1st impressions good
ones for NU freshmen
SOCCER from page 9
aren't afraid to challenge the upper
classmen.
“(In Anderson), I see someone
who has come in with die attitude that
she not only wants to play, but she
wants to start,” Everding said. “She’s
come in like an upper-year player.
“I don’t know if (Rheem) is quite
as far along as Meghan, but she’s a
smart player and capable of starting.”
Anderson, a S-foot-7 freshman,
was a Parade All-American as a senior
at Omaha Burke. As she was being
recruited by Notre Dame, Minnesota
and Ohio State, she really didn’t want
to go to school in Nebraska.
But she decided to at least take a
recruiting trip to NU, and she said it
was the best decision she made.
“When I came and visited, I knew I
wanted to come here,” Anderson said.
Rheem, Anderson’s roommate,
also was sold on NU after her visit.
And Rheem, a Littleton, Colo., native,
got a jump on the other freshmen by
playing with juniors Jenny Benson and
Lindsey Eddleman this summer on the
Denver Diamonds club team before
die duo suffered injuries.
“I had been playing with them all
summer and couldn’t wait to until the
fall,” Rheem said. “(Their injuries)
really bummed me out”
Everding called Rheem the “best
player” Nebraska has ever had in terms
of controlling the ball with her feet in
tight spaces. Her ability to go one-on
one causes of lot of trouble for defend
ers, Everding said.
Rheem said she doesn’t conscious
ly try to juke defenders, and her moves
are not practiced.
All she can figure out is that she
did foe moves so much as a child that
they just became natural.
“Every since I was little, I’ve liked
to play around with foe ball,” Rheem
Said.
Although Rheem and Anderson
are mature for freshmen, their
Comhusker teammates don’t let them
forget they are freshmen, Anderson
said.
“We have to keep proving our
selves over and over,” Anderson said.
“It’s kind of paying our dues like
everyone else has.”
Balancing school and living away
from home also have reminded them
they aren’t in high school anymore.
“We are constantly going from one
thing to another,” Anderson said. “It’s
tough trying to balance school and
soccer.”
Cable deal extended
between Big 12, Fox
DALLAS (AP) — Expect to see
more Nebraska football games on
cable television’s Fox Sports Net
The Big 12 said Thursday it has
extended its television deal with the
channel through 2006-2007 at a hefty
increase.
^ The conference said the new con
tract pays more than 80 percent per
year more than the previous plan,
which would have expired after the
1999-2000 academic year. That origi
nal four-year agreement was believed
to have been for $120 million.
An 80-percent hike would jump
the annual average to $54 million. It
could be worth even more if die con
ference exercises a right to renegoti
ate at the end of the 2002-2003 acade
mic year.
“This contract reflects a vote of
confidence in the Big 12,” said Robert
Hemenway, the Big 12 CEO and
chancellor of the University of
Kansas. “It demonstrates that the Big
12 not only offers a high level of com
petition, but it is a product worth an
attractive price in the television mar
ket” -
The package includes 10 football
cable telecasts telecasts and as many
as 12 regionally syndicated games
each year. Fox Sports Net also agreed
to expand its telecast of women’s bas
ketball, women’s volleyball, women’s
gymnastics, wrestling, baseball and
track and field.
“Tlie extension of our partnership
with Fox Sports Net means a great
deal to our universities,” said Dave
Martin, the league’s interim commis
sioner. “In addition to die significant -•
revenue enhancement, we benefit
from Fox Sports Net’s commitment to
maximizing our exposure in the
region for all sports.”
Fox Sports Net, which reaches
more than 60 million homes through
22 regional sports networks, also has
deals with the Pac-10 for football and
men’s basketball and Conference
USA for football.
“We are proud to have die Big 12
conference as a staple of both our
national and regional collegiate pro
gramming well into the 21st century,”
said Bob Thompson, executive vice
president for Fox-Liberty Networks.
