Tom knee ligament ends season
for Nebraska soccer co-captain
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
Nebraska’s women soccer coach
John Walker felt ill after the
Comhuskers’ 5-0 exhibition victory
over Queen ’ s University at the Abbott
Soccer Park Complex Thursday.
. Walker said he was pleased with
the Huskers victory, but was.sickened
by the loss of Tanya'Franck.
Franck, a junior co-captain on this
year’s team, tore her anterior cruciate
ligament 20 minutes into the first
half, team physician Dr. Robert Dugas
said.
Dugas said Franck would miss the
entire season.
“It just leaves a sickening feeling
in my stomach,” Walker said. “It’s an
unbelievable loss; an unbelievably
sickening loss for the team and no
doubt for her. It has taken a little bit
of the glamour off the victory.”
Walker was able to find glamour
in both the Huskers offense and de
fense against Queen’s.
The Huskers had 30 shots on goal
and 41 total shots against the Queen’s
and limited them to only one shot and
no shots on goal.
. Walker said he was pleased with
the intensity of the Huskers, and the
majority of the game was played at
Nebraska’s offensive end of the field.

“I was very pleased with the per
formance tonight, and I think for the
first game we got contributions, and
everybody got to play,” Walker said.
“The biggest thing was we wanted to
establish an intensity level that was
acceptable.”
“One of our biggest goals is to
never lose games on effort, but to win
them. So if nothing else is going right
you always have that intangible, that
constant, which is effort.”
Walker also was^pleased with the
blending of the new players and the
returners. The Huskers have 10 fresh
men players on this year’s roster.
He said many of the freshmen were
nervous before the game, but they
blended well as the game progressed.
“I thought all of our new players
played pretty well,” Walker said. “We
are happy with all of our new play
ers.” • i
Sandy Smith, one of the new play
ers, made a significant contribution.
Smith, a freshmen from Hunting
ton Beach, Calif., scored two goals in
the second half. Junior Kim Ratliff
. also scored two goals for the Huskers.
Freshmen Becky Hogan added one.
Smith said the Huskers had areas
to improve on, but she thought they
could have a successful season.
• “It’s a good team,” Smith said. “I
came in and it was like I always
playing with the players. They’re good
players and easy to get along with.”
Smith said Franck’s injury also
might provide the Huskers with added
incentive for the season.
“We are going to miss her, and it’s
going to be a hard loss,” Smith added.
“It will make us more determined.”
The Huskers will-try to use some of
that determination in an exhibition
game with Vanderbilt Sunday at noon.
