Defense ruled for most of the
Nebraska football team’s first scrim
mage Saturday. The Comhuskers prac
ticed for about 90
minutes before
scrimmaging in
order to avoid los
ing one of three full
scrimmages allot
ted by the NCAA.
The defense
forced six fumbles
throughout the
scrimmage, recov
ering four. The high
light came on a 61-yard fumble return
by junior Will linebacker Julius Jackson
for a touchdown.
NU Coach Frank Solich said he was
impressed by die entire team’s effort
“We had put in a lot of offense and
defense, which can be confusing,”
Solich said. “The defense has the ability
to be great, with great speed.”
Offensively, Solich said, inexperi
ence showed at several positions, includ
ing quarterback and the offensive line.
The Nebraska backfield was a little
shorthanded, as well, with first-string I
back DeAngelo Evans and first-string
fullback Joel Makovicka held out
because of injuries.
But the quarterbacks began their
battle for the starting job Saturday, and
junior Frankie London and sophomore
Bobby Newcombe had their share of
big plays.
Newcombe rushed 10 times for 58
yards, including a 23-yard run.
Newcombe led the first-team offense to
a touchdown against the first-team
defense, completing two passes for 44
yards on the drive.
NU falls short of NCAA meet
By Darren Ivy
Assignment Reporter
Saturday’s NCAA West
Regional Championships in
Norman, Okla., aroused a bad case
of d6j& vu for many members of die
Nebraska men’s gymnastics team.
The team failed to qualify for the
NCAA Championships for the third
straight year.
Junior All-American Marshall
Nelson said he couldn’t believe the
Comhuskers had failed to qualify
despite their No. 2 ranking.
“I thought we had the team to go
all the way,” Nelson said. “I still
think we do.
“It’s a crazy sport. You can have a
good day and beat any team in the
country or you can have a bad day
and be left at home.”
Top-ranked California won the
meet with a score of 231.450 while
Brigham Young was second with a
score of228.850. Oklahoma placed
third with 228.450 points, and NU
was fourth with a score of228.075.
NU almost overcame its poor
performance by scoring season-high
scores in the last two events, but the
Huskers fell .375 points short of OU.
Despite not advancing as a team,
NU had 11 qualifiers, an accom
plishment that Allen said was nice,
“but itls not why I am coaching.”
Jason Hardabura and Derek
Leiter qualified in the all-around
event while Jim Koziol placed in the
pommel horse and still rings. Bill
Mulholland qualified in the pommel
horse and vault and Blake Bukacek
placed in the high-bar event
Allen said NU will take time off
and then gear up for nationals.
“We are not done,” Allen said.
“We are going to grind our asses
because we have something to
prove.”
London rushed three times for 34
yards and was 2-for-3 passing for 28
yards.
Newcombe said he was pleased with
his opening-scrimmage performance,
especially after a slow start, which
included a fumble cm his first snap.
“I felt real comfortable out there at
the end,” Newcombe said. “On that last
drive, it was flowing naturally.
“This time around, 1 knew a lot
more about the offense than I did last
fall. I understand a lot more.”
Solich said it was difficult for the
quarterbacks to be productive because
of weak pass protection, but said both
London and Newcombe overcame it,
with “the ability to make things happen.”
Overall, Solich said, Nebraska
accomplished its goal to stay injury-free
and compete hard.
“We didn’t have any major injuries -
that was aphis,” Solich said. *1 was sat
isfied with the team’s progress and
especially with their attitude and effort”
NU still perfect
in Big 12 play
SOFTBALL from page 7
Jenifer Williams both went 2 for 3 in
the second game.
“I was very happy that we came
out (in the second game) and scored
some runs early,” Revelle said. “We
try to win every inning. We want to
get our lead-off on and keep theirs
off”
The Huskers will travel to Omaha
for a doubleheader against Creighton
Tuesday at 6 p.m. The doubleheader
will kick off a span in which the
Huskers play eight road games in
seven days.
Voss said the Huskers will carry
their momentum into Tuesday’s
games.
“A goal was to be 6-0 in the Big
12,” Voss said, “and we don’t settle
for anything less than winning. We
could beat a lot of people if we keep
playing like we’re playing.”
Men’s tennis team falls
The Nebraska men’s tennis team
fell 6-1 to 38th-ranked Colorado
Saturday.
The Buffaloes won five of six
singles matches and two of three
doubles matches. NU’s lone singles
win came from junior Joakim
Larsson who defeated Jerad
Harbaugh in No. 5 singles play.
Junior Dinko Verzi and senior
Markus Bergerheim joined forces in
No. 1 doubles play to defeat CU’s
Dony Papadia and Boris Sepesi.

Sunday in South Bend, Ind., Coach
John Walker was proud of how his
team competed.
“It’s the best we’ve ever played
against Notre Dame,” Coach John
Walker said. “We gave a tremendous
effort.”
The outcome was much different
from the two teams’ last meeting,
when then-No. 1 Notre Dame won
6-0 in the second round of the 1997
NCAA Tournament.
“The last time they thumped us,”
Walker said. “It was important for us
to give a good effort.”
Kim Engesser, who led the
nation in scoring last fall, got
Nebraska on the board.
Walker said the defense was
impressive in shutting down the top
scoring team in the country, consid
ering that one of Notre Dame’s goals
came on a penalty kick.
But in the physical game, NU
defender Heather Brown hurt her
knee. Walker said they hadn’t diag
nosed it yet, but said it could be an
injury to the anterior cruciate liga
ment.
Even though it was a spring
game, Walker said, the match will
give the Huskers a good measure of
where they stand nationally.
“Notre Dame is the No. 1 or No.
2 team in the country,” Walker said.
“We are probably No. 6 or No. 7.”
Tennis team sweeps MU
Lisa Hart won her sixth consecu
tive match as the 52nd-ranked
Nebraska women’s tennis team (13
5) defeated Missouri 9-0 Saturday in
Columbia, MO.
Track team takes relays
The Nebraska men’s track team
won the Fresno Relays in Fresno,
Calif., last weekend. The win
snapped Fresno State’s six-year win
nig streak at the annual event.
The Nebraska women’s track
team finished second behind
Stanford at the Fresno Relays. The
Husker women won seven individ
ual event titles and won the 4 x 100
meter relay.
