fifth game.
“We really played some of our
best volleyball at the end of the fourth
game,” Pettit said. “But we let them
get ahead 14-8 and you can’t do that.
The ball’s going to bounce a different
way or whatever, and you’re not doing
to get back in it. I was sitting there
watching that whole thing knowing
that the odds are not with you when
you’re playing a great team.”
Pacific coach John Dunning
hopes to recover from the loss quick
\4y. Stegemann, who suffered a knee
injury late in the fifth game, led the
Tigers with 20 kills and Jennica
Smith contributed 19.
After escaping the weekend
unscathed, Nebraska will play host to
its second two-day, four-team tourna
ment Friday and Saturday.

The fans were the
MVP tonight. They
gave us energy. They
were an intimidating
presence. It was
incredible.”
Terry Pettit
NU volleyball coach
Pettit said. “We were fortunate
enough at the end to serve the ball
tough, and Reitsma played big then.
But I think tonight belongs to the
Nebraska fans. They did an incredible
job.”

Holyman put a shot past
Hornbacher with just six min
utes left to go in the half.
However, the Huskers came
back and erupted for five sec
ond-half goals, led by
Engesser’s two-goal perfor
mance.
Uppinghouse opened the
scoring barrage in the 58th
minute on a pass from sopho
more Amy Walsh. Sophomore
striker Lindsay Eddleman fol
lowgd in the 67th minute. Two
minutes later, Engdsser scored
her first of two second-half
goals, sandwiched between a
Benson goal in the 73rd minute.
In all, Nebraska pelted CU
goalie Nina Bjornstad with 15
shots on goal, while Hornbacher
only faced six.
“Anytime you come from
behind and win, it shows the
character of the team,” Walker
said. “Whenever you go on the
road, you have a tougher chal
lenge. We found a way to win.”
All seven of the NU goals
this weekend came in the second
half, an indication of Nebraska’s
depth and conditioning.
“We are able to play a lot of
players,” Walker said. “From a
fitness standpoint, we are doing
well. We have something left«in
the second half.”
Walker said he was more
pleased with the games against
Colorado and Vanderbilt than he
was with Nebraska’s first two
wins over DePaul and Southern
California.
“We showed a lot of
improvement,” Walker said.
“We created a lot of good scor
ing chances and are getting con
tributions from multiple play
ers.

confidence going early in the round.”
The key to the tournament will be
getting off to a fast start, Krapfl said.
She said the Huskers want to get out
to a big lead on Monday and keep the
pressure on the other teams on
Tuesday.
“HiMark starts out pretty easy,”
Krapfl said. “The first hole is a short
par-5 that we really want to take
advantage of. There’s a little water on
the hole, but if we can avoid that, we’ll
be in good shape.”
Krapfl said the Huskers will focus
on their short game in the early part of
their season.
“It’s always a little suspect at the
beginning of the year,” Krapfl said.
“Every course’s greens are different
in the fall, so there’s some consistency
you have to build up.”
Still, Krapfl hopes the team will
be able to put up some its best scores
of the year right away.
“We want to break a school record
in the first week,” she said. “If we play
like we can, we will.”
