Season-opener invite nets
wins for women’s tennis
By Tony W—t
Staff Reporter
After winning eight of nine
first-round matches, the Nebraska
women's tennis team outlasted the
weekend weather and started the
fall season off on the right foot.
Nebraska played host to a
seven-team field at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center and Woods
Tennis Complex this weekend at
the Husker Invitational. The meet
was originally scheduled to be
played at the Cather-Pound tennis
courts.
The competition included con
ference rival Iowa State, Drake,
Texas Tech, Baylor, Creighton and
Wichita State.
The Cornhuskers looked im
pressive, Nebraska coach Scott
Jacobson said. No team scoring
was kept, however.
"I think it’s the best start we
have ever had," he said.
Nebraska junior Michelle
Waldhauser said everyone on the
team was looking forward to the
fall season.
“I think everyone seemed pretty
satisfied with the weekend," she
said.
Individually, the Huskers’ only
freshman, Lisa Hart, finished first
in No. 3 singles by defeating Sa
rah Chester of Baylor 6-2, 6-2.
Hart also teamed up with sopho
more Annie Yang to take third
place in the No. I doubles bracket.
Yang, playing No. I singles,
and Cathy Liptak, playing No. 2
singles, both finished third for the
Huskers in their respective brack
ets. Liptak and senior Jane Startin
finished third in No. 2 doubles.
Waldhauser, who finished
fourth in the No. 3 doubles bracket
with senior Frauke Hachtmann,
said this start could also lead to the
team’s improved Big Eight finish
this season. The Huskers finished
fourth in conference play last sea
son.
“I think we should be stronger
this year," she said. “And I think
we definitely have a chance at fin
ishing in the top three of the con
ference this season."

Phillips led the Husker running
attack with 138 yards on only nine
carries, while Berringer led the
passers by completing eight of 15
passes for 120 yards.
“Overall, we had a pretty good
week of practice, and the intensity for
a game of this nature was good,"
Osborne said. “We got it over with.
That’s what we tried to do.**

Miracle pass answers CU plea
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
This is Kordell Stewart’s final sea
son at Colorado, and so far he has
made it one to remember.
Especially after leading the Buf
faloes to a miracle win over Michi
gan.
Colorado has made a habit out of
pulling the rabbit out of the hat at the
last second, and the Buffaloes did it
again Saturday with no time left to
beat No. 7 Michigan.
The fifth-ranked Buffs were be
hind 26-21 with less than a minute
left when they got the ball back. They
were 64 yards away when Stewart
dropped back and waited ... and
waited ... and waited ... as the clock
ticked past zero.
Nobody was open, so Stewart
heaved the ball into the end zone.
A crowd of Wolverines and Buffs
converged on the ball. A Michigan
player tipped the ball, and Michael
Westbrook came in from the left side
of the end zone to pluck it out of the
air for the winning touchdown in a
27-26 victory.
r
“Only a guy like Kordeil could
throw it that far and stay alive until
we could get down there,” Colorado
coach Bill McCartney said.
Westbrook said catching the pass
was more than words could describe.
“I have never had a feeling like
this in my life,” said Westbrook, a
Detroit native whose parents and
high school coach were part of the
sellout crowd.
Wolverine safety Chuck Winters
tipped the ball into the air, and the
ball landed in Westbrook’s arms.
“I did all I could do,” Winters said.
“I tried to knock the ball down, but it
just bounced up.”
Colorado, 3-0, lost an on-side kick
after scoring to make it 26-21. The
Buffs held the Wolverines and got the
ball back on their 13 with 15 seconds
left.
“It’s a sad way to lose a game, but
nobody’s supposed to give you a win,”
Wolverines coach Gary Moeller said.
“You have to earn it yourself, and
you have to play every play.”
In other Big Eight games, No. 23
Kansas State shut out Minnesota 35
0, and Kansas whitewashed fledgling
Alabama-Birmingham 72-0. Okla
homa State defeated Tulsa 17-10, and
Iowa State lost to Rice 28-18. Iowa
State went 0-4 for the first time since
1987 and lost its sixth game in a row.
J.J. Smith rushed for 137 yards
and Chad May threw for three touch
downs before a record crowd for a
non-conference game at Kansas State
as the Wildcats went to 3-0.
“Mentally, it was my best game of
the year,” May said. “We just knew
the mistakes we made last week and
corrected them.”
Kansas needed a game and Ala
bama-Birmingham needed money as
it tries to develop a Division l-A pro
gram. So the Blazers traveled to
Lawrence to absorb a pounding.
“There’s not much you can say
when you get beat 72-0,” said Blaz
ers coach Jim Hilyer. “I thought we
played pretty hard. At times I thought
we stopped them pretty well. I’m
embarrassed about the score, but I’m
not embarrassed about my players.”
