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.

Defense sparkles
in Husker opener
MSU from page 8
The Nebraska offense had 298
yards, 184 of which came on the
ground.
“For a first game,” Nebraska Coach
Tom Osborne said, “the offense is al
ways hard to get smoothed out. 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.”
