Senior Reporter The Nebraska women’s gymnas tics team placed second out of three teams Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich., despite posting the second-high est score in Comhusker his tory. Senior Shelly Bartlett led the way for Ne braska with a ca reer-best and school-record-ty ing score of 39A in the all-around But Michigan’s Sarah Cain recorded two perfect 10s en route to a 39.82! to pace No. 7 Michigan to a team score of 197.3. Sixth-ranked Nebraska scored < 195.575, and Illinois State placet third at 189.9. NU sophomore Misty Oxford wor the vault with a 9.95, but the Wolver ines captured each of the other three events with 10s. Cain won the balance beam and the floor exercise, and Nikk Peters also received a perfect score ii the uneven bars. Bartlett placed second in the vaul and third in the floor exercise for Ne braska, which lost freshman all arounder Heather Brink to a foot in jury during her floor routine. Brink didn’t compete on the beam, but Nebraska still managed a 49.0 in the event. Husker Coach Dan Kendig said he hoped Brink’s injury would not keep her from competing in Nebraska’s next meet, Saturday against Denver in Lincoln. Kendig said Michigan, which edged NU for a spot in the Super Six last season at the NCAA Champion ships, competed well at home. “They’re a good team,” Kendig said. “They were definitely better than we were today. But I’m looking forward to meeting than on a neutral floor. I re ally believe that down the road, they can’t improve as much as us.” In Albuquerque, N.M., the sixth ranked Nebraska men’s team fell to : No. 11 New Mexico 226.725 to 224.25 on Saturday. NU junior Bill 1 Mulholland won the all-around for the • second time this season with a score of 56.5, and Husker freshman Derek 1 Leiter placed second with a 55.4.

Reive and Blake 1 Bukacek tied for second in the pom 1 mel horse; Leiter finished third in the parallel bars and the vault; and t Mulholland placed second in the floor ■ and third in the rings. Wrestlers win twice From Staff Reports The Nebraska wrestling team beat No. 13 Michigan State and Central Michigan Sunday to extend its dual win ning streak to five.

What was better than McClain’s offense was her defense on Thompson. Thompson finished the game with 20 points—one below her sea son average — but she only connected on 8 of 19 shots. McClain was quick to credit her teammates for their defensive success in limiting the Red Raiders to 38 percent shooting for the game. “All week long the coaches have told us to beat a team like Texas Tech, you have to have a total-team effort,” McClain said. “I’ve been working really hard in practice to have an all around effort.” McClain extended Nebraska’s lead to 11 after making a field goal with 14:02 left, but then thoughts of last Sunday’s 12-point blown second-half lead against Kansas started enter ijung»nhe mifidsJBf the ^•stormed oorofi Einafl ing. “We tried to keep those thoughts out of our mind,” said Anna DeForge, who finished with a double-double scoring 14 points and grab bing 11 rebounds. “We let the Kansas game slip out of our hands but we weren’t going to do that today. “We needed to get back on track and we needed to be tough at home, and it’s obvious we did that.” After McClain’s field goal NU made only three free throws over the next seven minutes as Tech cut the lead to 47-43 with seven min utes remaining. Invite continues to shine pEVIGNE from page 7 erybody else.” In the long jump, the Nebraska men took first and second as junior Chris Wright defeated teammate and two-time defending Husker Invite champion Joe Laster with a leap of 25 '/2. Another field event dominated the spotlight during the invite. The women’s shot put showcased five of the top six women in the nation. Southern Methodist’s Teri Steer was the only one missing from the compe tition. Steer, a native of Crete, suffered a broken leg Wednesday and missed the meet. Marika Tuliniemi, also of SMU, dethroned Nebraska’s Tressa Thomp son as the current top thrower in the nation. On her third throw, Tuliniemi’s toss of 58-2 vaulted her into the lead. Th ompson finished second with a tnrow of56-8 3/4, an NCAA automatic mark. Nebraska track and field coordina tor Mark Kostek said he was disap pointed to see Thompson finish sec ond, but was excited to see such a com petitive finish in the event. Also shining for the Husker men was sprinter Tom Fish. Fish matched his season-best (21.56 seconds) with a victory in the 200-meters. Fish also finished fifth (6.79 seconds) in a stel lar 60-meter field. No team scoring was kept during the Husker Invite. For NU, the invite was the last tuneup before the Big 12 Championship at the Devaney Center Feb. 21-22. “Overall, I’m very pleased with how the meet went,” Pepin said. “This is definitely the type of competition we’ll be facing at the conference meet in two weeks.” Swimmers roll overKU SWIM from page 7 tory, Bentz said, the Huskers made progress toward the Big 12 Con ference meet Feb. 27-March 1 at College Station, Texas. “This meet opened our eyes,” Bentz said. “It showed us clearly where we have strength and depth and where we have to make adjust ments.” Associate Coach Rick Paine said the results of the meet follow the Huskers plan of attack for the conference meet. “We have just begun to taper,” Paine said. “We saw a really nice response. Most of our swimmers swam literally out of their minds.” Huskers outlast Tfexas Tfech TECH from page 7_ _ We needed to get back on track and we needed to be tough at home, and it’s obvious we did that.” Angela Beck NU women’s basketball coach McClain ended the Husker drought mak ing a basket with 6:47 left, and Jami Kubik’s two free throws a minute and a half later gave ..Nebraska a.seyeix-pojnt lead. _ .... omo^owd^PthfeJRda' RdHfch to»ft-Wi«lfoir straight buckets, including two 3-pointers by sophomore Rene Hanebutt, to lead-57-56 with 1:27 remaining. Kubik hit two free throws with 54 seconds left to put NU in front for good. Nebraska made 6 of 7 free-throw attempts in the final minute, and forced Texas Tech into two turnovers as the Huskers preserved the victory. “First of all the monkey is off our back in that we will be riding high now,” Beck said. “It’s a difference maker for the (NCAA) Tour nament. Them coming off the win against Tfexas and us beating them legitimizes our program. “After having back-to-back losses it would have been huge to have lost here.”
