The Nebraska women’s gymnas
tics team posted its second win of the
season Monday night with a 193.725
190.750 victory at Southern Utah.
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.
Bauman said NU’s 49-point per
formance on the uneven bars was a
key to the victory.
Senior Kim DeHaan also had a
strong showing against the
Thunderbirds, finishing second on
bare with a 9.825. 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. But
Brink finished tied for third on the
bars (9.8) and seventh in both the vault
(9.625) and the balance beam (9.3).
Freshman Nicole Wilkinson fin
ished third in the all-around with a
38.425. 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.”

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.
