LETTER FROM THE EDITOR › ›In our last issue, we printed our endowment issue, which took a look at the depopulation of rural Nebraska. Cover to cover (and on our brand new projects.dailynebraskan. com website) we told stories of towns struggling to rebuild after tornadoes, towns scared of corporate companies taking jobs out of their town and more. Here is how we found those stories, in our own words.

“The Town Too Tough To Die,” by Bailey Schulz Walking through the streets of Pilger last Februrary wasn’t my first time in the village. My family actually has quite of bit of history in the town—my dad grew up on a farm in Pilger, and the torn-down church was where my parents were married and where I was baptized as a baby. When we were tasked with finding an article relating to shrinking counties in Nebraska, I remembered my family talking about Pilger and how the town had been faring since the tornado. “Too tough to die” catches up on the community’s recovery nearly two years after the devastation of the tornadoes.

“Fourth Down” by Cody Nagel Bored out of my mind during Christmas break, I sat on my couch at home in South Dakota, scrolling through football records on NSAA.com. After clicking on ‘6-Man’ I noticed Banner County had lost its first game and forfeited the next seven. I did some more research and discovered the Wildcats did not have enough players. How could they not have enough players for six-man football? After several 3 a.m. nights of looking up population and enrollment numbers, it became clear they county was quickly shrinking. I contacted the athletic director, principal and head coach of the 2015 season, and decided I needed to make the six-hour drive to the Nebraska panhandle to grasp what it is like to live in the eighth least populated county in Nebraska.

“Sixth Generation Pride” by Seth Olson I first met Mark and Rebekah four years ago as a freshman, at a fall break retreat with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ), the organization through which they met. Mark had ‘Nebraska farmer ’ written all over him, but his passion was greater than most. His love for agriculture stemmed from his family history, as the family farm had been passed down for six generations. His burning passion for farming is shown by wanting to continue those traditions and give back to rural Nebraska. Nebraska agriculture thrives because of families like Mark’s— the driven blue-collar farmers who want to see the agriculture in the state thrive. This story is just a glimpse into Mark’s story and his future with his fiancée, Rebekah.

‘We’re Survivors’ by James Wooldridge I set aside the last four days of spring break to work on my video. When I left on Thursday, I still hadn’t found a story that fit the project. I set out for Lexington, Neb., where the city was trying to stop a mosque from moving into a building downtown. I was half way there when my dad called me from Kansas City. He had reached out to one of his customers in Denver who was from Nebraska. She knew of a couple that had moved back to their hometown, Pawnee City, and bought the hardware store to save the community. I happened to be just 15 minutes north of there when he called. The story seemed more relevant to “Map of Nowhere” than the Lexington story, so I turned south towards Pawnee City.

“A Helping Hand” by Nick Niendorf For my story, I wanted see what rural Nebraskans did for mental health care. I reached out to a number of organizations who specialize in finding help for those living outside of the convenience found in bigger cities. I eventually stumbled upon NOVA, a mental health and substance abuse treatment community in Omaha. What struck me most was that the kids coming through the facility were usually coming from up to seven hours away, often while in handcuffs. Once I heard how the facility was often the last chance for most of the kids, I knew it was what I wanted to write about.

“It takes a village” by Marcella Mercer My story was on a 19-year-old award winning filmmaker named Sam Senser who makes virtually all his movies with his younger brother, Wrenn Senser, and best friend, Jake Bruce.

I heard about them from a summer camp counselor at Camp Kitaki, where the Sensers live because of their dad’s job as the camp’s facility manager. The cool thing about their story wasn’t that they made awesome movies (although that’s part of it), but rather that their success hinged on them being small town kids. People from Louisville go above and beyond to help them in a way that’s incredibly Nebraskan, trusting and kind.

“One of the Few” by Sarah Wontorcik Mary Kay came from my friends asking what kind of stories I was looking for and I just listed a few topics, one of my suggestions was for a woman farmer. From there Janessa told me she knew Mary Kay and that she went to school with her dad. Originally I thought that FRONT PAGE PHOTO BY INGRID HOLMQUIST | DN

story would just be about her living all alone and doing all this work and I thought maybe something happened to her husband, I wasn’t really sure where that story was going to take me. I honestly still can’t believe a calf was born while we were there. As a person who grew up with slim to no farm exposure, I was absolutely overwhelmed with how much I was learning on that day. Then as I learned more about Mary Kay it became clear that she was so much cooler than just a “woman farmer” beating the odds. She’s just an incredible human being who knows so much about farming and cows, it’s amazing. I can gush about Mary Kay and how cool her farm was all day long.

“Ong, Nebraska” by Tyler Meyer I found Ong, NE through a Google search for “ghost towns in Nebraska” last year over spring break. Ong was the closest place to Lincoln, so I went there to photograph it with no idea of what I was going to find. Once I got there, I wondered why it looked as though a tornado ran through it and no one had bothered to pick up the pieces. I didn’t have a reason to go knocking on doors for answers, and Google wouldn’t give me anything either. Fast forward to this year, Ong immediately came to mind when the photo staff was asked to produce two multimedia stories for the endowment issue. I wanted to go back and see what the deal was.

In the process, I met my perfect subject, Gene Andersen, a man who has lived his whole life in the mysterious little town. Situations like this are why I am pursuing photojournalism. Making a career out of my curiosity and being able to share it with the world is a dream come true.

No bull: Annual fry supports family of 2-year-old AIDAN CONNOLLY DN More than 200 people attended the 20th annual Burr-Fedde-Love Bull Fry philanthropy on Saturday, April 9. The philanthropy raises money for a local family each year.

The family of 2-year-old Makenzie Wynegar was chosen as this year’s beneficiary. Makenzie was diagnosed with Hurler syndrome after her first birthday. The disease is characterized by a buildup of sugar molecules in the body and causes damage to organs, including the eyes, liver and heart. After receiving a successful bone marrow transplant, Makenzie is suffering from complications, including Graft-versus-host disease, a condition that occurs when donor cells attack the recipient.

Makenzie was not able to attend the event due to her low immune system, but her parents, Justan and Ann, as well as her sisters, Macey and Angela, were able to participate. In past years, the event has raised between $5,000 and $10,000.

Ron White, assistant manager of the East Campus Union Café and Grill, organized the

food for the event. Along with the bull fries, or bull testicles, hamburgers and hot dogs were also served. The food was cooked in the East Campus Union and then transported to the event’s location in between Burr and Fedde halls.

White said there’s a method to cooking bull fries properly.

“The main thing is that you want to have clean oil,” White said. “You want to fry them to the point where they’re nice and crispy, but not soggy and not burned. If it’s black, take it back.

If it’s brown, you’re down.”

White said the bull fries are popular, even among people who hadn’t tried them before.

“A young lady tried it for the first time and liked it,” White said. “She thought it tasted like a chicken wing. I love them, but for me, I have to have Tabasco on mine.”

Louie Gill, Randy Neukirch, Vernon Schildt and Craig Magnusson are community members who said they had been coming to the bull fry for about five years.

“We start thinking about the event and planning in January,” Gill said.

Magnusson said it’s one of the highlights of PHOTO BY JAMES LIU | DN

“They want to eat.”

The guys said they’re already looking forward to next year.

Along with food, the event also offered games, including an inflatable obstacle course,

a bounce house, dunk tank and mechanical bull.

Justan Wynegar said he had a good time riding the mechanical bull.

“It brings back lots of memories,” he said.

“It was fun.”

Taylor Cooper, president of the Burr-FeddeLove Senate, said the event’s turnout was com-

parable to last year.

“There were a lot of unfamiliar faces, so it’s good that we got the word out like we did,” Cooper said.

Justan and Ann Wynegar were thankful for the event and those who helped make it a success.

“They put a lot of work into it,” Justan said.

“It’s nice so many people could come and enjoy their afternoon out here.”

A woman dances in between an American flag and a flag laden with eagle feathers at the UNITE Powwow which honors and celebrates Native American graduates and their culture.

Remembrance, community at powwow The University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange hosted a powwow outside the Nebraska Union on Saturday.

ELIZABETH REMBERT DN A man in a headdress sat in a lawn chair, a ceremonial tomahawk in one hand and a smartphone in the other.

Michael Wolfe of the Omaha tribe said his

traditional dance and powwow regalia is more than just a way to win contests: It’s a way to stories.

He pointed to his yellow and black dance regalia.

“The yellow represents the south, and the south is life: Birds fly south to live,” he said. “The black represents the Thunderbird and our ancestors watching over us. When we walk south, we have the breath of the Creator behind us to encourage us if life becomes difficult. That’s the story I’m telling today.”

These stories were told April 9 at the University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange’s powwow on the Union greenspace. The powwow took place from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and included contest dancing, a hand drum contest and a sup-

per.

Saturday’s powwow was the student organization’s first powwow in three years.

“We are happy to give back to our community this year and honor our Native graduates,” an event announcement said.

The ceremony began at 10:30 a.m. with seven men beating a drum and singing as three men draped in ceremonial cloths danced and shook rattles to the beat. This is a gourd dance, said Tim Grant, of the Omaha tribe. Grant is a singer and drummer for the Southern drum group “Southern Elite.”

“These are songs shared with us from the Kiowa tribe from Oklahoma,” Grant said. “They were composed for warrior societies, and they belong to individuals or families.”

Mike Valerio, a member of the Lakota tribe and Northern drum group “Bear Cloud,” said most songs are handed down from generations.

A lot of practice goes into performing these songs.

“We all got to be in sync, and have to practice to be better,” Valerio said.

As the drum groups play, one woman stands alone at the edge of the powwow circle, moving to the beat. Irene WhiteEyes of the Lakota tribe, has been a traditional dancer for 10 years, and said she finds the drums “healing.”

“I have a connection with the music and dancing,” WhiteEyes said.

Why it’s always so cold in Neihardt’s Piper wing SARAH WONTORCIK DN For many, Nebraska’s unpredictable weather only affects them during their day, walking from class to class. But for students living in the Piper wing of Neihardt Hall, the unpredictability follows them home.

“One morning, I woke up and it was 30 degrees,” said freshman pre-nursing major Laurel Lund. “Sometimes, it will get up to 80 (degrees outside), but it’s still freezing in our dorms.”

While most residence halls on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus feature temperature controls in every room, Piper’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is different than the others. Piper was built several years after the rest of Neihardt, making its current HVAC system different.

“Apparently (the current Piper HVAC system) was ‘in,’” said sophomore English major Faith Thomas.

The whole wing’s temperature is controlled by one area. Neihardt Resident Director Amanda Orr calls it “the switch.” With the help of facilities, Orr is the one who makes the decision whether to flip the switch to air conditioning or heat. She looks ahead at the forecast to see what the weather will be like and, based on that, decides whether the heat or air conditioning should be turned on. Shortly before spring break, Orr asked that the heat in Piper be turned off because the weather had gotten warm in the weeks before spring break. When residents came back from spring break, however, the weather was not as warm as when they left, making their dorms uncomfortably cold.

“It made it really hard to study at first because you’d just be sitting there and all of a sudden, you’d feel even colder,” Lund said. “Then you’d get a blanket, and you still feel cold. It’s kind of distracting.”

Lund said she’s had friends who have gone to sleep with hats on. Thomas, having lived in

Piper her freshman year as well, knew what to expect and said she’s come prepared this year.

She said when she came back from spring break, the air conditioning was on, even though it was 40 to 50 degrees outside.

“My first year I was kind of alarmed,” Thomas said. “I think the worst thing is, when I wake up in the morning, the floor is freezing so I have to put on three pairs of socks. In five days, it’s going to be 80 degrees outside anyway, so you pretty much just have to power through.”

Thomas and Orr said Neihardt does provide fans and space heaters that students can check out at the front desk. Orr also mentioned that students have the ability to turn off their air vent. Orr said she tries to please as many people as possible, but also tries to avoid switching back and forth between heat and air conditioning. It isn’t convenient or efficient for a facilities worker to have to “flip the switch” from day to day, she said.

“It’s much easier if we can do one or the other for a period of time,” Orr said. “Even though it gets chilly at night, at least (students) know what to expect.”

Orr said she often errs on the side of air conditioning, since she believes it’s easier for students to bundle up rather than cool down.

“The reason why I love it when the heat’s on more is because, if it’s too hot, you can just crack a window, and it’s cold outside so the cold air comes in,” Thomas said. “If the air conditioning is on and you open a window, the wind comes in, and that doesn’t really make it much better.

That’s what hot chocolate and hot tea are for.”

Orr and Thomas agree all dorms have their quirks. Piper’s just happens to be the HVAC system.

“It’s a slight inconvenience,” Thomas said.

“But it’s not the end of the world.”

Rape reported at Delta Upsilon fraternity house EMMA OLSON DN ››EDITOR’S NOTE: The Daily Nebraskan’s editor-in-chief, a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, was not involved in the reporting, writing, editing or otherwise of the following story.

Last week, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department responded to a reported rape at the Delta Upsilon fraternity, a series of Saturday afternoon vandalisms totalling about $4,000 in damage and a Campus Recreation employee who had been bitten by an opossum.

A UNL freshman and another non-UNL affiliate were still in custody Sunday evening after they were arrested on suspicion of two counts of possessing a controlled substance.

Just before 5 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to potential drug activity in the parking lot north of the Alexander Building. The odor of marijuana reportedly emitted from a vehicle occupied by two UNL students and a third non-affiliate. Officers searched the

vehicle and its occupants and found drug paraphernalia, marijuana, alcohol and controlled substances, according to the report.

Freshman marketing major Michael McVeigh and a non-UNL affiliate, Grant Ellis, were each cited on two counts of possession of a controlled substance, minor in possession of alcohol, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Another student was also cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Also on Saturday, at about 3:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to Schramm Hall on the report of “a suspicious male who appeared to be trying to break into vehicles,” according to an incident report. Officers found the male to be “extremely intoxicated,” and he was transported to The Bridge with a blood alcohol content of .149. Officers found at least five vehicles with damage and shattered windows, and video footage shows a man walking through the lot throwing objects through car windows. According to the report, the male who was transported to The Bridge has been identified as a suspect.

UNLPD is still investigating a possible sexual assault, which was reported to have occurred early Tuesday morning at the Delta Upsilon fraternity house. Officers contacted the possible victim Tuesday, and Sgt. Doug Petersen said Sunday evening the report is still under investigation.

Just before 11:30 p.m. April 6, an employee working at the Campus Recreation Center was bitten by an opossum and transported himself to the hospital for further treatment.

Petersen said Sunday evening he had no other information on the report.

A UNL student reported Tuesday that while attempting to apply for a credit card, the student had found their credit history had been tarnished by two unpaid accounts which the student hadn’t opened. One of the accounts was with the Georgia Natural Gas Company from 2012 and another was a Capital One credit card. The investigation was turned over to Georgia authorities.

Yori’s acts of sincerity masked investigation Connie Yori resigned Tuesday after a two-month long investigation by the athletic department, but her sincere gestures helped cover up the player allegations.

SETH OLSON DN Moments after the Nebraska women’s basketball team’s second-round loss to Rutgers in the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis, coach Connie Yori made her long walk down the hallway as quiet as a mouse.

She was all alone until she came to her team’s locker room, where her players were already waiting for her.

Most players were eating pizza or another postgame meal while joking with one another, trying to hide the somber attitude and bitter aftertaste of the 66-63 loss March 3.

Before she spoke to the team, Yori turned to embrace senior point guard Kyndal Clark, who just a few weeks before had stopped her career due to chronic knee pain and an impending scope.

Clark was in tears, knowing not only her playing career was over but also her time with the team in general.

But Yori grabbed her gently by the shoulders and looked her square in the eye. Then, the now former coach had a heart-to-heart with the Drake transfer.

Tears streamed down Clark’s face. She was grateful for her coach’s kind words.

A week earlier, on senior day, Yori gave a long, heartfelt speech for her other injured senior, Rachel Theriot. Tears also streamed down the face of Theriot, one of the best point guards in program history.

Yori’s sincerity helped her players cope with the tough times they were going through.

Those gestures made Tuesday’s allegations all the more astounding.

When the Lincoln Journal Star reported Yori had resigned her post — after a twomonth long investigation by the university’s athletic department that led to allegations Yori “mistreated players and fostered a negative, dysfunctional culture” — many were flabbergasted because the dismissal came out of nowhere.

To any fan or general observer, nothing appeared wrong with the program.

Yes, things didn’t go as well as the Huskers had hoped this year, but fans figured it was a bump in the road on the path back to national prominence.

Could it have been coach Yori all along?

It just goes to show no one ever knows what goes on behind closed doors — the

closed practices, the early morning weight room workouts, the locker room discussions after practices and games and the one-on-one discussions with players.

One of the head-scratching situations that arose frequently during Yori’s tenure was the hiding of details of injuries.

This happened with Theriot more so than with any other player. Theriot, regarded as one of the nation’s elite point guards, has battled back and forth with ankle injuries the last two years.

In her junior year, Theriot missed the final 11 games of the season, when the team needed her most. She had ankle surgery so she would be healthy for her final year of eligibility. But she never fully healed.

Theriot started the first 15 games of her senior season, but she was benched out of the blue in mid-January for multiple games. She transitioned back into the starting lineup, but was shut down again in mid-February before having another ankle surgery Feb. 29.

In multiple postgame press conferences during the season, Yori deflected questions or declined comment on Theriot’s health status altogether.

It was clear she was hiding something, but it appeared to be for Theriot’s protection.

It turns out Yori was protecting herself all along.

According to the athletic department’s investigation, player mistreatment allegations ranged from bullying and intimidating players to overtraining them and showing a general disregard for their well-being.

This season, eight of Nebraska’s 13 players on the roster suffered significant injuries, causing them to miss significant chunks of the season. For some players, they were twoweek setbacks. For others, they were seasonending injuries.

A few even played through the pain of injuries, most notably, forward Jessica Shepard, who was having a monster freshman campaign until late in February when her production began declining.

In the conference tournament loss to Rutgers, Shepard was struggling again, scoring only four points on 1-9 shooting and grabbing a mere three rebounds. Both of those numbers were well below her season averages of 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

Her movement on the court wasn’t the same. The Big Ten Freshman of the Year was clearly hurting.

At the postgame press conference, shortly before Yori made her way to the locker room to embrace her players, the coach threw a curveball by saying Shepard had been playing injured. Shepard had been in a walking boot since that Sunday’s Senior Day win against Northwestern.

The Fremont, Nebraska, native had been battling a stress fracture in her foot and hadn’t practiced in nearly two weeks.

It’s odd it came out at that moment. Once again, Yori was trying to keep the noise of such allegations from being heard.

Injuries are an Achilles Heel to many sports

FILE PHOTO BY ANDREW BARRY | DN teams. But Nebraska’s sheer number of injuries — by far the most in Yori’s tenure considering 10 different players started at least two games this season — indicate these allegations are, in fact, true.

To any outsider, the Nebraska women’s basketball program appears to be run squeaky clean. Even other coaches, such as Northern Iowa’s Tanya Warren, have said Nebraska is the example of how a program should present itself.

The Huskers have the accolades, the prestige and the facilities that are among the best in the nation. To top it all off, Yori was one of the longer tenured coaches in the NCAA. Not many

coaches stick around at a program for 14 years.

Now, the program has crumbled, and the Huskers are left in rebuilding mode.

It seems strange that a program that once seemed so formidable has fallen to ruins due to a coaching scandal.

Yori showed noble, sincere gestures throughout her tenure and the 2015-16 season, but as the investigation has indicated, those gestures turned out to be just a cover-up.

Huskers lose rubber match to No. 1 Michigan Nebraska pulled off the upset 1-0 on Friday night, but the Michigan bats weren’t kept silent on Sunday when the Wolverines scored eight runs.

BECCA MANN DN On Sunday, April 10, the rubber match against No. 1 Michigan (29-4 overall, 7-2 Big Ten) found the Husker softball team (25-14, 6-5) looking for its first series win against Michigan since 2013.

Although the Huskers were close until the final inning, they couldn’t secure the series win. Falling 8-6 after the Wolverines plated two in the top of the seventh.

The rubber match on the third day of play came after a 1-0 Husker victory on Friday with the Wolverines taking Saturday’s match 4-1.

After a 40-minute five-run first inning, it was clear that neither team would go down without a fight.

Junior Cassie McClure began Sunday’s game inside the circle for the Huskers. So far this season, the pitcher has factored into 19

of Nebraska’s 25 victories and owns 14 wins and five saves.

Michigan’s first batter of the game, Sierra Lawrence, hit a double to the left field wall before scoring on an error by shortstop Alicia Armstrong, who overthrew catcher Madi Unzicker.

Michigan’s Sierra Romero also had a run to put the Wolverines up 2-0 heading into the bottom of the first inning.

Michigan was 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position in the inning and 0-for-19 in the series.

Nebraska senior Kiki Stokes singled up the middle in the bottom of the first before advancing to third with walks from MJ Knighten and Armstrong. A left-field hit by sophomore Kaylan Jablonski brought Stokes home for Nebraska’s first run of the game.

Knighten and Fowler also made their way home to put Nebraska up 3-2 to round out the first inning of play.

Michigan junior Megan Betsa took to the circle for the first inning for the Wolverines allowing three runs off two hits.

Betsa has a 2.63 Earned Run Average, ranking fifth in the Big Ten as well as fifth in wins (13).

In the top of the second inning, Michigan’s Lawrence and pitch runner Nikki Wald added two runs to the Wolverines’ count. All four runs for Michigan during the first two

Coach Rhonda Revelle looks on and strategizes her next move in a highly-competitive series against top-ranked Michigan. The Huskers won one of the three games.

Nebraska falls to pair of ranked opponents The Huskers missed a chance for a morale booster this weekend when they lost to both No. 15 Illinois and No. 13 Northwestern, continuing a five-game slide.

STAFF DN The slide continued for the Nebraska men’s tennis team on Sunday, April 10, when the Huskers fell to No. 15 Illinois, 4-1 at the Dillon Tennis Center.

On Friday, No. 13 Northwestern also defeated Nebraska (11-9 overall, 2-5 Big Ten) 4-1. The two losses pushed Nebraska’s losing streak to five straight matches, all coming

against ranked Big Ten teams.

Against Illinois, the lone point for the Huskers came in doubles action, thanks to wins from two of the three double pairings.

Marc Herrmann and Scott Elsass teamed up for a narrow 7-6 (8-6) victory against Illinois’ Aleks Vukic and Aron Hiltzik.

Brothers Dusty and Toby Boyer finished off the Illini with a 6-3 win against Jared Hiltzik and Pengxuan Jiang. Nebraska’s Andrew Dzulynsky and Ford Zitsch were the only Husker pair to lose, falling 6-2.

In singles, Nebraska was swept. Three singles matches went unfinished with Illinois already grabbing the majority four points for the win.

The singles matches that ended up finishing included Herrmann (4-6, 4-6), Toby Boyer (4-2, 2-6) and Zitsch (6-7, 3-6).

Against Northwestern, Nebraska won the doubles point again thanks to another win from the Boyer brothers. Dusty and Toby defeated the Wildcats’ Fedor Beav and Strong Kirchheimer at the No. 1 doubles spot, 6-4.

Zitsch and Dzulynsky also won 6-4

against Northwestern’s Alp Horoz and Mihir Kumar to grab the early lead for the Huskers.

But once again, singles action proved to be the downfall. Four Huskers lost, and two others went unfinished.

Dusty Boyer, ranked No. 122, lost in straight sets 5-7, 6-1 against Northwestern’s Konrad Zieba at the No. 1 singles spot. Herrmann (3-6, 4-6), Toby Boyer (2-6, 4-6) and Zitsch (4-6, 5-7) were the other three Huskers to fall in singles.

Nebraska will have a chance to end the losing streak this Wednesday, April 13, when the team will get a break from the Big Ten slate hosting Drake at 4 p.m. at the Dillon Tennis Center. The Huskers will remain at home through the weekend, with two more home matches coming against Indiana on Friday, April 15, and Purdue on Sunday, April 17.

Huskers take series but drop finale to Northwestern

PHOTO BY JULIAN TIRTADJAJA | DN

Junior Jake Schleppenbach slides back into first base after a pickoff attempt during a game last weekend against Northwestern. The Huskers lost Sunday’s game, 11-3.

MICHAEL DIXON DN It might’ve been the longest post-game talk the Huskers have had all year.

At least, it probably felt like it.

Looking for a sweep, Nebraska allowed 23 Northwestern baserunners while the Wildcats drilled five extra base hits and 11 RBIs in an 11-3 win in the last of a three-game series at Hawks Field on Sunday, April 10.

“It was on me,” Nebraska coach Darin Erstad said. “I didn’t have them ready to play today. I didn’t coach (well) today. That’s on me.

I have to do a better job of getting them ready to play.”

After scoring five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to cut into a six-run Nebraska (22-10, 7-2) lead Saturday, Northwestern (8-24) scored runs in four of the first five innings Sunday, including three in both in the fourth and fifth innings, to end a six-game losing streak and

win just its fourth game since the beginning of March.

Even though they lost twice, the Wildcats outscored Nebraska 20-14 and had 35 hits over the weekend.

“How many did we win, and how many did they win?” Erstad said when asked if the weekend felt like a series win. “I don’t care what it feels like. It’s a series win.”

Northwestern, which had just nine home runs entering Saturday, capped a two-game,

five-homer stretch with a pair of long balls Sunday. Willy Bourbon’s solo shot in the second inning began the scoring, and Matt Jones capped a three-hit, four-RBI day with a solo home run in the ninth.

Nebraska had 11 hits of its own, but four came after the game had long since been decided in the ninth inning -- when Nebraska scored two of its three runs. The Huskers stranded

Husker strength coach, daughter have unique bond TREV MCDIFFETT DN One trip to the Great Divide in Colorado brought Husker strength coach Mike Arthur and his daughter Rachel closer together.

Prior to hiking back down the mountain, a rock slide covered the trail. This made for a challenging trip back down.

Intimidated by the treacherous trail, Rachel

fearfully clung to the side of the mountain.

“It was scary. I was scared,” Mike said. “It toughened her up,” he chuckled.

Mike helped his daughter over the trail. It was at this point Rachel realized how much her dad cared about her.

“I think that’s when I realized he was always protecting me. He held my hand and helped me get over it,” Rachel said. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.”

*** Mike Arthur’s roots tie deeply with Husker athletics. Starting as an intern working at the Bob Devaney Sports Center’s weight room, Mike was just getting his foot in the door as one of the staples of the Husker strength and conditioning program.

With all the new women’s sports being added to the Husker athletic program, strength coach Boyd Epley needed a hand, and Mike was

the man for the job. In 1978, Mike got a job in the Husker athletic department where he worked for the past 38 years.

As a youngster growing up, Rachel recalls her father being up at the crack of dawn and keeping him up on work nights.

“I’m like the late owl (of the family), so I would always keep him up. He was always yelling at me because he had to get up early,” Rachel reminisced.

MONDAY, APRIL 11, 2016 | 13

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM With Rachel always being involved in something and Mike always at work, the two wouldn’t cross paths until late at night.

Despite the hectic schedules, Mike and Rachel still found time to make memories, especially through sports.

Mike never had a hard time getting his daughter to play any kind of sport.

Ever since Rachel was a young girl, she always wanted to be involved in some kind of sport whether it was soccer, gymnastics or basketball.

“I was a crazy kid,” Rachel said reflecting on her childhood. “I was always doing something.”

You name it, Rachel did it, even tackle foot-

ball.

What started off as just pick-up games with the neighborhood boys, Rachel found out she had a talent for the sport.

“I just remember being pretty good at football and my cousin played football, and they said hey do you want to come play on our team. And I remember I had a lot of fun,” Rachel said.

Rachel served as the team’s middle linebacker, safety, wide receiver and even took her try at returning punts.

“I loved it,” Mike said chuckling. “She (Rachel) would run guys down, but she really didn’t tackle them like you were supposed to. She would let them run by and horse collar them.”

But through all this, Mike never pushed his daughter to play any sport she didn’t want to.

“He never really told me I should play this sport or that sport. I kind of played them all growing up,” Rachel said. *** Between Mike’s time working on Nebraska’s strength and conditioning team, and Rachel playing infield for the Husker softball team, the two don’t get to spend much time together.

When they’re not fearing for their lives on the side of mountains, Mike and Rachel enjoy kicking back and watching sports, preferably the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Rachel and Mike are vested UFC fans and

can recall watching UFC 168 when Anderson Silva gruesomely broke his leg in his title fight.

“That’s one crazy memory where my dad and I were like ‘what just happened?’” Rachel recalled.

Rachel, like her father, has never been been the tallest one on the field or the fastest. But the two always make a point to stick it out and keep going.

“She’s still stickin’ it out. She’s not giving up,” Mike said. “That’s what I like about her.”

SOFT GAMER: FROM 10 innings were unearned.

A pitching change by Michigan in the second brought in senior Sara Driesenga after a sac fly by Jablonski gave Stokes another run.

Driesenga holds a 2.68 ERA, ranking eighth in the Big Ten, just one spot ahead of Huskers’ McClure.

Armstrong and Jablonski each grabbed runs and put Nebraska up 6-4 to round out the second inning of play.

By the end of the second inning, the teams had met and surpassed the combined six runs from Friday and Saturday’s games.

“I thought we made a much better adjustment today to both of those pitchers in the fact that we put up six runs in the first two innings,” Rhonda Revelle, Nebraska’s softball coach, said.

In the top of the third, McClure allowed one run on two hits with Michigan’s Lindsay Montemarano advancing home. The Huskers experienced a scoreless third to end the inning holding

on to a 6-5 lead.

Michigan’s Betsa was brought back to the circle for the remainder of the game and held Nebraska to a scoreless final four innings.

“Megan Betsa is a great pitcher and how she got us down in the first couple innings was coming at us early,” Stokes said. “I think our learning moment today is to swing early and swing big.”

The Wolverines tied the game in the fifth before Lawrence hit a two-run homer to left field to put Michigan up 8-6 in the top of the seventh.

“I thought we played pretty well today,” Revelle said. “You know, they’re a good team I thought we battled. If we can play like that all the time, I think we’re gonna find ourselves playing for a bit this year.”

Huskers sweep men’s, women’s titles Both the Nebraska men and women brought home team titles at the Husker Spring Invitational on Saturday, NU’s first home meet of the year.

STAFF DN

At the Husker Spring Invitational on Saturday, April 9, the Nebraska track and field team blew away the competition, capturing both the men’s and women’s team titles.

The Nebraska men finished the day with 241 points against five other teams. The Nebraska women won with a total of 180.5 points.

In front of a home crowd of 768 fans at Ed Weir Stadium, the Huskers won six event titles.

Junior Tierra Williams won the long jump title with a jump of 20.9 (6.32 m) placing her No. 5 nationally. She then added a title in the triple jump with an outdoor personal best of 43-0 ½ (13.12m), which places her ninth in Nebraska track and field history as well as third in the nation.

In the women’s high jump, sophomore Reka Czuth jumped a personal best of 6-0 ½ (1.84 m), ranking her in a tie for seventh place in Nebraska outdoor history.

Sophomore Nick Percy took the discus throw title with a personal best toss of 198-5 (60.49m). This places him No. 6 in Nebraska history as well as No. 8 in the nation this season.

In the men’s high jump, sophomore Grant Anderson took the title with a

personal best of 7-1 ¾ (2.18 m) on his first jump.

Freshman Elijah Lucy won the men’s long jump, clearing 24-1 ½ (7.35m), an outdoor personal record. In the men’s pole vault, senior Craig Driver won the title with a jump of 17-0 (5.18 m).

In the men’s 100-meter run, sophomore Malcolm White won the event with a time of 10.05. Sophomore Jake Nelson won the 400-meter race with a personal best time of 47.77. Sophomore Antoine Lloyd won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.05.

In the women’s 400-meter hurdles, sophomore Karolina Pahlitzsch won the title with a time of 1:00.30. Sophomore Andy Neal took the title for the men’s 400-meter hurdles with a time of 53.03.

Junior Matt Gilbert won the men’s 3,000 meters with a time of 8:34.76.

The Huskers 4x400 relay teams won the event title, finishing the running events. The women’s team finished with a time of 3:44.75, and the men’s team ran with a time of 3:12.95.

At the end of the day, junior Sarah Firestone won the javelin title with a final throw of 172-10 (52.67 m).

This was the first of three home meets for the Huskers this outdoor season.

Their next home meet will be the Nebraska Invitational on May 7, followed by the Big Ten Outdoor Championships from May 13 to May 15.

Saturday, April 16, the Nebraska track and field team will travel to Austin, Texas, to compete in the Texas Invitational.

BASEBALL GAMER: FROM 11 13 baserunners.

“I didn’t do my job; I didn’t have them ready to play,” Erstad repeated. “I didn’t have them ready to play. Plain and simple.

Bad coaching.”

Nebraska had two-hit performances from four players, including Ryan Boldt, whose ninth-inning single made him the 24th player in program history to reach 200 hits, and just the 15th to do so in three years.

Zack Engelken penciled in as the Sunday starter after Matt Waldron was scratched with shoulder tightness just 20 minutes prior to the first pitch. Engelken gave up four runs

in 3.1 innings, while reliever Max Knutson gave up three hits and three runs in just 1.1 innings, and Sean Chandler gave up a pair of runs and three walks in two innings.

“You play the hand you’re dealt. That’s part of the deal. Next man up,” Erstad said.

“Zack came out, and I thought he threw the ball really well. That was great. Just again, I didn’t have them ready to play today. That’s on me.”

Despite the loss, Nebraska, pegged to finish outside the Big Ten’s top six in the preseason coaches’ poll, sits third in the conference at 7-2, with an important road series

against Michigan looming this weekend after a midweek trip to Omaha to play Creighton Tuesday, April 12.

“I don’t think we’ve played good baseball,” Erstad said. “I think we’ve played very average baseball. That’s just my opinion.”

The loss was only Nebraska’s fourth at Hawks Field this season, and only the sixth in the Huskers’ last 26 games.

“We haven’t been playing teams that have top 25 records, and we’ve been finding ways to win. We’ve been competing,” Erstad said.

“But, I’ve been saying it all along: the level of baseball we’re playing, I just don’t think it’s

that good. I think it’s very average.”

At 7-3 in their last 10 games, the Huskers still have a series against Penn State and Michigan State in May. “We haven’t played our best baseball,” Erstad said. “But we’re going to need to going forward, because we have some quality opponents on our schedule.”
