Huskies fail to topple NU
‘Exhausting game ends in tie for Huskers
By Darren Ivy
Assignment Reporter
Facing a 2-0 deficit and not hav
ing its leading scorer, Kim Engesser,
in the lineup, the Nebraska women’s
soccer team was put in a precarious
situation during the second half of
Sunday’s game against the
University of Connecticut.
But the Comhuskers battled back
and salvaged a 2-2 tie against the
Huskies, who finished second to
North Carolina during the 1997
NCAA Championships.
This never-say-die attitude has
Coach John Walker pleased with the
progress of his underclass players
this spring.
“In the last month, the team has
really grown up,” Walker said. “We
have played the top three teams in the
country, and given a couple odd
breaks we easily could have won two
of the games.”
After falling behind 2-0 in
Sunday’s game, Walker said, the
Huskers played in Connecticut’s end
of the field nearly the entire second
half.
“It took us awhile to finally even
up the game, but we were putting a
lot of pressure on them,” Walker said.
Jenny Benson scored NU’s first
goal on a cross from Lindsay
Eddleman. Then Sandy Smith scored
the game-tying goal.
Walker said Eddleman and
Becky Hogan did a good job of com
pensating for Engesser’s loss. He
also said Julie Greco and Lauren
Tatum stepped up and contributed
offensively.
Although it was only a spring
game, Walker said it felt like a fall
game.
“It had fast-paced, end-to-end
action,” Walker said. “It was exhaust
ing.”
After playing the top three teams
in the country the last three weeks,
the Huskers return to action Saturday
against Creighton at the Abbott
Sports Complex.
Despite losing his first senior
class, Walker said this spring has
been the best he’s seen for progress
and improvement.
“In the past we had to react to top
teams,” Walker said. “This spring
we’ve just played and competed at a
high level.”
I Huskers find success in California
By Darren Ivy
Assignment Reporter
Competing against some of the
best athletes in the nation helped
members of the Nebraska track and
field teams perform at new levels
Friday through Saturday at three
separate California meets.
Of the 16 athletes who competed
at the Mt. Sac Relays, Long Beach
Invitational and Pomona-Pitzer
Invitational, 15 posted personal-best
marks in at least one event, said Matt
Martin, Nebraska’s recruiting coor
dinator.
“For Nebraska track, it was a
sign of what we should be able to do
against Big 12 and national competi
tion,” Martin said.
Cornhusker athletes posted two
automatic national qualifying marks
and seven provisional qualifying
marks.
Senior distance runner Cleophas
Boor rewrote the school record book
in the 10,000 meters with an auto
matic national qualifying time of 28
minutes, 50 seconds. He shattered
Wally Duffy’s 1984 school-record
time of 29:22.6 en route to finishing
seventh in the special invitational
race. He was the third collegian in
the race.
“I wasn’t sure how fast I was
going to run,” Boor said. “I was hop
ing I would run 29:10 or better.”
Boor came through the 5,000
meter mark at 14:09, which is a pro
visional qualifying mark in that race.
“I didn’t know how fast I came
through,” Boor said. “I was just try
ing to concentrate on my race.”
■ Tressa Thompson, NU’s senior
All-American thrower, finished sec
ond in the special invitational shot
put with an automatic-qualifying
throw of 58-3 and won the discus
with a 172-3 toss.
Erin Wibbels and Doreen Heldt
qualified provisionally in the ham
mer throw with 186-10 and 181
heaves, respectively.
Freshman Amy Wiseman and
senior Christina Blackmer gave
Nebraska a one-two finish in the col
legiate 5,000-meter run. Wiseman
won in 16:31.2, and Blackmer was
second with 16:31.85.
NU junior Shane Lavy finished
second place in the high jump (7
4>/2) after losing in a jump off.
Joe Erdkamp, a junior from
Papillion, threw 194-2 in the discus
at the Pomona meet.
“It was a great meet for us,”
Martin said. “It gives us a measuring
stick of how we stack up.”

Before any consumer product or pharmaceutical can be marketed, it must be thoroughly tested for safety and
effectiveness. We’ve been conducting clinical testing at MDS Hanrif since 1969. In that time, we’ve become M _
one of the largest and most respected independent testing laboratories in the world. ^R^B^E JARP
