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.”

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.
