Buffs will face Huskers
for fourth time this year
From Staff Raporti
Nebraska will play Colorado
for the fourth time this season af
ter the Buffaloes defeated North
ern Iowa on Sunday to advance in
the NCAA volleyball regional in
Lincoln.
The Buffaloes defeated the Pan
thers 14-16, 15-13, 15-9, 15-12.
“Losing the first game took a
chunk out of us, but we got back,”
strong hitter Karrie Downey said.
“We have to learn that we can’t
let teams back in the match like
that.”
Colorado coach Brad Saindon
said he was excited about making
it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA
tournament.
“After we played Nebraska well
in the Big Eight tournament, it
gave us a glimmer of hope,” he
said. “We know them well and can
compete with them.
“Sweet 16, the NCAA tourna
ment — upsets are what this tour
nament is all about.”
Downey led Colorado with 21
kills.
“I’ve seen Colorado play, and
there were some individuals that
were unstoppable,” Northern Iowa
coach Iradge Ahrabi-Fard said.
Colorado had to play without
junior opposite hitter Shannon
Parke, who was suspended for the
match.
“She was suspended from the
team and will meet with the \
coaches (today) to determine her
future with the team,” Saindon
said. “Vaguely speaking, it was a
violation of team rules.”

Nebraska players agreed they had
not seen a player this season who hit
the ball as hard as Vtyurina.
“If it hits the block faster,” said
Husker middle blocker Peggy Meyer,
who had a career-high eight kills,
“it’ll go faster to the floor. So you can
take it two ways.”
A kill by Vtyurina capped a 4-0
George Washington run to give the
Colonials an 8-4 lead. Winsett an
swered with a kill, and with Allison
Weston serving, Meyer blocked an
other Vtyurina attempt.
Kills by Winsett and Weston tied
the game at 8, but George Washing
ton regained the lead on a service ace
by Vtyurina. The score was tied at
10, 11 and 12 before a wide hit and a
net violation gave the Huskers a 14
12 lead and game point.
But a mishandled pass returned
the serv e to the Colonials, who an
swered by scoring three straight
points to earn their own game point.
With Liu Li serving, a Weston kill
gave Nebraska a sideout. Another
block by Meyer tied the score at 15.
After four consecutive sideouts,
Meyer’s kill gave Nebraska a 16-15
lead.
And with Winsett serving, Meyer
blocked Vtyurina to end the game 17
15. In addition to finishing off the
first game, Meyer, a 6-foot-1 senior
from Morehead, Minn., posted
Nebraska’s final kill and served the
winning point in the second game.
“The first game set the pace for
the match,” Vtyurina said, who had
25 kills, 16 errors and 66 attempts
for a. 136 hitting percentage. “But we
were prepared to go in and fight
again. We had nothing to lose, so I
just swang away.
“Of course I tried to not make er
rors, but Nebraska has great blockers.
You have to swing as hard as pos
sible. If you get it in, it’s great.’4
Team nets third
in invitational
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska women’s basketball
team claimed third place in the Duke
Invitational on Sunday afternoon
with an 80-46 victory in the consola
tion game against Wisconsin-Mil
waukee.
The Huskers got off to a quick start
as they took a 44-16 first-half lead
thanks to 12 points by junior guard
Lis Brenden. Brenden finished with
a team-high 19 points and three as
sists.
The Huskers shot 44.6 percent
from the floor as they raised their
record to 4-2. Wisconsin-Milwaukee
fell to 0-4.
Nebraska coach Angela Beck
changed her starting lineup to find a
better balance.
“I decided to shuffle the lineup
around today and we got a lot more
balance,” Beck said. “Yesterday we
lacked emotion, and we learned from
that. Today we had more fun, but you
always have more fun whan you win.”

“I was so much in the game that I
just wanted to hit it very hard and
the net was unfortunately there,”
Vtyurina said.
Homan agreed with Vtyurina and
said Nebraska stepped up its block
ing.
“I think that their strength lies in
hitting and blocking,” Homan said.
“You have to get the ball around the
block or through the block to make
them ball handle.”
Colonial senior Stefanie Francis
said even though the season ended
with a loss, she was grateful to see
the transformation in George Wash
ington volleyball.
“We’ve come so far, it’s amazing,”
Francis said. “My freshman year we
went 10-24 and now you’re in the
second round of the NCAAs going
17-15 with the team that’s ranked No.
