A familiar face is once again part
of the Nebraska volleyball team.
Val Novak, an All-American for the
Comhuskers in 1989 and 1990,
rejoined the team over the summer.
This time, however, Novak will
see the NU Coliseum floor only from
the sidelines, as a coach.
Novak joins the coaching staff as
interim assistant coach, replacing two
year assistant Brian Begor, who left
Nebraska for the University of
Pittsburgh.
“It was important to find the best
coach possible, and to find someone
who was familiar with the program,”
Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit
said.
Pettit said Novak had primarily
worked with the setters and right-side
players, such as Nikki Strieker, Christy
Johnson, Stephanie Clerc and Kelly
Aspegren.
Novak said she brought a lot of
knowledge to the team, especially the
setters.
“I know what it’s like to be
frustrated as a setter and to be a winner
as a setter,” she said. “I would like to

Novak said coaching was a lot
tougher than performing on the court.
<7It is a lot more mentally fatiguing
than playing was,” Novak said. “But
I really enjoy it.”
When the job opened up, Novak
said she already had a job lined up as
a substitute teacher and as assistant
volleyball coach at Papill ion-La Vista
High School, under Gwen Egbert,
another former NU player.
Novak said becoming a coach had
given her the opportunity to gain a
higher understanding of the game.
But that isn’t her only reward, she
said.
“It makes you feel good when you
do something to help the team and it
works,” she said. “That’s just one of
the thrills of coaching.”

resident students must be financially responsible to reside in this country. The UNL policy requires mandatory insurance for International Students
These students are required to show proof of private coverage or be billed automatically on their tuition statements for Student Insurance.
The coverage dates for International Students is 8/12/93 thru 8/11/94.
Enrollment is open for Domestic students and ALL dependents until 9/23/93. If you have not enrolled in the Student Insurance program by then,
you must wait until Spring Semester begins 1/9/94.
THE STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO COME TO UNIVERSITY HEALTH CENTER WHENEVER POSSIBLE. Sorry, we can only treat students,
no dependents pleas*!
