(5 pm to close) c 15th & Cornhu6ker ra ■OP 456-7564 gg By Sam McKewon Staff Reporter The Nebraska women’s basket-* ball team is ready to focus on get ting back to the NCAA Tbumament. “We had a good summer and got everything in order,” Coach Angela Beck said. That good summer includes what Bede considers to be the best off-season ever fir the Comhuskers. “Two weeks after we lost to Colorado State in the NCAA Tbur nament, we started working,” she said. With the help of John Archer, the team’s strength coach, Beck said NU will be physically prepared to open its inaugural Big 12 season in November. Beck said the new conference will be one of the best in the nation. “With the addition of Texas and Texas Tfech, the Big 12 is probably the second best conference behind the SEC. We’ve surpassed the ACC and the Pac 10 on pure strength,” Becksaid. Nebraska lost starters Pyra Aarden and Kate Galligan from last year's team but will welcome six freshmen to the squad when prac tice opens next month. “We’ll have problems with in experience right away” Bede said. "We’ll have a deep squad, but we’ll also have to move people around a lot.” Six newcomers will join the team this fall, including Renee Saunders, who has been placed on basketball scholarship but continues to play volleyball. Saunders* a sophomore in volleyball, will be a redshirt freshman on the basketball court. Brooke Schwartz, 5-foot-ll point guard from Gering; Charlie Rogers, a 6-2 forward Smith Sioux City; Nicole Kufaik, a 5-10 guard from Cambridge; Cisco Gilmore, a 6-foot forward from Tulsa, Okla., and walk-on Jill Fosdick, a 5-10 forward from Lincoln Pius X will also compete for playing time. NU returns its top two scorers from last year, Tina McGain and Anna DeForge. Beck said she is counting on McGain to be the team’s on-court leader early in the season. “Tina McClain is capable of being a great player fcnr this team,” Beck said. “We’re going to lean on her for points early in the season and may even ask her to play a little more inside than she did last year.” Guards Jami Kubik, LaToya Doage, Amy Gusso, J.J. Jurgens, Anna DeForge and Sheila McPherson, forwards Kate Benson and Con McDill and cento* Emily Thompson also return. “We’re going to struggle a little bit early on,” Beck said. “We have a chance to start off good, but we need to have four players in double figures and work on the interior game to do that.” hi conference, Beck said Ne braska will chase Colorado and Kansas in the Big 12*s North Divi sion. And is the school’s fourth trip to NCAA Tournament—and first back-to-back appearance—in the cards for the women this season? Beck said yes. “We want to get back to the NCAA’s,” she said. “We can even get into the second round or farther, but we need to mature as the sea son goes on.” Krondak attacks leadership role KRONDAK from page 9 From day one, Krondak and Nebraska volleyball were a perfect fit She attended her first match when she was in fourth grade, and two years later she was at every home match. By the time she was a ninth grader, she knew she wanted to play (m the college level. And if NU came calling, she said, she was go ing to answer yes. Pettit had a head start recruiting Krondak. His daugh ter Katherine, now a freshman at Colorado State, played with Krondak for three seasons at Lin coln East. Pettit said players like Krondak and true freshman Tonia Thuke — who has played a large role in Nebraska’s first six matches—are the reason the Huskers have been able to maintain a high level of suc cess. “This program just has high ex pectations,” Pettit said, “and one of the reasons that Jaime is perform ing well and Tonia is performing weU is they’ve been around the pro gram so much that they know ex actly what has to be done.” w " GETONUNEFORA PRICE THATS IN UNE WITH YOUR BUDGET...
