And Comhusker coach John Walker is hoping thatastringofwinswillbcginthis weekend, when his team travels to Missoula, Mont., to face Montana tonight and Arizona on Sunday. But Walker would like to have more time to prepare for his team’s first road trip. The Huskers opened their first season on Tuesday, losing to Creighton before more than 400 fans at Whittier Field. Walker said Creighton was a potential Top 20 team with a lot of experienced players who knew how to capitalize on mistakes. Some crucial mistakes his team made were the difference, he said. And he’s hoping those mistakes don’t happen this weekend. But Klein said the Huskers could pose prob lems for their future opponents. Klein, who is in her first year at Creighton, had nothing but good things to say about the new Nebraska program. She said Nebraska looked “awesome” the first 10 minutes of the game and caused her team to make a lot of adjustments to handle the Huskcr attack. Creighton was coming off a 1-0 win over “They 're gonna surprise a lot . of people. ” ■ CATHY KLEIN Creighton soccer coach preseason No. 12 Wisconsin on Saturday, and Klein said her players were under a lot of pressure, which may have caused them to be a little tight at the beginning. But she gave the Huskcr players credit for being ready to play. The Nebraska players were physical, Klein said, and they had a size advantage over her team. She also said she could tell the Huskers were not intimidated by her Creighton team. Klein said she thought her team beat “a good team” that would score a lot of goals and cause other teams to take notice of it. “They’re gonna surprise a lot of people,” she said. Walker said that while he wasn’t pleased with the result, he was pleased with the players’ elTort. Before the game. Walker said he was con cerned about his team’s abil ity to keep up with the physical-style game for a full 90 minutes, but his players proved they were up to the task. “Overall the girls battled hard,” he said.

Huskers Continued from Page 11 After a Texas Tech punt, it was Phillips’ turn to shine. The sophomore from West Covina, Calif., scored on a 56-yard run, the longest of his career, to give the Huskers a 28-9 lead. Frazier added a 35-yard touchdown pass to tight end Eric Alford early in the fourth quarter to put the game away at 35-9. Both teams added touchdowns in the final seven minutes to close out the scoring. Phillips said the three backs complimented each other well. “They were playing the option, and that opened things up for Tommie,” Phillips said. “Then they started to play Tommie, and that opened up the middle for Cory.” Osborne said Nebraska’s lowest point of the season so far came with just over four minutes left in the third quarter. Starting free safety Mike Minter, the fastest Lawton, Okla., is out for the season. Osborne said the Huskers, who ran for 524 yards on the night and posted 612 total yards of offense, have plenty of room to improve. “We played good football ” he said. “We probably didn’t play inspired football. We weren’t quite as sharp as we should have been. “We arc very mortal, but we have got a long ways to go.” Saving money never sounded so good.
