Outreach
Continued from Page 7
A total of 33 Huskcr athletes and
22 Golden Key members will go to
schools speaking to students about
the importance of education, academic
motivation, goal-setting and overcom
ing adversity.
Zimmer said by putting the two
groups together, it gives young people
a chance to look at the athletes and at
• the Golden Key members as role
models.
Outside linebacker Trev Alberts
said the outreach program also allows
the student-athlete to gain confidence
and allows others to see there is more
to just playing sports.
“If we can get out there and show
teachers and kids that we do care,
then it is worthwhile,” he said. “A lot
of people don’t really know what is
included in our lives other than what
we do on Saturdays, and basically,
that’s the smallest part of our lives.”

National title last step for Nebraska
The annual talk of a national cham
pionship is floating around on cam
pus.
No, it’s not coming from Memo
rial Stadium this year.
Men’s gymnastics doesn’t deter
mine its national champion until spring,
so Francis Allen will have to wait a
few more months to answer questions
about how it feels to win his eighth
national title.
Next year when volleyball coach
Terry Pettit and his team move back
into the newly renovated Coliseum,
there just might be a national champi
onship banner to hang from the raf
ters.
As of late, Pettit has his team play
ing as well as any in the country.
Since losing three straight matches
early in the season, the Cornhuskers
have gone on a tear, winning 15 straight
with only three matches lasting more
than three games.
Should Nebraska come away with
one or even two wins this weekend
against top-five Pacific, the Huskers
have to be considered the favorite for
the national championship. Since late
September Nebraska has been simply
dominant.
Nick
Hytrek
After routing a then higher-ranked
Texas team on its home court, Pettit
said he thought Nebraska might be
playing the type of volleyball that
would win the national champion
ship; it was just a matter of staying
consistent and focused.
Nebraska has been to the Final
Four for the past two years now and
the players are tired Qf coming back
without the prize. This year’s team
has shown the hunger, desire and, in
most eases, the consistency it lakes to
go all the way.
It also has more than enough talent
to win.

Stephanie Thaler and Janet Kruse,
Pettit has a three-pronged attack to
terrorize opposing teams with.
After Kruse went down with an
ankle injury in the season opener,
Thaler raised her performance to an
All-American level, making up for
Kruse’s absence.
Since Kruse’s return to the lineup,
Nebraska has lost only once, and that
was Kruse’s first match back. During
a four-match stretch, Kruse averaged
more than 20 kills a match, including
23 in the win against Texas. It’s not
just coincidence that Nebraska’s
winning streak began at the same
lime Kruse returned.
Hall has been steady all season.
Whenever there’s a big turning point
in a match, it seems Hall is involved,
whether it’s making an important kill
or serving up a rally.
The emergence of Nikki Strieker
as Nebraska’s next great setter also
has the Huskers looking tough.
Add in Eileen Shannon, who, like
Hall, always raises her play in the big
matches, and Kim Tonniges, a fresh
man who plays with the confidence of
senior, Nebraska’s starting lineup is
as solid as they come.
Overall tournament experience is
in Nebraska’s favor also. Thaler, Kruse,
Hall and Shannon played in two Final
Fours already, and Strieker in one.
Nebraska also has played in two
competitive non-conference tourna
ments and the Big Eight tournament
could be the most competitive in recent
years.
Just by watching this year’s team
develop throughout the season, it’s
obvious that this is a team on a mis
sion. Thiscrcw is tired of just making
it to the Final Four and they want to
lake that last step.
Come Dee. 21, Pettit should have
a bigger smile on his face than when
his team is thrashing Big Eight oppo
nents. After all, he’ll have just coached
his first national championship team.
