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. - - — As of October 14, 1996 BUU_L 1. Over The Top . (5-0) 2.
