NU gains speed in loss

For Nebraska Women’s Golf
Coach Robin Krapfl, the phrase Big ;
12 Conference champions has a nice i
ring to it.
“It’s a tournament we can win,”
Krapfl said. “We won the Big 12 Pre
view in the hill, so we know we can
beat all of these teams.”
The Comhuskers have put them
selves in good position to make a run
at the league crown after finishing a
close second at the Utah-Dixie Clas
sic cm April 8 in St. George, Utah. NU
figures to be in the hunt with four other
teams when the tournament starts
Sunday in Lawrence, Kan.
Despite the good finish last week,
NU’s highest finish of the spring sea
son was a bittersweet performance for
the Huskers. NU blew an 11-stroke
lead after the first day, and lost to con
ference rival Oklahoma State by one
shot.
On the upside, Nebraska broke out
[>f a slump that had seen NU finish
3ut of the top five in the first three
tournaments. NU’s second-place fin
ish comes at a perfect time with its
two biggest tournaments of the year
ahead — the Big 12 Championships
md the NCAA West Regional at Tuc
son, Ariz., in May.
Krapfl said the loss to the Cow
girls is tough, but she is happy to see
the Huskers show consistency in a
meet.
“We had a good week of practice
where we were really focused and
playing well,” Krapfl said. “I thought
we could have this kind of tournament
the way we practiced.”
Freshman Elizabeth Bahensky said
the team learned a valuable lesson in
Utah about how to keep a lead in the
future.
“We know now that we can’t be
too confident,” Bahensky said. “We
thought that after the first day, we had
the tournament won and we didn’t.”
Freshman Hanne Nyquist won the
first individual title of her career with
a three-round total score of 224.
Nyquist had rounds of 71,74 and 79,
and drained a 20-foot putt on the fi
nal hole to win by two strokes over
Brigham Young University’s Susanne
Gillemo.
Krapfl said Nyquist, who is from
Oslo, Norway, shows rare calm for a
freshman who comes from a country
with a limited golf season.
“Hanne is way beyond her years in
mental toughness,” Krapfl said. “She
has as much potential as anyone in the
country.”
The focus now shifts to the
Albamar Golf Course in Lawrence.
Krapfl said OSU is the favorite, with
Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and
Nebraska all in the hunt for the title.
Krapfl said she expects that three
team-round scores of 305-309 should
win the tournaments.
Krapfl said NU’s confidence is
high after playing well in Utah.
“We have wanted to build toward
these last three tournaments the en
tire season,” Krapfl said. “I feel good
about us peaking at the right time.”
Huskers shut out Irish
By Vince D^Adamo
Staff Reporter
Nebraska Soccer Coach John
Walker’s biggest question about his
team before the spring season was
whether it could beat a top five team.
After a 1-0 win at Notre Dame on
Saturday, Walker’s question is fast
becoming answered with an exclama
tion point.
Following a scoreless first half,
Sharolta Nonen scored the game’s
lone goal in the 70th minute to propel
NU past the NCAA runner-up Fight
ing Irish. Hie Comhuskers improved
their spring record to 2-0-2 with both
wins coining against Final Four teams.
“We can obviously compete with
them,” Walker said. “We’ve shown
that we’re definitely capable of beat
ing them. It’s given the players a lot
of confidence.”
Hie road win over the Irish marked
the Husker’s second triumph this
spring over a 1996 Final Four partici
pant. NU edged Santa Clara, another
Final Four squad from last year, 2-1
on March 15.
Although Walker said he is happy
about the quality victories, the Husk
ers must stay on an even keel about
their performances.
“The crucial thing is that we are
1
objective about our performance and
look at areas we can improve,” Walker
said. “The last 20 minutes, Notre
Dame put a lot of pressure on us, and
we didn’t handle it well. It’s all a mat
ter of continuing to get better.”
With the win over Notre Dame
behind them, NU will try to slay its
third 1996 Final Four team this spring.
Hie Huskers travel to take on defend
ing national champion and NCAA
mega-power North Carolina in Chapel
Hill on Friday. NU ends its spring slate
with a game against the U.S. Under
20 National Team on April 26 at the
Abbott Spots Complex.
The Husker defense has continued
its stingy ways from last year. NU has
yielded just one goal in four games this
spring, on the way to posting three
shutouts.
Despite the hard-fought game
against the Irish, the Huskers enter
Saturday’s game with the Thr Heels
in good physical shape. NU escaped
the Notre Dame matchup without any
major injuries.
Walker said this weekend’s
matchup with North Carolina features
two teams with a great deal of simi
larities.
“They have a history of being a tre
mendously fast and athletic team,”
Walker said. “They do a lot of the
things that we do.”
Huskers, CU split two
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska softball team split
its doubleheader with Creighton, win
ning the first game 5-4 before losing
game two 6-0 on Tuesday night in
Omaha.
In the first game, the Comhuskers
(17-17 overall) lead 5-0 before hold
ing off a late Bluejay rally to win 5-4.
Creighton scored all four of its runs
in the final three innings, but fresh
man Jenny Voss (14-12) held on for
the win.
The Bluejays kept their late first
game momentum going in the second
game by shutting out the Huskers. NU
managed only three hits off
Creighton’s Renee Woods as CU
scored in the second, fourth, fifth and
sixth innings.
The Huskers remain on the road
this weekend with doubleheaders at
Missouri and Kansas.

BARTLETT from page 7
-joyed a stellar career at Nebraska,
both in competition and in the
classroom.
A secondary education major,
Bartlett has a 3.845 grade point av
erage.
In the gym she holds the school
record on the balance beam
(9.925), is tied for the record on
uneven bars (9.95), and owns the
all-around record at 39.575.
NU Coach Dan Kendig said it
will be awhile before another
Husker gymnast can equal
Bartlett’s consistency and leader
ship.
“She brought consistency, she
brought durability,” Kendig said.
“Anybody who’s done what she’s
done — it’s remarkable. I don’t
think we’ll ever see that again
where an athlete comes in and does
the all-around for every meet of ha
career.”
Bartlett, who is ranked sixth na
tionally in the all-around, will see
her career come to an end at the
NCAA Championships Thursday
through Saturday in Gainesville,
Fla.
bhe said she has tned not to
think about the meet being her fi
nal one for the Huskers.
“It’s going to be very hard not
having such a competitive part of
gymnastics in my life,” she said.
“But I think there are a lot of other
things gymnastics is going to bring
to my life.”
Kendig said Bartlett’s presence
in the gym has helped inspire NU
on many occasions.
“She’s brought a positive atti
tude that’s enabled her to continue
to improve throughout her career,”
he said. '‘Every day she came in and
every day was a day to get better.
Whether she was tired or not feel
ing well, she came in with a posi
tive attitude, ready to work, every
day of the week for four years.”
