LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why Elevate thinks you should vote for Elevate »*Editor’s » note: The following is a letter to the editor written by the Elevate party. A run-off election between Elevate and Radiate will occur on Tuesday on MyRed.unl.edu from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As the runoff election approaches, it is important to be able to distinguish between the two remaining parties. We understand that campaign season can be overwhelming – annoying, even – but we urge you to take a few minutes to read up on the differences between Elevate and Radiate in order to make the best choice for our campus.

PLATFORMS

Elevate has been completely transparent since the day we launched our campaign. We had our platforms explicitly published on our website, and were receptive to all questions and criticisms throughout the campaign process. We did not employ the standard three-platform system that parties have done in the past, but rather used student input and the interests of our senators to generate six primary platforms: mental health awareness, environmental sustainability, ASUN outreach, sexual assault prevention, academic excellence and diversity and inclusion. We have members of our slate who have already been elected who have worked intimately with each of these issues.

Radiate shied away from attaching any specific platforms to itself, and instead established its objectives by focusing on the passions of its senators. This seems like a strong strategy in theory, but in practice it carries many negative consequences.

For one, it does not allow for executive candidates to be held accountable. Without any definitive platforms, to what standard are they to be held if elected? They may argue that they would continue to focus on the passions of their senators, but the truth is that not very many of them got elected. Just nine senators running with Radiate were elected last Wednesday, compared to Elevate’s 19. Our elected senators are passionate about the platforms that our party has endorsed from the beginning. We’ve been accessible and transparent since day one, and that is not COURTESY PHOTO

UNL’s weird phobias: holes, barf and butterflies LINDSAY ESPARRAGO DN

While most people ask, “Is it any good?” when deciding which movie to watch, Shannon O’Connor asks, “Is there throw up in it?”

A senior secondary science education major, O’Connor has a phobia called emetophobia – the fear of vomiting.

Students may go every day with the fear of sleeping in and missing a class or failing an exam, but for some students, what is irrelevant to others is the same thing that can cause them a panic attack at any given time.

The last time O’Connor threw up was in second grade from a bad case of the stomach flu, but the act of vomiting scared her so much that she didn’t eat for a couple of weeks thinking that she would have to hurl it back up again. It was then she realized she had the irrational fear.

She’s only thrown up three or four times her whole life.

“Lucky me,” O’Connor said.

But luck hasn’t been on her side since coming to college – especially in social situations such as freshmen parties or trips to downtown bars.

“Freshman year, I wouldn’t go to places,”

she said. “I avoided socials and hated living in the sorority house just because I thought someone would throw up. But I’ve gotten a lot better.

I used to have to leave the room. I’d be dizzy and would cry and couldn’t breathe.”

Now O’Connor has learned to tell herself, “It’s OK”, even with a tight chest and racing heart. But she said the memory of watching someone throw up and slip in it at one of her first parties will haunt her for a while.

O’Connor has a list of movies she knows have vomit in them. Among the movies are “The Hangover” and “Pitch Perfect.” Two summers ago, a friend of O’Connor’s tried to use exposure therapy on her. He sat her down, pulled up movie clips that involved vomiting and forced her to watch them.

Although she hopes exposure will help her to tolerate vomiting when she’s eventually a mother, she thinks she’ll have to throw up again herself to fully get rid of the phobia.

“I personally think it’s because it’s something I can’t control,” O’Connor said. “It’s like my own body is acting against me. I have a Type-A personality.”

Tony Moran is a former UNL student who intends to re-enroll. He said it was a BuzzFeed listicle that took over his Facebook feed a cou-

Trypophobia is a pathological fear of holes,

specifically those that are clustered closely in a pattern. Some examples could be images of honeycomb or coral reef.

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM Moran said, “but when I saw the images, I started sweating and shaking. It was like nails on a chalkboard. I couldn’t get the images out of my head.”

The worst ones – pictures of lotus pods on body parts – were edited to look like skin diseases, but Moran said it didn’t matter.

“They’re still awful,” he said. “I made an announcement on Facebook immediately after and warned people that if they posted those photos, I would unfriend them and never talk to them again.”

Moran thinks the phobia stems from something deeper than just his disgust with the un-

natural appearance.

“I think I’m overly empathetic,” Moran said. “I identify with other people too much. So when I look at someone with an injury, I imagine it on myself. I naturally put myself in their shoes, but the images of the body parts were just too foreign and shocking.”

At some point in his life, Moran wants to do some form of exposure therapy similar to O’Connor’s.

But senior secondary education and social sciences major Alli McNeil is convinced no amount of exposure will rid her of her phobia: lepidopterophobia.

Butterflies, specifically the common orange and black Monarch butterflies, are enough to ruin McNeil’s whole day. Even pictures of the insect sends shivers down her spine.

“It’s horrible,” McNeil said. “If I see a butterfly coming my way, I will take a different route, even if it takes 10 times longer.”

She thinks the fear may come from her grandfather’s story about having a butterfly nest on his head that he told her when she was younger. Fake or not – the impact was long lasting.

McNeil’s friends use the phobia to mess with her for their own entertainment. McNeil

once came home to pictures of butterflies posted all over her room. Another time, they tried to drag her into the Butterfly and Insect Pavilion at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium as she gripped onto a pole with all of her strength.

“I just don’t know why they spent so much money on something like a butterfly exhibit,” she said in disgust. “I will never step foot in there. It’s not a ‘face your fear’ type thing – it just is what it is.”

Student delegates hope to represent Sanders at convention LYNN YEN DN Jhalisa Robinson’s denim jacket features a Black Lives Matter button and a red, white and blue “Bernie for President” button she got while waiting in line to hear the presidential candidate speak at the Lied Center for Performing Arts on Sunday, March 3.

Robinson almost cried when she saw the 194 fellow Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters at her caucus location on Sunday.

Sanders won the two county delegates at stake in precinct 3D, which covers University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus residents.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 11 supporters failed to reach the necessary 15 percent threshold to be an eligible candidate.

Robinson and fellow UNL student Josh Waltjer will represent Sanders at the Lancaster County Convention in May. When it came time to elect county caucus delegates, Robinson didn’t see any candidate that looked like her and felt compelled to run.

Robinson, a junior advertising and public relations major, is an African American woman. But Robinson looks beyond her categorizations.

“There are a lot more issues than colorism and sexism,” she said. “I want Bernie to win because he understands what equality means.”

The other delegate, Waltjer, has talked up

Sanders at every opportunity since first hearing about the Vermont senator while studying abroad last summer.

Once back in the U.S., Waltjer took his vocal praise door to door in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Waltjer, a senior political science major, currently serves as internal vice president of the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska. But he said he would not have made it to UNL without opportunities and sacrifices from his mom.

Waltjer said he grew up in a single-parent household in a low-income neighborhood in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. His mom enrolled Waltjer in a better high school on the other side of town. He received reduced lunch at school and paid for his Advanced Placement tests with a scholarship.

Sanders’ plan for free public college tuition resonates with Waltjer. Waltjer went to college on a full-ride scholarship. But he said he thinks back to his old neighborhood friends with high school diplomas and imagines how such a plan would have changed their lives.

“Was I that much better?” Waltjer asked.

“Not really.”

Robinson and Waltjer helped Sanders win Nebraska by a 14 percent margin. Based on the state caucus results, the county convention will nominate a proportional number of delegates to the state convention, and the state convention will nominate 10 national

ART BY HALEY HEESACKER | DN convention delegates for Hillary Clinton and 15 delegates for Bernie Sanders. Both Robinson and Waltjer hope to be among the 15 headed to Philadelphia for Sanders.

Arrested man to officer: ‘I got dope in my pocket’ EMILY MCMINN DN There were six different counts of vandalism on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s campus this past week.

Late Monday night, a UNL police officer went to the Eastside Suites to photograph a broken window of a study room on the third floor. The estimated damage is $500, and the investigation is still ongoing.

UNLPD was dispatched Wednesday, March 9 to the Lied Center for Performing Arts because grease-based chalk was found on a brick wall. The estimated damage was between $100 and $150.

The morning of Tuesday, March 10 three unknown individuals were caught on camera stealing a flag from the front of the Military

and Naval Science building.

Stephen Schaffart, a 55-year-old nonUNL affiliate, was arrested outside of Sandoz Residence Hall about 1:50 a.m. Saturday. A UNL Community Service Officer saw Schaffart pulling on bikes and making sawing motions. UNLPD searched Schaffart and found three wrenches, two multi-tools, a knife and cutting pliers.

After he was arrested, Schaffart was put into the back of a cruiser, where he reportedly told the arresting officer, “I got dope in my pocket.”

Upon reaching the jail, a corrections officer found a crystal-like white substance in the front right pocket of Schaffart’s jeans. The substance tested positive for methamphetamine.

Schaffart was arrested on suspicion of possessing burglary tools. A possession of a

controlled substance charge was later added.

A UNL student claimed to have accidentally pulled a fire alarm about 3:40 a.m. Sunday in his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Lincoln Fire and Rescue did not find any signs of a fire or smoke.

UNL student Rebecca Ehrenfried was pulled over after changing lanes in the middle of an intersection after 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Ehrenfried failed a breath test, and there were several opened bottles of alcohol in her car.

She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and cited for MIP, having an open container of alcohol in her car and changing lanes without signaling.

Maggie Owens, a sophomore elementary education major and Delta Gamma sorority member, dresses up as Princess Rose for her job at the Omaha Children’s Museum.

Practically a princess MARCELLA MERCER DN Several days each week in the summer, Princess Rose greets hundreds of fans in the Omaha Children’s Museum.

When some children meet her, they squeal with delight and launch themselves into her

gown. Others stand there, mouths hanging open, in disbelief that they’re speaking with their hero. Sometimes, children become so overwhelmed that they cry and run away.

Once in a while, a 7-year-old girl with a gaptoothed smile and brown bangs comes to see the princess in her gazebo. Just like so many other little girls, she gives the princess a hug. Then, she whispers just so Princess Rose can hear.

“Hi, Maggie,” the princess’ little sister says.

For the past four years, University of Nebraska-Lincoln sophomore Maggie Owens has spent her summers acting as a princess for programs at the Omaha Children’s Museum.

In her canary yellow gown, long, white gloves and tiara, visitors often tell Owens that she looks like the Disney princess Belle. Princess Rose assures them that Belle is actually her cousin and that they love to have tea parties together.

Her most adoring visitors tend to be between 1 and 9 years old, but parents share in the excitement of seeing her too.

The sophomore early childhood education major can play, sing and dance with crowds of more than 200 parents and children several times a day in the busier months of June and July. In summer 2014, there were nearly 19,000

Home-schooled students adapt to college life Home-schooled students take the skills they learned from their parents and local educators and apply them to college.

ELIZABETH REMBERT DN When people learn Addie Opitz was homeschooled, they are often shocked. Opitz, a junior global studies major from Omaha, has half her head shaved, and she stands confidently in her plaid flannel, black skinny jeans and combat boots. She’s effortlessly punk rock and doesn’t look like the stereotype of a home-schooled student.

People will ask Opitz to compare and contrast high school to home-school, but she said she can’t.

“I don’t have anything to compare it to,” she said. “For me, home-schooling was so natural. When I think about school, I think about home-schooling.”

Opitz was home-schooled up until college. She said her parents chose to homeschool because they’re “kind of hippies.”

“My parents are very untraditional, and they had had rough experiences in school, and they didn’t want to subject us to that,” she said.

Anne Greff, a freshman business management student from Lincoln, was also homeschooled from preschool until college.

“My parents wanted to be able to spend time with me, and wanted my education to be in a Christian environment,” Greff said.

The most common question people ask her about her home-school education, Opitz said, is whether she could sleep in.

“Heck yes, I did,” Opitz said. “Before high school, I didn’t get up before 10.”

Opitz said before high school, her education did not follow a strict structure.

“Sometimes, all day was recess,” she said. “It would be 75 degrees out, so we’d have school out on the picnic bench in our yard.” Opitz said. “Sometimes, we’d read books about the forest, and then spend the day in the forest and find things we had read in the book.”

Going to high school was a change from the relaxed environment, Greff and Opitz each said. Both Greff and Opitz attended home-schooling co-ops, where retired professors, local high school teachers and parents would teach classes for the home-schooling community. Home-schooled students could come and learn the things their parents could not teach in a classroom setting.

“It functioned a lot like a miniature college, with students taking classes here and there to fulfill credits,” Opitz said.

Greff and Opitz were involved in extracurriculars, Greff participating on a speech and debate team for home-schooled students, and Opitz joining mock trial. Greff said she was just as busy as any other high school student.

Addie Opitz, a junior global studies major from Omaha, said she was homeschooled because her parents were “hippies.”

Despite the shock, Opitz said home Greff and Opitz’s grades came from their parents, co-op teachers and college credit -schooling helped her ease into college.

“In high school, the learning was all on professors. Opitz said her parent’s direct inme. I would watch the videos and read the volvement in assigning and evaluating her textbooks, and I already knew how to learn schoolwork motivated her.

“That first semester was quite a shock,” class colors, Greff said – it was easy for Greff

and Opitz to find a place. The most common question Greff said she is asked is if she had friends. To this, Greff says, “I had a community in home-schooling through speech and all my activities. I had people around me that were like-minded, and my greatest friends are from the home schooling community. ” For Opitz, the home schooling community breaks down barriers between students.

Not having a class meant freshmen could be friends with seniors without any uncomfortable stigma.

“It didn’t matter the age of the person I was hanging out with,” Opitz said, “It mattered if we could have a connection.”

More than anything, Opitz said, home schooling shaped who she is today.

“I got to figure out who I was on my own,” she said. “I didn’t have other people trying to define me. I defined myself.”

No reported drug offenses on East Campus in 2015 JOSEPH MCCARTY FOR THE DN It’s all going to pot, except the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus.

Out of the 208 narcotics incidents university police responded to in 2015, most involved marijuana, but none were on East Campus.

The data, obtained from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department, does not list the campus where each alleged incident occurred, but does list the building, if applicable, and specific location.

The lack of drug incidents on East Campus could be explained by its small size, said Jerry Plessel, captain of operations at UNLPD. “East Campus, housing-wise, has a significantly smaller fraction of the population than what city (campus) does,” Plessel said.

The three East Campus residence halls – Burr Hall, Fedde Hall and Love Memorial Hall – together house only 306 residents, according to the Traditional/Suite-Style Halls 2015-16 Housing Contract Policies, found on University Housing’s website. Fedde and Love halls house fewer than 50 people each.

A single floor of Abel Hall on City Campus has 92 beds. The City Campus halls hold more than 6,000 residents total.

Plessel said there are also fewer community service officers and less housing staff on East Campus to report incidents in the first place.

“A lot of our calls will originate from RAs, RDs, calling us saying they can smell the odor of marijuana,” Plessel said.

But the largest residence hall on East Campus, Burr Hall, holds 222 residents, only six fewer than City Campus’s Pound Hall, where university police responded to two incidents in 2015.

Kenny McFarland, a second-year veterinary student on East Campus, said the absence of drug incidents there may be due to the large number of rural students living on the agriculture-centered campus.

“I think they might be less likely to do stuff like that, but I’m sure some do,” McFarland said. “It’s a lot quieter here.”

There were narcotics incidents close to the campus, according to the data.

Across the street from the campus, at 3301 Holdrege St., a Kwik Shop, police responded to two drug possession incidents, both of which

ended in arrests.

There were also four possession incidents near the intersection of N. 33rd and Holdrege streets at the southwest corner of the campus, three on the street and one on a sidewalk. All four incidents ended in arrests, according to the data.

Plessel said the lack of through streets in East Campus keeps these incidents from spilling over into the campus. It’s possible to drive from Holdrege Street to Leighton Avenue by going through the campus, Plessel said, but it’s easier to go around it and take 33rd or 48th Street.

“So there’s not really a bunch of through traffic going through East Campus,” Plessel said.

Blake Ristine, a sophomore agriculture economics major, said he was not surprised there were no incidents on East Campus because of the students who live and study there.

“A lot of them are instilled with the values to, you know, keep their nose clean,” Ristine said.

less of the situation. Hunter McDonald, a senior theatre performance major at UNL, said that in her five years performing as a princess, she’s had to think fast when children ask her strange questions.

“They can ask some really weird stuff,” she said. “Lots of times, it’s things like ‘Where do you live?’ or ‘Do you have a prince?’ or ‘Can I see your shoes?’ But I mean, definitely some weird stuff, like ‘Princess, what would happen if you didn’t have any teeth?’”

When McDonald was first working as Princess Lily, children would consistently ask her if she had legs. She had to prevent children from crawling under her gown as they tried to figure it out for themselves.

“Princessing” has helped McDonald gain many skills, she said. As an actor, it’s improved her improvisation and confidence in dealing with the unexpected. She’s also learned how to

occupy children, she said.

“All four of us could talk to a brick wall for 20 minutes,” she said. “Sometimes, (the children) don’t talk to you because they’re too nervous, but you have to keep talking.”

It can be challenging to maintain the princess persona at all times, especially when having a bad day, McDonald said.

“It can be hard sometimes to still put on a smile and do your job because the kids can tell if you’re fake smiling,” she said. “You’ve heard ‘Let it Go’ 10 times that day, but the kids are so amazed. You can look out and see those kids, and it makes the day so much better.”

The princesses also look out for each other, getting together after shows to talk about the funniest and most memorable moments with the children.

McDonald said one of her favorite interactions was when a mother told her she had helped

raise her daughter’s self-confidence. Princesses try to complement the children on different things. The mother thanked the princesses for commenting on her daughter’s glasses, which made her feel less insecure about wearing them.

“It’s a fleeting second for us, but for (the children) it’s a life-changing feeling,” she said.

Owens said being a princess allows her to make an impact in children’s lives.

“You can tell just by their hugs what they’ve gotten out of the experience,” she said. “That they truly believe in magic and that imagination is so present. Just realizing that I am making a difference through my character is really special.”

corners of campus, and form a perfect ratio of those who have ASUN involvement, and those who do not. Fourteen of the thirty-four are not currently in involved in ASUN, and will bring fresh and unique perspectives to student government.

Leadership Associates, the Government Liaison Committee, Academic Committee, Committee for Diversity and Inclusion and even Chief of Staff. Additionally, Leemah, Stetson, and Spencer did not meet this year and decide to run for ASUN; they have known each other since the beginning of their college careers. They have been working with each other inside and outside of ASUN for three years. This allows them to work efficiently and effectively, bounce ideas off of each other, and be open and vulnerable. These are important

qualities that are unique to the Elevate executive team.

Voting will take place on MyRED between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on March 15.

After reading about the differences between the remaining parties, we hope you see that if this campus is to be raised to new heights, Elevate is the only way to vote on Tuesday.

PRINCESS: FROM 6 visitors to Fairytale Land, where the princesses hold their programs.

To maintain the fairy tale magic, Owens has to keep her identity as a college student a secret.

To the children, she’s Princess Rose or occasionally other characters that resemble Tinker Bell, Anna and Ariel. If someone asks her if she goes to college, she says that she goes to “Princess School.”

“We have to learn all the basics like manners, math and science,” she said.

But in reality, working with children in her job corresponds well with her major.

“You really see the developmental stages of kids,” she said. “Just the different ways kids learn and process. Each kid is unique and different, which I think is really important to know as an education major.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Envision Party endorses Radiate for ASUN » »Editor’s note: The following is a letter to the editor written by the Envision Party. A runoff election between Elevate and Radiate will occur on Tuesday, March 15 on MyRed.unl.edu from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Envision Party has made a collective decision to endorse Radiate in the ASUN Student Government run-off Election on March 15th. Multiple factors contributed to this decision, and we are grateful that the Daily Nebraskan has allowed us to articulate these reasons in their publication.

First and foremost, Radiate has run a very positive campaign. Radiate showed commitment to their campaign by holding a large number of informational events leading up to the election and worked hard to expand their outreach to non-traditional voters. Even while we were campaigning against one another, Radiate always maintained mutual respect for our candidates and platforms. If a question or point of clarification was needed regarding any of our platforms, Radiate asked our party members in a professional manner during debates. Through their tireless work, the entire Radiate team has earned our respect and we believe that this work has earned them the respect of the voters.

Radiate has also demonstrated their desire to be open to student input.

An integral part of their platform was the voices of their senators and of the student body as a whole, even those not involved with ASUN. We believe the ideology of openness brought forth by Radiate will allow us to achieve the goals we set out to achieve while still being open to the whole student body. This openness will allow us greater flexibility to build a coalition movement in ASUN this year that will allow us to achieve our mutual goals.

In Senate and on the campaign trail, our team has seen proven and consistent leadership from Spencer, Laurel and Morgan. As Speaker of the Senate in ASUN this year, Spencer Hartman has stood by his beliefs while also maintaining an openness to compromise and incorporation of others’ ideas. Under his leadership, we have seen a very productive year in ASUN that we feel would only continue under his leadership as the President of ASUN. Laurel has remained consistently dedicated to ASUN throughout her time at UNL, and chaired a Communications Committee that oversaw the largest voter turnout in ASUN history. While serving on the Tech Fee Allocation Committee this past year, Morgan was the driving force to the movement that allowed all students to access the Adobe Creative Cloud.

We are certain that these candidates will continue to work hard to advance the goals of all students at UNL.

Sincerely, The Envision Party

Nebraska saves its best with back against the wall BRETT NIERENGARTEN DN INDIANAPOLIS - After the conclusion of 11thseeded Nebraska’s 70-58 win against No. 6-seed Wisconsin, Tai Webster became the locker room D.J. The junior grabbed a speaker, blasted Wiz Khalifa’s “We Dem Boyz” and danced in the corner of the locker room with fellow guards Glynn Watson, Johnny Trueblood and Bakari Evelyn.

At the same time, senior Shavon Shields walked around the shaking every one of his teammate’s hand and giving them a hug.

Two different reactions, but the same thing uniting them. After an often times frustrating season, all of the players had one thing uniting them, an overwhelming feeling of exhilaration.

“I could feel goosebumps on my legs, because I was just so happy for these guys,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. “I saw just extreme joy, you know, tough minded group playing together, finding a way, you know.”

With their backs against the wall, Nebraska became the team it wanted to be all season. A resilient team who used relentless pressure to score, and win. On Thursday night, the Huskers were just that, a team that gave Wisconsin 40 minutes of hell.

“Tim’s team played and beat us to every 50/50 ball, every loose ball. I thought they played with great energy,” Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said. “Every single category, they

were better than we were.”

It was an old fashioned slugfest. It was 26-21 at halftime. Nebraska held Wisconsin to 16-of-53 shooting and the Huskers attempted just eight 3-pointers. It was ball-pressure and getting out in transition and attacking the rim nonstop for the Huskers.

“If we could just space the floor and kind of go isolation basketball or playground basketball, then we had an advantage,” Miles said. “I thought with some quickness and some power, that could get to the rim or get fouls.”

In the first half, Wisconsin players who weren’t forward Vitto Brown, who was 5-of5 shooting, were 2-of-19. Two. With all of the weapons Wisconsin has, first-team All-Big Ten forward Nigel Hayes, third-team All-Big Ten point guard Bronson Koenig and Big Ten Freshman of the Year Ethan Happ, it still could only manage to score 21 points on NU. Every time Happ caught the ball, Michael Jacobson was there with a Nebraska guard flying down to double.

Every time Hayes tried to attack, Andrew White or Shields was with him step-for-step.

Every time Koenig tried to create, Tai Webster was in his grill.

Nebraska had all of the answers Thursday night.

Hayes and Koenig, who combine to score 30 points per game, had no field goals in the first

Old friends comfort Stokes after injury BECCA MANN DN

After being on the road for the first three weeks of the 2016 season, senior Kiki Stokes and the Nebraska softball opened at home against Wichita State March 5.

After a 6-4 win in the first game, the Huskers set their sights on finishing the first day of the series with a sweep against the Shockers.

Starting the bottom of the first inning, senior Kiki Stokes warmed up and took her spot at home plate. After a few practice swings, she looked toward the mound as Husker fans cheered.

The Shockers’ pitcher wound up and threw a ball toward home plate. But before Stokes had the opportunity to swing, the ball popped the right side of her face just below her ear.

Stokes immediately grabbed her jaw. Not surprisingly, Nebraska trainers and coaches immediately rushed to her side as she knelt to the ground.

What is surprising is the relationship she has with one of the first people who came to her side, Wichita State pitcher Jenni Brooks.

“Getting hit just hurt really bad at first,” Stokes said. “I couldn’t really think anything, but Jenni was one of the first or second people to come over to just make sure I was OK.” Brooks was the pitcher responsible for the ball that hit Stokes but she’s also one of Stokes’ closest childhood friends.

“Now we laugh about it because honestly, it could have happened to anybody,” Stokes said. “The fact that it ended up being me made it even more funny.”

Brooks and Stokes grew up in Olathe, Kansas, attended Olathe East High School and played club ball for the DeMarini Zephyrs. They met in seventh grade and for the next five years, traveled with and played for the same teams.

Brooks and Stokes grew up just a little more than a two-hour drive from the Wichita State campus. Stokes knows many of the Shockers and has known some since she was in elementary school.

Stokes’ relationships with other players span to other colleges across the country.

“A lot of the girls I played high school ball with are now playing all around the county,” Stokes said. “I get to see a lot of those girls when we go to tournaments all around.”

The relationships Stokes has with these players allow her to see a familiar face at many of the games on Nebraska’s schedule. Having support from a familiar face can help in situations like Stokes’ injury from the wild pitch.

“In the end, I wasn’t mad about anything,” Stokes said with a laugh. “Just more so worried about whether or not I had broken my jaw.”

Stokes left the game early to be examined at the hospital. Due to the injury, she missed the final game of the series, snapping 143 straight starts.

Stokes did recover in time to join her team as it traveled to its next tournament in Tempe, Arizona.

A senior, Stokes said she’s focusing on having fun and leaving everything out on the field.

With warm weather in Lincoln and Husker fans returning to the stands, the team is looking forward to having support as it gears up for the remainder of the home season.

“The nicest thing is being at home and be-

Hot-shooting Terps sprint past NU in quarterfinal Any Cinderella-like run in Indy was put to bed quickly, as Maryland shot 59 percent from three-point territory in Friday’s quarterfinal game.

RILEY BOWDEN DN INDIANAPOLIS — Maryland forward Jake Layman apparently wanted the late Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal to be over quick. He hit his first three shots, all from beyond the arc, and gave the Terrapins a 12-9 lead at the first media timeout.

Maryland started hot and stayed hot Friday, defeating Nebraska 97-86 and securing a date with Michigan State in the semifinal.

“Their pace and their effectiveness on offense and from the three point line, the way they shot the ball, especially early, it was just hard to get them under control,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said.

Despite trailing by as many points as 25, a scrappy Nebraska team was able to pull within six points of Maryland late in the game.

Andrew White III got hot late, hitting three three-pointers in a row to narrow a 15-point gap with less than two minutes to play.

After White brought the Huskers within six, they needed a stop with about a minute left. They got the stop, but a foul call on the rebound gave Damonte Dodd a chance to extend on the line. He hit the front end, but an offensive rebound forced Nebraska to foul again. Rasheed Sulaiman hit two free throws, icing the game.

“I’m very proud of our team. They showed a tremendous amount of heart and

fight,” Miles said. “I think a lesser team maybe would have folded. Our guys showed grit, toughness, heart, soul, whatever you want to call it, to battle back.”

In the first half, Maryland hit its first seven attempts from beyond the arc and would finish the half 9-of-10 from three-point range.

Layman, who averages just more than 10 points per game, scored 17 points in 18 minutes of play. By game’s end, the senior put up a team-high 26.

“Layman was just, that’s as good as I have seen Jake play,” Miles said. “That’s the way a senior should go out.”

Maryland had Nebraska running all over the court in the first half with exceptional ball movement spearheaded by second-team all-conference selection Melo Trimble. Trimble finished the half with six assists. Many of those assists were to Diamond Stone and Robert Carter, who finished the half with 10 and eight points, respectively.

The Terrapins finished the half at more than 70 percent from the field.

“They did a good job sharing the ball and getting their big touches early,” White said.

“They made some tough shots, and that’s just kind of how it goes.”

Maryland took a 54-37 lead into the locker room and there wasn’t much of a dropoff at the start of the second half. Trimble started the half with a three-pointer, which was followed by a steal and dunk by Layman. By the first media timeout, Maryland had stretched its lead to 25.

But the Huskers had a run. A long possession, which included a couple of 50/50 balls grabbed by Ed Morrow, ended with a bucket from Tai Webster in the lane. In the next five minutes, Nebraska pulled within 13 points.

Then the Terrapin lead held steady until the outburst from White.

Maryland never really slowed down.

The 97 points by the Terrapins are the most scored by a single team in a Big Ten tournament game. They ended the game 60 percent from the field and 59 percent from beyond

Andrew White III goes up for a layup in Friday’s quarterfinal loss to Maryland. White led the Huskers with 25 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Terrapins. the three-point line.

White, Webster and Shavon Shields led the way for Nebraska. The trio scored 25, 17 and 19 points, respectively. “We had some tough battles this year, but I think we did a good job,” Webster said. “Obviously no one picked us to be here except us. We knew we could get this far. We knew what we could do.”

Nebraska could snag an invite to a postseason tournament. The College Basketball Invitational and the Vegas 16 are the most likely places the Huskers could end up.

feel it in the locker room because of the team’s mindset.

It didn’t hit Benny Parker until there was less than a minute left.

For Shields, it was a combination of both Parker and Watson’s answer, he said there was no specific moment but he could tell before the game everyone believed the team could get it done.

For senior captains Shields and Parker, this game meant even more than the rest of the team because it meant they could keep their college careers going.

“They get so excited because they don’t

want it to end,” Miles said.

You could see their emotion and energy throughout, Parker was on the floor twice diving for loose balls in the first two minutes of the game. Shields, who missed the previous meeting between these two teams this season, had two big and-1s. On the first, he stopped and gave a huge fist pump under the basket and the second he looked at Nebraska’s bench and gave what appeared to be John Cena’s “you can’t see me” celebration.

Shields admitted he may have been a little too amped up in the first half, but how could he not be?

He had a freshman forward in Michael Jacobson screaming after every big play and a head coach who gave such a big fist pump on Tai Webster drive and bucket that his tie flipped over his shoulder and on to his back.

How could Miles and Shields, who have been through more than anyone this season not be that fired up? They just watched their team play a near-perfect game when they needed them to the most.

transformed her year-long wait.

“Good things come to those who wait,” Holman said. “So I just had to keep telling myself that and just continue to put the team first, knowing my patience and my hard work would all pay off eventually.”

And Holman’s mentor and coach has noticed how Holman’s transfer issues may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

“At the beginning, what hurt and was crushing is maybe now a total favor,” Tamas said. “She’s really good, and she’s on another

level right now.”

BACKS AGAINST WALL: FROM 11 half. None.

“We were kind of taken by surprise at how hard they were going on both ends of the floor,” Brown said.

And who wouldn’t be? How could Wisconsin, who won four of its last five games, expect a Husker team who had only beaten Penn State and Rutgers since Jan. 22 to come out and punch them in the mouth the way they did?

When you asked a Nebraska player when they knew they were going to win the game, their answer varied.

NU takes 3-of-5 at Louisville Slugger invite ROSS MILLER DN Nebraska came into the Louisville Slugger Invitational with a 12-4 record and a No. 23 national ranking. The Huskers went 3-2 in the invitational, only losing to nationally ranked James Madison University and Arizona State.

Nebraska kicked off the weekend with another win against a top 10 opponent.

The Huskers were blanked in the first three innings and trailed the No. 9 Dukes of James Madison University 4-0. That all changed in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Cassie McClure’s RBI single started the scoring for Nebraska and cut the lead to 4-1. An error by Madyson Moran plated Alicia Armstrong in the next at-bat, making the score 4-2.

Nebraska gained its first lead of the game on a clutch grand slam by Austen Urness.Then, MJ Knighten hit her 12th home run of the year, a two-run bomb that pushed the lead to 8-4.

“I don’t know if they have ever had eight runs scored on them in an inning,” coach Rhonda Revelle said after the game. “We just took it at-bat by at-bat and it really worked for us.”

That lead held through the rest of the game, and Nebraska gained its second win against a top-ten opponent this year. It beat No. 7 Oregon Feb. 26.

Nebraska’s second game of the weekend did not go as well.

No. 21 Arizona State blanked Nebraska 6-0 and held it to 5 hits.

After three scoreless frames, seven of the first eight Sun Devil batters reached first base in the fourth inning. Four runs were plated in the inning.

Two more runs were added in the fifth inning on solo home runs by Jennifer Soria and Nichole Chilson.

Arizona State’s offense slowed down, but Kelsey Kessler stepped up and blanked the Huskers in the next two frames to win the game 6-0.

“A lot of people were talking and saying that was the best game she’s thrown all year.

It’s just unfortunate it came against us,” Revelle said.

Friday night’s scoring lull carried into Saturday morning.

James Madison recovered from its loss to Nebraska the day before and beat it 7-0.

After a Morgan Tolle walk, Megan Good laced an RBI double, starting the scoring for the Dukes.

The Dukes added one run in the second inning, two in the fourth and three in the fifth, blanking Nebraska by seven runs.

LOUISVILLE INVITE: FROM 14 Jailyn Ford tossed a two-hit complete game shutout against the Huskers, who fell to 13-6 on the year.

Nebraska bounced back quickly against conference foe Ohio State Saturday afternoon.

“We thought after those two games that this is not the team we are and we need to change that and pick it up,” junior Cassie McClure said.

They trailed 4-2 going into the sixth inning

but scored three in the inning, which was highlighted by a two-run double by Kaylan Jablonski.

The Huskers made a double play in the seventh inning, winning 5-4 win.

The next opponent for Nebraska was Georgetown.

After trading runs through the third inning, Nebraska took control in the bottom of the

fourth, despite having zero hits.

Six Huskers walked in the fourth inning alone.

“We knew that that pitcher had thrown a lot over the course of the weekend and she had some control problems. One of our goals was to make her bring it in the zone, and I thought we did a really great job,” Revelle said.

Four Nebraska runs were plated in the in-

ning, but none came from a hit..

After the runs, Nebraska led 6-3. With a six-run inning in the fifth, the Huskers won the game 12-4, moving to 15-6 on the year.

The Huskers combined for two homers, three doubles and a single in the fifth inning.
