Softball team looks to sweep UMKC
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
The Nebraska softball team has
lost 21 times this year.
Sixteen of those losses have come
at the hands of an opponent ranked in

all over the oppor
tunity of playing a weaker opponent.
“We’ve played a very tough sched
ule, and had we not played so many
rated teams, our record certainly
wouldn’t be what it is,” Revelle said.
NU baseball team
sweeps Wildcats
From Stall Reports
The Nebraska baseball team
took both ends ofa doublehcader
from Kansas State at Manhat
tan, Kan., Wednesday.
The Huskers, 21-16, ex
ploded for 29 total runs as they
beat Kansas State 14-4 and 15
1.
David Crain belted two home
runs in the first game.
“These two arc extremely important.
It’s an opportunity that we feel like we
should, and we can, get a sweep. Any
thing less than a sweep will be a
disappointment.”
The Huskers don’t just need a
sweep, Rcvelle said. They need to
develop a different attitude.
“We need to have a little more of a
killer instinct,” Revelle said. “When
you have someone on the ropes, you
have to put them away. When you’re
down, you have to fight, scratch and
claw your way to get back up.
“Having that kind of intensity is
something where we’ve been slip
ping. Hopefully, we can change that.”
Nebraska’s contest with UMK.C
also will serve as a warm-up for the
Huskers’ four games with third-ranked
Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.
Revelle said tonight’s games took
on an added importance after
Monday’s doublehcader with
Creighton was rained out.
I ininK 11 S really uuyuiiaui wiai
we get these games in,” she said.
“First of all, I don’t want to go a whole
week without playing and then have
to go to Oklahoma State. Secondly, I
think that we definitely have the edge
(against UMKC), and at this point we
need to get some wins.”
Revclle said she hoped her team
received its wake-up call last week
against Northern Iowa, another team
the Huskcrs were expected to sweep.
After rolling to a 8-0 victory in the
first game, Nebraska was creamed 7
0 in the second game and was denied
the sweep.
“I think this is similar to Northern
Iowa, but if you look at our roster you
see how young wc are,” Revelle said.
“If you look at the fact that Melanie
(Raimondi), a freshman, has pitched
in 24 of our 34 games, you see how
young we arc. There are a lot of expe
riences we’ve gone through, and hope
fully, we’ve learned from them.”

all have missed some practice time
because of injuries.
Veland, who has yet to practice
this spring while he rehabilitates his
knee, said he wanted to concentrate
on the safety position. But if prodded,
he said he might consider returning to
quarterback.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 200-poundcr
from Omaha Benson has a pretty good
idea of what it will take to satisfy him
this season.
“Number one — I have to stay
healthy.” he said. “Number two— 1
have to start. And number three — 1
have to perform well and play to my
potential. If those things happen. I’ll
be happy.”
When counting his injuries at Ne
braska, Veland had to pause for a
moment before beginning.
Veland has been hampered by
ankle, elbow and shoulder injuries, a
broken collarbone, a tom patellar ten
don, tendinitis in both knees and a
groin pull.
“They say that injuries build char
acter,” he said. “Well, if that’s true, I
feel like I’m a pretty strong person by
