NU hopes weekend brings wins

After starting the Big Eight season
1-4, Nebraska women’s basketball
coach Angela Beck can see some light
at the end of the tunnel.
o w sports center.
Dec* Nebraska faces
Oklahoma tonight at 9 p.m. and will
meet Oklahoma State Sunday at 2
p.m.
Beck said her team was in the
position she expected after the diffi
cult start.
“The way the schedule is set up is
that early it was going to be tough for
us,” she said. “I knew if we could
tough that part out that we’d be there
down the stretch. We’re excited about
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. We
felt we could’ve beaten them at their

places.”
Nebraska was swept in its first
meeting with the Oklahoma teams,
losing 67-56 to Oklahoma State and
79-78 on a last second free throw to
Oklahoma.
Beck said Nebraska is a much dif
ferent team than what Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State saw in the first meet
ings.
“The pieces in the puzzle have
pretty much come together,” she said.
“We just need to get (Tina) McClain
and (Pyra) Aarden more involved. I
think it looks pretty good right now.”
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are
each tied for third in the conference at
4-3, while Nebraska is right behind at
3-4. However, the Sooners and Cow
girls have a combined road record of
2-10 and neither has won a Big Eight
game on the road.
Beck said a sweep this weekend
could give the Huskers a firm grasp on
third place behind Kansas and Colo
rado.
“The real race is who is going to be
third,” Beck said. “That’s what I’m
concentrating on. We’re set up pretty
good down the stretch as far as our
schedule is concerned.”
With only five games remaining
after this weekend, Beck said, Ne
braska cannot afford to miss any op
portunities.
“Down the wire, it’s all make-or
break games,” she said. “It has to do
with being at the top or at the bottom
of the league. Our attitude now is that
we can beat everybody. I think our
defense is solid enough.”
Beck said Nebraska will face a
tough test because Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State will also have a lot at
stake.
“There are only two games sepa
rating about five or six teams right
now,” she said. “It’s going to be pretty
challenging down the stretch. I have
confidence we’ll meet the challenge.”

begin at 9:30 a.m., and running events
start at noon.
Pepin said his team was looking
forward to competing in one of the
country’s biggest meets.
“We’re in for a battle in this meet,”
he said. “This competition could be
better than what we’ll see at the na
tional championships.”
The second-ranked Husker women
will be looking to knock off Illinois,
the top-ranked team in the country.
Last year at Champaign, 111., both the
Illini men and women beat the Husk
ers.
The Nebraska men will be looking
to build on last week’s success. Last
weekend at the Sooner Indoor meet in
Oklahoma City and at the University
of Nebraksa at Kearney Open, two
Huskers provisionally qualified for
the NCAA championships.
Freshman Mark Graham ran a
qualifying time of 47.69 seconds in
the 400-meter run, and Paul Morrison
won the 35-pound weight throw with
a toss of 61-3. The mark set a new
UNK. Open meet record.
The Arkansas men have won the
previous 10 NCAA indoor champion
ships. They are led by Erick Walder,
one of the best Ions and triple jumpers
in the country. He nas won six ofeight
indoor and outdoor national champi
onships during the past two years.
The Razorbacks also return NCAA
ou tdoor champion CalvinDavis. Davis
won the 400-meter dash at last year’s
championships in New Orleans.
“It's a really big deal,” Pepin said.
Husker named Big Eight swimmer of month
From Staff Roports
Nebraska’s Melanie Dodd was
named the Big Eight Conference’s
women’s swimmer-of-the-month for
January.
Dodd, a sophomore, finished no
lower than third in her freestyle com
petitions last month to help the Husk
ers to a 4-1 record. Dodd currently
holds the best times in the conference
in the 50-, 100- and 200-meter freestyle
events this year.
She recorded a national qualifying
time in the 200 freestyle with a school
record 1:48.29.
“Melanie is a top-notch competi
tor,” Coach Cal Bentz said. “She is a
tough and extremely talented per
former, and she cont inues to i mprove. ”

ranked No. 21 in the nation, take this

Huskers to take show on road
By Mitch Sherman
Staff Reporter
After enjoying two consecutive
wins at home before enthusiastic
crowds at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center, the women’s gymnastics team
will take its show on the road this
weekend.
The women take on 2-1 Big Eight
rival Oklahoma in Norman, on Sun
day at 2 p.m.
In its only meeting with the
Comhuskers last season, the Sooners
won the Big Eight Championships
with a score of 194.45. Nebraska fin
ished second in the meet with 193.30
points.
“They beat us down there last year,”
coach Dan Kendig said, “so the girls
were talking about that a little bit this
week. It’s a meet that is important to
us because it gives us the upper hand
in the Big Eight race if we can win.”
Kendig said the Sooners have been
hurt by injuries this season.
“More than anything else, they’ve
had bad luck with injuries,” he said.
“Their scores haven't been that im
pressive, but scores don ’ t always mean
that much. If you looked at our score
in the first meet, you wouldn’t have
thought we were as good as we are.”
The 3-0 Huskers have been led this
season by Joy Taylor. The sophomore
from New Palestine, Ind., has cap
tured the all-around title in each of tne
last two meets. Junior Nicole Duval
and freshmen Kim DeHaan and
Shelley Bartlett have also competed
in the all-around for Nebraska.
Kendig said the all-around lineup
would remain the same for Sunday’s
meet.
NOTE:
• Jason Christie will be the lone rep
resentative from the men’s team at the
United States Winter Cup Challenge
in Colorado Springs, Colo., over the
weekend.
The sophomore from Lincoln
qualified by totaling a score of 103.20
in two rounds of competition at the
Rocky Mountain Invitational on Nov.
27.
Fellow Huskers Richard Grace and
Rick KiefTer were scheduled to com
pete in the Winter Cup Challenge, but
will be forced to stay home because of
injuries. The top eight finishers at the
Winter CupChallenge will qualify for
the U.S. Senior National Team. The
3-0 Huskers return to action Feb. 12 at
Minnesota.
