Huskers too tough for
Wildcats to withstand
From Staff Reports
A superb six minutes of basketball
didn't turn against the Nebraska
women’s basketball team as it de
feated Weber State 78-63 Saturday to
win the CableVision Classic.
After defeating Gonzaga 87-40 on
Friday, the Cornhuskers opened the
championship game by outscoring the
Wildcats 20-5 in the first six minutes
of the game.
During that span, Husker sopho
more Anna DeForge, the tournament’s
most valuable player, scored eight of
her team-high 21 points while senior
Pyra Aarden, who was named to the
all-tournahient team, added seven.
“We just came out unbelievably
strong,” Nebraska coach Angela Beck
said. “If you saw the first seven min
utes, it was just brilliant basketball. I
think we shocked them with the level
of our defense to start out.”
In the next 10 minutes, however,
the Wildcats outscored Nebraska 21
2. But then the Huskers reapplied their
defensive pressure and limited the
Wildcats to one field goal in the last
four minutes of the half while regain
ing a 42-29 halftime lead.
“The first and last five minutes of
each half, we look to be really aggres
sive,” DeForge said. “We don’t want
to be outscored, outrebounded; we
want to lead everything.”

thing would happen,” McGee said.
“That’s been going on all year, and
you can’t do things like that.”
Running back Jerald Moore was
held to a season-low 39 yards on 14
carries. He said the Sooners’ lack of
offense frustrated him.
“If we wouldn’t have made those
two big turnovers, things could have
been different,” Moore said.
The Oklahoma defense did have
some success, though, holding the
Nebraska offense to only two touch
downs.
The Sooners held Heisman Trophy
candidate Tommie Frazier to 35 yards
rushing and a 12-for-25, 128-yard
passing performance.
“Our linebackers are about as quick
and react about as well as any I’ve
ever been around,” Schnellenberger
said.

ball on them. Not as much, but we did
move the ball.”
Nebraska added a final score on its
last possession of the game after a 13
play, 80-yard drive. Fullback Joel
Makovicka rumbled in from 17 yards
out to give Nebraska a 37-0 lead with
44 seconds remaining in the game.
“I think Oklahoma came up and
played hard,” Osborne said. “I was
probably more apprehensive about this
game than I’ve been any game for a
long time. I felt that they had good
athletes and the Oklahoma State game
(the 12-0 loss to the Cowboys Nov.
11) would rqfllly focus them. And I’ve
never known an Oklahoma team not to
play hard against Nebraska.”
In the final game of the Big Eight
Conference, which will expand to the
Big 12 next season, Nebraska held
Oklahoma to 94 yards rushing and
241 total yards.
It also capped the Huskers’ third
consecutive undefeated regular sea
son.
“I think this year’s team will be one
that I’ll always remember for many
reasons,” Osborne said. “I’ve been
very satisfied by the way they have
been able to focus and pull together. I
think they’ve been a team in the true
sense of the word.”

committee, headed by Cindy
Lewis of Hofstra, did a good job
of dividing the nation’s top
teams.
“The important thing to us,”
Pettit said, “probably more im
portant than anything, is that if
we win, we have the opportunity
to host regionals. That’s really
big.”
Nebraska had no problems
this weekend at the Civic Audi
torium in Omaha, defeating
Oklahoma 15-7, 15-9, 15-5 on
Friday and hammering Iowa
State 15-4,15-5,15-1 in the Big
Eight Tournament championship
match on Saturday.
Senior middle blocker

the tournament, was named the
most valuable player for the sec
ond straight year, and was joined
on the all-tournament team by
Johnson, senior Billie Winsett
and sophomore Lisa Reitsma.
Colorado, which lost to Iowa
State on Friday night in Omaha,
will travel to Northern Iowa

NCAA Tournament match, and
