LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I’ll be honest with you, the last semester at this university is scaring the crap out of me. It’s not because I’m worried about the future, though. It’s because I’m unsure whether I’ll accomplish what I want to do in the present.

Last summer at a family barbeque, I was catching up with a few of my older cousins, people who haven’t been in college for almost a decade.

They’re decisions entail what activities to involve their children in while my day-to-day dilemmas are usually where I should eat in downtown Lincoln, which usually results in me getting fish tacos to-go from Wahoo’s.

I asked them, “Do you miss college at all?”

They replied, “All the time.”

It started sinking it. I started to realize my time here at Nebraska has an expiration date, and I need to get the most out of it. Yes, classes are very important. But for me, I’m going to remember the friendships and experiences way more than the exams I studied for at the middle of the night.

I’m going to remember the last-second concerts I went to, the spontaneous trips I went on and the different people I have the pleasure to call my friend. It’s cheesy, but that’s just how it is for me.

The same quote persists in my brain, and that’s from the finale of “The Office” when Andy Bernard said, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.” Yeah, that scared me too.

You always hope that each day is better than the one before. You hope that you enjoy every venture you begin. But what if this is the good old days? What if this is my last opportunity to do the things I’m able to do?

My thing is if someone invites me to do something, I’ll say yes nine times out of 10 --- maybe 99 times out of 100. You got to make every day count.

There are times where you’ll have to work your ass off on assignment, project or exam. But when you have an opportunity to go out and spend time with friends, do it. Screw sleep.

The “good old days” aren’t spent in a library. They’re spent with the people you’ll cherish more than an overpriced textbook. Those people are the ones who make the “good old days” happen.

Sincerely, Josh Kelly

Lincoln firefighters put their lives on the line for strangers, their community and “family away from family.”

›

ALYSSA RANARD DN

It was 2 degrees Fahrenheit outside on the morning of Dec. 11, 2010, but Trent Borchers, a firefighter at Station One in the Lincoln Fire and Rescue Department, was far from cold. Underneath the fire-protectant suit, Borchers was sweating.

Whether that was from the heat of the fire above him or the adrenaline rushing through his veins, he wasn’t sure.

Black smoke billowed from the rooftop of Romantix, a Lincoln adult novelty store, accompanied by 40-foot flames that lashed out at the morning winter air from the second and third story windows as if they too wished to escape the burning

brick building.

This was what Borchers and the other firefighters called “the big one.” This was the fire that every firefighter dreams of. *** On the top of Borchers’ right shoulder marked in black ink is a Maltese cross tattoo. Below the cross are three initials inscribed in swirling font: R.B., D.B. and T.B. Reinhardt Borchers, Dennis Borchers and Trent Borchers. A grandfather. A father. A son. Three generations of firefighters.

Trent Borchers was raised in the firehouse. He grew up playing with toy fire engines and stealing rides on the fire truck. He grew up watching his dad leave for work wearing a navy blue shirt with the words “Captain” on front and “Lincoln Fire and Rescue” displayed in thick white letters on back. He lives, breathes and speaks firefighting.

He is a man born for the job.

But if it were up to his dad, Borchers would be an accountant.

“He always told me, ‘you’re smarter than that.

Go find something else to do,’” Borchers said. “My

comeback always was, ‘hey, you did it. You obviously did what you love, and now it’s my turn.’”

Despite his reservations, Borchers’ father couldn’t have been more proud to pin a medal on his son at the Lincoln Fire Department graduation ceremony.

“That was one of the proudest moments I’ve had to share with my dad,” Borchers said.

Curt Faust, a captain of Station One, has been on the Lincoln Fire Department since Borchers was a boy following his dad around the fire station.

Faust said Borchers is impressive for his age and experience.

“It took me about 15 years to really know what I was doing,” Faust said. “But I can just set him loose, and I know the job will get done.” *** Borchers and Dan Ripley, a fellow Station One firefighter, broke in the window and unlocked the front door of Romantix. Two other firemen, Engine Three’s captain and Truck One’s captain, followed Borchers and Ripley into the building equipped with a two-and-a-half inch hose line.

“Go in. See if anybody is inside. Find the fire,”

Borchers said. “That’s the goal.”

The fire alarms blared from all directions, and the room was hazy from smoke, but the firefighters could still see across the darkened warehouse. A 30 mile-per-hour wind caused by the draft of the open door pressed against their backs like a hand urging them forward.

The team zigzagged past a checkout counter to their right, a video room lit up with still glowing screens to their left and racks upon racks of DVDs. The men passed a display of inflatable dolls in the middle of the room. Borchers led the way using a thermal imaging camera to track the source of the heat. ** After high school, Borchers went to Southeast Community College where he received an associate’s degree in fire protection. He graduated in 2005 and joined the Southwest Rural Fire Department.

He was hired by the Lincoln Fire & Rescue Department in 2007 at age 22.

It took Borchers three years to get his position as a firefighter EMT at Station One. Firefighting is an extremely competitive career, he said.

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM He competed with 500 men and women for 10 positions during his training.

“I can’t tell you how much grief I got,” he said.

“I’d always joke ‘Yeah, my dad came in and took the test for me.’”

Tim Linke, a battalion chief at Stations One and Ten and the department’s interim chief, said there are many reasons firefighting draws in hundreds of applicants each year.

It is financially secure, physically active, offers a good retirement and each day is completely different, Linke said.

“You just don’t know what you’re going to get into,” the battalion chief said. “It’s not always exciting, but we still do something to impact someone’s day. That’s way more than what other people experience in their careers.”

He also said the schedule can be attractive to some people.

Firefighters with the department operate in 24-hour shifts. Each shift works seven days every other day -- 24 hours on, 24 hours off for a week -- followed by an eight-day break.

Although the firefighters end up working a 56hour week, they also only end up working ten days out of the month.

The 24-hour schedule can be difficult on families, but most of the firemen at Station One, including Tim Linke, are happily married with kids.

“My wife has always been more supportive of my career than even I could expect,” he said.

Communication is a big part of what makes his marriage work, Linke said. His wife knew what to expect going into the relationship.

Jason Urkoski, a firefighter and part-time captain of Station 1, said his off days are spent chasing around a 5-year-old.

“I’m daddy day care during the week,” Urkoski said. “Not a lot of dads can be with their child the other days of the week like I can.”

Borchers is just beginning his life as a father. He and his wife Nicole spend most of their time taking care of Brielle, their 2-month-old daughter.

“My wife has to be a single-parent a third of the time,” he said. “It can be extremely tough.”

His wife often finds support in Borchers’ mother, Nancy Borchers, who understands the challenges a firefighter’s spouse faces. ** Borchers and the crew of firemen reached a closed office door at the back of the warehouse. As the men opened the door, Borchers knew they were getting close to the source of the fire.

“The conditions in the office were horrible,” said Borchers. “The heat in the room was double of that in the hall, and there was thick black smoke to the ground.”

Borchers called into their boss on their radio to report their findings. He could see the stairs to the second floor straight ahead on his thermal imaging camera.

Ripley held out his arm to stop Borchers from entering the office. He warned him to wait and listen for a second.

“The biggest thing you can do as a firefighter is use your instincts,” Borchers said. “Use your look, listen and feel.”

As far as the men knew, the fire had just started, but the office crackled like old logs on a fire. It was a sign that the fire might have been burning longer than reported, Borchers said.

Somewhere in the distance, the men could hear debris falling against a metal surface.

Ripley and Borchers entered the room to investigate. Searching for the source of the falling debris, Borchers lifted the thermal imaging camera to the ceiling. The LCD screen lit up bright red. 1,200 degrees. Ripley and Borchers were directly underneath the fire.

And then the ceiling began to collapse.

** “You have to put your life in danger for somebody you’ve never met in your life,” said Borchers. “No matter if they’re rich, poor, purple, green, whatever color they are, whatever race they are, whatever type of person they are, no matter who they are, you’re the one putting yourself up for that person.”

In 2014, a total of 64 firefighters died while on the job in the U.S. according to the National Fire Protection Association. In 2013, firefighting claimed 97 lives.

“If you look inside any fire helmet it says that firefighting is an inherently dangerous job,” said Andy McLaughlin, a firefighter at the Station One Lincoln Fire and Rescue Department.

Firefighters face a lot of unknowns when going on call. Firefighters can’t be sure how the fire was started, whether there are any traps set by arsonists or what the building’s construction is like, said McLaughlin.

These unknowns are often the demise of many firefighters, he said. *** Borchers watched as a large slab of wood broke from the ceiling and onto Ripley, knocking him to the ground.

“My first thought was to help Dan,” Borchers said. “He wasn’t just my team. He was my friend.”

As he reached to help his fellow firefighter back to his feet, a piece of the ceiling crashed down, shoving Borchers onto Ripley. Dazed by his fall,

Out with the old, “N” with the new

COURTESY PHOTO

BAILEY SCHULZ DN

Beginning this year, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is uniting under a new Nebraska ‘N’.

On Dec. 16, the university announced that the Academic ‘N’, the Nebraska Alumni Association ‘N’ and the Athletic Department’s Iron ‘N’ would all be replaced with a new Nebraska ‘N’ to unite all areas of the university.

The new mark is an updated Iron ‘N’, made slightly taller to fit within a square pixel grid.

Lonna Kliment, the director of licensing and branding for Nebraska Athletics, said the Iron ‘N’ was chosen because it was the most recognizable of the three designs.

“From the academic side as well, it’s probably going to help them in recruiting students,” she said. “Not to say that the Academic ‘N’ wasn’t useful, but I think the Athletic ‘N’ was more known throughout the country.”

Marcelo Plioplis, the creative director with University Communications who created the new icon, said another reason the Iron ‘N’ design was chosen because it’s been around the longest.

“We wanted to keep the tradition of our Iron ‘N’ that has been around for a number of decades,” he said. “We have a lot of recognition within our wider audiences and alumni (with that mark).”

This will be the first time in UNL’s history that there has been a single ‘N’. The main reasoning be-

hind this shift to a single ‘N’ is to unite the university, according to Plioplis.

“We just wanted to unify our brand with a single mark because it enhances the way we communicate with our audiences,” he said. “It makes it simpler to talk to them and so they’re not getting mixed views of who we are or different ideas of who we are based on different marks.”

Kliment said the new ‘N’ will be a huge step for the university’s brand management.

“The initial thought, and I think we’ve accomplished it, is to better brand the university as a whole,” she said. “In an effort to better co-brand each other, we decided that the Nebraska ‘N’ would be the best way to go.”

The Nebraska ‘N’ won’t be replacing the old marks all at once. The icon will be available in January, and the official UNL websites will begin using the new mark on May 8, when fall recruitment begins.

“It’s going to be a slow roll out,” Kliment said.

“Come July 1 of 2016, that’s when it will be basically 100 percent implemented.”

Supplies such as pencils and envelopes from the university will have the Nebraska ‘N’ design by the next academic year.

Players sought for women’s hockey team EMMA OLSON DN Visitors to the John Breslow Ice Hockey Center may soon see the Nebraska logo on jerseys for a team with ponytails sticking out of the back of their helmets.

Justice Forte, a freshman political science major, and Molly Lewis, a freshman child youth and family studies major, are working together to form a new University of Nebraska-Lincoln women’s ice hockey team.

Forte has played hockey for eight years on travel teams including the New Jersey Rockets and the Pope John XXIII Regional High School men’s team.

Lewis has played hockey since she was 5 years old. She was encouraged by her three older brothers who also played.

Previously, UNL had a women’s club hockey team for three years. However, there weren’t enough players and not enough interest at the time. The team then dissolved.

At the Big Red Welcome Festival, Lewis said she was disappointed to find no girl’s club hockey team.

There are several women who have already expressed interest in starting and joining the new team, Forte said. She said they have had seven responses to her post on a UNL Facebook page.

The girls are hoping to find a team of a minimum of 10 players and two goalies.

The team will practice at the John Breslow Ice Hockey Center, which opened in December. Forte and Lewis are planning on practicing between two and three hours per week, they said.

Practices will not begin until the fall semester of 2016 in order to have time to form the team and spread awareness.

Scott Smith was the head coach of the former women’s team and has volunteered to coach the new team as well.

The team will be open to players of all different skill levels and knowledge of the sport.

“We have received responses from some women who have played hockey for most of their lives and some who simply know how to skate and are interested in the sport,” Forte said.

Players will need to provide or rent their own equipment.

The UNL women’s team will play club teams from Iowa State, South Dakota State, Wisconsin-Lacrosse and Southern California. They will also attempt to plan games with the women’s travel teams in the Lincoln area.

“UNL needs a hockey team because hockey is a competitive and unique sport,” Forte said. “A women’s team at UNL would give current students the opportunity to explore or continue the sport and would also attract hockey players who are considering the university.”

Lewis grew up in a time when hockey was not a popular women’s sport. She began playing on a team with boys.

“It now isn’t just a man’s sport as we have a women’s Olympic ice hockey team, and all around the world there are female hockey teams competing at high levels,” Lewis said.

To find out more information about the team contact Justice Forte at 201-7761770 or email her at justice.forte@aol.com.

Public sex, narcotics headline winter break EMILY MCMINN DN Since Dec. 7, the University of NebraskaLincoln Police Department responded to six different traffic accidents totaling more than $3,000 in estimated damages, six vandalisms, 23 narcotics-related incidents and issued 10 minor in possession citations.

One of the accidents involved a UNL staff member who reported hitting a sign connected to a cement block in the parking lot west of the Westbrook Music Building. The cement block was moved about 20 feet without damage, but the vehicle sustained about $1,250 of damage.

A possible vandalism to the bike rack at the Stadium Drive parking garage was reported on Dec. 12. Two bikes were left on the scene, one with no tires and one with one tire. Officers also found four loose bike tires at the scene. The intent of the crime has not yet been determined, according to the report.

That same day, an officer was dispatched to another belated vandalism call. A vehicle in the Alpha Gamma Nu fraternity parking lot had the front passenger side tire punctured.

The estimated damage is $150.

A car caught fire in the 14th and Avery parking garage on Dec. 14. The fire started when the owner attempted to start their vehicle. Officers distinguished the fire, and the damaged vehicle was towed to the Capital Towing company car lot.

On Dec. 11, officers responded to three males thought to be smoking marijuana on a bench between Fairfield and Benton halls.

When the officers approached the men, they ran away on foot. Officers pursued and caught up with two UNL students. Both were taken to jail and cited and lodged for obstruction of a peace officer and possession of marijuana

and drug paraphernalia. One of the students was also cited for minor in possession.

On Dec. 19, a UNLPD officer was dispatched to a parking lot at 515 N. 19th St. on suspicious activity in a vehicle. Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer “observed a topless female performing the act of fellatio on a male,” according to the report. Both parties were cited and released for public indecency.

Lincoln Fire and Rescue was dispatched to East Campus’ Animal Science building on Jan. 4 in response to an alarm that went off in a cooler in the feed storage area. The alarm was caused by a faulty sprinkler head. The sprinkler head was damaged as a result, and there is possible damage to research items.

The sprinkler head damage was estimated to be $200.

Late Jan. 6, UNLPD was dispatched to the City Campus Union for a reported vandalism.

The officers located the responsible person in the women’s bathroom. This person had previously been banned from UNL property. He was cited and released for trespassing.

DUIS

On Dec. 31, Mallory Stubbs, 20 was pulled over for a taillight violation and was found to be under the influence of alcohol with a .135 BrAC. Two non-affiliate passengers were also cited for minor in possession by consumption.

The next day, Dillon Wordekemper, 22, was contacted for speeding. Wordekemper was cited for DUI (.105 BrAC) and was released to a sober party. A non-UNL affiliate passenger was cited and released for minor in possession.

UNLPD investigating possible hazing STAFF DN

University police have obtained key evidence in an investigation into an alleged hazing incident that occurred near the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house on Dec. 7.

According to the Lincoln Journal Star, UNLPD has obtained a video of an older Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity member, wearing only underwear, duct taped to a bench at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, being sprayed with ketchup and mustard by freshman fraternity members.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is across the street from Kappa Kappa Gamma on 16th street.

Members of Sigma Phi Epsilon told police the incident was part of a tradition where freshmen members pick a senior to “repay the seniors for what they do to the freshmen.”

According to the Journal Star, Kappa Kappa Gamma refused a request from police to view footage of a surveillance camera pointed at the bench. Lancaster County Judge Thomas Fox granted investigators a search warrant on Dec. 16, and police seized the video.

UNL spokesman Steve Smith said the investigation is ongoing, though due to the holidays and winter break, the investigation will likely slow down until the beginning of the spring semester on Jan. 11.

“Then we’ll wait for the conclusion of that review then take action at the appropriate time, if necessary,” Smith said.

Agriculture-loving student joining Peace Corps NAM TRAN DN For Zoe Masterpole, agriculture has made up her entire college career. She loved the major so much she co-founded a club on campus about agriculture, joined professional agriculture sorority Sigma Alpha on East Campus and will be going into the Peace Corps working with agriculture after she graduates.

Originally a biochemistry major and now a senior microbiology major, Masterpole is also minoring in biochemistry and international agriculture. Once she’s done with school, she’ll head to Togo, a country in West Africa, to put her education to practice as a Peace Corps volunteer.

Masterpole will work as an agriculture extension agent, working on reforestation and gardening to increase food security and create agricultural-based income for the people in the area.

After the Peace Corps, Masterpole will be working toward her master’s degree in agroforestry.

“It’s really what I’m super passionate about,” she said.

Agriculture only makes up a small amount of the Peace Corps programs, Masterpole said.

She said the typical application process can take nine months to a year before an applicant is accepted.

Masterpole’s interest in agricultural practices in different countries played a huge factor in

her decision to apply and join the organization, she said.

“I’ve had the interest in joining the Peace Corps since I was a little kid, so it just sealed the deal when I found a program that I liked,” she said.

Originally from Minnesota, Masterpole was looking at different colleges and wanted to pick somewhere away from everyone in her high school. She researched agricultural sciences programs, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln seemed to be a good fit.

“I loved the campus. I didn’t know anyone when I moved here, which was terrifying, but I got involved right away which helped,” she said.

Her “Introduction to Agriculture” class bolstered her love for her major.

“I knew that’s what I wanted to do with my life, so I made that my focus,” she said.

Masterpole was also one of the four founders of the Global Agriculture Club, built to promote understanding of international agriculture.

“It’s really exciting because we just started the club about two years ago, and we get to already do something huge with it,” Masterpole said.

“All of the girls were people who studied abroad early in their college career, so we kind of all had the same interests and came together for this club,” Masterpole said.

Masterpole studied abroad at an agriculture university in China during the summer after her

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM freshman year.

She learned the Mandarin Chinese language but wished she could have studied it deeper.

“I loved it but they were just teaching us survival Mandarin so I really wanted to get into it,” Masterpole said.

Now, her focus is on learning French in preparation for her move to Togo. She’ll have three months of intensive training to further learn the language.

“You have to be fluent,” Masterpole said.

“Once you become fluent in French, you start learning the local language for wherever your

village is and depending on how many languages people speak, there you could learn two or three more.”

She will move to a farming community for the first couple of months to learn about their practices and work on a couple of projects.

Masterpole also worked as a resident assistant last year and during the summer, as well as this year. She said being an RA is one of her favorite experiences in college.

Masterpole is also a part of Sigma Alpha sorority and served as the second vice president for last year, so she was in charge of new mem-

ber education.

“It’s just basically like a normal sorority, but all of us have an ag background or AG focus,” she said.

They have a philanthropy, called Indigenous Education Foundation of Tanzania where they support a girl from Tanzania to attend an agricultural school. They also teach agriculture in local elementary schools in Lincoln.

“It’s (IEFT) a big deal for us because women play a big role in agriculture in developing third world cultures, nice way to support the effort.”

Zoe also works for the U.S. Department of

Agriculture doing research in an on-campus office. She says she has gotten a lot of great job experience and she said after she returns from the Peace Corp, she can continue an internship with the USDA. “It’s interesting to be working on things (other) people aren’t really invested in at the moment,” she said.

FIRE AND RESCUE: FROM 5 he’s invincible,” he said. “That was a big reality check.”

Within seconds, Borchers felt a hand grab his air pack, pulling him out from under the debris.

He seized Dan’s pack and both men were dragged back out into the hall.

“We were incredibly lucky there were two other men with us,” Borchers said. *** Borchers grew up with the firemen of Station One. For 56 hours a week, they live, sleep, work and play together.

Whether they’re fighting fires or watching “Family Feud” at the station with bowls of homemade popcorn, Linke said the bond that forms among the men is strong.

Many of the firefighters see the fire station as a second home.

“It’s kinda like a family away from family,” McLaughlin said. “You feel like you have a huge family everywhere you go.”

Firefighters come from all walks of life, said Linke. Each firefighter has a story and reason for being there.

Unlike Borchers, McLaughlin is the only member of his own family to have any interest in the fire department.

“I’m kinda an odd duck in my family,” McLaughlin said.

As a child, he had no interest in being a firefighter. He joined the Marine Corps. for four years right after high school and then joined the fire department after encouragement from a few friends who were in the department.

After two weeks, he fell in love with the camaraderie between the firefighters.

“It’s not what you do; it’s who you work with,” he said.

Urkoski was a broadcasting major as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He had been interested in firefighting as a child, but he was warned to go a different direction by a high school counselor.

During his senior year, Urkoski had a chance encounter with a fire truck and decided to give his childhood dreams another chance.

He was hooked after the first call.

“It doesn’t feel like a job,” Urkoski said. “The old saying goes that if you love what you’re doing, you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s really true here.”

Despite their differences, the firefighters at Station One all have one thing in common; an eagerness to help others.

“The people who do this are wired differently,” Urkoski said. “When everyone else is running outside of the burning building, we’re running in.” *** Borchers and Ripley were out of the office, but they knew they weren’t out of danger yet. The cap-

tain gave the order to “get the hell of here,” and the firemen grabbed their equipment and began the sprint back to the front door.

Halfway to the exit, Borchers heard a floorshaking crash behind them.

“That definitely put a little pep in our step,” he said. Referring to his captain, he added, “I’d never seen a 55-year-old man run so fast in my life.”

Only later when he was safely out of the building did Borchers learn that a bank vault had crashed through the ceiling of the office in the exact spot he and Ripley had fallen.

“Everybody always talks about a scary moment in your life, and how that made you go on moving forward,” said Borchers. “I definitely don’t

take things for granted now.”

After the incident, firefighters defensively battled the fire. Borchers spent six hours on top of a 105-foot aerial ladder spraying jets of water into the second and third story windows.

When Borchers came back down, he had at least 20 pounds of ice layered over his suit.

“Water and cold definitely don’t mix,” Borchers said.

The fire was nearly extinguished by 2 p.m. when Borchers and the rest of his shift at the Station One fire department were relieved by another round of firemen. Only the front of the building was still standing.

*** Borchers has been involved in more than 600 structural fires since he began working for the Lincoln Fire and Rescue department. He documents every house and every business.

Standing in front of Truck One, nicknamed the “Wrecking Crew” for its wide variety of equipment, Borchers stood tall and smiling.

“This is the best job in the world,” he said, adding that it is so much more than a job. It’s a career.

“It’s my plan to see this through to the end.”

NU volleyball becomes champions in Omaha

FILE PHOTO | DN

Texas beat Nebraska 3-2 earlier in the season, but was ultimately swept for the National Championship.

SETH OLSON DN OMAHA — One point away from a national championship, the No. 4 Nebraska volleyball team waltzed out of the final timeout in the CenturyLink Center, wondering what to draw up after letting Texas score two straight points.

But sophomore setter Kelly Hunter only had to give a nod to her teammates, as they came out with one purpose. Once the Huskers got in system after stopping one final Longhorn attack, Hunter gave a jump set to senior outside hitter Kelsey Fien for the national title-clinching kill as Nebraska swept No. 2 Texas (25-23, 25-23, 25-21).

Moments after the team dog pile at the net, gold and silver confetti fell down from the rafters, and the national championship trophy was handed to Nebraska — its fourth national title and first since 2006.

“I can say I’m really proud, which I am,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “But I’m really more proud of this team on the journey they took to get to this point and to be able to come out and trust it and play their best match.”

The players took the trophy and threw the long strands of confetti around their necks as part of a celebration outfit with new national champion T-shirts and hats.

Nebraska (32-4) had a right to celebrate after sweeping its old Big 12 rival Texas (303) in an agonizingly close match that featured 25 ties and nine lead changes in the first two sets.

The match could easily have gone five sets as the match in which Texas defeated Nebraska 3-2 earlier this season did.

But in front of another NCAA volleyball attendance record of 17,561 — virtually making the CenturyLink Center a sea of red, the Huskers used the hometown feel to close out

With the lead at 21-16, reserve outside hitter Olivia Boender and the rest of the bench began pumping up the crowd by jumping up and down raising their arms.

Despite a late Texas rally, Nebraska closed it out just as it had done in the first two sets.

The outcome nearly made Cook speechless after the game “Well, it’s hard to put into words the environment tonight, the setting: Nebraska versus Texas, the crowd, national championship match and ESPN,” Cook said. “For us to come out and play a great match against a great team, it was just awesome to see.

NU gymnastics tops ASU, Bowling Green in triangular The Nebraska women’s gymnastics team opened up their 2015-2016 campaign with a triangular victory over Arizona State and Bowling Green on Jan. 8.

SYDNY BOYD DN The Nebraska women’s gymnastics team started its 2015-2016 season with a score of

194.050 as it beat Arizona State (192.700) and Bowling Green (191.900) at the triangular meet Friday.

The Huskers traveled to Tempe, Arizona, and got the win with strong floor exercise and vault performances by junior Jennie Laeng and sophomore Grace Williams after a slow start.

The team started its first rotation on the uneven bars. Laeng and Williams were cochampions, both scoring 9.85 on their routines. Junior Ashley Lambert and Sophomore Danielle Breen both scored 9.8, adding to Nebraska’s overall bar score of 48.20. After the first rotation, Arizona State led with a 48.375, followed by Nebraska at 48.200 and Bowling Green at 47.525.

For its second rotation, Nebraska moved to the balance beam, where freshman Megan Schweihofer made her first appearance as a Husker athlete and scored a 9.825, alongside Laeng and Williams. After the second rotation, Arizona State led with a 96.700, fol-

lowed by Nebraska with a 96.550 and Bowling Green at 95.100.

Head coach Dan Kendig said the three athletes had great performances.

During their third rotation, the Huskers moved to the top of the leaderboard with a 48.850 overall team score. Senior Hollie Blanske scored a 9.70 under Lambert’s 9.825 and Laeng’s 9.85 in floor exercises. After the third rotation, Nebraska led with a score of 145.400, while Arizona State followed with 144.200 and Bowling Green had a score of 143.625.

“Personally, for me, it was a shaky start,” Blanske said. “I am looking forward to improving throughout the season, basically just climbing up the hill.”

The Huskers finished their fourth rotation on vault with a 48.650 score, locking in the victory against the Sun Devils and the Falcons. Laeng was another front-runner, finishing with a 9.825, followed by Schweihofer with a 9.725. Williams, Blanske and Orel all

scored 9.70.

“I think the first meet of the season did what it needed to do,” Kendig said. “It told us a lot about our team. Would we have liked to do better? Absolutely. But it gave us a picture of what to expect.”

The team is young, with six freshmen and only two seniors, but Kendig is optimistic.

He said the goal of Nebraska hasn’t changed: win the Big Ten Conference.

“We have a lot of work to do, which we knew going in. The most important thing is we came out healthy, and everything that went wrong is all fixable.”

Nebraska’s next meet is Saturday, Jan. 16 at 3 p.m. in University Park, Pennsylvania, where Nebraska will take on Big Ten Conference competitor Penn State.

Freshman played pivotal role in title chase RILEY BOWDEN DN When Mikaela Foecke was announced as the player of the National Championship match Dec. 19, she seemed reserved. Setter Kelly Hunter made sure Foecke knew how big of a match she just had. All Foecke could do was smile and shake her head.

Everyone who watched Nebraska volleyball prior to its National Championship win knew Foecke was a good player. No one knew she could be as dominant as she was in the most important match of the season.

“We didn’t have an answer,” Texas coach Jerritt Elliott said.

Texas didn’t know what to do, and Foecke provided Nebraska her best performance of the season.

If you said Nebraska hitter Kadie Rolfzen would have just four kills and a .095 hitting percentage, no one would have picked Nebraska to win. But Foecke more than made up for it. She racked up 19 kills on 39 swings, and it happened at critical moments in the match.

She started off on fire, with seven kills in Nebraska’s first 20 points, her seventh giving Nebraska its largest lead of the first set. Texas didn’t go away. Tied at 22, Foecke answered a Texas run with a kill at the most important point of the match yet.

In the second set, Foecke added eight kills. Five of those eight kills either tied the game or broke a tie.

“One thing we talk about is being resilient, can you stay in the fight?” Nebraska coach John cook said. “Mikaela is a natural at it.”

Foecke was the difference on volleyball’s biggest stage. A freshman from West Point, Iowa, was the deciding factor in a national championship game played in front of the largest crowd ever at an NCAA volleyball game. To her, it isn’t about what she does that makes her so good.

“I think I get a lot of confidence from my teammates,” Foecke said. “Kelly sets the ball really well, and we have so many great players, that I am not afraid to just go up and swing.”

The greatest players make big plays in big games, and Foecke has done that all year.

Foecke had a career-high 22 kills against then-No. 1 Penn State in October. She had double-digit kills in every NCAA Tournament match but one, and she elevated her kills per set average to 3.52 in the tournament.

“This wasn’t anything new,” Cook said.

“We have seen her do that in some other big matches.”

None bigger than on Dec. 19, though.

For those light volleyball watchers, some of Foecke’s kills had to be scary. Her swings would hit the floor or an opposing defender ’s hands and bounce 20 feet in the air. She was dominant. She wasn’t dancing around it.

She saw the ball, and she hit the ball hard.

Foecke proved she was human in the third set, as she was held to just three kills and a .000 hitting percentage on 12 swings.

But the damage was done.

Nebraska swept Texas, but the match could have gone a lot of different ways.

There were 31 ties and 12 lead changes. Of the 19 Foecke kills, 11 of them either broke a tie or tied the game.

Cook said all year that Foecke is the type

FILE PHOTO | DN of player he thinks makes a successful team: humble and eager to learn. Foecke said she fed off her teammates, but it was clear everyone in the building fed off of her.

By the way, there are three more years

ahead of her at Nebraska.

Nebraska women win first Big Ten game DAVID STOVER DN The Nebraska women’s basketball team won its first conference game of the year on Sunday, defeating Illinois 73-57. The Huskers improved their record to 10-5 overall and 1-3 in conference play.

Freshman forward Jessica Shepard earned the second most rebounds by a freshman in school history, 19, and accompanied that with 29 points.

Shepard said her legs felt a lot better than in the Huskers’ last game, which allowed her to give the maximum effort in rebounding.

The Huskers began the first quarter by alternating points three times with the Illini until the 4:41 mark. Nebraska ended the quarter leading Illinois 18-11, a lead that would last the rest of the game.

Sophomore guard Natalie Romeo was a catalyst for establishing the Huskers’ lead.

Romeo made a three-point shot that drew the attention of the Illini defense away from Shepard, allowing her to set up more opportunities for Shepard and her teammates to capitalize on.

“I thought she executed the game plan to a ‘T’,” Nebraska coach Connie Yori said.

“They did a really good job of finding Jess, and she finished for them.”

Shepard welcomed back Illini sophomore center Chatrice White, a Shelby, Nebraska, native who played with Shepard growing up. White scored 14 points and was the Illini’s second leading scorer, scoring only three points less than redshirt sophomore guard Kennedy Cattenhead.

The two friends defended each other the whole game, with Shepard winning the battle.

“I thought she played better defense than she had in awhile,” Yori said.

NU shot 58 percent from the field in the second half. Senior guard Rachel Theriot was 3-of-3 from the field and scored nine points.

She finished with 17 points and was the Huskers’ second leading scorer.

“It’s a lot easier to play harder when the team shares the ball,” Theriot said.

The Huskers finished the first half with a 35-26 lead and 14 turnovers. The Illini had nine turnovers and the Huskers outrebounded the Illini 22 to 12.

Shepard’s large number of rebounds helped maintain the Huskers’ lead, as the Illini scored six more points in the paint and three more points off second chance oppor-

FILE PHOTO | DN tunities than the Huskers.

Nebraska finished the third quarter with a 55-44 lead, with 23 of those points being Shepard’s.

With 5:44 left in the game, Illinois started to apply full court pressure and shifted to a 2-3 zone to slow down the Huskers’ offensive production.

Theriot said the Huskers were prepared

for it and didn’t have any trouble exploiting the defense’s weaknesses.

Illinois finished the game with six more points in the paint and nine more points off turnovers,, but the Huskers out rebounded, with 16 more rebounds than the Illini.

Despite the disparity in offensive numbers, Yori said she believes a lot of the difference in statistics is due to fatigue and Ne-

braska’s tightly compacted schedule.

In the meantime, the Huskers will be able to rest and enjoy their victory because their next game will be Wednesday at 6 p.m. in University Park, Pennsylvania, against the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Nebraska didn’t suffer any lapses on the defensive end either. Rutgers shot just 33 percent from the field, and was held to a dismal 2-17 mark from beyond the arc. Saturday was the first time Nebraska held its opponent to less than 70 points since mid-December against Rhode Island.

The Huskers split their first two confer-

ence road games of the season, but the win against the Scarlet Knights was crucial after an 0-3 start to conference play. Three of the next five games will be on the road for Nebraska, but the next will be at Pinnacle Bank Arena against Minnesota Tuesday, Jan. 12.

“I’m not ready to say we’re turning the corner, but it’s got to give the guys a shot in

the arm,” Miles said of the win. “It’s got to give them a lift, and it should.”

SPORTS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

RUTGERS: FROM 12 has had in a Big Ten game since joining the conference. By the end of the game, 10 Huskers earned at least a point. Watson, Shavon Shields and Ed Morrow had 12, 11 and 10 points, respectively. Morrow had his most efficient game of the year, going five of five from the field and adding three rebounds in 13 minutes.
