Classic in Fresno, Calif., this
week.
“We want to get our pitching
straightened out,” Sanders said.
“We ’re only as good as our pitch

competition.”

hits and lowering his ERA to
3.60. ' *
Freshman Seth Williams will
make his second start of the sea
son Wednesday against 7-! 2
Fresno State.
“We want to improve on all
phases,” Sanders said. “But we
have to get better on the mound.”

Gymnasts’ win over
GophersTaylor-made
By Gregg Madsen
Staff Reporter
A tripto Minneapolis produced vic
tories lor the Nebraska men’s and
women s gymnas
tics teams Saturday
night.
While the
Cornhuskcr men
were boosted by the
efFortsoftruc fresh
man Marshall
Nelson, the women
again stabi
Tauinr lized by senior Joy
,ay,or Taylor, who led the
No. 8 Huskcrs to a 193.125-192.950
victory over Minnesota.
The New Palestine, Ind., native won
the balance beam with a career-high
9.875 and placed fourth in the vault
with a 9.65. Even more impressive
than her scores, Nebraska coach Dan
Kendig said, were the circumstances
under which she performed.
Taylor learned Friday that a close
friend had died from a stroke.
“We weren’t even sure that Joy was
going to perform this weekend,’
Kendig said.
In addition to dealing with her
friend’s death, Taylor had to deal with
the highest pressure of the night. When
she began her beam routine, Nebraska
was leading by only 1.1 points, and
two of the first five Husker gymnasts
had fell off the beam.
“It doesn’t take a mathematician to
figure out that if she didn’t hit, we
don’t win,” Kendig said. “Joy’s rou
tine was a take-your-hat-off-to-it per
formance.”
The Huskers also had to compete
without freshman all-aroundcr Misty
Oxford, who sprained her ankle on
Friday and competed only in the un
even bars.
Junior Shelly Bartlett finished sec
ond in the all-around with a 38.8.
For the men, the injection ofNelson
into the starting lineup provided a
much-needed boost in the Huskers’
225.925-224.125 victory over the 5th
ranked Golden Gophers,coach Francis
Allen said.
Nelson, who has missed two meets
this year because of a wrist injury, had
career-highs on the pommel horse (9.7)
and horizontal bar (9.5). He added a
9.35 performance on parallel bars. .
Senior all-arounder Jason Christie
finished second in the all-around, scor
inga 56.05. A Lincoln native, Christie
tied his career-high mark on vault with
a 9.3. i
“Christie missed a little bit on floor,”
Allen said. “He’s a 57-point gymnast,
so he’s still a point off.”
Ted Harris won the rings with a
season-high 9.825. Ryan McEwen won
the pommel horse (9.75) and horizon
tal bars (9.75), both career-high scores.
“We were pretty pleased that we
beat Minnesota at Minnesota,” Allen
said. “When teams go up against us,
they want to beat us, so it was good to
pull it out.”
Wrestling

a bad situation. He wasn’t.
Arias’ win helped the Cowboys lake
the team race. They finished the meet
in first place with 70 points, six points
ahead of second-place Nebraska. Okla
homa finished third with 60 points,
and Iowa State finishedin fourth, scor
ing 59 team points. Missouri closed
the field with 24 points.
“This team has surprised me
throughout the year,” Oklahoma State
coach John Smith said. “Again here,
they found a way to win.”
Nebraska tied Oklahoma State in
one category. Both teams will send
nine wrestlers to the NCAA Champi
onships March 21-23 in Minneapolis.
Kraft won’t wrestle any more this
season, but the rest ofNeumann’s team,
however, is in good shape for the
NCAA Championships.
Nebraska’s Tcmocr Terry at 158
pounds and heavyweight Tolly Th
ompson claimed their second indi
vidual conference titles. Terry, last
year’s champ at 150 pounds, defeated
Oklahoma State’s Hardell Moore with
a last-second takedown to end the
match 3-1.
Thompson, last year’s heavyweight
national champion, beat Trey Swann
of Oklahoma 8-3 in the finals. Thomp
son said he saw the Big Eight title as a
stepping stone to another national
championship.
Only two wrest lers, Jcramie Welder
at 126 pounds and Chad Nelson at 167
pounds, didn’t qualify outright for the
tournament. Both were selected among
the five at-large bids chosen by the
conference coaches after the medal
round.
The at-large wrestlers are chosen
from those who don’t place in the top
three.
Other than Kraft, no Nebraska start
ers will miss the trip to Minneapolis.
Brad Canoyer qualified at 118 with
a 2-1 double overtime win against Okla
homa State’s Teague Moore. At 134,
Tony DeAnda lost 4-2 in the finals to
Steven Schmidt of Oklahoma State.
Dusty Morris, who was seeded fifth,
added team points by placing third in
the 142 pound weight class. He won 2
1 in overtime.
Two straight Husker wrestlers
dropped one-point losses in the finals.
Erik Josephson advanced to the finals
at 177, but lost to Joe Wier of Missouri
3-2.
No. 4 Ryan Tobin took on top
ranked Oklahoma’s John Kading at
190 pounds, but Kading edged Tobin
9-8 in the finals.
