U.S. players taring Endicott back to NU ENDICOTT from page 1 In a rally-scoring fourth game, NU fans had the chance to see Endicott play for Nebraska one final time when she stepped in as the setter for her alma mater. The Huskers still lost 15-6. NU Coach Terry Pettit, who coached Endicott while she was at Nebraska from 1985 through 1988, said her return was a big thrill. “She’s a great person and I think our team really appreciated her return,” Pettit said. “They could have made a decision when the odds were against them getting here, and I think the team because of Lori said, ‘we are going to fight on and see if we can’t get there.’ “•I appreciate that.” The match in Lincoln was the fourth stop on a six-match tour the U.S. Na tional Team is doing to return some of the retiring players to the places where they started their volleyball careers. The tour ended Sunday with a match at Arizona. Before the match, Pettit and U.S. Coach Terry Liskevych — who will retire at the end of the month — pre sented Endicott with a plaque that had one picture of her in a Huskers uniform and one in a USA uniform. Endicott’s parents and her husband, Mark Vandersnick, were on hand for the pre sentation. And while Endicott made a home coming, Nebraska turned a match that could have been a confidence crusher into a confidence builder, Pettit said. “They learned how crisp things are at a higher level.” NU did show some flashes of toughness after falling behind 8-0 in the third game. Kate Cmich served six consecutive points and the Huskers cut the deficit to 8-7 before losing. Lisa Reitsma led Nebraska with 12 kills and Megan Korver had eight. Freshman Mandy Mon son played for Jaime Krondak, who was out with the flu. Monson had five kills and 11 digs, i Matt Miller/DN U.S. COACH TERRY USKEVYCH, left, and NU Coach Tterry Pettit joined the fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Friday night in welcoming former NU player Lori Endicott, middle, back to Lincoln. tt-— She’s a great person and I think our team really appreciated her return.” Terry Pettit NU Volleyball Coach NU hit .202 in the match. Elaina Oden led the U.S. National Team with 21 kills, while Tara Cross Battle smashed 21. For the match, the U.S. National Team hit .284. “I don’t think they embarrassed themselves,” Pettit said of his players. “They went out and competed, and because they competed you got to see the U.S. team compete a little bit.” . | UNO engineering building approved COMMISSION from page 1 Wemhoff said the only building he knew of that operated mostly on private money was the Lied Center for Performing Arts, which has an endowment for maintenance projects. The commission approved a budget recommendation, which will be submitted Tuesday to the gover nor and the Nebraska Legislature's j Appropriations Committee. The commission must submit a report every two years. Also in the construction budget report was the approval of the building of the Information Science, Technology and Engineering build ing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a project that will cost at least $37.5 miHion. The engineering building was the only capital construction project for which the University of Ne braska requested money, and the only project to receive priority sta tus from the commission. The commission must approve new facilities before state money can be used for construction. Funding for the engineering . building will include $23.5 million in state funds and $14 million in private funds over the next two years, the commission’s report shows. The state already has set aside $500,000 for the project. Construction of the new build ing should be completed in 1999. PRESENTS. . .
