Husker soitball team wants out of the cellar By Derek Samson Senior Reporter Nebraska softball coach Rhonda RcvClle has a tough task on her hands. Pumpinguphcr2l-29Comhuskers is a problem at this point in the season, she said. r-“You’re tryingto look for rcasons,to keep the teafn motivated,” Rcvcllc said. “We’re not play ing for any cham pionships or 1 postseason. With summer and finals coming up, it’s Revelle hard for them to stay focused But Revelle said she didn’t have to look any further for motivation than the Huskers’ position in the confer ence. The Huskers want out of last place, she said, and they have eight confer ence games left to accomplish that. “Now, we’re trying to accomplish personal challenges and minigoals,” she said. “One of our big things is we don’t want to finish in the cellar. That’s why this weekend is so impor tant.” Improving the Huskers’ 1-11 Big Eight record won’t be easy against the 38-18 Tigers, who are third in the conference. “Ideally, we want to gel three out of four, but I’d be happy with a split,” Revelle said. “Missouri is playing re ally well. I feel like we’re going into Missouri feeling like we have great odds. We beat them three out of four last year, and the teams arc basically the same.” The Huskers arc coming off of a doublchcadcr sweep of Creighton on -44 You’re trying to look for reasons to keep the team motivated. We’re not playing for any championships or postseason. With summer and finals coming up, it’s hard for them to stay focused. — Revelle Nil softball coach -ft - Monday. Missouri, 8-8 in conference play, won three out of four last weekend against seventh-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers’ hard-nosed style of play concerns Revelle. “They’re real steady on the mound,” Revelle said. “They aren’t All-Amer ican, but they’re extremely steady and consistent. The thing that we’re really going to have to be aware of is their aggressiveness. “They run wild. They force the defense to make the plays.” But the Huskers can’t worry about their opponent or where they’re play ing, Revelle said. “What I think takes a lot out of a team is the third straight weekend on the road,” she said. “We goon our Big Eight weekends, and we get thumped pretty good. “We just can’t place that much importance on Missouri and what they’re doing. We have to do our part and focus on the task at hand.” Jon Waller/DN Nebraska assistant coach Paul Meyers argues with two umpires during the Comhuskers’ weekend series against Kansas. The Husker baseball team, coming off a doubleheader sweep over Missouri on Wednesday, will have to wait anotner week to take the field after its game with Creighton was rained out Thursday.
