LETTER FROM THE EDITOR The basketball hoop sticking up from my parents’ driveway was meant to be mine. The thing about basketball though, it’s not as fun to play by yourself.

So my sister, Grace, became my competition in years of knockout, around the world and P-I-G games.

Playing somebody four years younger than me had its advantages. I was taller than her. I was faster than her. I could bend the rules in my favor. And shocker, I almost always won.

Playing with Grace has since lost its perks. She is now 5-foot-6, which is also my height. She shoots baskets every day. She conditions. Now the only way I can win is by fouling, which my parents scold me for because they don’t want her to get injured.

I’ve become okay with losing, considering the player she’s become since the days of playing in our driveway. She is in her final year of playing varsity basketball for Lincoln East High School. Next year, she will be playing Division II college basketball for the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Thursday night, I left work at The Daily Nebraskan early to go to her final game at East High. My dad left $5 at the entrance so I wouldn’t have to pay to get in. Walking into the old gym, with its blue accent color and fluorescent lighting, I became very nervous for her. This game decided if the team went to state or not, a dream my sister and her teammates have been chasing since they started high school.

Per usual, I was running late, so the game had already started and East was down by six points.

The spark happened at the end of the first quarter. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I have never seen the East student section erupt with such fire and I knew that the game was already over. My sister’s team was going to win. They tied the score with seconds left in the first quarter and the momentum didn’t stop until we were sitting at Lazlo’s after the game. don’t know who is going to use my basketball hoop after my sister graduates in May, but after the game my sister ran up to me, gave me a hug and said, “We did it!” At first, I assumed she was referring to her team. That is

until she said: “This is what we were talking about in the driveway. And now we did it, and my team is going to state.”

My sister is my best friend. She is playing in the state basketball tournament this Thursday. I have never been more proud of anybody in my life.

Chinese-born student compares life abroad PHOTO BY ANDREW BARRY | DN

Life is vastly different for UNL student Jake Schulman in the United States than it was in his native China.

Jake Schulman was born in Hong Kong, China and lived in Shanghai for the first 13 years of his life. He now studies advertising and public relations at the University of NebraskaLincoln.

SARAH WONTORCIK DN With red hair and pale skin, many find it hard to believe that Jake is Chinese.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Shanghai, University of Nebraska-Lincoln freshman advertising and public relations major Jake Schulman moved more than 6,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean to Silverthorne, Colorado, when he was 13 years old. His parents, Susan and David Schulman, had moved to China 20 years prior to pursue careers at the Ritz Carlton Multi-Use Complex in Shanghai, where Jake’s grandfather was the head architect.

“Moving (to Colorado) was super different because Shanghai, the population there is like 14 million people or something crazy,” Jake Schulman said. “It’s a big city, super big downtown. Then I moved back to Colorado and the town I live in has a population of around 5,000. That was a huge transition.”

Susan said she thought the move back to the U.S. was more difficult than the move to Shanghai.

“This was primarily because I was the one who had to look for a new job and also because I had two middle school-aged kids who had never lived in the U.S. before,” Susan Schulman said. “The transition in moving to China was not difficult. I had lived in China and Europe as a child with my parents,

On Thursday, Feb. 25, about 7:15 p.m., an officer was dispatched to respond to a disturbance call. The student was leaving the University of NebraskaLincoln’s Law College when a man wearing a navy hoodie with the hood up and dark cargo pants ran at her. The student made it safely to her car and was able to drive away.

Officers were called to Love Library South on Wednesday, Feb. 24 about 6:50 a.m. to respond to a man unaffiliated with the university. The officers escorted him out of the building and issued a UNL trespass policy letter about being in the library when it was closed.

About 12:20 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 26, a UNL student Sidney Roessler, 19, was stopped because she was seen driving without headlights on. Roessler was found to have a BAC of 0.085. She was arrested and taken to The Bridge.

A probable cause search of her car resulted in a bag containing alcohol and two road signs belonging to the city of Kearney. Roessler was cited for driving at night without headlights, minor in controlled possession of a controlled substance, driving while intoxicated with a BAC under .150 and possession of stolen property. A 20-year-old passenger admitted to being at a party and was found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.120. She was cited with a MIP and released.

On Saturday, Feb. 27, at about 1:30 a.m., officers contacted non-UNL affiliate Daniel Vermeer, 33, after he was seen pulling on door handles and bikes on UNL East Campus. He was arrested and lodged on suspicion of possession of burglar’s tools. He remained in custody as of late Sunday evening.

About 1:13 a.m. on Feb. 28, officers were called to the Eastside Suites for a report of a burnt marijuana smell in the hallway. A consent search resulted in drug paraphernalia and less than an ounce of marijuana. The student was cited and released for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Brett Dettmer said some things can become barriers when trying to move around campus in his motorized wheelchair.

Challenges for students with disabilities remain About eight students regularly use wheelchairs on campus. Campus accessibility has improved but issues linger.

MARCELLA MERCER DN University of Nebraska-Lincoln sophomore Brett Dettmer begins his commute from the Latitude apartments on S. 11th St. He heads away from home, navigating crosswalks and puddles on the pavement. His motorized wheelchair whirs as it guides him to his des-

tinations – French class, the movie theater or Husker basketball games.

His chair is built for his travels and to withstand the elements. But there are some things that even a good chair can’t do.

Large cracks in the sidewalk are a problem for the wheels. Snowy weather is a disaster.

Dettmer is used to facing these issues, he said. At 3 years old, a doctor diagnosed him with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes muscles to gradually weaken. In fourth grade, Dettmer started to use a wheelchair and has used one ever since.

In many ways, Dettmer is a typical, football-loving student. A native Nebraskan from Syracuse, Dettmer said he knew he wanted to go to UNL. “I guess I’ve really been a Husker fan for

a long time,” he said. “I kind of just wanted to be a Husker.”

He studies advertising and public relations and broadcasting in hopes of one day announcing sports in a stadium or discussing play-by-plays on the radio. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he can often be found at the Marcus Lincoln Grand Cinema at the $5 shows. His free time is spent attending athletic events, hanging out with his family and playing Call of Duty.

Still, there are aspects to Dettmer ’s life that most students have to consider. Only about eight UNL students regularly use wheelchairs according to Veva Cheney, the director of Services for Students with Disabilities.

“When we walk across campus, we don’t think, where is the curb cut?” she said. “Get-

ting into class, the other students go, ‘Well, I go right in this building and up the steps.’

(Students in wheelchairs) have to go in another way to get into accessible access.”

UNL has a history of being wheelchair accessible, Cheney said. In 1989, the office for students with disabilities began with a grant to specifically serve the needs of students in wheelchairs.

“At that time, we had a great deal of students in wheelchairs because most campuses weren’t accessible,” she said. “More campuses are accessible (now), but back then there weren’t a lot of choices.”

The office has since expanded to assist students with all disabilities, but students in wheelchairs can still use it as a resource.

UNL students create online farm marketplace FarmAfield connects farmers and people to agriculture.

Users can invest in animals and reap the rewards.

SARAH WONTORCIK DN When University of Nebraska-Lincoln senior agribusiness major Brennan Costello saw a poster for the Thought For Food Challenge, and decided to apply for it, he didn’t think much of it.

Costello is one of four who are part of the FarmAfield team. Working with Costello, FarmAfield was created by Matt Foley, a junior economics and management major; Andrew Minarick, a sophomore biosystems engineering major; and Mitch Minarick, a research assistant professor in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering.

“It was kind of on the side,” Foley said.

“We have our meetings (in the basement of the Newman Center) and one morning Brennan was like, ‘oh, by the way, I applied for this thing.’ Then a couple months later we hear we’re going to Switzerland.”

The Thought For Food Challenge is an annual competition where university students from all around the world submit various solutions for feeding the growing population of the world. Thought For Food defines itself as “a movement dedicated to tackling the global challenge of feeding 9-plus billion people through bold, breakthrough solutions.”

In the challenge, ten teams are selected by a panel of judges. This year, the Thought For Food Challenge had more than 400 participating teams from 105 countries; FarmAfield was among the ten projects chosen as finalists. With this, the team will travel, all expenses paid, to Zurich, Switzerland, for the cattle are ready to go to the market, the invesThought For Food Global Summit in early tor and the farmer will share in the return.

Costello said that customers will be able to “I think the two biggest things that we receive updates on how the animals they’ve will get out of (going to the summit) is, invested in are doing. He also said that they one, obviously the exposure as we’re trying hope to expand their investment options to to build our brand name and also building include chickens, hogs, grain farmers, vega customer base,” Foley said. “But also just etable farmers, etc. the global integration of ideas.

that he could solve that problem,” Costello said. “So he came up with this idea of people (investing) in them, instead of just giving them money, actually investing in them so they have to get something back at the end of the year.”

The overall goal for FarmAfield is to eventually expand into a global marketplace where customers from all around the world can invest in farms all around the world.

Costello said one of their goals with FarmAfield is to help farmers with a new source of capital they didn’t have before, and one that won’t add additional debt to operating loans. He also thinks this will help customers have a better understanding of what is in their food.

“We can get more people involved and we can close the gap between farmers, where the food comes from, and consumers not knowing where their food comes from,” Costello said. “I think there’s a big food debate going on right now in the United States, whether it’s GMO, large scale, local or organic. All in all I think people want to know about their food. I think this is a tool to help bring them a little bit closer.”

Costello also believes that FarmAfield will allow customers to learn more about ag-

riculture as a whole.

“Matt (Foley), here, is a city kid from Lincoln,” Costello said. “I don’t know if he’s ever been on a farm, but he’s learned a lot about agriculture working through this.

That’s similar to what we want to happen on the app or the website. You’ll be able to get connected to agriculture, you’ll understand more about how beef is raised, where that hamburger came from. Who are the people behind raising those animals, the farmers out there?”

Costello said user can see and meet them, as well as learn more about agriculture.

“I really like this because a lot of people don’t understand investment,” he continued.

“I don’t understand stocks so investment is kind of a weird word, but this, you actually get to invest in a real animal in a group of cattle, so you’ll get that real connection. It is an emotional tie, you get to impact agriculture and have a say in where your food is coming from, but you also get something tangible and make a little bit of money out of it too.”

CB3 researcher: Not so fast on CTE, concussion link The director of clinical research at UNL’s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior cautions against connecting the two.

NOAH JOHNSON DN

The Center for Disease Control estimates that there will be approximately 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions each year, with 78 percent of these concussions from sports-related causes. Along with the recent release of the movie “Concussion,” which documents Bennet Omalu and his findings regarding chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the public’s view regarding CTE and concussions has become increasingly scrutinized.

But Arthur Maerlender, director of clinical research at the University of NebraskaLincoln’s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior – CB3 – is looking to discredit the hysteria associated with CTE. “Statistically, there is no data to suggest that somebody who gets one or two concussions proves that you are going to get CTE,” Maerlender said.

There are many contributing factors to the panic regarding CTE, he said.

“There is no diagnosis of CTE, yet clinicians are out there telling people they have CTE,” he said. “This contributes to the public hysteria regarding CTE. Also, the very fact the (National Football League) attempted to cover up concussions could also be contributing to the public view of CTE.” A document written by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine seeks to provide accurate information regarding CTE. The document states: “CTE is currently defined as progressive neurodegeneration associated with repetitive head trauma and

areas at the games work well for him. But once in a while, ushers will try to move him to a different area or say that he can’t use the ticket on his NCard to sit in the wheelchair accessible space.

This can make for uncomfortable situations, he said.

“Just like every other student, I have the ticket on my NCard,” he said. “Since it wasn’t an actual ticket, the people there didn’t think I was supposed to be there. That was sort of trouble at first, but then we got it sorted out with the ticket office. But they should know that. They shouldn’t have to question it.”

Still, people at UNL are normally helpful toward people in wheelchairs, Dettmer said. He appreciates it when students hold the door open for him or offer their help.

DISABILITIES: FROM 6 The office can help students in wheelchairs to make sure that the classrooms, residence halls and other places they need to go are accessible.

This can mean placing desks in classrooms so students in wheelchairs can sit at them or providing accessible transportation for field trips.

Some of the students like Dettmer also use the office so they can have extended time on exams or to request student note-takers in their classes.

The school is also assisted by an Americans with Disabilities Act compliance officer who ensures that ADA standards are met in campus buildings.

Students in wheelchairs rely on ramps and elevators to get them to different levels. While most buildings are fitted with elevators, they can be inconveniently located, Cheney said. In Avery Hall, students have to take one elevator to the first floor and then go “clear around” to another elevator to reach higher floors, Cheney said.

Other elevators require NCard access for certain floors. This makes it difficult for Dettmer since he has limited mobility of his arms.

Jake Schulman said among the biggest cultural and environmental differences between China and Colorado were in food, pollution, population and driving.

“There’s a lot of pollution in Shanghai and China in general, but in Colorado there’s, like, none,” Jake Schulman said. So we get to go outside more and there’s more to do like skiing and biking. The culture’s different, too.

People in China are a lot more rude with driving. Driving is a lot more dangerous.”

Susan said when they first moved to Shanghai, there was an entirely separate currency for foreigners because of the communist government. Foreigners had to use “foreign exchange certificates,” while the Chinese used the “people’s money,” renminbi. Susan said, since then, renminbi has become the currency for everyone in China. She also said that foreigners were not allowed to own or drive a car before the early 2000s, so they had to rely on taxis and hired drivers.

Despite the various cultural differences, Jake doesn’t think of his childhood as much different from everybody else’s.

“Everybody hangs out with their friends,” he said. “I was just in a different place.”

Jake Schulman attended Shanghai Community International School while he was living in China. Because it was an international school, it followed a curriculum very similar to what is used in the U.S. “It was basically like going to a private school in the States,” Jake Schulman said.

“The class sizes were small, everything was taught in English and it followed a U.S. curriculum.”

Since his school was an international school, Jake Schulman had friends from all over the world.

“In the States, a lot of your friends are from the States,” he said. “But I lived in an

son,” Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. “We played with a lot of energy and emotion, and we played for each other. It was fun to coach that team today.”

Nebraska (18-11, 9-9) only made four of its first 20 field goal attempts, but the Huskers got in a groove in the second quarter by finding higher percentage shots which led to nine straight makes before missing the shot at the

halftime horn.

For a run that came out of the blue, it all stemmed from the thought of honoring the Nebraska seniors.

“I think it was just the energy we created,” junior center Allie Havers said. There were so many emotions tonight with the Senior Day and you really wanted to play for those four. That’s what really motivated us.”

The Huskers led Northwestern (15-15, 4-14) 31-23 heading into the locker room after shooting 69 percent from the floor in the second quarter.

The 20-9 run all started with ball movement.

A possession after Havers was called for traveling while being doubled in the post, the center spun baseline, sensing the double team coming again. This time though, Havers (13 points,

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2016 | 11

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM 10 rebounds) flung a bullet to the short corner where sophomore guard Jasmine Cincore was left all alone to knock down the 18-foot jumper.

Swish. And just like that, the Huskers held a 16-14 lead they would not let go of.

“It was all heart and effort this game, and that’s what happens when you bring it,” Havers said.

During the strong close to the first half, Nebraska received surprising contributions on Senior Day, not from the veterans, but from a pair of freshman—guard Maddie Simon and forward Rachel Blackburn.

Simon cashed in two three-pointers and Blackburn added an additional eight points for a welcomed offensive post presence. For the game, Simon chalked up a career-high 16 points along with seven rebounds while Blackburn chipped in eight points and five rebounds.

“I’ve just been getting some more confi-

dence lately,” Simon said. “I guess it took me the whole season, but I started figuring things out. My teammates were finding me and Nat had some great assists. It just all came together.”

Sophomore shooting guard Natalie Romeo also had a big day. Taking over as the primary ball handler, Romeo had a quiet, but effective game as the sharpshooter did a little bit of everything for the Huskers, posting a triple-double by tallying 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It was only the second triple-double in school history.

“I’ve coached three players in my career— Natalie Romeo, Lindsey Moore and one of my players at Creighton—with a triple double,” Yori said. “That’s a lot of years of coaching so that’s a big deal for her to have a triple double.”

Yori was most impressed with Romeo’s facilitating, which Yori saw a lot of in Romeo’s game back in high school.

“We needed her to handle the ball a lot today because of the ball pressure and we wanted her to make plays,” Yori said. “She’s not just a shooter. Natalie has the ability to get to the basket.”

The Huskers picked up right where they left off in the third. After a Simon layup off a fast break, she followed it up with a corner pocket three in front of the Nebraska bench. Her third three pointer of the game extended the Husker lead to 13 points at 48-35.

Nebraska’s offense was clicking on all four cylinders by closing the final five minutes of the third making eight of its final 10 shots. By the time the final quarter commenced, the Huskers had the game in control.

The middle two quarters came as a fresh sight for the 6596 fans in attendance on Senior Day. With a scrappy opening quarter when both teams absorbed plenty of body contact and

fought viciously for loose balls, the pace was much slower than normal.

As possessions for both Nebraska and Northwestern wore deep into the shot clock and defense controlled the floor, the Huskers only shot 4-18 while the Wildcats were even worse, at a 3-17 mark.

In the end, Nebraska knocked down 29 of its 58 shots, good for 50 percent, which was enough to overcome 18 turnovers and 17 missed free throws.

The win vaults Nebraska to .500 in conference play which will place the Huskers as the No. 7 seed at this week’s Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis. Nebraska will play Rutgers on Thursday afternoon at 5:30.

Husker baseball runs into trouble out West From coast to coast, NU’s first two weekends each ended with a 1-2 mark. Nebraska will stay out west this week at Long Beach State.

ALLAN CHRISTENSEN DN The Husker baseball team traded the Atlantic for the Pacific but came out with the same result, a 1-2 record for the weekend.

Nebraska (2-4) traveled to San Diego for the Tony Gwynn Classic, named for the late Padre and San Diego State baseball coach. The eightteam bracket-style tournament featured teams from all over the country.

The Huskers looked to end a two-game skid that started in the first series of the year at the College of Charleston.

Game One: San Diego 17, Nebraska 5 The tourney opened Friday with a 17-5 loss to one of the hosts, the San Diego Toreros.

Nebraska tried to get a repeat performance from senior starting pitcher Colton Howell, who opened the 2016 season with five innings of onehit ball on the way to a 4-0 shutout of CofC last weekend. The Toreros greeted him rudely.

Howell managed only one out while giving up eight earned runs on seven hits and two walks in the first inning.

San Diego added a run in the third inning and four runs in the fifth before Nebraska man-

aged to put up two runs in the sixth. The Huskers would manage two more runs in the seventh and one in the eighth to make it 13-5, but the Toreros answered with four more runs of their own in the bottom half of the eighth.

All in all, it was a horror story for the Husker pitching staff, which used five pitchers in the game. Three, Howell and freshmen Ethan Frazier and Sean Chandler, each gave up four or more earned runs in a collective three innings of work.

Game Two: No. 23 Arizona 11, Nebraska 10 The Huskers faced No. 23 Arizona in game two of the tourney and dropped the Saturday game 11-10 to the Wildcats in an extra inning.

Senior Jake Placzek started the scoring with a two-run home run in the bottom of the opening inning. Placzek’s blast would prove to be the start of a bit of a hot streak for the senior, who spent much of last season on the bench with a finger injury.

Nebraska coach Darin Erstad said he was not surprised by the senior’s performance.

“Many people forget that guy started for us quite a few games a couple of years ago,” Erstad said on the Husker Sports Network. “His finger was all jacked up, and it was frustrating for him.

He’s put a lot of work into his swing.”

Placzek was a bright spot at the plate, finishing 2 for 5 with four RBIs and the home run.

Junior centerfielder Ryan Boldt was also sharp, adding three hits to his three on Friday. Three other Huskers had multiple hits.

After surrendering a four-run fifth inning to Nebraska, Arizona put up two in the sixth and three in the seventh to grab a four-run lead heading into the eighth. Wildcat pitcher Robby Medel cruised through the sixth and seventh innings, but ran into trouble in the eighth. After

FILE PHOTO | DN

he pitched two scoreless innings, Medel left the mound in the eighth without recording an out and was charged for four earned runs that tied the game.

Once again, the pitching was not sharp for the Huskers. Sophomore Garret King started the game on the hill for Nebraska and ended

his night 3.1 innings later, charged with four earned runs. Every pitcher Nebraska had on the mound Saturday allowed at least one run.

Freshman Chad Luensmann took the loss after

NU upsets No. 7 Oregon, falls to No. 1 Gators ROSS MILLER DN After two impressive weekends to open the season, the Nebraska softball team traveled to California for four games, three of which were against top 10 teams. Nebraska went 2-2 in the four games, defeating No. 7 Oregon along the way.

In the first inning of the weekend’s opening game, Oregon’s Nikki Udria hit a homer to right-center field, putting Nebraska in a 1-0 hole.

MJ Knighten made sure it wasn’t the story of the game, as the junior answered with a homer of her own to tie the game in the last half of the first inning.

The Ducks answered with a run in the top of the second inning, but the Huskers rallied and scored three in the third inning.

Nebraska held the lead until the top of the seventh inning, when Oregon scored two runs on a home run and an error that extended the inning.

But it wasn’t over. Sophomore Kaylan

Jablonski scored the winning run for the Huskers on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning to knock off the No. 7 Ducks.

The second game of the weekend did not go the same way as the first.

No. 1 Florida took care of Nebraska and handed it its second loss of the year. The Gators used two three-run innings, the third and fourth, to open the game.

The game was over in the fifth inning, as Florida cruised 8-0.

“The Florida game got a little out of hand early, but I think we responded well,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said.

With almost a 24 hour layover, the Huskers had some time to relax in Cathedral City, California, before facing San Diego State Saturday night.

Knighten and Joblanski each hit a home run in a 3-1 victory over the Aztecs. Knighten also earned another RBI, and Cassie McClure tossed a complete game and gave up only one run.

Nebraska turned around and played Washington, yet another top-ten team, Sunday morning. The Huskers trailed 4-0 going into the top

of the seventh inning and rallied to score four runs, including a three-run home run by senior Alicia Armstrong.

In the eighth inning, Nebraska scored, but Washington answered in the bottom of the inning. Washington scored the winning run on a single up the middle in the ninth inning.

“This gives us a real benchmark of what it takes to be there at the end of the season,” Revelle said.

Knighten has eight home runs after this weekend, and 20 RBIs through 13 games.

“I have been working on seeing the ball well,” Knighten said, “We have been studying how pitchers are pitching to me.”

Knighten and the Huskers will play their first home series of the year against Wichita State this weekend at Bowlin Stadium. The first game will be Saturday, March 5 at 1 p.m.

Nebraska struggles at Big Ten triangular In front of elite Big Ten competition, Nebraska put up a fight but narrowly lost to conference foes Iowa and Penn State.

ALLAN CHRISTENSEN DN The No. 6 Nebraska men’s gymnastics team placed last in a triangular with conference foes No. 7 Iowa and No. 8 Penn State Saturday, Feb. 27 in Iowa City, Iowa. Nebraska scored 423.300 points while Iowa took first with a score of 431.150 and Penn State scored 424.000.

The Huskers have yet to participate in any meet or dual that doesn’t involve a ranked team, and the contest with the highly ranked Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions was a close affair.

Nebraska started on the pommel horse, where it finished second with an overall score of 70.000. Nebraska was anchored by its All-American on pommel horse, senior Ethan Lottman. Lottman, No. 9 in the coun-

try on the pommel horse, scored a 15.450, leading the team and winning the individual title for the event. Iowa won on the pommel horse with a 70.050 and Penn State finished last with 68.550 points.

The Huskers moved on to the rings, where they added another solid score. Nebraska’s score of 70.450 was its highest total of the year on the still rings, but was still less than Iowa and Penn State’s respective 73.400 and 72.800. Sophomore Alex Magsam led the Huskers with a score of 14.500, while junior Austin Epperson and freshman Josh Everitt each added scores of 14.450. The event was won by a pair of Hawkeyes, Jack Boyle and Matt Loochtan, who tied with a score of 15.150.

The floor exercise, one of the Huskers’ strongest events this year, was next in rotation, and Nebraska did not disappoint. Two of the five Huskers scored 15.000 or better and two others scored 14.900. Sophomore Kyle King tied for individual title honors with a score of 15.350. Nebraska’s score of 74.150 won the event, and after three events, the Huskers were in second place, trailing Iowa by only three points.

The next event was the parallel bars, where Nebraska finished second of the three schools. Iowa won the event with a score of

HUSKER BASEBALL: FROM 12 giving up an unearned run in the top of the 10th inning that the Huskers couldn’t match in the bottom half.

Game Three: Nebraska 11, No. 20 Tulane 5 In the tournament finale, Nebraska managed to escape Sunday with an 11-5 victory over No. 20 Tulane.

It was the third time this season Nebraska held its opponent to less than 10 runs and the bats did more than their share, pounding out 11 hits.

In the early going, it looked like more of the same from Nebraska. An early one-run lead after the first inning quickly dissipated when sophomore starter Zach Engelken ran into trouble in the second.

“Zach came out just pumping strikes, looked

electric out there,” Erstad said. “Second inning, you know, stuff fell away and had a tough time throwing strikes.”

Enter freshman reliever Matt Waldron. Waldron put out the fire to end the second inning, then threw six innings of solid relief. A Tulane two-run home run off the bat of Jake Willsey set up the only runs given up by Waldron. Waldron put up zeroes in the third through fifth innings and seventh and eighth. The Nebraska bats continued to put up runs, adding nine while Waldron was pitching.

“He threw strikes. He kept them off balance.

He had good movement on his fastball. He was using his change-up to both righties and lefties, in hitters’ counts. (Getting a) ton of roll overs, a ton of ground balls,” Erstad said. “That’s how

you pitch.”

Placzek added another home run and three hits, racking up two RBIs in the process. Sophomores Scott Schreiber and Jake Meyers added home runs as well. Schreiber’s was a grand slam, Meyers’ was an inside-the-parker.

Next on the schedule is a three-game series at Long Beach State starting March 4.
