Yang is the Huskers’ No. 1 singles player and was an All-Big Eight pick last year. Coach stresses fundamentals By Vince D Adamo Staff Reporter The Nebraska women’s tennis team is using the fall season as a tuneup for competitive Big Eight play in the spring. - The Big Eight had four teams ranked in the top 40 in the nation last year. So Cornhusker coach Scott Jacobson, en tering his fifth year at Ne - braska, is stressing fundamentals before any thing else during the fall. “We do a lot of individual things. It lets you know where you’re at,” Jacobson said. “It’s about improvement. It’s a six- or seven-month process. We’re work ing on conditioning.” Jacobson said he hoped to build on last year’s 8-14 record and third place finish at the Big Eight tour nament. The Huskers return their top three singles players from last year. But for any team to be success ful, working together is essential, Jacobson said. “Building cohesiveness helps us become better,” he said. “This is the most cohesive team since I’ve been here.” Sophomore Lisa Hart, the Hik ers’ No. 2 singles player, is back after gaining newcomer-of-the year and freshman-of-the-year hon ors last season. Both Hart and jun ior Annie Yang made the All-Big Eight team. Sophomore Jennifer Thoste also returns. All three ranked in the top 30 last season. “All can play at a high level,” Jacobson said. “They were the core of our program last year. They have a lot of confidence and suc cess.” The Huskers also will get Cathy Liptak back after having arthroscopic shoulder surgery. “She’s an outstanding singles and doubles player,’’ Jacobson said. “She’s really worked on her fit ness.” For the first time in four years, though, the Huskers are without Frauke Hachtmann and Jane Startin. Jacobson said both would be missed because of their leader ship. “They both led in a positive way,” he said. “They were great leaders.” With the loss of Hachtmann and Startin, Jacobson said Ne braska needed more than talent to win. “The skill level is as strong as ever. We need to stay healthy,” Jacobson said. “If one person goes down, it has quite an effect.” Davis Continued from Page 7 said. “It’s a shame because he is a great player and is great to watch.” Davis was named the 1993 Florida prep football player of the year by USA Today after rushing for a Dade County record 2,234 yards and 34 touch downs. ' Last season, Davis played in nine games and carried the ball just 34 times. He gained 187 yards, an average of more than five yards a carry. His 202 yards Saturday helped break the Iowa State single-season rushing record in just eight games. McCamey said Davis also deserved the Heisman Trophy if he finished the season at this same pace. “The award is supposed to go to the best player in college football,” he said. Davis agreed that he de served more attention. “I think (I should get atten tion) just because we’re play ing against all these ranked teams,” Davis said. “I know I consider myself one of the top candidates for the Heisman.” Research gave rum a nature | Injury may keep Phillips sidelined for ISU game From Staff Reports Just when I-back Lawrence. Phillips looked as if he would return to the playing field after serving a six game suspension, an ankle injury may keep him sidelined. Phillips, who was to play in his first game Saturday since the Sept. 9 contest at Michigan State, sprained his ankle Tuesday. He missed prac tice again Wednesday and was listed as day-to-day. Linebacker Jared Tomich, who in jured his back against Colorado, also missed practice. Big Eight Continued from Page 7 Sporting News. One team that won’t rely on se nior leadership this season is Iowa State, which lost six seniors and four other players who transferred. Last year’s team finished 23-11 with a trip to the NCAA Tournament and a No. 24 ranking. Second-year coach Tim Floyd lost 95.4 percent of his scoring from last season, so he said the Cyclones had spent the first two weeks of practice getting to know the 10 newcomers to the team, including three freshmen. Although defending Big Eight Tournament champion Oklahoma State does not have the rebuilding problems that Iowa State has, the Cowboys also have lost some key players to graduation and transfers. Oklahoma State, which lost to eventual national champion UCLA in the semifinals of the Final Four last season, must replace four seniors and two transfers who averaged a com bined 55 points a game last season for the 27-10 Cowboys. With no true center on the roster, Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said the Cowboys would try a new approach. Last season Oklahoma State had three centers taller than 6 feet 11 inches, but Reeves graduated and John Nelson and Ben Baum trans ferred. Last year’s Big Eight regular sea son champion, Kansas, which is pre dicted to finish first in the conference this season, will not have to rebuild at all, but the Jayhawks still will rely on freshmen. Jayhawk coach Roy Williams said freshman T.J. Pugh from Omaha had a good chance to see a lot of playing time for Kansas this season. Another Jayhawk freshman, Paul Pierce from Los Angeles could see considerable playing time and was the preseason pick for freshman of the year. Joining Pierce on the preseason freshman team is Colorado’s Chauncey Billups, a native of Den ver, Colo. Billups, although he hasn’t played a game as a Buffalo, is already a favorite of Colorado fans. Coach Joe Harrington said. •
