Men’s golf coach hopes team
will get into swing of things
By Andrew Stmad
Staff Reporter
After a fifth-place finish in the Big
Eight last fall, the Nebraska men’s
golf team is hoping for bigger and
better things as the spring season fast
approaches.
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.

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.”

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.”

“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.”
