Coach Larry Romjue, in his 25th year as the men’s coach at Nebraska, said the fall season had given him good reason to be optimistic this spring. “We played pretty well the entire fall,” he said. “I felt like we contin ued to improve from tournament to tournament. We turned in some very consistent performances.” The Comhuskers return with most of last year’s team, with the excep tion of Jamie Rogers, who returned to his home in Australia. Romjue said as many as five play ers had a legitimate chance to com pete at the NCAA Championships. Trent Morrison returns as the No. 1 golfer for the Huskers. _ ^ Goff Preview \ Morrison, a sophomore from -’Brisbane, Australia, finished tied for 12th at Regionals last year, one shot away from qualifying for the NCAAs. Other key returners for the Husk ers include junior Henrik Johansson and senior Steve Reiter. “Johansson made a big improve ment from last year,” Romjue said. “He played extremely well in the fall.” Nebraska added freshman Ryan Niefeldt, a two-time Nebraska junior champion from Grand Island, f Romjue said everyone would have to step up for the Huskers to make a run in the Big Eight. “Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, of course, will be on top as usual,” he said. “The rest of the teams in the conference won’t be too far behind.” Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are ranked second and fifth nation ally. The Husker men’s golf team be gins play Feb. 24-26 at the South Florida Invitational in Tampa, Fla. Romjue said he hoped this meet would help his players get into the swing of things. “We are looking for much better things this spring,” Romjue said. “Last year we did what we had to do to squeak into regionals, but we didn’t have any illusions of doing anything beyond that. We have three people back from that team, and we’ve added some quality depth and talent.” Romjue said his team had a shot at advancing beyond the regionals to the NCAA meet this spring. Going to NCAAs wasn’t a reason able goal last season,” he said. “This year should be a different story. The talent level is certainly good enough to get it done.” Coach says early season opener will benefit women’s golf team By Trevor Parks Staff Reporter The Nebraska women’s golf team got a boost in morale last week. The Comhuskers, who have been practicing at the track area in the Bob De vaney Sports Center, finished ninth with a three-round team score of 941 at the UCLA Pioneer Electronics Golf Classic last week. Coach Robin Krapfl said compet ing in the earliest meet in school history would have major benefits. “It helps to get a tournament under our belts,” Krapfl said. ‘‘It definitely helps morale because hitting indoors gets kind of boring.” The Huskers had some good indi vidual performances at their spring opener in Los Angeles. Junior Molly Mullin led the Husk ers, finishing in a tie for 22nd with a three-round total of 232. Mullin finished 16 strokes behind the winner, Arizona State’s Heather Bowie. Junior Michelle Patterson and j un ior Heidi Wall finished tied for 33rd with a total of236. Other finishers for the Huskers were freshman Rachel le Tacha, who finished 43rd with a 239, and senior Melissa Odell, who finished in a tie for 58th with a three-round total of 243 But after being in Los Angeles for almost a week, the Huskers must go back indoors now. Krapfl said the winter weather could affect her team, but she didn’t expect any major problems. “As long as we’re mentally pre pared, practicing indoors is not that big of deal,” she said. But Krapfl said the Huskers’ short game may be affected. The Huskers are coming off a suc cessful fall, in which they won the Husker Golf Classic, finished fourth at the Gopher Invitational in Minne sota and fifth at both the Diet Coke Roadrunner Invite and the Memphis Women’s Invitational. Nebraska has picked up one mem ber since the fall season. Maureen Regan, a transfer from Minnesota, will compete in her first meet as a Husker when Nebraska travels to Sarasota, Fla., Feb. 20-21 for the River Wilderness Invitational. Another transfer, Heidi Wall, helped Nebraska tremendously last year after transferring from Georgia. Krapfl said she would have liked Wall, a graduate of Lincoln South east, to stay in her hometown, but understood why she left to go to school out of state. “She was definitely the top recruit we wanted,” Krapfl said. “I think once you leave Nebraska and then come back you realize it’s not such a bad place after all.” Gym Continued from Page 7 The Huskers have the weekend off before hitting the road again to face Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., on Feb. 24. By then, Nebraska should be com pletely healthy and poised to hit mid season form. “I think we should be at 228 for the rest of the year,” he said. ‘‘I just haven’t convinced them of that yet.” NOTE: • Nebraska, averaging 226.865 points a meet, trails only New Mexico (227.0375) and Ohio State (226.935) in the national rankings. Stanford, which finished runner-up to Nebraska at nationals a year ago and won the championship in 1992 and 1993, is in danger of failing to qualify for regionals if it doesn’t shape up, Allen said. “They don’t care right now,” he said. “They think they can wait a month and turn it on. But if they don’t step it up, they aren’t going to make it.” Huskers Continued from Page 7 “Me and Jaron weren’t on the floor together a lot of the time,” Strickland said. “That made it a lot easier on Kansas to concentrate on shutting us down.” Strickland said the combination of Boone and himself could be a weapon Nebraska shouldn’t waste. “It really is important because it makes the other team concentrate more on us, and the other guys can really get into the game,” Strickland said. “Then we get those other guys contributing.” Kansas started the second half on a 13-4 run and increased its 47-45 halftime lead to 70-56 with 10:19 remaining in the game. Boone said the start of the second half was crucial to the outcome, es pecially in close games. “Nobody was being selfish,” Boone said. “We were just playing as a team. When you come in at the beginning of the half, the first three minutes is when you finally get loos ened up. You’re ready to get into the flow.” Kansas Continued from Page 7 From that point on, it was all Kan sas, which improved to 19-3 and 8-2 in the Big Eight. “I think it was their defense,” Nee said. “We started missing the shots, and they didn’t give us the good open 3s like they did in the first half. We missed a couple of easy shots and the lid just went on. When it went on, that was it. The frustration had set in.” Kansas, which had nine players score in the first half, opened the second half with a 15-6 run and in creased its lead to 70-56 after a bas ket by Raef LaFrentz with 10:19 left in the game. “We talked about how we had to put two good halves together,” Nee said. “Why (Nebraska didn’t), I can’t answer.” Nebraska made one last run after falling behind 70-56. Senior forward Melvin Brooks scored six of Nebraska’s eight unan swered points, which cut Kansas’ lead to 70-64 with 6:56 left. But consecutive 3-pointers by Greg Gurley and Billy Thomas an swered the Husker threat as the Jayhawks pulled out to a 76-65 lead — a lead that would never drop back into single digits. Meanwhile, Nebraska scored only one point in more than five minutes until Boone’s basket with 1:52 left. “You just can’t do that against a top 10 team,” Nee said. “You can’t play like that in the final six min utes.” Boone and Strickland, who com bined for 27 first half points, finished with 20 and 17, respectively. Badgett, who finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, said the Huskers wouldn’t give up after the loss dropped them to 16-8 overall and 3-6 in the Big Eight. “Anything can happen,” Badgett said. “It’s not really over. We’ll just have to tighten up and find a solution to this problem.”
