Woods ro s
in Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger
Woods’ eye-popping, head-shaking
victory margin at the Masters is only
the beginning for the 21-year-old
phenom.
Woods shattered just about every
record possible on his way to shoot
ing a final-round score of 69 and
winning his first green jacket at the
Augusta National Golf Club.
And when the green jacket was
draped over his shoulders, golf
greeted not just the first black to win
a major professional championship,
but also a player of the talent, intel
ligence and discipline to achieve his
goal of being die best to ever play
the game.
Woods finished with an 18-un
der-par 270, the lowest score ever
shot in the Masters and matching the
most under par by anyone in a Grand
Slam event.

Aggies
2-hit NU
From Staff Reports \
Three Texas A&M pitchers
held the Nebraska baseball team to
two hits in a 3-0 victory Sunday at
Olsen Field in College Station,
Texas.
The Aggie win completed a
three-game sweep of the
Comhuskers. Texas A&M downed
NU 7-5 on Friday, and won 5-2 on
Saturday.
Nebraska, which fell to 18-22
overall and 4-11 in the Big 12, was
held hitless by Texas A&M right
hander Chris Fulbright through
five innings on Sunday. NU first
baseman Todd Sears broke up the
no-hit bid with a double in the
sixth.
Fulbright, who improved to 2
1, walked three and struck out two
before being relieved by John
Sneed, who allowed one hit
through 2 1/3 innings. Casay
Fossum pitched the final 1 2/3 in
nings and earned his fifth save for
the Aggies (30-15 and 13-8).
Husker left-hander Kenny
Duebelbeis (3-2) took the loss for
Nebraska after allowing three runs
on five hits through 7 1/3 innings.
A two-out single in the fourth
inning by catcher Matt Garrick
scored left fielder Steven Thiitt and
gave Tbxas A&M a 1-0 lead. The -
Aggies added one run in the sev
enth and one in the eighth.
On Saturday, Aggie starter Matt
Blank pitched a complete-game
nine-hitter and held Nebraska to
two runs while striking out five.
The Huskers, who have lost
seven of their last 10 games, return
to Lincoln to face Hastings College
Tuesday at Buck Beltzer Field at
2:30 pm.
Injuries hamper Husker scrimmage
INJURIES from page 7
Brown said, is one of the fastest he
has ever seen.
“We have such speed at receiver,”
Brown said. “All three receiving po
sitions — those guys can go. I think
Scott Frost is going to have a real good
year throwing the ball. I’m hoping to
be in the 60-percent range in comple
tion percentage.”
Frost completed two passes in six
attempts while rushing five times for
14 yards and a touchdown. Last sea
son Frost completed 52 percent of his
passes for 1,440 yards — the ninth
highest season total in Nebraska his
tory.
The Huskers lost their top two re
ceivers from last season—senior split
end Brendan Holbein and wingback
Jon Vedral — but Brown said this
year’s squad should still have a solid
passing game.
“I think the passing game has a
chance to be very good,” Brown said.
‘We’re expecting it to be good.”
Starting wmgback Shevin Wiggins
led the receivers on Saturday catch
“- i
There’s no question that offensive football
takes timing, more practice and more
execution. ”
Tom Osborne
NU football coach
ing four passes for 75 yards. But the
offense, Wiggins said, still needs
work.
“We have a lot of improving to do,”
Wiggins said, “but by the time fall
comes around, I’ll think we’ll be
ready. We made a little improvement
today, but I think we have a long way
to go.”
Wiggins, a 5-foot-ll, 190-pound
junior from Palmetto, Fla., said he was
glad the team was able to practice out
side despite the snow. The AstroTUrf
in the Cook Pavilion is too “sharp,”
he said.
Osborne said he couldn’t remem
ber the last time that Lincoln received
so much snow during spring drills.
“We’ve had a real strange weather
pattern all week,” Osborne said. “But
there is nothing we can do about it.”
Other injuries suffered in
Saturday’s scrimmage include:
wingback Sean Wieting, bruised
shoulder; tight end Dorrick Roy, in
jured ankle; fullback Joel Makovicka,
sore shoulder; split end Kenny
Cheatham, sore back.
All should be back in practice on
Monday, Osborne said, except
Wieting.
NU bounces back to beat Tigers
TENNIS from page 7
encourages them to give it their all.”
One player who has been improv
ing lately is Hart. After struggling
earlier this year, Hart (12-8) has come
back in a big way. The junior from
Sunnyside, Wash., won both of her
singles matches this weekend, includ
ing a victory over Baylor’s top player
McGrath.
Hart has also been a big force in
doubles. She teamed with freshman
Gina Pelazini at No. 2 doubles against
Missouri. Jacobson said the teaming
Pelazini up with Hart is a good fit be
cause of how Hart carries herself on
the court.
“She exudes confidence in others,”
Jacobson said. “When you are play
ing with someone who believes whole
heartedly in themselves, you start to
believe and play at a higher level.”
The weekend split put the Husk
ers right back whore they were in the
Big 12 conference race. At 4-5 in the
league with two conference duals re
maining before the Big 12 meet in two
weeks, Jacobson said NU needs to pull
things together beginning with a
match at Kansas State on Tuesday.
Even though the Wildcats are 2-6 in
the conference, Jacobson said he is
expecting a catfight.
“They are better than their record,”
Jacobson said. “They are real strong
one through four. We will need to have
a great day when they step on the
court.”
