The Huskers, who finished four points behind Utah’s first place score of 194.1, failed to qualify for the NCAA Champion ships at Salt Lake City April 21-24. Brigham Young Hawkinson was second at 192.825 and Arizona State finished third with a score of 191.875. Coach Dan Kendig said his team was capable of making the NCAA Championships. “I have no excuses,” Kcndig said. “Alotofways we’re disappointed, but the team we put on the floor could have made it.” A bright spot for the Huskcrs was Jennifer Hawkinson, who qualified as the sixth seed in the all-around for the NCAA Championships. Hawkinson finished second in the all-around by scoring 38.725. She scored a team-high 9.825 on the vault, a 9.575 on the uneven bars, a 9.575 on the floor exercise and a 9.750 on the balance beam. “We just fell a little bit short,” Kcndig said. “We kept fighting back. We went in fourth and came out fourth, so things could be worse.” Huskers split with top teams From Staff Reports The Nebraska men’s tennis team spl i t a weekend series w i th t he top two teams in the region. The 6-13 Comhuskcrs lost to Kan sas, the No. 1 team in the region, 7-0 Sunday after beating No. 2 Wichita State 4-3 Saturday.

Nebraska travels toColumbia, Mo., to play Missouri today. Defense Continued from Page 7 The Huskers did not make an error in the three-game series and allowed only eight runs despite walking 20 Golden Eagle hitters in the series. The strongdefensive play has given the Huskers more confidence when they take the field. Sanders said. “The difference between the way we are playing now and the way we played during our slump." Sanders said, “is that now we come to the ballpark thinking we arc going to win.” Jed Dalton, who had six hits in the scries, including a4-for-4 performance on Saturday, said Nebraska’s perfor mance in other aspects of the game were catching up to its defense. ‘‘1 think we arc playing really well as a team right now,” Dalton said. ”We still aren’t executing as well as we could, but we are improving in all areas.” The Huskers pounded out 12 hits in an 8-3 win on Saturday. Matt McKay provided the biggest blow with a two run homer. Dalton also drove in four runs. ftte CHe tit Go to a free screening of ^jSSiiyU Mystery Science Theater 3000, the cable T.V. show that cuts cheesy movies to pieces.
