Women’s golf team to host
Big Eight tourney next week
By Derek Samson
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska women’s golf team
is preparing to be the Big Eight golf
tournament’s host team for the first
time since 1984, and Coach Robin
Krapfl said she hoped it would give
her team an advantage.
“It’s a real thrill to be able to host
it on your home course. It gives the
parents and fans a chance to come out
and watch,” Krapfl said.
The tournament, which will be held
at the Firethom Golf Club Monday
and Tuesday, will feature the sixth
ranked Oklahoma State Cowgirls.
Although Oklahoma Stale will be
the favorite, Krapfl said other Big
Eight teams have a chance.
“Iowa State has been doing very
well lately and Oklahoma has some
what of an emotional edge because
this is the coach’s last tournament,”
Krapfl said.
Oklahoma State is the returning
champion and has won 11 crowns
since 1976. Oklahoma is second with
three and the Comhuskers have two

championships under their belt, with
its last one coming in 1983. Kansas is
the only other Big Eight team to claim
a championship when it won its only
title in 1990.
This year, Krapfl sees her team as
the fourth seed going into the tourna
ment.
“Realistically, we would like to
finish in the top three,” Krapfl said.
“Anything worse than fourth will be a
disappointment and anything better
than fourth 1*11 feel like we have ac
complished our goals.”
Another factor contributing to this
year’s wide-open competition is the
difficulty of the Firethom course,
Krapfl said.
“On this golf course, anything can
happen. It’s a really challenging
course,” she said.
Krapfl said the other Big Eight
teams should enjoy this year’s oppor
tunity.
“I think they’re pleased to just
have the opportunity to play on a golf
course of this caliber,” Krapfl said.
“They appreciate playing a tough
course.”
Nebraska has six of its eight
letterwinners reluming to the tourna
ment from last year’s team that fin
ished seventh.
“(This year) pretty much laid out
like I expected it to. It’s a rebuilding
year,” Krapfl said. “The further along
the season got, the better we became
and I think that’s expected from a
young team.”
Stephanie Hupp, a two-year starter
for Nebraska, is the only senior on this
year’s Husker squad.
Comhuskers hoping for a repeat
of past successes in Des Moines
Meet will involve
5,000 participants

Drake is the destination; track is
the reason.
The Nebraska men’sand women’s
track and field teams will head to the
84th annual Drake Relays in Des
Moines, Iowa, this weekend, hoping
to extend their past successes there.
Drake officials are expecting their
largest crowd ever, and NU coach
Gary Pepin said the goodcrowd, along
with tough competition, made Drake
one of the best meets in the country.
“There is always some outstand
ing open competition,” Pepin said.
“It’s a great meet.”
Pepin said NU learns had done
well at the relays in the past, and that
Husker women’s teams had shone
especially.
“Our women have won more indi
vidual and relay events there than any
school in the country,” Pepin said.
Pepin said the team hoped to make
anothergood showing again this year.
“We’ll be going over to win cham
pionships or improve performances
to get ready for the conference out
door meet,” Pepin said.
The Drake Relays is not a scored
meet, but it will draw 5,000 high
school and college athletes.
Because of the high standards
needed to qualify for Drake, many

Offense key to ending losing
streak, softball coach says
By Tony West
Staff Reporter * __
The Nebraska softball team is searching for
answers to its recent problems.
With the team on a school-record eight
game losing skid, Comhusker coach Rhonda
Revelle has seen her team’s record drop to 11 -
20 overall.
The Huskers haven’t been losing by large
margins; they dropped two games to Wichita
State Wednesday by scores of 7-6 and 4-2.
Nebraska led the first game 4-0 but was unable
to hold on as Wichita State lied the game in the
sixth and won in the seventh.
Revelle said the losses had been frustrating,
and she could offer no quick solutions to put her
team over the hump.
“I don ’ t know if there’s any one key thing we
need to work on that we aren’t working on
now,” she said. “Nothing is going neglected;
we are just falling short.”
Revelle said she had been pleased with her
team’s spirit.
“I lip my hat 10 the players — they are still
slicking in there,” she said. “We need a victory
for morale more than anything else right now.”
The Huskers will get their chance to break
the skid when they face Iowa State in home
doublcheaders Saturday at 1 p.m., and Sunday
at 11 a.m.
Revelle said the games should be close.
“We are pretty evenly matched,” Revelle
said. “And we are both offensive-oriented
teams.”
Revelle said offense may be able to put her
team over the top. She said the Huskers had
proven their offensive capability this season
and that she was positive that her team would
score runs against iowa State.
“We need to focus on attacking and execut
ing offensively,” she said. “When we do dial,
we put runs on the board.”
More than anything, Revelle said her team
needed to execute to break out of its slump,'
“We have to play tough and keep defense
up,” she said. “Hitters also have to come up to
attack and execute."
Surprise! Angels are on a roll
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—California man
ager Buck Rodgers said at one point during
spring training that even a .500 season by his
Angels would be a good year.
The young, bargain-basement Angels have
been the surprise of the AL West so far, battling
for first place in the division.
J.T. Snow and Tim Salmon, both rookies,
and Chad Curtis, Dam ion Easley and Gary
DiSarcina, u’l young players, have led the
Angels’ surprising charge.
“I'm enjoying watching it, just like the
fans,” Rodgers said. ‘‘I think all good things
come to those who hustle and the players on this
club have been hustling their tails off.”
The Angels moved ahead of the Texas Rang
ers to the top of the West by beating the
Cleveland Indians Wednesday night. Califor
nia has proven so far that they can be competi
tive despite having one of the youngest lineups
in the majors.
Snow, acquired in the deal that sent Jim
Abbott to the New York Yankees, is hitting
•372, with four homers and 14 RBis; Salmon is
hitting .278 with three homers and nine RBis.
Curtis is baiting .349, with six RBis and 10
steals; Easley is batting .293 with two homers
and six RBis; and DiSarcina is hitting .267,
with one homer and four RBis.
And those young players are real bargains,
by maior league pay standards: Snow is making
$110,000 this year, Salmon $115,000, Easley
$112,500, Curtis $220,000, and DiSarcina
$265,000.
“I’m still excited to be here,” Snow said. ‘‘I
still have adrenaline pumping before every
game.
‘‘I don’t know what it is wc’rc doing; we’re
just going out and having a good time and
playing hard and having fun. I don’t think we’re
intimidated or in awe of anyone.”
