So will the No. 7 Comhuskers ap proach these matches against weaker league opponents as a chance to relax, or as an opportunity to make make ad justments and experiment with their lineup? NU Coach Tory Pettit indicated the latter. “I’m looking forward to these matches,” Pettit said. “Sometimes, when you a play a weaker opponent, a coach doesn’t look forward to it. “But we’re practicing well and in troducing new things, and I want to see what happens with them in a live match.” The Huskers (19-3 overall and 10 1 in the conference) will get their chance tonight at 7:30 at the NU Coli seum. Nebraska is undefeated at home this year and currently battling No. 10 Texas A&M for the conference lead. Missouri (0-20 and 0-12) limps into tonight’s match physically and men tally beaten. The Tigers have not posted a victory since they defeated Eastern Illinois in five games last No vember. “I don’t know that any of us can really appreciate how much more dif ficult a 12-team conference with five nationally ranked teams is than an eight-team conference with two ranked teams is,” Pettit said. “As a coach, I really feel for (MU Coach) Disa Johnson.” Sophomore Jodi Maune leads Mis souri at die net, posting 3.5 kills per game while hitting .192. Maune is one of five sophomores on the Tiger ros ter. Nebraska has not lost to MU since 1982 and owns a 43-2-1 all-time record against the Tigers. Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Iowa State (5-19 and 1-11) visits die coliseum with hopes of defeating the Huskers for the first time in 50 matches. The Cyclones are led by Sonya Van Helden, who is averaging a team-leading 4.2 kills per game. Nebraska took advantage of its last meeting with the Cyclones and Tigers to experiment with its lineup, allow Volteyball ing some younger Huskers to gain valu able experience. Freshman setter Kim Crandall — who started the ISU match because of a back injury suffered by Maria Hedbeck— was one player who ben efited, responding with two service aces While serving 11 ofNU’s 16points in the second game. Tonia Tauke, another freshman, also sparkled in the three-game match, hitting .600 with five block assists. Pettit said to expect more of the same this weekend. “We’re going to do some things a little different,” Pettit said. “Offen sively, we’ll have some different op tions. “Somebody like a Mandy Monson, who’s been practicing really well, might see some more time. We may start in different rotations than usual ” LDei? orge directs JN U into opener By Patbick Wyman StaffReporter After leading the Nebraska women’s basketball team to just its third NCAA Tournament berth ever last season, Anna - DeForge is hop ing to help carry the Cornhuskers even further this i year. m DeForge inr "sists NU can eclipse last season's 19-10 record, despite _ losing three of DpForirp five starters. uer°rge NU can take the first step toward building a solid foundation at 5 pm. Saturday, when they play host to the Nebraska All-Stars in an exhibition game at the Bob Devaney Sports Col ter. The Nebraska All-Stars’ roster in cludes former NU stars Karen Jennings, Rissa Taylor and Pyra Aarden. “We need to reduce our turnovers and upset some nationally ranked teams,” said DeForge, a junior guard from^Niagara, Wis. Last season the Huskers finished third in the Big Eight and beat nation ally ranked Colorado, Oklahoma State and North Carolina. DeForge, along with senior forward Tina McClain, will handle the Husk ers’ scoring load early in the season while NU’s freshmen mature. “We need some depth,” DeForge said. “We have some people with ex perience to play, but we need our new comers to step up and play some big roles for us.” Last season DeForge led Nebraska, averaging 14.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. She also recorded 100 as sists, 11 blocks and 51 steals. “I basically want to improve from my sophomore season, but I’m not re ally thinking about that right now,” DeForge said. “Team-wise, I just want to go further than we did in the NCAA Tournament. But I think our preseason is key, because we need to get off to a good start.” 10% Off* aiy service (^student or faculty I.Dl) NotvaSdwi#iaryo<her offer. Coupon must be presented at time of purchase.
