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 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.”

By Andrew Strnad
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska men’s and women’s
swimming teams showed Saturday
that both teams are ready for the Big
Eight meet.
Both teams dominated Missouri at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center Sat
urday afternoon.
The 19th-ranked men won 12 of
the 16 events and posted a 183-104
victory.
Comhusker swimming coach Cal
Bentz was very pleased with the team’s
performance.
“We really put up some good times
today in many events,” he said. “We
* were a lot more focused than we were
last week, I was real happy with how
we swam.”
Leading the Huskers to victory
was Justin Finney, who won the 100
meter butterfly with a time of 50.94
seconds.
“Justin had a great race,” Bentz
said. “I think he’s going to be a force
for us going into the Big Eight meet.”
Other winners for the Huskers in
cluded Juan Benavides in the 50
meter freestyle, Chris Ford in the
100-meter backstroke, Rodney
Johnston in the 100-meter breast
stroke and sophomore Conny
Wennberg in the 200-meter breast
stroke.
“I think this gives us a good idea of
where we are at going into the confer
ence meet,” Bentz said.
Nebraska divers Jeff Bro and Jen
nifer Hamly swept the 1-meter and
the 3-meter springboard events.
Diving coach Jim Hocking was very
happy with his divers’ performances.
“I feel strong about where we’re at
right now,” he said. “We should be in
prime shape come conference time.”
The 14th-ranked Husker women
also won 12 of the 16 events and took
the meet, 171-125.
Three Huskers won two events for
the women. Jane Glazebrook took the
200 backstroke and the 100 butterfly,
and Melanie Dodd won the 100 and
200 freestyles.
BriAnna Wilkins also won two
events by capturing the 1000 freestyle
and the 400 individual medley relay.
Wilkins won the 400 I.M. by more
than 11 seconds.
The Nebraska swimming and div
ing teams conclude their dual meet
season next Saturday against Kansas
at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
“These final dual meets are very
important to our success at the Big
Eight meet,” Hocking said. “Rigjht
now, I feel that we are doing the
things we need to do to get to that next
level.
“The Kansas meet next weekend
will be a good challenge for us.”

first two rotations.
“We went frombeingreally well
prepared for this meet to scram
bling because of the numbers,”
Husker coach Dan Kendig said.
But Kendig said there were a few
bright spots in the Huskers’ loss.

three spots in the all-around. Duval
scored a 38.05, while Joy Taylor’s
37.95 earned second place. Sopho
