20, and that be
comes our critical match.”
Saindon agreed.
‘‘It’s not a rivalry because we
haven’t beaten them yet,” he said.
“But we feel that we’ve got a good
chance at playing them a good match
Saturday.” Colorado has won seven
straight matches entering a Friday
match at home against Iowa State.
The Buffs, at 17-6 overall, also ap
pear to be in line for the second NCAA
tournament appearance in the history
of the school.
“That’s one of our goals,” said
Saindon about playing in the NCAAs.
“Our other two are to win a share of
the conference championship and win
the Big Eight Tournament.”
Earlier this season, Nebraska beat
Colorado in three straight games in
Lincoln, the tenth straight Husker win
over the Buffs. Pettit said the key to
that victory was good overall play by
the Huskers.
“We probably played better than
Colorado in most areas of that match,”
Pettit said. “I think if we serve and
pass at the same level as them, we’re
a better team.”
Pettit said the key to winning Sat
urday’s match will be getting setter
Nikki Strieker the ball in good posi
tion.
Colorado will have the services ot
swing hitter Tiffany Jestadt, who sat
out the first Nebraska match this year.
Jestadt was All-Conference as a sopho
more last season.
“I’m sure (Jestadt) will certainly
help them,” Pettit said. “But when we
played them before, we weren’t at
full strength either.”
Saindon said for Colorado to be
successful, the Buffs must play long
points with Nebraska.
“We need to get them into a game
where there is a lot of rallying, a lot of
transition,” Saindon said. “I think we’re
a good enough defensive team to play
well in a match like that.”
Saindon said that there has been
“tremendous excitement” on the
Colorado campus about the match.
“I’m sure Nebraska will come into
this match fully expecting to win,”
Saindon said. “But for us, this is for a
potential share of the conference
championship. We’ve been prepared
for a long time.”
Hu skers mu st overcome youth, coach says
By Thomas Clouse
Staff Reporter
Nebraska women’s swimming and
diving coach Ray Huppert said his
team has to overcome youth and lack
of depth to repeat as the Big Eight
champions.
Huppert said the team lost seven
swimmers from last year’s squad and
only returns tw o seniors, five juniors
and 10 sophomores.
“We have a lot of new young blood,”
Huppert said. “We need to give them
an opportunity to show what they can
do.”
Depth is a question with only 20
swimmers, which is “as small a team
as we’ve had in a long time,” he said.
“We are not lacking quality, just
lacking experience,” Huppert said.
The young team will gel its first
competition Saturday against Iowa at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center pool.
Huppert said he expects a strong
challenge from Iowa.
“I don’t know if we can beat them
this early in the season,” he said. “We
need to sec how our young swimmers
react to the situation.”
Cal Bentz, coach of the Nebraska
men’s swimming and diving team,
said his Comhuskers should have a
good chance to repeat as the Big
Eight champions and improve on their
32nd finish in the NCAA champion
ship.
“We have a good mix with a lot of
returning talent and tenacious young
swimmers,” Bentz said.
The men’s squad also opens its
season against a group of Midwestern
teams this weekend here at the Great
Pumpkin Classic.
“It will be a good opportunity for
our guys to see what they can do in a
meet situation,” Bentz said.

Huskers

Missouri’s offensive line averages
291 pounds per man.
“They’re big but we like that,”
Licwer said. “Anymore, everybody’s
big, so we’re pretty comfortable going
against them.”
Nebraska’s offense is comfortable
with what it will do Saturday, tight
end Johnny Mitchell said.
Mitchell said he expects a high
scoring game and high yardage out
put against the Tigers, who rank 102nd
nationally and last in the Big Eight
defensively.
“We’re going to try and capitalize
on the mistakes we made last Satur
day,” he said.
Alberts said he hopes the Huskers
don’t make loo many mistakes when
Missouri has the ball.
“We know what we’ve got to do,”
Alberts said. “It’s just a matter of
doing it. We’ve got to pin our cars
back and do it.”
Tigers

total defense, allowing 482 yards I
per game. Add to that the fact
that Nebraska’s offense leads the
conference, and Stull is worried.
“There’s no doubt we’re going
to give up some points on Satur
day,” he said. “The question is,
can our offense answer their scores
with scores of our own?”
Last season, the Tigers passed
for 325 yards but turned the ball
over five times, stalling poten
tial scoring drives and giving the
Huskers good field position for
their drives. Nebraska won 69
21.
“If we play the way we did
last year, the outcome won’t be
much belter than it was then,”
Stull said. “It might not be even
if we play well. But I’d much
rather gel beat badly playing well
than to lose a poorly played game
and wonder what could have
been.”
