Tennis coach happy with team
By Trevor Parks
Staff Reporter
For the Nebraska women’s tennis
team, the future looks very bright.
The Comhuskers’ top three singles
players are freshmen and sophomores,
and Coach Scott Jacobson can’t wait
to see how they do.
Jacobson said he couldn’t help
being optimistic about this year’s
team.
“At one-two-three, that’s the
strength of our lineup,” Jacobson said.
“We just put people where they be
long depending on their skill level,
and they are our best three players.”
This past weekend the two fresh
men got their first taste of collegiate
competition.
No. 2 singles player Jenny Thoste,
a newcomer to the team from Ger
many, and No. 1 singles player Annie
Yang, sophomore, both went 3-0 this
past weekend.
Jacobson said he was surprised to
see Thoste do well since she had
played on clay courts all of her life.
Another freshman, No. 3 singles
player Lisa Hart, went 1-2 last week
end.
Hart lost a 3 1/2-hour, three-set
loss to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s
Allison Light, 7-6, 3-6, 3-6.
Jacobson said the top three players
in the lineup were turning out to be
very experienced.
“The freshmen don’t play like
freshmen, and Annie certainly doesn’t
play like a sophomore,” he said.
The Comhuskers as a team fin
ished the Washington State Quadran
gular with a 1-2 mark.
Nebraska swept Lewis-Clark State
9-0 before losing to the host Cougars
Saturday, 7-2.
The Huskers ended the tourna
ment by losing a tough 5-4 match to
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Sunday.
Although the Huskers lost two
matches, Jacobson said the match
against Washington State was the
best Nebraska played all weekend.
“The cohesiveness of the team and
the high level of maturity was very
important,” Jacobson said. “I’m re
ally happy with the way the girls
played.”
Jacobson said the match against
Washington State gave the Huskers a
chance to play outside, a chance they
haven’t had all season.
“It’s critical to play outside in the
elements,” Jacobson said. “The next
time we get outside might not be until
over spring break.”
Thoste will move up to the No. 2
singles spot in place of Hart this
“The freshmen don 'tplay
like freshmen, and
Annie certainly doesn't
play like a sophomore."

weekend, Jacobson said.
Hart will play in the No. 3 singles
spot.
This weekend the Huskers travel
to Omaha and will compete against
Southwest Missouri State Friday and
Creighton on Saturday.
Jacobson said this weekend was
another building block for the re
mainder of the season.
“This is the first time in the last
three or four years we’ve been to
Omaha,” Jacobson said. “The main
thing is to continue to focus on im
proving.”
Neumann awaits dual with UNO

State bragging rights will be on
the line when the No. 4 Nebraska
wrestling team takes on the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Omaha at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center Sunday night.
Comihusker coach Tim Neumann
is looking forward to the dual meet
with the Mavericks.
“UNO will be exceptionally fired
up for us, and besides that, they have
a great team,” Neumann said.
“They'would beat more than half
of the Division I teams, and they
really want to take advantage of the
chance to wrestle us.”
UNO is ranked second in Division
II with a 7-1 record.
Nebraska, fresh off shutouts of
James Madison, Clemson and a 28
13 victory over 19th-ranked Ohio
State, will first take on Northern Iowa
Friday night in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The Panthers are 3-9 on the season
and are led by sixth-ranked heavy
weight Justin Greenlee.
Greenlee will take on Nebraska
heavyweight Tolly Thompson, who
is one of three ranked Huskers.
Neumfflin said he hoped his team
would continue to wrestle well dur
ing the final three duals of the season.
“The main thing we want to do is
continue improving our technique,”
Neumann said. “These duals will be
our last competition before a two
week layoff before Big Eights.”
Nebraska concludes its dual com
petition with a meet at Missouri on
Feb. 15.
Neumann said he hoped to fix a
few technical things before the Big
Eight Championships, which are to
be held on March 5 at the NU Coli
seum.
“If we don’t get those (technique)
things fixed now, we probably never
will,” he said.

“We usually don’t do that,” he
said, “but we’re defending national
champions, and we owe it to crowds to
go to these places.”
Nebraska was originally scheduled
to compete at Penn State on Feb. 12,
but the meet was moved to tonight
because of a scheduling conflict with
the basketball team.
Allen said the Huskers added Penn
State to the schedule this year to make
up for a home meet the Huskers will
play host to next year against the
Nittany Lions.
Penn State and the Huskers appear
to have many similar characteristics
on paper, and the meet should be
relatively even, Allen said.
“Penn State is in the same boat as
we are,” Allen said. “I think it’s going
to be a dam good meet.”
The Nittany Lions should put some
pressure on the Huskers that they have
not felt this season. Allen said that
this meet would be good for his young
team.
“We need to be pushed because we
haven’t felt any pressure to this point,”
Allen said. “It should be a classic
Penn State-Nebraska matchup.
“It comes down to how well we can
perform. If we can perform well, we
can win.”
The Huskers then took the oppor
tunity to schedule a meet at William &
Mary for the same road trip. James
Madisonwill also be competing in the
triangular meet.
“It will be a chance for them at
William & Mary to see something
that they usually don’t,” Allen said.
The Huskers are hoping to take
advantage of the road trip, Allen said.

good teams. I believe, though, that
we ’re a better team now than we were
before.”
Iowa State, which will be playing
its first game at home since Jan. 30, is
led by senior guard Fred Hoiberg.
Hoiberg, an Amesnative, was lead
ing the Big Eight in scoring with a
24.6 average going into the week, but
scored only 16 in a loss at Missouri
Wednesday night.
Nee said the combination of
Hoiberg and his hometown was some

thing the Cornhuskers must over
come from the opening tip.
“Playing in Ames is hard, and I
really just think Hoiberg is the key,”
he said. “He’s a great, great player.
(A good start) is really important.
When you get a good start, it takes the
crowd out of the game. It will be a
game of spurts, and I just hope we can
handle their pressure, execute and
shoot like we’ve been shooting.”
After Nebraska’s 100-86 victory
over Colorado Wednesday night, Nee
said the Huskers had regained their
shooting touch.
