Brand Continued from Page 7 an excellent defensive player and a good passer, and she’s made the ad justment to the college game.” Brand previously played on the Australian National Team before com ing to Nebraska. The 5-foot-9-inch outside hitter said a friend who played volleyball at Florida State recommended that she leave Australia and test the college volleyball waters in the United States. “1 heard through the grapevine that there was this opportunity,” Brand said. “1 wanted to go to a good school and not an average volleyball school.” Brand said she had seen a lot of differences between Nebraska and her hometown of Adelaide, Australia. “There’s no ocean here, so I feel very claustrophobic,” Brand said. “But the people here arc really friendly and really nice.” Brand competed in 22 of Nebraska’s 32 matches last year and helped the Huskcrs to a 27-5 .record and a trip to the NCAA Midcast Re gional. Brand has also been honored on the Phillips 66 Academic All-Big Eight honorable mention list as well as on the Big Eight Academic Honor Roll as an exercise science major. She said she and the team had set higher goals for this year. “I’d like in my final year to win a national championship because we’ve been so close,” she said. This year’s team has the ability to bring home a national title from December’s NCAA Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., she said. “We need to play as a team and be competitive rather than expect to win just because we’re Nebraska,” Brand said. _ Ml 11 . • Cassettes $6.77 CD's $10.77 Prices effective through 9*10*92 Hi-Five "Keep It Goin' On" Buy it-Try it 434-2500 6105 *0* St 434-2510 _ _ - _ _ ■ m 434-2520 vaiiorcmteGu!

Cone, who is 13-7 with a 2.88 ERA, leads the National League in strikeouts with 214 and has five shut outs. The All-Star has led the league in strikeouts for the last two years and has a career record of 80-48 with a 3.13 ERA. Kent, 24, is a rookie who plays second and third base. He’s hitting .240 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs in 65 games. Cone, one of the few bright spots for the Mcts in a disappointing sea son, becomes a free agent after the season. With his success this year, Cone’s contract demands would prob ably place hiip among the top paid pitchers, or in the $4 million-per-ycar range.
