Beck started Jami Kubik, Anna DeForge, Tanya Upthegrove, Roquayyah Brown and Kate Galligan, and that lineup almost gave Nebraska its first win since Jan. 29. And then Beck used five other players to substitute into the game for the starting five. Those players were Pyra Aarden, Chris Dillavou, Kate McEwen, Lis Brenden and Tina McClain. But the Comhuskers, 11-12 and 2 9 in the Big Eight, blew a 16-point lead in the second half and fell to Oklahoma 85-83 Sunday before 3,234 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Cen ter. The Sooners improved to 16-6 and 8-3 in the conference. Beck said the rotation system helped in the first half. “I thought benching a couple of starters might help,” Beck said. “In my mind I just felt we got a pretty good rhythm out of the first ones. It helped us stay more fresh.” But the Sooners rallied and put the success of the Nebraska rotation sys tem to bed late in the game. After trailing 81-79 with 2:02 re maining, Nebraska pulled within 81 80 bn a McClain free throw. Oklahoma led 84-80 after Etta Maytubby, who led all scorers with 24 points, made three free throws with 16 seconds left. A 3-pointer by Galligan pulled Nebraska to within 84-83 with eight seconds left. McClain then fouled Sharee Mitchum on the inbounds play. Mitchum sank theiront end of the one-and-one, but missed the second and DeForge rebounded. DeForge dribbled the ball up the court and had a jump shot from the free-throw line roll off the rim with two seconds left. Beck said the loss was another tough one for the Huskers. “Our execution in the last 30 sec onds was horrendous,” Beck said. “It was a contrasting game, first half Nebraska played excellent. (Okla homa) had an excellent second half compared to their first half.” Tne Huskers held a 58-42 advan tage with 17:33 remaining after a Galligan 3-pointer. The Sooners rallied with a 14-2 run to cut the Nebraska lead to 60-56. In that 5:22 span, Nebraska’s lone basket came from Pyra Aarden and * the Huskers then went 2:59 without a field goal until Lis Brenden hit a 3 pointer. The Sooners rallied to tie the game at 72 with 5:36 remaining. DeForge, who led Nebraska with 20 points, said she could see Ne braska begin to get nervous during the Sooners’ comeback. “We were tensing up as a team,” DeForge said. “We weren’t playing to win anymore, I think we were just playing to hold our lead.” Husker gymnasts win, lose at meets From Staff Reports The fifth-ranked Nebraska men’s gymnastics team lost 227.95-226.5 at fourth-ranked Penn State Saturday night, but rebounded Sunday by de feating William & Mary and James Madison.

Deadline 2:00 Mon., Feb. 13 Nebraska dominates in-state rival UNO By Clay Short Staff Reporter For the Nebraska wrestling team, the in-state matchup with the Univer sity of Nebraska-Omaha didn’t turn out to be much of a matchup after all. Guided by three pins, and by virtue of taking nine straight wins from the Mavs, the Comhuskers punished the Division II school with a 36-3 win Sunday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. “This is the first time that my team didn’t underestimate Omaha,” Husker coach Tim Neumann said. “Our guys knew they had to wrestle well, and they did.” Heavyweight Tolly Thompson got his 12th pin of the season, Jason Kraft got his second, and Mike Eierman his fourth. But the Huskers, who improved to 16-3 on the season, lost the first match of the night. At 118 pounds, fresh man Brad Canoyer lost a close 6-4 decision to the Mavericks’ Lim Prim. After the first match, though, the dual was all Huskers as Nebraska didn’t lose another match. “Tim should really be proud of his guys,” UNO coach Mike Denney said. “I have to hand it to them, they were ready to wrestle.” Junior Erik Josephson continued his recent dominance on the mat, beating the top-ranked Division II 167-pounder, Raphael Kizzee, in double overtime. Even though he has a 27-5 record, Josephson has not yet received a national ranking. “It’s like running into a wall, try ing to get him ranked,” Neumann said. “He beat the defending national champion, and has only lost one match at 167.” But Josephson isn’t worrying about the national rankings. “They don’t want to rank me,” he said. “That’s fine with me. If I win the Big Eight, which I plan on doing, then I’ll get the respect.” Steve Baer, Tony DeAnda, Temoer Terry, Kenny Mbah and Ryan Tobin all scored decisions against the Mavs. Baer and Terry beat opponents that were both ranked No. 2 in the nation. Women s gymnasts win meet, score season-high point total From Staff Reports The Nebraska women’s gymnas tics team used a season-high 192.575 to win the Hearts Invitational at Ra leigh, N.C. Host North Carolina State finished second with a score of 189.7. James Madison finished third at 184.675 and Rhode Island was fourth with a score of 184.025. The Comhuskers were led by Joy Taylor and Shelly Bartlett, who tied for the all-around title with scores of 38.9. Bartlett won the balance beam with a score of9.875. Taylor finished third in the event with a 9.8. Nebraska’s Kim DeHaan won on the uneven bars with a score of 9.825. Taylor finished second with a 9.75. Loss Continued from Page 7 to the right.” In addition to Boone’s 21 points, Erick Strickland added 16 points and five steals and Terrance Badgett scored 12 points. Nee, whose record against Iowa State fell to 9-8, said the key to the game may have been when Strickland fouled out 21 seconds into the over time period. “We got out of our normal substi tution rotation because of the foul trouble,” Nee said. “Strickland gives us a defensive identity. He hasn’t been playing well, but, still, we want him on the floor.” ‘ s Iowa State was paced by Hoiberg, who scored 14 of his team-high 20 points after halftime and played 44 minutes in the game. Center Loren Meyer chipped in 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Michalik added 18 points. Nee said Nebraska would have to regroup quickly in order to be ready to play No. 2 Kansas on Tuesday night in Lincoln. “We are going 'to need a superhu man effort on Tuesday,” he said. “There’s just no breaks in the league. Once one is behind you, win or lose, you just have to have the resiliency, the courage to come back.”
