Reputable soccer coach ready
to create a stir at Iowa State
By Brian Jensen
Staff Reporter
Nebraska soccer coach Johi
Walker said his team wasn’t about t<
let up against Iowa State last week
end just because the Cyclones were <
first-year program.
Maybe the Comhuskers didn’t le
up because Cathy Klein is Iowa State’s
new coach.
Klein’s name is recognizable
throughout women’s collegiate soc
cer. Klein coached at Creighton Iasi
year, and her team went 14-4 and was
ranked 17th in the nation.
Despite coaching a winning pro
gram at Creighton, Klein said she
jumped at the chance to coach the
Cyclones.
“Iowa State gave me a tremen
dous opportunity to start my own
program,” Klein said. “It was an ex
citing commitment made to women’s
soccer and was just one of those
opportunities I couldn’t turn down.’
The Toronto native has been
around soccer for a long time. Klein
played for the Canadian national teair
for three years and also for Cortland
State in upstate New York for two
years, where she was an All-Ameri
can.
Klein began her coaching career
at Division-Ill Earlham College in
Richmond, Ind. Klein was only the
second coach in school history, so
she spent much of her time develop
ing a new program, which was a lot
1 ike her current situation at Iowa State.
“We’ve got so much to do. It’s an
exciting time,” Klein said. “We’ve
got some of the best facilities, so
there’s no place to go but up.”
Walker said he knew what Klein
was going through. Walker took over
the new program at Nebraska last
year.
Klein was hired in July and didn’t
get a good opportunity to recruit be
cause she had little time to prepare.
Walker said.
“I got hired in April and got a head
start,” Walker said. “Next year will
be her first full year to compete.”
Klein said she was going to focus
on the future and the development of
the soccer program and her student
athletes.

Iowa State coach Cathy Klein is taking over a first-year
program, much like John Walker did at Nebraska last year.
“My job is to prepare and struc
ture them to win and hopefully, the
winning takes care of itself,” Klein
said.
Though the Cyclones ended up
losing to Nebraska on Friday 4-0,
Klein said she had no complaints
with the game because the better
team had won. And she also has
Nebraska as a model to build on.
“John (Walker) had done such an
outstanding job in one year,” she
said. “(Nebraska) has got to be one of
the most outstanding second-year
programs in the country. He has done
a first-class job.”
Klein said that next year the Big
12 Conference, consisting of 10 es
tablished soccer programs, would
rank as one of the best conferences in
the country. She said that schools y
such as Texas A&M and Nebraska
were more developed than teams such
as Kansas or Iowa State. But she said
that the strength of the conference
would help in recruiting.
“All the teams will be competi
tive; they’re all first-class programs
with a great commitment to girls’
soccer,” Klein said. “I think it will be
great.”

to open the second game, Nebraska
scored six straight points. Kansas
State cut the score to 6-3, but behind
the play of Weston and sophomore
outside hitter Lisa Reitsma — whose
13 kills were second to Weston’s 17
— Nebraska scored nine of the next
11 points, clinching the game on a
hitting error by Kansas State’s Jill
Dugan.

The Wildcats rallied in the third
game, coming as close as 9-5 after
Nebraska opened an 8-1 lead. Two
Weston kills shifted the momentum
back in favor of Nebraska, a Reitsma
kill put the Huskers on top 14-8, and
with freshman Jaime Krondak serv
ing, Winsett iced the match with a
kill.
Pettit said the players, not the
coaches, deserved credit for the re
newed energy evident against Kan
sas State.
“The key is having players that
motivate players,” Pettit said. “That’s
the difference between champion
ship teams and pretty good teams.”
