Pettit plans to experiment
By Shannon Heffelfinger
Staff Reporter
liie Nebraska volleyball team plays
host to Missouri and Iowa State this
weekend, a pair of Big 12 Conference
foes who have posted a total of one
league victory.
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 ”

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.”
