Giant NU blocks intimidate Tayhawks
By Trevor Parks__
Senior Reporter
As far as Kansas volleyball coach Karen
Schonewise is concerned, Nebraska had the
Jolly Green Giant blocking on its side of the
net Wednesday night.
Schonewise, a former Nebraska All-Ameri
can, said the Jayhawks, 5-11 and 0-3 in the Big
Eight, were scared of Nebraska’s blockers, and
the Comhuskers took advantage by defeating
Kansas 15-4, 15-6, 15-2 at the NU Coliseum.
“I think our players were intimidated a little
early in the match by the size of their block,”
Schonewise said. “They weren’t used to see
ing a block that big.”
In the match, Nebraska had 12 team blocks
compared to the Jayhawks’ five. The Huskers
had 16 block assists, their third highest total of
the season, and four solo blocks, also their
third highest.
At one time, Nebraska had a front line of 6
foot Stacie Maser, 6-foot-2 Jen McFadden and
6-foot-4 Lisa Reitsma up to block Kansas, and
Schonewise said that was difficult for any
team to hit around.
The Jayhawks were held to a season-low
- .080 hitting percentage.
• Despite Nebraska’sdominance, Schonewise
said she was pleased with her team’s perfor
mance.
“I was fairly pleased with the way We
played,” Schonewise said. “I thought our de
fensive effort was much improved over what
we’ve had before.”
Kansas struggled throughout the match,
hitting a negative percentage in all three
matches. The Jayhawks hit -.111 in the first
game, -.057 in the second and -.077 in the third
game.
That again was because of the Nebraska
defensive block.
“It’s very difficult, not so much to hit over
or around, but because Nebraska plays such
good defense, so even if we hit over or around
the block, someone is there to dig it.”
With all the bad numbers, Schortewise said
the reason her team lost was the strength of
Nebraska and the inexperience of the Jayhawks.
Kansas has only two seniors on the team and
has seven sophomores.
“They just have a great team,” Schonewi'se
said. “Top to bottom, their offense, their de
fense, they just give a great team effort.”
And that starts with Schonewise’s former
coach Terry Pettit. Schonewise played for the
Huskers from 1983 to 1987, and she learned a
lot from Pettit in her time at Nebraska.
.“1 respect Terry very much,” Schon.ewise
said. “We’ve known each other for a long time,
and it’s not so much me against him, it’s our
teams playing each other.”

may just have to play with that discomfort.”
McFadden’s limited ability was not felt
Wednesday against the Jayhawks. Nebraska
was never challenged, gaining leads of 5-0,
4-0 and 7-0 in the three games before Kan
sas earned a point.
Kansas posed its biggest threat in the
second game, cutting the Husker lead to 4
3 before Weston took over, leading Ne
braska to eight straight points. Kansas hit -
.080 in the match, the second straight time
a Husker opponent has been held to a nega
tive hitting percentage. The Jayhawks never
have beaten Nebraska in 55 tries.
“Most of their players are back from last
year,” Nebraska setter Christy Johnson said. •
“So we have seen them a lot. We knew that
they couldn’t really match up with us physi
cally.”

Beck calls for national crackdown
From the Associated Press
The University of Nebraska
women’s basketball coach says it is
time for a nationwide crackdown on
college athletes who commit violent
crimes.
Angela Beck said an assault on
one of her players by star football
player Lawrence Phillips brought the
issue into focus for her.
She said national criteria were
needed for evaluating the behavioral
records of recruits, and for observing
and guiding some once they- reach
campus.
“I don’t think that the standards
for dealing with criminal acts, in
eluding assaultive behavior, should
necessarily be on a coach-by-coach,
team-by-team, school-by-school ba
sis,” Beck said.
. “There should be an institutional
clearinghouse that would oversee any
student athlete who has a record of
criminal or assaultive behavior,” she
said. “A student athlete that breaks
the law would have to abide by a
departmental standard similar to the
student code of conduct. It could be
developed by an athletic commit
tee.”
Phillips, a junior running back
from West Covina, Calif., was con
victed of misdemeanor assault for
hitting his ex-girlfriend Kale
McEwen, a 20-year-old basketball
player.
Phillips awaits sentencing. He was
suspended from the football team
indefinitely, but head football coach
Tom Osborne has said Phillips could
play this season.
“I feel a responsibility to make sure
that things like this don’t happen again
at the University of Nebraska or at any
university,” Beck said-. -‘We need a
national discussion of the issue.”
Beck, who has declined many re
quests for interviews, said she hesi
tated to speak out for fear her com
ments would be interpreted as criti
cism of Osborne or Nebraska’s foot
ball program.
GU quarterback can resume practice
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colo
rado quarterback Koy Detmer, who
has been sidelined with a torn liga
ment, can resume practice immedi
ately, according to team doctors.
Detmer will be allowed to prac
tice on a limited basis through the
end of the week and will be evaluated
daily. It’s uncertain whether he will
play in Saturday’s home game against
Kansas.
' Detmer, a junior, has been side
lined since tearing the anterior cruci
ate ligament in his right knee in the
29-21 win over Texas A&M Sept. 23.
He underwent a Cybex test Tues
day to determine the difference in
strength of his knees. Trainers said
the inj ured knee was 6 percent weaker
than the other knee.
“The strength deficit is of minor
concern, and it’s something that can
be made up in just a few days," said
Dave Burton, Colorado’s sports medi
cine' director.
“He has very little swelling in the
knee, and he has complete full range
of motion without any pain " Burton
added.
Detmer is “completely functional"
in his brace, and his knee doesn’t
shift in it, he said.
The medical staff has been talking
to Detmer’s parents and. other doc
tors, Burton said, and the consensus
is that Detmer can put off surgery
until after the season. But the surgery
would be moved up if he. has any
problems.
Contributing to the decision to
delay surgery were the knee’s func
tion and Detmer’s desire to .play,
Colorado officials said. He is a fourth
year junior, having used his redshirt
year in 1993.

me to make the tackle,” Colman said.
“We were really excited we started
blitzing in the second half.”
Also in the second half the Cou
gars’ offense became predictable, and
that made his duties as MIKE line
backer a little easier, said Colman,
who had six tackles against Wash
ington State.
“I was thinking they were going to
come out and run some more difficult
things,” Colman said. “They did some
things with their receivers that I was
worried about, but we really didn’t
sec many changes in our coverage.’’
The player who spelled Colman
when he heeded a rest against Wash
ington State was junior MIKE' line
backer Jon Hesse.
Colman said Hesse, who is fifth on
the team with 19 tackles, needed to
get experience this season because he
may be the starter next year.
“He needs this right now to get
that big-game experience,” Colman
said. “He got in there early, and I
don’t think anybody saw anything,
but with his technique he made some
big plays inside that helped out other
people.”
Also, a close game was something
Colman said he was excited to see.
Colman said the 35-21 victory over
Washington State tested the team’s
character, and the Huskers responded
well.

“We had to do things in this past
game that we. haven’t had to do,"
Colman said. “We had to come to
gether as a team because we were
down 0-7. , • ,
“We pulled together as a team and
we came out on top.”
The Huskers’ week off before play
ing host to Missouri-Oct. 14 would
give the Nebraska defense time to
iron out some problems, Colman said.
But it also would be a time to reflect
on how good Nebraska might be, he
said, especially since the Huskers
beat the Cougars by only 14 points.
“It puts us in a position whefe
maybe we aren’t as good as we think
we are,” Colman said. “This week off
is going to help us prepare for Mis
souri and get things straight.”
