Vering, Snyder pace Huskers
By David Diehl
Staff writer
The eighth-ranked Nebraska’s
wrestling team came home from the
Black & Decker Cornell Classic on
Saturday with a third-place finish out
of seven teams in Ithaca, N.Y.
Seven Comhuskers finished third
or better in their weight classes. NU
won three weight classes in the event
hosted by Cornell.
Todd Beckerman won the 133
pound bracket. After he scored only
one point in his season-opening
match last weekend, Head Coach Tim
Neumann worked with him on
wrestling more aggressively.
Team captains Bryan Snyder and
Brad Vering won their respective
157-pound and 197-pound weight
classes. Snyder won by injury default
over Cornell’s Leo Urbinelli 1:01 into
the match. Snyder took a 10-4 deci
sion from Bob Greenleaf of Cornell.
Neumann said he was pleased
with the team’s outcome. Missing
three regulars from the starting line
up, Neumann had said earlier in the
week that he was more concerned
with what the team got out of the
tournament than with how it per
formed.
“I thought every single guy out on
the team wrestled as well as they
could for this time of the year,”
Neumann said. “I thought (Charles)
McTorry did an outstanding job. I
also thought that Vering, Snyder and
6i
I thought every
single guy out on the
team wrestled as
well as they could
for this time of the
year”
Tim Neumann
NU wrestling coach
Beckerman did what they needed to
do for us as well.”
Cross country team at nationals
By Jason Merrihew
Staff writer
The time and the sweat the
Nebraska women’s cross country team
put in has paid off because it is in the
running for the National
Championships.
The Huskers are set to compete
today at the NCAA Championships
being held at Bloomington, Ind. The
race will start at noon.
The team is ready to run among the
elite teams in the nation. NU was one of
13 teams to qualify for an at-large bid.
“We’re excited,” seniors Melinda
Oliver and Jaime Pauli said in unison.
Head Coach Jay Dirksen is also
pumped up for this year’s NCAA
Championships.
“I’m really excited to go because of
the improvement we’ve shown from a
year ago,” Dirksen said.
The Cornhuskers will bolster a
seven-deep roster. Seniors Pauli, Oliver
and Michelle Brooks are the most
experienced runners for NU. Juniors
Amie Finkner and Jaimie Kruger,
along with freshmen Kathryn Handrup
and Miijana Glisovic, will also make
up the team.
While Brooks and Pauli have con
sistently been the top finishers for the
Huskers all season, the Nos. 3-7 run
ners have kept Nebraska among the top
teams in the nation.
Kruger has been a key runner this
year. Last year, Kruger was the
University of Nebraska at Kearney’s
top runner.
“She has been a big surprise this
year, jumping from Division II to
Division I,” Dirksen said.
Finkner has also been an unsung
hero for the Huskers. She knows she
doesn’t stand out from the pack, but she
also know s her roll on the team.
“The only thing I’ll be doing is
catching other runners to give us a bet
ter team score,” Finkner said.
Although the team members are
excited about the race, they are not ner
vous.
• “All we can do is to run like it is a
normal race,” Handrup said.
Dirksen and the team should place
in the 15-20 range overall.
However, the Huskers would like to
place higher than conference foe
Missouri. Missouri beat the
Cornhuskers by one place during the
Midwest Regional.
“I would like to beat Mizzou
because they beat us good in the region
al,” Pauli said.
Fight breaks out, but NU holds on
AocM from page b
match and caused tempers to flare
more than they ever have in a terse
rivalry that has defined soccer in the
Big 12 Conference.
As Wilson was making her way
off the field following the ejection,
she shoved NU midfielder Shannon
Tanaka, which started a fight.
Nebraska’s Anderson rushed to the
aid of her teammate and was put into
a headlock by Wilson as all 22 players
on the field and both coaches ran in to
break up the fight.
Because of Wilson’s red card,
A&M was forced to play with one
less teammate.
Interestingly enough, no cautions
were issued in the melee, and
Nebraska Coach John Walker hoped
the fight wouldn’t mar a spirited
match.
“I know there is going to be a lot
of write-up about the incident and
how bitter the rivalry is,” Walker said.
“But I don’t think that’s the case. It
was a split-second thing that hap
pened, and I don’t think the spirit of
the game was poor. And I don’t think
there is any lack of respect between
the two teams.”
Wilson’s red card came just after
A&M, which finished the season at
17-5-1, seemed to seize momentum.
After managing one shot the
entire first half, the early part of the
second half yielded several scoring
chances for the Aggies.
A&M’s best two chances of the
match were on two successive
chances by Aggie midfielder Allison
Peters inside of the 18-yard box, but
both were batted away by NU goal
keeper Karina LeBlanc less than 10
minutes after halftime.
LeBlanc said this match had the
same emotional drama of any tight
game.
“I think the momentum went back
and forth this game,” LeBlanc said.
“These are two good teams play
ing against each other. I don’t think
they had overall momentum or we
had overall momentum - that’s what
you get when you have a good
game.”
Wilson’s ejection handicaps A&M
GOALIE from page 6
that ejected her from the game.
It was unclear whether Wilson,
who didn’t speak to the press after the
game, intentionally used her hands or
reacted out of instinct. Either way, it
proved to be a frustrating moment for
the senior, who proceeded to instigate
the game’s on-the-field squabble by
pushing NU midfielder Shannon
. Tanaka.
A&M Head Coach G. Guerrieri
said the incident made the difference
in the match. Before Wilson’s ejec
tion, Guerrieri said, A&M had the
momentum in the game and lost it
soon after.
“That’s why we lost,” Guerrieri
said.
“It’s nothing against the girl who
came in and replaced her. Angela
Barker played terrific. But when you
lose a big impact player like Melanie
(Wilson) on a caution, and when
you’re playing a man down, (the dif
ference in the game) was obvious.”
NU goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc,
who faced a similar situation to
Wilson’s when she was ejected from a
game with UCLA last season, offered
sympathy for Wilson on the play.
“It’s definitely instinct,” LeBlanc
said. “I don’t think you would inten
tionally want to get a red card. I think
she just reacted, and I feel for her.”

SWT _ ZNG from page 6
in tiie Sprint Classic, recording the 12th
fastest time in the world this season after
posting a 55.90 marie in the 100-meter
freestyle.
She says the hard work in practice
paid off this weekend.
“We’re brought to tears by how hard
we work about every day in practice,”
Muller said. “Definitely, there is a lot of
room for improvement, though ”
Muller was backed in scoring by
her teammates who helped push
Nebraska away from the competition.
