Sophomore Peter Smith will not play for NU, while junior Scott Gutschewski will take his place. Gutschewski finished second in 1 Huskers’ qualifier during the off week while Smith finished third. NU coach Larry Romjue said the change could help the Huskers contend for the title. aeon s a guy wno piayea tor us last year, so we know that he can play some good golf,” Romjue said. “Scott can get things going really well at times.” The rest of die lineup will stay the same for the other four spots. Junior Jamie Rogers will again be the Huskers’ top golfer and a major threat to win the tourna ment, Romjue said. Junior Josh Madden, junior Steve Friesen and junior Ryan Nietfeldt round out the Husker lineup. Romjue said this is the first tournament NU will play in that will feature a large number of teams from NU’s district region. Miami (Ohio), Iowa State and Kansas are three of the six teams from the central-region district that will be competing in Indiana. Nebraska has tied Iowa State and lost to the Jay hawks this sea son. Also included in the tourna ment is a strong field of Big 10, Mid-American Conference and independent schools, including Michigan, Notre Dame and Wisconsin. Romjue said these tournament takes on added importance because of the competition. “It’s going to be a good field,” he said. “There’s some teams that have some talent, and Kansas is certainly a team that you have to watch out for. They’ve already beaten us once, so we know they’re a good team.” ( The tournament is being played on the Legends of Indiana Golf Club, which is a course that the Huskers have never seen. Romjue said the courses features 15 lakes and more than 140 haz ards, which will present some problems. Romjue said it will be an adjustment for the Huskers early in the round. “We have to keep the ball out of trouble and stay away from the really big scores,” Romjue said. “We’ll takes chances when we can, but we don’t want to give away strokes on Monday morn ing.” Another key, as always, Romjue said, will be the short game. ' “Every one of our guys are pretty good putters, so we know we have the capability to have a good short game,” he said. “We’re also starting to get into a rhythm of playing every week, so that’s helping us out, too.” Romjue said NU has the play ers to pull a victory out of the Hoosier State. “The talent for us is there,” Romjue said. “If we play well, and eliminate a couple big scorers, we’ll be up towards the top with a chance to win.” NU rolls past ISU, Missouri SWEEP from page 7 we’re comfortable adjusting and they’re not, it can create some stress on the other team.” Moving Reitsma to the middle, Pettit said, also creates opportunities for the outside hitters. With Missouri primarily concerned with defending Reitsma in the middle, Jaime Krondak pounded 10 kills and hit .600, and Mandy Monson recorded eight kills from die left side. Overall, Nebraska totaled a .400 nimng percentage, wnne limiting Missouri to .058. Pettit said Fiona Nepo - who had 44 assists and four blocks - was responsible for NU’s balanced attack, but Nepo credited the Husker passers. “It’s really easy to win and have a good game when my teammates are passing the ball to me well,” Nepo said. Nebraska’s back row accounted for 43 digs compared to the Tigers’ 23. Korver - who posted three ser vice aces and a .535 hitting percent age - filled in for the injured Renee Saunders in the back court, serving nine consecutive points in the sec ond-game shutout. Missouri stole the first point of the third game when a Reitsma attack sailed wide. But Nebraska answered MU’s point with a 13-0 run. The Tigers scored their final point of the match on another Reitsma hitting error, but NU ended the contest when Korver and Krondak blocked Maune’s last attack. The Huskers extended their win ning streak against Missouri to 33 matches and won their 41st straight home match. Soccer team wins sixth straight SOCCER from page 7 Kansas tried to slow down the Husker attack by playing four defenders and trying to draw Nebraska offsides. Uppinghouse said the Huskers tried to counter the KU defense by having the midfielders attack the goal. “We knew they were looking for the offsides trap,” Uppinghouse said “Our plan was to send the midfielders through and play balls top.” Defense was again a constant for the Huskers against Missouri. NU allowed the Tigers just one shot on goal. Nebraska senior defenders Tanya Franck and Stephanie Vacek each had an assist this weekend to go along with dominating defensive play. “We are fortunate that Tanya Franck and Sharolta Nonen are smart defend ers,” Nebraska assistant coach Megan Bechtold said. “They dictate the pace.” Against Missouri, the Huskers scored three goals in a span of 5:26 in the second half. Jenny Benson, a sopho more striker, scored on a header off an assist from Franck. Walker said the effort against MU was much better than what the team gave a week earlier against Texas Tech. “It was more of a typical Nebraska game,” Walker said after the Missouri game. “We were committed to attack ing, but our pressure defensively wore them down a bit” Huskers tame Kansas State KSU from page 8 game to put the last touch on NU’s scoring at 56-20. With time running out, Bishop hit Darnell McDonald for a 21-yard score. The two-point conver sion failed, and the game ended at 56 26. Osborne said the Nebraska sec ondary was up to par in the game, but still wasn’t in top shape. “It was better, but it wasn’t 100 per cent,” he said. “(Bishop) completed eight of 24 passing with two intercep tions. I couldn’t say he had a great day passing the ball.” Bishop passed for 162 yards, but didn’t have a great day running the ball either. KSU was held to 98 yards rush ing on 40 attempts for the game. Overall, Osborne was impressed with his team’s performance. He was extremely impressed with the way Nebraska ran the ball (379 yards on 60 attempts), and how the defense stopped KSU’srun. “We think we can run the ball against most people, and we don’t think many people can run on us,” Osborne said. “So far this year that has been the case, and we hope it stays that way. Somebody may crack us, but so far they haven’t” Peter said the defense enjoys seeing and hearing that “One thing we really take pride in as a defensive unit is to stop the run,” Peter said. “If we make them one dimensional, it’s easier on us.” Peter said the Nebraska defense’s biggest weakness is its lack of depth. The sooner the defensive backups come along, Peter said, the better Nebraska will be. “We have to go back to what we did last year,” Peter said, “and send those guys up the stairs.” Snyder, Bishop have no answers CATS from page 9 _ Bishop said, the competitiveness of the Wildcat sideline took a signifi cant* drop. “Everybody was hyped up, and then all of a sudden it just went downhill,” Bishop said. “I felt like sometimes our players gave up. Nebraska was just shoving it down their throat and they were just taking it.” The Huskers took advantage of two Wildcat interceptions - Bishop’s first of the season - scoring as a result of both. KSU also fumbled a punt and allowed Bishop to be sacked twice. “They capitalized on us,” said Ryan Young, ajunior right tackle. “They don’t make mistakes and we did.” But in the end, Snyder said, he was happy his team didn’t give up. “When you’re getting hammered pretty good like that, you have to find the character of your football team,” Snydejr said. “This is a long season. We have a lot of games ahead of us. If we’re going to stop competing in the fourth quarter this ball game, then think of what would happen down the road.”
