ing the Jayhawks 11-7 in the first game before
rebounding for a three-point victory. Game two
was also a struggle for the Huskers, as the two
teams exchanged leads until Nebraskaoutscored
Kansas 7-1 to close the game at 15-8.
Nebraska ended the third game and the
match on a kill by Husker setter Nikki Strieker
to win 15-10.
Strieker, who had 46 set assists in the match,
was the key to the Nebraska victory, according
to Begor.
“Nikki Strieker had her best match of the
year and was real dynamic,” Begor said.
Another player who aided in the Husker win
was freshman outside hitter Billie Winsett.
Winsett made her first start as a Husker and had
nine digs in the match.
Other Nebraska players who helped the
Huskers improve their career record to 49-0
against the Jayhawks were seniors Stephanie
Thater and Eileen Shannon.
Thater had a .438 hitting percentage by
registering 19 kills in 32 attacks, while Shan
non added 13 kills of her own in 30 opportuni
ties for a .333 hitting average.
The loss dropped Kansas to 15-7 overall and
1-2 in Big Eight play.
Begor said Nebraska’s w in over the Jayhawks
showed that the Huskers are in a winning
groove.
“We’re playing with a lot of confidence and
we’re on a roll,” Begor said.
Huskers gear up tor Ob U;
Jones returns to practice
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska football team moved inside
Cook Pavillion Wednesday in preparation for
this weekend’s Big Eight opener against Okla
homa Slate.
I-back Calvin Jones, who missed Tuesday’s
practice with a sore hip, relumed to practice
Wednesday and looked good, said Comhuskcr
coach Tom Osborne.
The only new injury of the day came when
junior comerback Marcus Anderson left early
with a sprained ankle.
“We had a goodpractice and got a lot down,”
Osborne said.
Osborne also said that facing Oklahoma
State’s defense would be a suffer task than last
year, when Nebraska rolled up 49 points and
504 yards.
“This will be a better defensive team than we
played last year,” Osborne said. “There’s a lot
of guys with experience in their lineup, they’ve
got more speed and they’ve got some good
junior college players.”
Husker alumni return
for fun-filled weekend
By Nick Hytrek
Senior Reporter
Former Comhuskcr baseball players are
spending this week dusting off old baseball
caps, oiling their gloves and pulling the bats
out of the closet.
On Saturday, the Nebraska alumni base
ball game will kick off a day of alumni
activities for the Huskcr baseball program.
The game will begin at 9 a.m. at Buck
Beltzer Stadium.
“This is a chance for us to bring the past
into the present,” Nebraska baseball coach
John Sanders said. “The guys get together
and relive the past."
A home run hitting contest will be after
the game at 11 a.m. The afternoon will be
spent golfing or attending the Ncbraska
Oklahoma State football game. A banquclat
Schulte Field House will mark the end of the
alumni activities.
Some of the former Huskcrs scheduled to
appear include Bobby Benjamin, who has
the school record for career home runs.
Steve Sjanicck, who is second on the all
time home run list, will also play.
Giving the game a little major league
flavor will be Kip Gross, who spent the past
season pitching for the Los Angeles Dodg
ers. _

Of those who played here more recently,
Shawn Buchanan and Kevin Jordan will
play, as will Mike Zajcski and Tim Seaton,
who both played on last year’s Husker team.
Seaton has since been named an assistant
coach at Nebraska.
There usually isn’t much of a problem to
get former players to return, Sanders said.
“Some have jobs that keep some people
from making it back and others have more
open schedules so they can make it,” he said
Sanders said it was always fun to see who
made it back for the game.
“It’s a mixed-bag situation,” he said.
“We get different people from different
groups. It makes for a nice weekend.”
And fun is what the alumni game is all
about, Sanders said.
“The big purpose is for the guys to get
together, have fun and enjoy each others’
company. It’s certainly a fun weekend, one
we always enjoy."

“Bui il all worked oul that I made
the varsity and ended up starting.”
Tonniges started both her junior
and senior year for Li ncoln East, earn -
ing All-State honors. When colleges
came calling, however, she did not
take long to decide on Nebraska.
“There were quite a few schools
that were contacting me — Big Eight
schools,” she said. “I went on one
other visit to Iowa Stale.
“But then I came here on my sec
ond visit and I had plans to go to
Georgia and some other schools, but
when (Nebraska) offered me the schol
arship, then I accepted.”
Tonniges earned a starting sppt
early in her freshman year and wetol
on to rank second on the team in
blocks per game and earn honorable
mention Big Eight tournament hon
ors. That early success surprised her,
she said.
“Things went really well,” she said.
“It was kind of crazy.
“I was not expecting that sort of
thing — I just came in and did what I
could, and it worked out.”
Besides blocks or kills, one thing
Tonniges said she was working on
this year was being a vocal leader on
the court.
“I guess I feel like I m on the court
to encourage other players, to let them
know they are doing all right,” she
said, “and if they make mistakes, to
let them know that’s all right, we’re
going to get the next one.
“I can’t be quiet. I’m that type of
person — I’ve got to be talking.”
And whether she is psyching up the
team or making a block, Tonnigcs
said she was glad she came to Ne
braska.
“I love playing volleyball, and it’s
awesome to play at Nebraska because
we have such great fan support,” she
said. “You can’t ask for a belter pro
gram.”
