I Brown, Kubik lead Huskerstowin
By Pewk tunton
Senior Reporter
It didn’t look like junior
Roquayyah Brown and freshman Jami
Kubik were playing their first game
for the Nebraska women’s basketball
team in the Comhuskers’ 84-70 exhi
bition win over Athletes in Action
Wednesday.
Then again, the two newcomers
aren’t total strangers to the Bob
Devaney Sports Center.
Kubik, who hit 3-of-4 3-point at
tempts on her way to a 15-point per
formance, led Cambridge to the Class
C-2 state championship in 1993 and
1994.
Brown, who finished with 17
points and seven rebounds, is the
sister of 1993-94 Big Eight scoring
and rebounder leader and former
Husker Nafeesah Brown.
Nebraska coach Angela Beck said
she was more surprised by Kubik’s
performance.
“Jami showed why she led Cam
bridge to those championships,” Beck
said. “She’s a competitor and a very
hard worker. She plays with a lot of
intensity. I really didn’t think she
would be as solid as she was. I thought
Brown would. She’s pretty steady.”
The fact that this was the Huskers’
first action of the season showed early
as the Huskers trailed 32-29 at half
time.
Despite the sluggish play, the
Huskers never trailed until Vicki
“jami showed why she led Cambridge to those
championships. She’s a competitor and a very hard
worker."

ANGELA BECK
Nebraska coach
Link’s basket put Athletes in Action
on top 28-27 with 1:31 remaining in
the first half.
The lead didn’t last long for Ath
letes in Action, as Nebraska regained
it less than two minutes into the sec
ond half and never trailed again.
Chris Dillavou, who also contrib
uted 15 points on the night, scored
Nebraska’s first seven points of the
second half as the Huskers went on a
15-2 run to start the half.
“They are good players that played
for good schools,” Beck said. “But I
don’t feel like they could match our
conditioning. I think we came out
pretty strong.”
But it was Nebraska center Pyra
Aarden that controlled the second
half.
The 6-foot-4 junior scored 15
points in the second half and finished
with a game-high 20 points and 10
rebounds.
Aarden, Brown, Dillavou and
Kubik combined for 67 points, which
helped Beck forget about the injury
bug that has hit her team.
“Pyra Aarden showed she’ll be
pretty solid,” Beck said. “I really saw
a developed Pyra Aarden tonight. I
feel pretty good about tonight. I think
we sent a message that we can score
some points without some players.
Everybody kind of complimented
each other tonight.”
The victory may have answered
Beck’s questions about who will fill
the void left by the departure of last
year’s senior leaders — Meggan
Yedsena and Nafeesah Brown.
“We had three goals tonight —
No. 1 to show unity, No. 2 to play
hard and No. 3 to play smart,” Beck
said. “1 didn’t say anything about
winning, but we always play to win.
I didn’t know how we would per
form.
“I’m kind of excited. There isn’t a
specific go-to player, and I think that
maybe loosened the players up a little
bit.”
Alberts’ arm recovering;
early return anticipated
INDIANAPOLIS (AP>—Line
backer Trev Alberts, a first-round
draft pick out of Nebraska who
was injured in the Indianapolis
Colts’ preseason opener three
months ago, may be only weeks
away from his NFL debut.
Alberts, the Nebraska All
American who was the fifth player
picked in the draft, dislocated his
right elbow Aug. 5 against Seattle
and underwent surgery that was
expected to keep him out the entire
season.
But his rehabilitation has pro
gressed better than anyone thought
possible, coach Ted Marchibroda
said.
“The doctor told him he should
probably stay off it for another two
weeks, but then he can begin prac
ticingatthattime,”theColts’ coach
said. “We view this as very posi
tive news.
‘‘Trev has been wanting to get
back out there, and our stance has
been to wait until he received medi
cal clearance. I think it would be
good for him if he could get on the
field this season.”
Alberts met with orthopedic sur
geon Dr. Frank Jobe on Monday in
Los Angeles and was advised to
follow a cautious rehabilitation
regimen for the next two weeks.
The 6-foot-4 linebacker from
Cedar Falls, Iowa, has been an
analyst for the ESPN2 network
while he has been out.
The Colts, 4-5 on the season,
play at Miami on Sunday and have
the next week off after that. If all
goes well, Alberts could begin prac
ticing the week before the Colts
play at Cincinnati and could be
ready to play by the Dec. 4 game at
Seattle.

Streak
Continued from Page 7
Huskers have gone 10-0 at home and
are 12-0 away from the NU Coli
seum.
In that 22-match span Nebraska
has lost only five games. The only
team in the country with fewer losses
is Stanford.
The Huskers continued that string
against the Wildcats, and Allisor
Weston said although the team set a
record, it wasn’t a major concern.
“We’ve just been taking it game
by game,” Weston said. “It feels the
same as any other win.”
Reitsma said there hasn’t been a
lot of pressure on the Huskers to keep
winning, even with the success Ne
braska has had this season.
"I don’t think we’ll focus on los
ing or breaking the winning streak,”
Reitsma said. “We’re going to focus
on winning, and the record really
doesn’t meaif anything.”
i With only five regular season
games remaining — including four
of those at home — the Huskers are
looking to finish out the season unde
feated.
But Reitsma said Nebraska would
have to play even better to finish with
an unblemished record.
‘‘If we play the best we can play,
we have a good chance,” Reitsma
said. “We know we can play at that
level, but now we just have to make
sure we do.”

Sweep
Continued from Page 7
Nebraska trailed 5-2 early in the
first game, but then went on a 7-1 run
sparked by Weston, who had four
lulls during the spurt.
Down 12-6, the Wildcats scored
two points, but Nebraska middle
blocker Peggy Meyer registered two
kills and a block to give the Huskers
a 15-8 win.
‘‘I just didn’t think we worked
hard the first two games,” Pettit said.
"Kansas State worked harder than we
did."
The Wildcats came out on fire in
the second game, taking a 6-0 lead
before a Husker timeout. With Billie
Winsett serving, a Reitsma kill fi
nally got Nebraska on the board. Af
ter six sideouts, the Huskers began to
roll, cutting the Wildcat lead to 8-7
and tying the game at 10 on a Weston
service ace.
The Wildcats could muster only
one more point, and in that same
stretch, Reitsma, a 6-foot-3 middle
blocker from Hull, Iowa, pounded
three kills and an ace.
“She’s a great athlete,’’ Pettit said
of Reitsma, who switched from out
side hitter to middle blocker last week
when Jen McFadden was lost for the
season with a knee injury.
“She has the ability to play any of
the three front-court positions. She’s
going to have to play a more signifi
cant role than maybe we thought at
the beginning of the year. Her play
tonight maybe tells me she’s ready.”
Reitsma, who played all of the
second game in place of Meyer, said
she had been successful because the
other team was always looking for
Weston.
“I knew that the blockers weren’t
even paying any attention to me,”
Reitsma said. ”So I was just waiting
for the set, because I knew they
wouldn’t be ready for it.”
The Wildcats weren’t ready for
anything as the third game began.
Powered by the serving of Christy
Johnson, Winsett and Kate Cmich,
the Huskers quickly opened up a 12
2 lead, and with Winsett serving, a
Wildcat net violation gave the Husk
ers the game and the match.
