NU football
team ‘thin
on corners’
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska football team re
turned to the practice field for a two
hour workout in full pads on Monday.
No. 2 1-back Damon Bcnning sat
out because of a sore shoulder.
Bcnning sustained the injury in last
Saturday’s scrimmage.
Cornhusker coach Tom Osborne
said the injury was not believed to be
serious. No. 3 right comerback Jerome
Peterson missed practice because of a
groin injury.
“We’re pretty thin on the comers,”
Osborne said, “so it’s not a good situ
ation.”
No. 3 I-back James Sims returned
to practice after sitting out the last
week with a pulled hamstring.
Osborne said No. 1 defensive tackle
Jeff Ogard practiced Monday despite
nursing a sore heel.
While the offense is still looking
for consistent play, the defense con
tinues to progress nicely, Osborne
said.
Volleyball team eyes

Music stars
at ‘Night of
Champions’
From Staff Reports
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill

try music group Sawyer Brown will
perform on April 19 at the “Night of
Champions,” which will honor the
national champion Nebraska football
and volleyball teams.
The Husker marching band also

Sawyer Brown will perform as the

The April 20 game also has been

game. Any person with an admission
stub from the “Night of Champions”

McFadden and winning
the national
title.
“Last year a big thing was tak
ing risks,” said Jen McFaddeh, one
of three seniors next fall. “There’s
no point in setting a goal lower than
what we can accomplish.”
Nebraska completed its mission
by beating Texas on Dec. 16 in the
national championship match at
Amherst, Mass.
But the core of that team, Allison
Weston, Christy Johnson and Billie
Winsett have exhausted their eligi
bility after leading the Huskers to a
63-2 record over the last two sea
sons.
“The big plus in spring ball is to
try and get some people out on the
court who are going to be playing
next year,” Coach Terry Pettit said.
“Fiona (Nepo) has really ben
efited from it, and all this experi
ence is going to give her confi
dence.”
Nepo, a sophomore in the fall
who started one match at setter last
season, must step in for Johnson.
“The setter is always a major fac
tor, but she has what it takes to be
one of the great setters who have
ever played here,” Pettit said.
Now, as a white banner that
reads, “National Champions 1995”
in red writing, hangs from the
rafters of the NU Coliseum, the
Huskcrs are trying to remain fo
cused.
On Saturday, they beat Wiscon
sin, Iowa State, Colorado State and
Kansas State in a tournament at the
NU Coliseum. Over spring break,
Nebraska took four of six games
from Florida and five of six from
South Carolina at a tournament in
Gainesville, Fla.
The Huskers conclude the spring
with a Big 12 tournament in Man
hattan, Kan., next weekend.
But the real season starts on Aug.
23 in Normal, 111. Nebraska once
again will be in the State Farm/
NACWAA Volleyball Classic,
opening the season with a match
against Illinois State.
McFadden, who missed last
spring because of back surgery, said
the team needed to jell before that
opening match.
“Once we have a lot of time to
work together and get everyone
healthy, we can actually click.”
Health is a problem this spring.
Jamie Krondak is suffering from
tendinitis in her foot, Maria
Hcdbeck has a sore back, redshirt
freshman Lisa Avery is suffering
from tendinitis in her knee, Stacie
Maser had fluid drained from her
knee and Renee Saunders is still
bothered by a foot injury that
plagued her last season.
“I find myself sometimes in
practice just shutting up for a drill
to see how loud it gets. And it
doesn’t,” McFadden said. “We need
them to pick up the loudness be
cause when we play in the fall and
the Coliseum’s packed, there is no
way we will be able to hear each
other.”
When the team becomes more
comfortable with each other, that
should change, Pettit said, just as
last year’s team adapted.
Hesse

Nebraska linebackers coach Craig
Bohl said Hesse made a valuable con
tribution to the Blackshirts when Ellis
missed three games with a broken
foot.
“Jon’s had to be patient,” Bohl said.
“He showed us in the fall and the
spring that he has the strength and
explosiveness to be a force this sea
son.”
Blackwood

proved to 25-12 overall and 3-1 in Big
12 play.
The 5-foot-10 sophomore from
Broken Arrow, Okla., said she strived
to pitch in pressure situations.
“Coming in in a situation like that
is very nerve-wracking,” Blackwood
said. “I like to be in pressure situations
like that. 1 like to know I’m the pitcher,
and there’s no other pitcher who’s
going to come in the game.”
Btackwood said her desire for pres
sure situations came from wanting to
control the game, which is why she
chose to be a pitcher and to play at
The brute strength of the front
seven in Nebraska’s 4-3 defensive
alignment last year was the key to suc
cess, Hesse said, and this year’s de
fense will have that same kind of
power.
A graduate student in psychology,
Hesse earned a spot on the Big Eight
Academic Honor Roll in 1994 and
1995 with a 3.94 cumulative grade
point average.
Bohl said Hesse’s maturity and ex
perience had allowed him to develop
into one of the team’s leaders.
Because she played behind Utah’s
All-American pitcher Allison Andrus
in high school, Blackwood has been
pitching for only four years.
Blackwood was recruited primarily
as a hitter — except by the Huskcrs.
“One of the reasons she chose here
is because she wanted to rise to that
challenge,” Revelle said. “To me, her
hitting was definitely a benefit, but we
needed a pitcher.”
Blackwood said she had made a
100 percent turnaround from the time
she began pitching and was feeling
much more comfortable on the
mound.
“Pitching is where I’m supposed to
be,” Blackwood said. “I’m more into
the game.”
The strength of the defense, Hesse
said, isn’t just physical power, but a
cohesiveness that had developed be
tween the Blackshirts already this
spring.
“Defense is always going to have
a head start on the offense,” he said.
“But everybody is starting to under
stand where they’re supposed to be
and not worrying while they’re out
there. When we go out there, every
body is focused on making the offense
go three and out.”
