tumble
lie effort
By Mitch Sherman
. 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.
Nebraska sophomore Marshall
: Nelson won the floor exercise and the
: high bar; J.D. 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.

The Nebraska wrestling
team beat No. 13 Michigan
State and Central Michigan
Sunday to extend its dual win
ning streak to five.
Tenth-ranked Nebraska (13

defeated the Chippewas 26-7.
Against Michigan State, NU

to Kubik in NU’s run.
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

^•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.

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.”

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.”

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.”
