emergency.
Craver, on the other hand, played
in all 12 games as a backup on the left
side to Swiney last season. He con
tributed 25 tackles, one interception
and three pass breakups.
Swiney started nine games his
freshman year and all 12 last season.
Battling through a groin injury last
year, he contributed 61 tackles, two
sacks and 13 pass breakups.
But he missed all spring with the
lingering injury, and so far this fall,
Swiney has shadowed only 20 yards
behind plays in shorts and a T-shirt.
Defensive Backs Coach George
Darlington says it’s a guessing game as
to when Swiney will be back.
“It’s a matter of when he can go out
there and be relatively pain-free and
have flexibility,” Darlington said.
“Until he does that, it would be silly to
have him out there because all he will
do is aggravate his injury.”
Until then, he will contribute by
helping out Craver and Groce in the
same all-for-one and one-for-all idea
they use when they compete together
on the field.
“I try to help every chance I get,”
Swiney said. “That’s the only part I
like about being off of the field -1 get
a chance to help those guys, and ... it
also helps me as well.”

rifle recruiting
By Sean Callahan
Staff writer
With a limited number of female
rifling participants across the country,
recruiting doesn’t come easy for
Nebraska Rifle Coach Karen Anthony.
The addition of 3.6 full scholar
ships, however, made things a little eas
ier for the Comhusker squad - in its sec
ond year of existence. _
Along with two returning sopho
mores, NU will add three freshmen to
the roster this year.
The incoming recruiting class,
Anthony said, should eventually put the
Huskers in competition for the national
title.
“I think that even this year, we
would certainly Have a chance to make it
in the top-10 teams in the country,”
Anthony said. “That certainly isn’t a
guarantee because it depends on a lot of
things. Since it is a small team of five, it
depends on keeping everybody
healthy.”
The Huskers’ main goal this season,
Anthony said, is to qualify for the
national meet.
With only two returnees from last
year’s team, Anthony said, the Huskers
tt
r^his year, we
would certainly have
a chance to make it
in the top-10.”
Karen Anthony
NU rifle coach
will have to look to their freshmen to
step up. The top shooter on the squad,
Anthony said, is freshman Nichole
Allaire.
In her junior career, Allaire did not
finish anywhere other than first place.
Anthony said having scholarship
money gave her a recruiting advantage
and helped attract attention from
recruits across the country, including
Allaire, from Kearny, N. J.
Freshmen Amanda Trujillo from
Brush, Colo., and Victoria Ridge from
Langhord, Penn., also join NU this fall.
The Huskers will open their season
Oct. 16, at the Westpoint Military
Academy. They will compete at home
for the first time Dec. 4.

low that.”
Bahensky, who captured titles in
both the State Stroke and Match Play
tournaments over the summer, is
ranked among the top 40 women
amateurs in the country.
Krapfl said Bahensky has the
ability to become an All-American
this year.
' “I really believe she can be one of
the best players in the country,” she
said. “This summer she realized she
was a great player, and she’s letting
herself shoot lower scores.
“Now, Elizabeth is extremely
mentally tough. No matter what the
situation, she doesn’t let distractions
get to her.”
Bahensky credits a short-game
lesson she took two years ago as the
beginning of the turnaround in her
game.
“I was a terrible putter my fresh
man year,” she said. “I’m getting
more consistent with my short game,
and it has made my scores that much
more consistent.”
Aside from her personal scores,
Bahensky is also up to Krapfl’s chal
lenge and hopes to guide NU to its
first postseason appearance since
1996.
“We haven’t made it to regionals
since my freshman year,” Bahensky
said. “But this year, I know we’re
good enough to make it to nationals,
and that’s something I’ve definitely
wanted to do since I got here.”
As for the future, Bahensky said
she is becoming more interested in
pursuing golf after graduation.
“I have to see how the season goes
and gain distance - and maybe I’ll
give it some consideration,” she said.
Krapfl doesn’t doubt that possi
bility.
“The play she had this summer
should catapult her into an outstand
ing senior year. Her scoring average
is certainly going to go down. If she
wants to continue to play golf, she
definitely has the talent.”

ROSE from page 9
But Nebraska Coach Terry Pettit
isn’t exactly buying Rose’s skepti
cism. The two coaches have been
involved in many classic duels over
the last 20 years.
The last duel came in last sea
son’s NCAA semifinal, in which
PSU punished the Comhuskers early
and held on to win in four sets - shat
tering the dreams of Pettit, who could
have won his second national cham
pionship in four years.
Though he said he hasn’t seen
any videotape of the Lions, and
despite the fact his team might not
even face PSU this weekend, Pettit
said he does know what to expect
from a typical Penn State team.
“I’m not surprised they’re ranked
No. 1,” Pettit said. “I voted them No.
1. The preseason rankings usually are
based on last year’s performance.
Considering they have those three
returning players, they’ll be tough to
beat.
“For the last Five years or so, their
setting has been exceptional, and
they’ve had strong blocking. But
they’ve always had great floor
defense - that’s been the same for the
last 20 years.”
If NU and Penn State happen to
hook up Saturday night, it will be
another chapter in what has been a
storied national rivalry in college
volleyball.
The match-up would not only be
a scintillating rematch to last year’s
Final Four contest but would also
bring back memories of the five-set
thriller in the 1996 NCAA East
Regional Championship at the
Coliseum, which NU won.
“Oh yeah, there’s a revenge factor
from last year,” junior outside hitter
Nancy Meendering said. “That hap
pens when two teams as successful as
we are get together.”
