nings pitched.
“We’ve seen her before,” Rcvclle
said. “I feel we can hit against her.”
Revelie said she hoped three streak
ing players would help Nebraska at the
plate.
Shortstop Ali Viola leads the Big
12 in hitting with two home runs in
seven conference games. Jenny Smith,
who plays First base, catcher and out
fielder, is second in the conference,
batting .500 in seven games.
Smith and Viola are also fourth and
fifth in RBI this season. Smith has
driven in seven runs, and Viola has
knocked in seven.
The third hot hitter is pitcher An
gela Blackwood. Blackwood, 2-1 in
the Big 12 and 11-4 overall leads the
conference, averaging .43 doubles a
game.
Blackwood, along with senior
Stacie Stafford, each will start one
game in Saturday’s doublcheadcr.
Revelie said she would go with her gut
feeling before choosing the starter for
Nebraska’s first game Saturday.
With the Huskcrs playing five
games in a span of three days, Rcvclle
said she wasn’t worried about the team
getting tired.
“It’s that time of year when teams
don’t allow that into their mind,”
Revelie said.
She said when comparing the Soon
ers and Nebraska on paper, the Husk
crs had a good shot at winning in
Norman.
“We can score,” Revelie said. “We
need to let them score less.”
On Monday, the Huskers play first
place Oklahoma State with the first
pitch scheduled for noon at Cowgirl
Field. The Cowgirls, 26-14 and 9-4,
split four games with Nebraska last
season.
Revelie said Oklahoma State was
an experienced team.
“Oklahoma State knows how to
win.”
Draft
Continued from Page 9
“There's obviously mixed opinion
in regard to Phillips, but one thing is
for sure. I f he stays focused on football
and doesn’t have any off the field
trouble, Phillips could easily be des
tined for greatness in the NFL.”
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said
he believed Phillips could have a suc
cessful career in the NFL, but also
didn’t think New York would be a
good place for Phillips to begin his
professional career.
Osborne said he has had more in
quiry calls from NFL this year than
any in previous years. He’s even had
some personal visits from NFL per
sonnel.
“Usually, we haven’t had a high
first round pick who’s been suspended
for six or seven games,” Osborne said.
“When there’s an option at investing
six, seven or eight million dollars in a
young man, they go over him with a
fine tooth comb. They don’t leave any
thing left to chance.”
Most NFL clubs are more inter
ested in Phillips’ off-the-field prob
lems than his success on the field.
The 5-foot-11, 225-pounder from
West Covina, Calif., was suspended
for six games for assaulting an ex
girlfriend.
After undergoing intense counsel
ing, Phillips was later reinstated to the
team and led the Huskcrs to a 62-24
victory over Florida in the Fiesta Bowl
by rushing for 165 yards and two louch
downs on 25 carries.
With the counseling Phillips has
received, Osborne said he didn’t think
there was a chance for a repeat occur
rence.
“He’s made a lot of progress, and in
our investigation ofhim, it didn’t show
any mental illness, instability, or any
necessary repeal behavior,” Osborne
said.
Osborne' and Nebraska quarter
backs coach Turner Gill have also
received inquiries about Frazier.
Frazier, who missed seven games
in the 1994 season because of blood
clots in his leg, is not expected to be a
high draft pick because of surgery in
February to remove more blood clots.
“Before the incident,” Gill said. “I
knew he was going to get drafted. But
right now, who knows? It’s all more of
a medical thing.”
Pettit gets reward
of golf at Augusta
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
Nebraska volleyball coach Terry
Pett it wil 1 get the chance next week
to do what almost every golfer
dreams about—
play at Augusta
National Golf
Course.
Thanks to the
generosity of
Harold Ander
son, Pettit will
walk the fair
ways, which
were nneu oy
Pettit thousands of
fans at the Masters last week.
“After the volleyball team had
won the NCAA title, someone asked
him what was left,” said Anderson,
the former CEO and publisher of
the Omaha World-Herald who is a
six-year member at Augusta Na
tional , “and he said,' Playinga round
of golf at Augusta.’
“I thought I should do the right
thing as a fellow Cornhusker, so I
invited him to go.”
Pettit said he was honored that
Anderson asked him to play at Au
gusta, which is nearly an impos
sible goal without the help of a
member.
“It’s kind of neat to be living in
a community where people arc so
supportive,” Pettit said.
Before arriving in Augusta, Ga.,
the foursome of Pettit, Anderson,
Ben Gupta and Bill Bak will play a
round at Baltusrol Golf Course in
Springfield, N.J.
Gupta is the CEO of American
Business In formation in Omaha and
Bak, a member at Baltusrol, is the
CEO of First Data Resources in
Omaha.
In 1993, Baltusrol played host
to the U.S. Open, which was won
that year by Lee Janzen.
The foursome is scheduled leave
for Springfield at 7:30 a.m. Sunday
from Omaha. After the round at
Baltusrol, they will fly to Augusta,
which is about 150 miles east of
Atlanta.
Pettit will spend Monday and
Tuesday golfing at Augusta. Last
weekend at the Masters, Greg
Norman blew a six-stroke lead on
the final day, losing to Nick Faldo
by five shots.
Pettit,whohasbecnat Nebraska
for 19 years, won his first national
title in December with a four-game
win over Texas in the national cham
pionship match. Pettit said lie didn’t
know how to prepare to play on one
of the United States’ most famous
golf courses.
“I’m not sure if you can prac
tice,” he said. “Do you practice for
Christmas or do you just show up
and enjoy it?
“I don’t care what I shoot; I’m
just going to try to do my best and
enjoy the moment.”
Anderson said he planned to seek
golfing tips from the coach, who
owns a four handicap.
“I should get advice from him,”
Anderson said. “The only advan
tage I have is that I’ve played the
course before. I expect to learn a lot
from him.”
Huskers to battle CU
By Vince D’Adamo
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska men’s and women’s
tennis teams will try to end their disap
pointing seasons on an up note this
weekend in Boulder, Colo.
Both teams will take on Colorado
on Sunday. In addition to their match
with the Buffaloes, the women will
battle Iowa State on Saturday.
The Nebraska teams are coming off
losses to Oklahoma State and Okla
homa last weekend. The Comhuskcr
men arc 6-13 overall and 1 -3 in confer
ence play. Colorado is 17-5 and 3-1.
The match will be Nebraska’s last of
the regular season before the Big Eight
Championships, April 26-28 in Kan
sas City, Mo.
Huskcr coach Kerry McDermott
said Colorado was a formidable foe.
“They arc one of the better ones
we’ll play this year,” McDermott said.
“But I think we’re more ready to play
them now than we were in January. We

have our work cut out for us, but if we
play well, we can be competitive.”
Thomas Wheat has been a bright
spot for the Huskers this year. Wheat’s
record in No. 1 singles play is 11-5.
McDermott said there had been a no
ticeable difference in Wheat’s perfor
mance this season.
The Nebraska women’s team is 4
14 and 1-4. According to Coach Scott
Jacobson, the Huskers’ performance
this weekend against the Buffs will
have an impact on where his team is
positioned for the Big Eight Champi
onships.
The Iowa State women are 10-12
and 1 -4, and Colorado is 10-7 and 1 -4.
A matchup between Nebraska’s No. 2
singles player, Jennifer Thoste, and
Colorado’s Karen McIntosh should be
worth watching, Jacobson said.
Thoste is coming off a 6-7,6-4 and
7-6 victory over Oklahoma’s Monique
Malan last week. McIntosh has a 12-4
record.
