“Oklahoma played great.”
Annie Yang, Nebraska’s No. 1 sin
gles player, was the only Husker to
win during the two days. On Saturday,
Yang defeated Oklahoma State’s
Mercedes Fernandez 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.
Fernandez is one of the top 10 players
in the region, Jacobson said.

lost to Oklahoma State’s Jacqui
Gunthrop in straight sets 7-6, 6-3.
April Yarmus lost a lough three-set

player Jane Startin lost to Nadia Vitcls
6-3, 6-1.
The Cowgirls also swept the dou
bles competition.
Jacobson said he was surprised that
his team performed belter on Saturday
than Sunday.
“Usually, in a dual type of compe
tition, you usually play better the sec
ond dawSJacobson said. “But that
couldhavenecnbccauseoflhe compe
tition.
The Huskers were swept Sunday by
Oklahoma.
Yang, who dropped to 8-4 on the
season, lost in straight sets 6-2, 6-2.
Liptak, 6-7, lost 6-2,6-3 in her No. 2
singles spot.
Yarmus, 9-4, lost to Oklahoma’s
Brandi Swan in No. 3 singles, 6-3,6

Slartin, 6-1,6-2.
Oklahoma also swept the doubles
competition.
Despite the two losses, Jacobson
said, he expects the Huskers to bounce
back.
“The mam thing is to make progress
every week,” he said, “All you can ask
for is 100 percent effort.”

drive,” he said. “Overall, it was a good
scrimmage.”

opening series and scored on fullback
Cory Schlcsingcr’s 15-yard touch
