NU freshman
works to earn
her first start
MONSON from page 7
Monson’s troubles at the start of the
first game Sunday, Pettit stuck with
her.
“As the match progressed,”
Monson said, “my confidence grew.
And as my confidence grew, my
passing improved and I did a lot
better.”
With Krondak still suffering
from the flu, Monson recorded a
career-high five kills on 20 hitting
attempts in the Huskers’ three-game
win over the Sooners. Entering the
match, Monson had just one kill this
season.
Monson credited her increased
playing time to improved play in
practice.
“The first couple of weeks,” she
said, “I came in and wasn’t sure
what to expect. But this last week, I
stepped it up in practice.”
Monson is satisfied with her new
role, even if she doesn’t start for the
rest of the season, she said.
“At least now I know I can go
out there if Jaime or Kate is strug
gling and add something to the
team,” Monson saicl.
“I feel like I’ve found a role on
this team.”*
Huskers look to Tyronn Lue
MEN from page 7
Since then, NU has lost nine
lettermen. The Huskers return just five
players: seniors Bernard Gamer and
Mikki Moore and sophomores
Markowski, lyronn Lue and Venson
Hamilton.
Lue will fill the leadership foie left
by four seniors from last season,
Markowski said.
“He’s only a sophomore,”
Markowski said of Lue, who started
every game but one as a true freshman,
“but we all lode up to him because he’s
the point guard — the leader of the
team. Tyronn is very vocal. That’s what
a good team needs.”
Lue, who averaged 8.5 points and
4.1 assists per game a yew ago, said
he felt no pressure leading the team.
“I like to be the leader ” he said. “It
makes me feel more confident”
Sophomores Troy Piatkowski,
Alvin Mitchell, Larry Florence and true
freshman Cookie Belcher will join the
team this fall.
“Our newcomers are going to have
to step up and play like juniors and
seniors,” Lue said.
“I think we can do well. It doesn’t
matter how much talent we have as
long as everybody plays hard.”
r resnmen excited to play
WOMEN from page 7
freshmen start learning the NU system
immediately. Beck said she has no
major expectations for the freshman
class, except that the newcomers play
with intensity every day at practice.
However, some may be called on
to make an immediate impact for NU,
which is hying to fill the void left by
Kate Galligan, Lis Brenden and Pyra
Aarden.
Seniors Tina McClain, Sheila
McPherson and Amy Gusso; juniors
Anna DeForge, J.J. Jurgens, Jami
Kubik and Emily Thompson; sopho
mores Kate Benson and Cori McDill
return for NU, which finished 19-10
and lost to Colorado State in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament.
Brooke Schwartz, a freshman from
Gering, may make the biggest impact.
She will probably battle senior LaToya
Doage for the starting point guard spot
vacated by Brenden, Beck said.
Another freshman who may battle
for a starting spot is freshman Nicole
Kubik.
True freshmen Charlie Rogers,
Naciska Gilmore, Jill Fosdick and
redshirt freshman Renee Saunders also
join the team this season.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Back
from the brink of elimination, the
Atlanta Braves aren’t about to go
quietly.
Spraying hits with a ven
geance from the start, the de
fending World Series champions
equaled the biggest rout in
postseason history, overwhelm
ing the St. Louis Cardinals 14-0
Monday night to close their defi
cit in the National League Cham
pionship Series to 3-2.
ine Braves silenced the
Busch Stadium record crowd of
56,782 that came to see a
clincher with a five-run first in
ning, then kept attacking in a
frightening display.
When Javier Lopez homered
to dead center the next inning,
Atlanta led 11-0 and already had
set an NLCS record with 17 hits.
John Smoltz got the win for the
Braves.
Four-time Cy Young Award
winner Greg Maddux will pitch
game six Wednesday night
against Donovan Osborne in At
lanta. If the Braves win, they’ll
start Tom Glavine in game seven
on Thursday.
The winner of the series will
play the New York Yankees in
game one of the World Series *
Saturday in New York.

Monday’s round.
“Fortunately, we’re oily two shots
back of Texas A&M,” Nebraska Coach
Robin Krapfl said. “As poorly as we
played today, that’s one bright spot that
we’re still in contention for the tour
nament title.”
