Husker power blows Cyclones away By Jeff Griesch Senior Reporter The game wasn’t pretty, but to the Nebraska women’s basketball team, the final score was beautiful. The Comhuskers dominated Iowa State from start to finish in a 67-54 win in front of a crowd of 4,088 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Sunday. The Huskers, 11-8 overall and 2-5 in the Big Eight, used an aggressive full-court press to disrupt Iowa State’s offense and cause turnover after turnover. The Cyclones, 7-12 overall and 0-7 in the conference, turned the ball over 12 times in the first half as the Huskers raced to a 34-25 lead. For the game, the Huskers forced 23 Cy clone turnovers and often made Iowa State take 15-20 seconds to get into its offense. “We planned on pressing them and thought we could force some turnovers,” Beck said. “They weren’t able to do the things they wanted to do.” Despite the effectiveness ofNebraska’s press, the Cyclones stayed in the game behind the strong inside play of Jayme Olson and Janel GruTim. ? Olson, a 6-foot-1 freshman forward, scored 14 points, while Grimm, a 6-2 freshman cen ter, added 8 points. “Iowa State is a tough team to play against because they play a rugged, slow-down game,” Beck said. “They just hang around and won’t go away.” Junior guard Kate Galligan led the Huskers with 15 points in the first half, and finished with a game-high 21 points. But Galligan’s lack of turnovers was even more impressive than her abundance of points. Galligan had been averaging a team-worst 4.1 turnovers per game, but did not commit a single turnover against the Cyclones. “The no turnovers definitely feels better than scoring 21 points,” Galligan said. “It gets really frustrating turning the ball over all the time, especially when so many of them have been unforced.” While Galligan had her best day taking care of the ball this season, her teammates couldn’t find the handle and committed 23 turnovers. “We just get overexcited and make silly mistakes with the ball,” Galligan said. Despite the turnovers, Nebraska guard Lis Brenden said the win was still a big one for the Huskers. “We didn’t really play that exciting of a game, but we got what we needed—a win and some confidence,” Brenden said. Brenden scored 8 points and dished out 5 assists. Pyra Aarden scored 12 points, while Anna DeForge poured in 11 points. Husker guard Tina McClain added 10. Jayme Olson led the Cyclones with 14 points. Galligan said regardless of how the game looked, the Huskers had to beat the Cyclones. Harrison Continued from Page 7 Harrison also spent a year in Venezuela, two winters in the Mexican Pacific League and a year in the Mexican Summer League. He returned to Nebraska last fall as a full time student and the Huskers’ pitching coach. Harrison played for the Huskers from 1984 until 1986, and holds the NCAA single-sea son record with 33 pickoffs. He won 10 games for Nebraska in 1984 and struck out 98 batters in 1986. Both rank second-best of all time in the Nebraska record books. Harrison said he would continue to work with the pitchers until Feb. 15. “John Sanders has been a real gentleman about this whole deal. He told me if he had the same opportunity, he would have done the same thing,” Harrison said. “He has given me until April 15 to give playing a chance. After that, he will try to find a replacement for me.” Until he reports to spring training, Harrison said he would be working to get in shape. “If I’m going to do this. I’m going to go all out,” Harrison said. “I have nothing to lose.” RELIVE THE ORANGE BOWL or SUPER BOWL XXEX!
