Golfers set school records
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska women’s golf team
fired a school-record 296 Monday in
College Station, Texas, to take a com
manding lead in the first-ever Big 12
Preview.
The Cornhuskers followed
Sunday’s round of 300 with the new
record, which beat the old mark of 297
by (me stroke. The Huskers lead Mis
souri by 25 strokes heading into the
final day of competition.
Individually, NU has been led by
Shinn Homecker and Hanne Nyquist.
Nyquist, a freshman from Oslo, Nor
way, shot a 33 on the back nine Mon
day for a round of 70, which tied the
school record held by Heidi Wall and
Shelly Godeken.
“Hanne has shown a lot of ability,”
Husker Coach Robin Krapfl said. “She
just hasn’t been able to hit some putts.
But everything finally came together
for her.”
Nyquist and Homecker, who are
tied at 147 after two days, lead
Stephanie Mitchell of Missouri and
Gwynn Shepherd of Iowa State by one
stroke. Nebraska’s Rachelle Tacha is
tied for fifth with a serve of 150.
Other Huskers include Melissa
Becker (25th at 159), Gretchen Doerr
(31st at 160), Elizabeth Bahensky (51 st
at 164) and Denise Woodard (54th at
166).
The tournament’s final round will
begin today at 8 ajn. on the par-72
Pebble Creek Club Golf Course.
“The main thing for us will be to
go out and just play the course and not
worry about who’s in front of us or
who’s in back of us.”
Battle Creek lineman commits
VOLK from page 7
Recruits cannot sign letters of in
tent until February.
The 6-foot-5,275-pound Volk, who
plays left tackle on offense and defen
sive end, has helped Class C-l Battle
Creek to a 5-0 start this season.
Against Stanton last Friday, Volk
blocked his second punt of the Season
and returned it for a touchdown, help
ing Battle Creek to a 39-6 victory.
“He just keeps getting better every
game,” Battle Creek Coach Bob
Schnitzler said. “He’s getting quicker
and faster. I definitely feel very high
about his chances ofbeing a great foot
ball player.”
Until Monday, Volk said, he had not
received offers from any other schools.
But just before Osborne called him
back, Volk said, he received a scholar
ship offer from Kansas State.
“I didn’t really say anything,” Volk
said. “I’m going to have to tell them
lata*. I guess it was kind of a bad-tim
ing deal.”
Volk said he has attended each Ne
braska home game this season by invi
tation from the NU coaches. The po
tential recrufts were allowed on the
field during pregame warmups—dur
inj^vfochjtime Volk was able to talk
“He’s a real nice guy,” Volk said.
“Quiet, but he’s real nice.”
Schnitzler has been impressed with
the improvement Volk has made since
June, when the longtime Battle Creek
coach said \blk “made a commitment
to play college football.”
Not only has Vblk put on 35 pounds
in the past four months, but he has in
creased his bench press 40 pounds to
300.
Schnitzler said he would not be sur
prised if Yolk gained 25 more pounds
by the time his college career is com
plete.
“The kid has always had an awe
some frame,” Schnitzler said. *He re
ally feels good about himself. He’s just
going to blossom.”
Yolk, who ran a 5.5-second 40-yard
dash at Nebraska’s football camp in
June, said the coaches did not specify
if he would play offensive or defen
sive line.
“I’m going to redshirt for sure,”
Volk said. “You almost have to redshirt
if you’re a lineman.”
Nebraska junior guard Matt
Hoskinson, also from Battle Oeek, has
kept in contact with Volk and aided his
decision.
“He basically has just been talking
to me and telling me what the coaches
have been saying,” Volk said.
Volk scored a 28 on his ACT and
has qualified academically with a 2.9
grade-point average.
“Academically he’s very strong,”
Schnitzler said. “Basically, I’d say he’s
a good all-around kid.”
EVANS from page 7
to start.
Benning returned to practice Mon
day after missing Saturday's game with
a groin injury. Green, who suffered a
toe sprain in the third quarter against
the Cats, is listed as doubtful for the
Baylor game.
Evans, a 5-foot-9,210-pounder, has
been impressive since the start of fall
camp, Running Backs Coach Frank
Solichsaid.
“He picked up our offense as quick
as anybody that I’ve ever coached,”
Solicit said. “He's got great toughness
about him. He’s got great instincts and
great cutting ability, and he's a strong,
powerful, low-to-the-ground-type run
ner.
“I knew he would have to have a
pretty good day if we were going to
move the ball against them.”
Before Saturday, Evans had seven
carries for 74 yards, 72 of which came
against Colorado State. He sewed his
first career touchdown on a 30-yard
touchdown in the fourth quarter against
the Rams.
Fw the season, Evans has 28 car
ries for 242 yards and three touch
downs. His 8.6 yards-per-carry aver
age leads the team.
Evans’ high school numbers had
both Husker fans and college coaches
drooling over his ability. In 47 games
at Collegiate High School, he rushed
for 8,473 yards—fourth nationally all
time —fw an average of 206.7 yards
per game. His 131 touchdowns rank
third nationally.
Those numbers could have been
higher, but he missed six games of his
senior season with an ankle injury.
Evans has been compared to former
Wichita high school star, Oklahoma
State tailback and current Detroit Li
ons’ all-pro Barry Sanders.
But with that comparison have
come a lot of questions. Evans said
many wondered if could be as success
ful in college as he was in high school.
“A lot of people had doubts about
me being able to play at this level,”
Evans said. “There were so many
people saying, 'DeAngelo can’t take a
hit, Or he can’t do this.’ But when I
came to Nebraska this summer, I told
myself I was going to make a believer
out of everybody.
“Playing well was like taking a
1,000-pound weight off my shoulders.”
Solich said he was comfortable ask
ing a freshman to play such a major
role.
Evans is comfortable, too.
“I still have a lot to learn,” he said.
“But I think I will learn by experience.
I think I’ll be ready with the help of
other people.”

Throughout four games, Davis has car
ried the ball 149 times for 917 yards
and 12 touchdowns. He leads the na
tion, averaging 229.3 yards per game.
in ISU’s last two games, Davis car
ried the ball 94 times and quarterback
Tbdd Doxzon connected on 60 percent
of his passes. f|
“The word Heisman has not come
up in any conversation I’ve had with
him,” McCamey said of Davis, who
ran for 2,010 yards and finished fifth
in the Heisman voting.
“He’s definitely helped bring some
national exposure to this program,”
McCamey said.
Texas A&M Coach R.C. Slocum
said Davis is an exciting running back.
“He’s a fantastic player ” Slocum
said. “He is fun to watch —-except
when you play him.” fr4"
