Kansas, 1-1 in dual competition, is

Kansas has defeated Missouri, 157

Southern Methodist, 136-105, and has
beaten Texas Christian, 138-103, last

The Huskers need to get focused

beat the talented Kansas team, Bentz

Women’s coach Ray Huppert said
Nebraska would match up against Kan

son.
“These are two excellent teams,”
Huppert said. “It’s good to have this
meet when both teams are swimming
at more of a peak performance.”
The Kansas-Nebraska dual nor
mally is scheduled in February, but it
was moved up this year to compen
sate for an earlier Big Eight tourna
ment and the Olympic trials, Huppert
said.
Although Kansas is a conference
opponent, this meet will not have a
bearing on the Big Eight champion
ship, he said. The conference meet
will determine the title.

Revenge is on the minds of some
of the Nebraska men’s tennis players
this weekend.
Nebraska will compete in the
Midwest Regional ITCA Team Tour
nament in Dcs Moines, Iowa, this
weekend, beginning today against
Kansas. The Huskers lost to Kansas at
the same tournament in 1989, when
the Jayhawks defeated Nebraska 5-4
in the finals.
Kansas got the best of the Huskers
last year, too, when the Jayhawks
came to Lincoln and left town with a
7-2 win and the conference title.
Nebraska Coach Kerry McDermott
said that if the Huskers don’t give
their all against Kansas, Nebraska’s
woes against the Jayhawks will con
tinue for at least another year.
“I want our guys to go in there and
fight to the death,” he said. “If we
give less than our 100 percent, we
won’t win.”
The Midwest’s top six teams will
compete in the tournament. Along
with Kansas, the Huskers will have to
battle Big Eight rivals Colorado and
Iowa Stale, as well as Missouri Val
ley Conference powers Drake and
Wichita State.
McDermott said this is the most
important tournament Nebraska will
play in all year for many reasons.
“The regional team rankings will
be based on this weekend’s tourney,”
he said. “The tourney will also give
everybody a good idea of who the
teams are to beat in the region.”
McDermott said all of his players
arc going to have to be at the top of
their games in order for the Huskcrs
to come away with the team title.
“We’ll have to produce to win,” he
said. “We’re going to have to excel at
each spot, and if we do that, we’ll be
in the thick of things at the end.”
Three freshmen have stepped in to
take over three singles positions. One
of those freshmen, No. 5 singles player
Chris Nielsen, will not be making the
trip because of a wrist injury, but
Mike Garcia and Andy Davis will be
playing in their first collegiate team
match.
“This will be a good tournament to
lest the new freshmen,” McDermott
said. “This weekend will give me a
good idea of how team-oriented the
freshmen actually arc.”
The winner of this weekend’s tour
nament will compete in the national
team championships in February at
Louisville, Ky. This weekend’s tour
nament is Nebraska’s last competi
tion until spring.

ords have no reflection in the champi
onship meet.”
He said the divers, coached by Jim
Hocking, have been a strength for
Nebraska.
“Coach Hocking has done a great
job and he has some fine athletes,”
Huppert said.
Nebraska should also be strong in
the distance free with Michelle Butcher,
two-time Big Eight swimmer of the
year, he said.
“We need to make big strides for
ward in other events to be competi
tive this early,” Huppert said.
The women’s team is 1-2 with
loses coming to Iowa 154-145 and to
Brigham Young 155-145, and a 181
110 win against Utah last week.
left its mistakes from the first half of
last week’s Colorado game behind.
Nebraska gained less than 100 yards
against the Buffaloes in the first half.
“We have a positive attitude be
cause we feel we played well in the
fourth quarter against Colorado,”
Turner said. “We moved the ball when
we had to.”
But the Huskers may have a hard
time rushing this week. Kansas ranks
second in the conference and 22nd in
the country against the run.
“They have a big, physical, defen
sive line so we’re not going to be able
to run the ball as much,” Turner said.
