Sept. 12,8 p.m. The Crib, Nebraska Union Huskers use balanced attack to beat fifth-ranked MSU SWEEP from page 7 of us,” Nebraska junior Lisa Reitsma said. *1 think we played better last night and obviously they did, too.” Reitsma, who averaged a team high 6.1 kills per game before Fri day, was held to 34 kills in eight games against the Spartans. On Sat urday, the All-American outside hit ter had just 10 kills on 35 hitting attempts. “Lisa struggled a little at the net tonight,” Husker Coach Terry Pettit said, “but the fact is, she had an off night and we still played. “We’re not interested in her breaking records. We’re interested in winning games. Lisa is obviously a great net player, but we need to develop everyone else.” Senior Kate Crmch led the Huskers on Saturday with 11 kills and a .364 hitting percentage. Reitsma and sophomore Megan Korver each recorded 10 kills. “I like playing teams that are real good,” Cmich said. ‘It just makes us get better. We came out and showed everyone that we’re just as good as we were last year.” Last season, Nebraska was led in part by two-time All-American setter Christy Johnson, the team’s two-year captain. Johnson left a large hole to fill in the Husker attack, but sophomore Fiona Nepo has stepped in nicely, Erbe said. “She’s a great athlete,” Erbe said. “She certainly takes care of a lot of problems. She keeps them consistent” . Spartan junior Veronica Morales left Saturday’s second game with MSU down 8-5. Pettit said her in jury “changed the color” of the match. “I think she’s an emotional player and she provides a lot of that for them,” Pettit said. “I felt we had control at that point. When you change one person on a team, the chemistry is different.” After Morales’ injury, MSU, which had battled back from a 6-1 deficit, scored only three more points in the second game. With hue freshman Tonia Tauke serving, two Spartan hitting errors ended the game. The Spartans committed 29 hit ting errors and 13 service errors in Saturday’s match and held the lead just once. When we pass, we can run our system,” Erbe said. “When you don’t have the passing, it’s hard to do much with the ball. We’re disor ganized right now, its plain and simple.” In game one, Nebraska led 5-1 and 10-3 before a 6-0 Spartan run. But after two NU timeouts, the Huskers closed the game with four straight points, the last coming on an illegal hit by Morales. Nebraska scored the first 10 points of the last game, and Michi gan State never came closer than five points. Two Korver kills and an errant hit by MSU’s Jenna Wrobel ended the match with Cmich serving. Use your noon hour to RELAX!"

It wasn’t too bad. We had one turnover and a few plays we didn’t execute quite like we wanted to.” Nebraska started the second half with great field position when Warfield blocked a punt and Brian Shaw re turned the ball to the Michigan State 16. A Frost 13-yard scramble put the ball at the 1-yard line and Ahman Green scored on a plunge up the middle. Green had 71 yards on 16 car ries, leading all NU rushers. Michigan State scored its first points of the game with 8:43 left in the third quarter when tight end Josh Keur caught a one-yard touchdown pass on fourth down, aiding a nine-play, 87 yard drive. Frost gave Nebraska a 41-7 lead when he connected with a leaping Brendan Holbein for a 35-yard touch down strike. Frost’s first Husker touch down pass capped a seven-play, 49 yard drive with 1:32 left in the third quarter. The defense hadn’t scored in 17:21, so Wistrom decided to change that. Instead of blitzing Omstein, Wistrom stayed back on a screen intended for Duane Goulboume. Wistrom inter cepted the pass with one hand and took it nine yards for a touchdown with 45 seconds to play in die third. Wistrom said he had planned to throw the ball 40 rows into the stands if he ever scored. However, he said he didn’t do it Saturday for fear of giving Osborne a heart attack. “We expect this, but we also expect more of ourselves,” Wistrom said. “£ach game, we expect to improve on Our past performances. If we keep im proving each week, we’ll be pretty dam good at the end of the season.” A 30-yard touchdown pass from Matt Human to Kenny Cheatham with 11:29 left in the game ended Nebraska’s scoring. Frost said he oily had one desire in his first game as the Husker signal caller. “The only expectation I had was a win,” Frost said. “I just wanted one in the victory column, and we went out and we got it in a big way.” WtWmmfm WmmSS^MiSmL V9IOTV!lVnnH!nHPV9M9HR mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BOWLERS!
