Thunderbirds Coach Scott Bauman said the fifth-ranked Comhuskers were dominating throughout the meet. “Nebraska did a heck of a job,” Bauman said from Cedar City, Utah, after the meet. “Nobody got hurt, and they absolutely looked incredible on bars. (Nebraska Coach) Dan Kendig has done an incredible job; that team is extremely well-coached.” Shelly Bartlett led the Huskers by winning the all-around with a score of 39.2. Bartlett won two events — the uneven bars (9.85) and the balance beam (9.85) — and finished second (m the vault with a 9.775.

DeHaan also joined teammate Courtney Brown in a three way tie \yith Southern Utah’s Julie Grant for first in the floor exercise (9.75). Sophomore Misty Oxford, the 1996 Big Eight Newcomer of the Year, won the vault with a 9.875. Freshman Heather Brink, who won the all-around in Nebraska’s victory over Iowa State on Jan. 11, did not compete in the floor exercise.

Wilkinson placed fourth on the vault with a 9.7 and sixth on the bars with a 9.75. N.Y Giants sign former Huskier Peter EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The only thing standing in the way of Christian Peter’s re turn to football is a signature from the New York Giants. The former Nebraska defensive tackle who did not play last season because of off-field problems has agreed to a three-year contract with the Giants. Peter, drafted and then released by New England last April, signed a three-year deal on Friday that will pay him the rookie minimum sal ary of $131,000 next season. The Giants were expected to sign the contract Monday, but spokesrnan Aaron Salkin said the deal has not been finalized. “I’m thrilled to have this over with, finally,” Peter said. “I think the contract’s great. I know I’m getting the minimum, but beggars can’t be choosers.” Huskers to sign four top recruits RECRUIT'S from page 7 said. Instead, she expects to learn as - an understudy to Becky Hombacher, a third-team All-American as a jun ior last fall. Greco, a member of the Omaha based Gladiator El Pique club .team and Marian’s 1996 state-champion ship squad, chose Nebraska after wit nessing the Huskers’ immediate im pact nationally. In only its third season, NU quali fied for the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals last month, losing to national powerhouse Portland. The Huskers finished 23-1 and ranked No. 6 in the nation. Every player but Kim Ratliff, Nebraska’s first-ever senior, returns next fall. x “They’ve become so successful,” Greco said. “That’s something that drew me to the program. I don’t re ally expect to play right away. ITI do get to play, it will be a privilege.” Walker offered Greco a scholarship after her club team played in the NIKE San Diego Surf Girls Cup, a presti gious international event, Nov. 29 through Dec. 1. The tournament, played at die San Diego Polo Club in Del Mar, Calif., annually draws 25,000 fans and dozens of college coaches. NU Assistant Coach Megan Bechtold discovered Gluck at the same tournament. “Nebraska wasn’t even in my plans « I don’t really expect to play right away. If I do get to play, it will be a privilege.” Julie Greco NU soccer recruit hi ir r* i i ii ■ r n ' '■ " 1 - until 1 went to the Surf Cup,” Gluck said. “After Megan called me, I looked into it, and I liked what I saw.” Gluck never saw the Huskers play in Lincoln, but she watched them de feat Baylor 2-1 on Oct. 25 in Waco, Texas, while on a recruiting trip to Baylor. “I see great potential for their team,” said Gluck, whose hometown of Chino is 60 miles east of Los An geles in the San Bernardino Valley, “lb do this good so fast is unreal, and they’re just going to get better.” Gluck, who also considered Baylor, Southern California and Connecticut, skipped her final season at Don Lugo High School to concentrate on her club team and women’s team seasons. McCrea, first contacted by Walker after a Seattle club tournament last June, will receive 60 percent of hei schooling paid by the Athletic Depart ment and also plans to apply for aca demic aid. Walker has 12 scholarships available fen- his team, which included 21 players last season. “It was definitely something I wanted to be a part of,” said McCrea, who visited Nebraska and accepted Walker’s offer in mid-October after watching Husker wins over Oklahoma State and Colorado. “I was impressed with everything I saw, and even the academics seemed like a good situa tion.” While in Lincoln, she attended NU’s 49-0 football victory over Baylor. ‘The whole thing was pretty over whelming,” she said. For her club team, Arsenal, McCrea plays defender, sweeper and midfielder. McCrea’s high school team, Green Valley in Henderson, Nev., is currently unbeaten in its win ter season. She chose NU over USC after vis iting the Los Angeles campus one week before traveling to Lincoln. “It wasn’t really a tough decision,” she said. --- v ■" ■ The following groups meet in the Women's Center, NB Unionf Rm. 338 m 11 11,11 . ..... . »■■" > ii ii . - ■ I I j Call the Women's Center for more info., 472-2597 ■ I.
