Missouri impressed with Huskers
BY BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON
The Big 12 Conference vol
leyball season is picking up
momentum, and Nebraska has
already locked up the 2000 con
ference crown.
O.K., officially the No. 1
Huskers have a long way to go
before they can tack up another
banner in the NU Coliseum.
But the Huskers must won
der where their conference
competition is after holding
previously undefeated Missouri
to only 12 total points in
Saturday's three-game sweep.
‘ "Nebraska is one of those
games where you learn and go
on,” Missouri Coach Susan
Kreklow said. “Nebraska is one
of the strongest Division I teams
I’ve ever seen.”
If Nebraska is just a game
other teams use to learn from,
who will provide the competi
tion in the conference?
Texas is off to its worst start
in school history. Baylor was
taken to the cleaners in three
games by Kansas State on
.Saturday.
Texas A&M, a team project
ed to challenge NU for the top
conference spot, was beaten by
Missouri in a sweep. The same
Tiger team that couldn’t even
muster a point in game one of
Nebraska’s cakewalk.
Nebraska Coach John Cook
said Missouri will be a team to
keep an eye on.
“I don’t know if they will
have the same results against
Texas A&M when they play
down there,” Cook said. “It will
be interesting to see where that

“Nebraska is one of
those games where
you learn and go on.
Nebraska is one of the
strongest division one
teams I’ve ever seen.”

team goes.”
Cook paused when asked if
the conference was in a down
year before saying it was too
early in the season for him to
judge the power of the confer
ence.
The scores and rankings
may speak louder than any
words. Texas A&M will likely
drop from their previous No. 19
position, while Baylor may also
find themselves unranked after
the 24th-ranked Bears’ loss to K
State.
The Cats will probably move
up from their 22nd ranking in
the polls. And KSU, the team
that was picked fourth in the
preseason conference polls, will
be ranked as the second-best
team in the Big 12.
Kreklow didn’t seem sure
that Nebraska would have any
competition this year after
Saturday’s match.
“You have to serve aggres
sively and play a complete
game. I haven’t ever seen a team
as physical at the net,” Kreklow
said. “They are a great blocking
team and I think a lot of teams
will have trouble matching up
with Nebraska.”

need. Like Sunday’s game, the
Huskers claimed a 1 -0 lead at the
half, but jumped on the Big
Green early in the second half
with a goal by Meghan Anderson.
NU’s two goals were well
below its 5.5 goals-per-game
average, but the scores came
against one of the best collegiate
goalkeepers in Dartmouth’s two
time All-American Kristin
Lukenbill.

ance,” Walker said. “It was a good
hard win on the road. But we
have a long ways to go. It’s a long
season. We just have to keep
improving."
Despite being out shot,
Walker was pleased with his
team’s defense.
“I thought Karina was excel
lent the whole game,” Walker
said. “The defense as a whole did
really well in the second half. It
just wasn’t a pretty game.”
