Nebraska pummels Colorado
during record-breaking match
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
Only two questions were in doubt
going into Nebraska’s sweep of Colo
rado Saturday night.
Would Allison Weston break the
Nebraska record for career kills?
Would the crowd be large enough
to break the NCAA attendance record
of 11,114 fans set at Wisconsin two
years ago?
The answers to those questions
eventually would be yes, but the doubt
surrounding the outcome of the match
didn’t last long.

7-0 in the Big Eight
with a 15-4, 15-3,
15-2 demolishing
of the5 Buffaloes,
who dropped to 10
9 and 2-4, at the Bob
Devaney Sports
Center.
coining into tnc
match, Weston needed nine kills to
break Eileen Shannon’s school record, '
and in the third game Weston’s kill
broke the record, giving Nebraska a 2
1 lead.
Nebraska coach Terry Pettit said
he didn’t want to stop the game to
honor Weston.
“Wc didn’t slop and hand her the
ball because it’s important, but it isn’t
our focus,” Pettit said. “It’s something
more special to Allison’s teammates
than it is to her.”
In between the second and third
games, any doubt of an NCAA atten
dance reeord ended. The record crowd
of 11,529 fans was announced, break
ing the old record of 11,114 set at
Madison, Wis., in the 1993 NCAA
final match between Long Beach State
and Penn State.
Weston, who had a match-high 12
kills, said the crowd played an impor
tant part in Nebraska’s first home
match since Oct. 4.
“It’s nice to be back home, espe
cially coming back to this,” Weston
said.
Pettit said his players disposed of
Colorado quickly because they were
excited to play, something he hadn’t
>een in a while.
“We were excited at the fan turn
out, and that’s what I hoped it would
do,” Pettit said.
In the first game, the Buffaloes
iumped out to a 2-0 lead before Ne
braska scored the next 12 points to
make it 12-2. In that span, Weston had
tier first three kills of the match to help
the Huskers.
The Buffaloes cut the score to 12
4 on a kill by Rachel Wacholder. Ne
braska took a 14-4 lead with a Stacie
Maser kill and won the match 15-4
when Colorado’s Sarah Lodge, who
had a team-high seven kills, unleashed
a shot that hit the net antenna.
In the second game, Nebraska con
tinued its momentum with Maria
Hedbeck serving, jumping out to a 5
0 lead. The Huskers took a 9-1 lead
when Courtney Owens hit a shot long.
Colorado pulled to within 9-3, but
Weston’s seventh kill and a Jen
McFadden kill gave Nebraska an 11
3 lead. After Jaime Krondak entered
the match to serve, the Huskers scored
the final four points of the game, in
cluding a Weston kill that tied
Shannon’s all-time kill record.
After Weston established the
record, Nebraska scored seven straight
points to take a 9-1 lead in the third
game. After Colorado scored on a
block by Lodge, the Huskers scored
the final six points of the game. The
game ended fittingly on Weston’s 12th
kill of the night and 1,525th of her
career.
Colorado coach Brad Saindon said
his staff had trouble finding five play
ers in college volleyball history who
were better than Weston.
“She presents so many problems in
terms of trying to match someone up
on her,” Saindon said. “She’s very
strong, she’s quick and she’s very
experienced.”

who had two sacks, three quarterback
hurries and six tackles. “It was kind of
a personal thing with us. We wanted to
go out and play well and show every
body that statistically they may be
better than us, but in a head-to-head
competition, they weren’t better than
us.”
Husker cornerback Michael
Booker intercepted a Miller pass on
Kansas State’s first possession of the
second half, and the Wildcats moved
backwards the next time they touched
the ball, ending with a fourth-down
and-37 at their own 4-yard line.
“Miller was getting rattled,” said
WILL linebacker Terrell Farley, who
in his First start recorded a team-high
nine tackles and two sacks. “As we
kept hitting him, I was looking at him.
He was getting off the ground and
shaking his head in pain.”

the scoring in the first halfwith a goal
that squeaked past Longhorn goal
keeper Jamie Strong.
The Huskers picked up where they
left off in the first half, as sophomore
Stephanie Vacek scored her first goal
of the season about nine minutes into
the second half.
“We were pretty pumped up at hal f
time,” Vacek said. “We expected a
tough game, and I’m glad we came
away with a win.”
Texas stormed back to make the
game interesting as Janelle Puraty
scored the first ofttwo Longhorn goals
in the last 17 minutes of the game.
Huskcr coach John Walker said his
team played wel 1, but he wasn ’t happy
with the last 20 minutes.
“I’m very disappointed that the
score ended up 3-2, and it made it
seem like it was a hard fought game,”
Walker said. “We had total control of
the game from the opening whistle
until those last 17 minutes.”
The Huskers conclude their season
this weekend, as they travel to Los
Angeles to take on Southern Califor
nia and UCLA.
