LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS

Dear reader,

This is a difficult letter for me to write. Not because of the subject matter – because of my sunburn. The red swath of scales formerly known as my back tends to ache more when I move my arms. I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling the literal pain of spring break coming to an end. But I didn’t earn my sunburn at Panama City Beach or South Padre Island. I got it at Disney World, where I spent my break with Daily Nebraskan copy chief Stacie Sikora and managing editor Conor Dunn. We had a blast. During our seven days in Florida, we explored all four Disney parks, spent a day at the beach (where, OK, I acquired the majority of my sunburn) and hit Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Here’s what I learned. 1.Trying to get a picture without people in it is a pointless waste of time. I can safely estimate there were more visitors spread among Disney’s four parks on any given day last week than there are people in Lincoln. This is great for Disney World and for people who enjoy swimming in a sea of sweaty human bodies, but it’s decidedly not great for people who want a picture of Cinderella’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom without any strangers standing in front of it holding selfie sticks. Several dozen people I’ve never met will be immortalized in the cell phone pictures I took at Disney. At first I was irritated by their mysterious ability to pop into the frame out of nowhere, just as I thought I was about to snap a shot without any looming figures blocking the Peter Pan ride or the Japanese temple or even a bed of flowers a foot in front of me. Then I realized this ability probably has something to do with the patented magic of Disney, so I should probably chill out about random people appearing in photos that will be viewed by exactly no one. I can only wonder how many pictures I ruined with my stupid body. 2. Everyone looks good in a rain poncho. And by everyone, I mean no one. It rained three days out of the four we spent in the parks, so we got to know our plastic hooded ponchos pretty well. The cool thing about Disney is that, although its engineers haven’t figured out a way to rainproof the parks, no one seems to care much when water pours from the sky. They just tug on their $9 ponchos and keep going. And in the face of such determination, it’s hard to care about your frizzy hair or shapeless silhouette. 3. Kids aren’t so bad. I’m not saying I like them or anything. They cry, yell, pee their pants on rides and never say “excuse me.” But standing on a packed bus early in the trip, I looked at a distressed woman try-

ing desperately to soothe the crying baby in her lap and felt – what’s that? Empathy? It was about 9 o’clock, and the woman and the baby had both clearly had a long day. It wasn’t the woman’s fault her child was crying, although half the people aboard the bus were shooting her dirty looks as if it were. Viewing children through a lens of empathy – trying to, anyway – helped me relax a little. The other nifty thing about children is how easily everything impresses them. I had the most fun at Disney when I channeled my inner child by skipping around in the rain, yelling to my heart’s content and darting away from my companions without warning to get a closer look at something shiny. 4. It’s impossible to get through the World Showcase at Epcot. The first time I traversed the world while never actually leaving Florida, at age 14, I got bored and lost interest halfway. But now I’m a sophisticated 21-year-old, so I was intent on taking my time around the globe. Much to my chagrin, Conor and I ran out of time after China and had to dash through Norway and Mexico without taking in the sights. But hey, nine countries in one day would be a record for most. I don’t think vacations are about seeing every single thing you wanted to see, anyway –reducing your trip to checking items off a list takes away from the fun of it all. There’s a life lesson in there somewhere.

Sincerely, Jacy Marmaduke Editor-in-chief

Sustainability efforts at UNL have reduced energy usage by about 40 percent since the year 2000, and the trend shows few signs of letting up.

GO (BIG) GREEN Fifteen years ago, UNL’s energy usage nearly peaked. Today’s numbers paint a much greener picture.

How UNL cut energy consumption nearly in half JUSTIN PERKINS DN In 2000, following a decade-long building boom, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln nearly reached peak energy usage. Around that time, new large-scale research facilities opened on campus, the Kauffman Center became a home and workspace to hundreds of students, and expansions dramatically altered Memorial Stadium and the Nebraska Union. The construction proved a deep strain on energy resources. The thousands of square feet of additional space had to be heated and cooled, clothes had to be washed and dried, and rooms had to be connected and lit. Most buildings on campus operated 24 hours a day. UNL’s utility usage that year was the energy equivalent of about 2 gallons of gasoline for every square foot of building area – for millions of square feet of space. In the years since, an unlikely trend has emerged. Construction hasn’t slowed, but UNL’s

energy usage has seen a dramatic decline. And that trend doesn’t appear to be reversing anytime soon. In a 2012 presentation at NU Tech Day, UNL Facilities and Maintenance reported a roughly 40 percent decrease in energy usage from 2000. The decrease was said to have saved the university $10 million in the previous year alone on account of conservation efforts and changes in energy costs. Faculty members say the decline represents a fundamental cultural shift. As concerns about climate change have arisen, Americans in general have made large-scale efforts to reduce energy usage. Per capita energy consumption in the United States peaked in the mid-2000s and appears to have been declining ever since. At UNL and other learning institutions, students have largely led the charge. Today, the utility plants powering both campuses provide energy to about 9.4 million gross square feet of space. Their combined heating and cooling capacity could heat and cool 5,000 single family homes the size of 2,000 square feet. But their energy, it appears, is being used much

more efficiently than it would have 15 years ago. UNL’s sustainability coordinator, Prabhakar Shrestha, said that much of the decline in energy usage resulted from UNL Facilities and Maintenance’s attempts to improve efficiency around campus, eliminating what he calls the “low-hanging fruit.” Shrestha said that since 2003, the university has eliminated over-ventilation in buildings, installed movement sensors for lights, newer and more efficient chillers for air conditioning, in addition to a thermal energy storage system on East Campus. Most buildings now run on controlled schedules. The Animal Science Complex has begun using a 36KW solar power system. The Nebraska Innovation Campus, meanwhile, has emerged as a leader of efficiency at UNL, utilizing state-of-theart heating and cooling systems and implementing new measures to reduce waste. Dave Gosselin, director of Environmental Studies at UNL, said the momentum behind sustainability efforts here has often relied on the issue’s broad appeal. “What sustainability is about is using the re-

sources you have as efficiently as you can,” Gosselin said. This principle has brought together people who are passionate about issues of equity and environmental activism with those who desire to reduce waste and energy usage as a means to save money. While UNL has lagged behind at the institutional level in these efforts (UNL was among the last Big Ten Conference schools to establish an Office of Sustainability and sustainability coordinator position), the university has led the charge in sustainability in other ways. In the early 1980s, UNL began its first steps in energy management. Staff at UNL’s Building Systems Maintenance at that time entirely designed and built an in-house Energy Management and Control System. Today, the EMCS tracks real-time energy data for more than 130 campus buildings, allowing maintenance workers to optimize energy use throughout campus.

Unlikely source will fuel NIC heating and cooling systems BAILEY SCHULZ DN To heat and cool the University of Nebraska-Lincoln more efficiently, administrators have turned to the city’s sewers. Part of Nebraska Innovation Campus since last August, the Central Renewable Energy System Plant leads the university’s environmental efforts by producing energy from the utilization of wastewater, which is first purified in the Theresa Street Wastewater Treatment Facility adjacent to NIC. Effluent from the facility is pumped through the CRES plant, and the energy that would have otherwise gone straight into Salt Creek is instead used to heat and cool buildings located at NIC. “One way to think about it is when students on campus take a shower or flush the toilet or whatever, all of that goes into the city’s wastewater treatment plant,” said NIC Executive Director Dan Duncan. “The byproduct of all of that is a constant flow of water: 15,000-gallons-a-minute, at 60 degrees water, that is cleaned and then put into Salt Creek.” So instead of putting the filtered water immediately back into Salt Creek, NIC borrows the water and runs it through a 6,000-foot loop of pipe. The average temperature of that water varies between 55 and 75 degrees over the course of the year, said Rhett Zeplin, assistant director of UNL’s Facilities Management & Planning Utility Services. Heat exchangers help control the temperature of the energy running through NIC’s buildings. “Right now we only have one building we’ve been serving and that’s the original 4-H building,” Zeplin said. “And then the greenhouse complex is about ready to come onto the system, probably in another couple weeks.” The Food Innovation Center will be the third building ready for the system in July.

Sustainability coordinator brings energy, ideas to the job COLLEEN FELL DN Prabhakar Shrestha knows that small changes are key to making a larger impact. Shrestha, University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s first sustainability coordinator, is working to help students and faculty change their daily habits and raise awareness of the impact small, greener steps can make. Shrestha, who often goes by “Prabs,” has always been one for sustainability and preservation. Raised in Nepal, Shrestha said he was always close to and inspired by nature growing up. Often surrounded by scenery of mountains and birds, he said he learned to honor the land and nature. Though Nepal is more than 7,500 miles from Nebraska, Shrestha said the same principles can still apply. “It’s not dissimilar to Nebraska; farmers know how to respect the land,” Shrestha said. While he was a graduate student of environmental science at UNL, Shrestha also acted as recycling coordinator, as he has for the past six years. He said he’s motivated by seeing how he has the ability to ingrain what he calls good, green practices in others. His experience has also shown him that the time to improve UNL’s sustainability is now. “When I read about a problem, I want to do something about it right then,” he said. His high energy and urgent attitude makes him perfect for the job, said Jimmy Jackson, executive director of facilities maintenance and operations at UNL. Jackson, who is a supervisor for Shrestha, said he’s a well-respected member within the sustainability organization. His colleagues call him a high-energy worker. “He’s very aggressive and sometimes we have to pull him back a bit,” Jackson said, “but that’s a good thing.” Jackson, who has worked at UNL for 13 years, said the learning between him and Shrestha is a two-way street, as Shrestha brings a fresh, student perspective. “His passion for his work is totally incredible,” Jackson said. Shrestha is currently in the middle of several sustainability projects at UNL. One big part of his work is putting together “Green Teams,” which will compriseUNL staff members and part-time student workers. The teams will help to improve green habits around campus, such as making sure lights are turned off and minimizing waste. Shrestha also wants his idea to turn into a sort of competition for campus housing and other campus buildings. He and others are currently working to gather campus sustainability information and provide a way to show feedback of energy use – all in real time. For example, if a garbage truck collected waste from a residence hall, its residents would be able to go online and see the weight of the waste immediately. The feedback would also show things like energy consumption and how much is being recycled. “The point is to make each group accountable,” Shrestha said. “You turn the lights off in your house, but you might not here because you’re not paying for it.” Shrestha said energy use is the university’s

UNL’s sustainability coordinator, Prabhakar Shrestha, says students can take small steps to contribute toward the university’s ongoing sustainability efforts. second-highest cost each year, so these programs will pay for themselves. Despite his success with his programs so far, Shrestha hasn’t forgotten his student roots. Reed Brodersen, a senior environmental studies and biological sciences major and chairman of the ASUN Environmental Sustainability Committee at UNL, works alongside Shrestha and said he understands the challenges that students can face in the way of sustainability. “He’s a great listener,” Brodersen said. “He takes student opinion at a high value.” Aside from sustainability ideas, Brodersen said Shrestha has also taught students how to expand their reason and rhetoric when talking to people of different backgrounds. According to Brodersen, Shrestha isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Brodersen began working with Go Green for Big Red, a program that encourages recycling at Husker football home games, during the 2012-2013 season. He said Shrestha was always excited about rescuing recyclables from the garbage. “He’s one of the guys that would jump in the dumpster and pull out garbage,” Brodersen said. Shrestha said some of his most gratifying moments happen when working with the pro-

gram, as it keeps thousands of pounds of plastic from going to a landfill each week. More than a coordinator, he’s an ally for students, Brodersen said. “He made everyone feel welcome and realize that we are part of a bigger experience,” Brodersen said. “The strength of the sustainability committee is unique to UNL.” Shrestha encourages students from any major to volunteer for the sustainability organization. “I’ll take any help I can get right now,” he said.

Even if a student can’t work directly with Shrestha, he said it’s still important to do one’s part by paying attention to daily habits. He suggests riding a bike instead of driving or using a refillable water bottle. He said these habits are usually money-saving. At the end of the day, Shrestha said, it really is the students who have the most impact on sustainability at UNL. “It’s your university,” he said. “Use your initiative.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBERASKAN.COM

Late grade check makes Izu ineligible for ASUN election LANI HANSON DN

ART BY ALLY FRAME | DN

Sustainability leaders say Green Fund vote represents progress NEWS DESK DN Earlier this month, more than three-quarters of student voters approved the possible implementation of a fund to make the University of Nebraska-Lincoln greener. The Green Fund was approved with 78 percent of the vote, but it’s up to next year ’s Association of Students of the University of Nebraska to explore implementation of the fund. The survey question on this spring’s ASUN ballot was merely to gauge students’ interest and support of the possibility. The fund would tentatively be operated by an independent committee of students and faculty that will approve grants made by interested parties. The idea came from UNL’s Big Ten Conference peers. UNL is 1 of 4 universities without a similar program. Six Big Ten universities’ Green Funds are funded entirely by students – like UNL’s fund could be – while four others receive contributions from or are

funded by the institution itself. “Ideally, we’d like the institution to step up and start helping students make the university a better place for all of us,” Reed Brodersen, chairman of the ASUN’s Environmental Sustainability Committee, said in the Feb. 17 Daily Nebraskan. “But we haven’t yet seen anything like that coming from the university, so we think it’s time for students to step in and really start to shape the institutional agenda.” The idea was floated in the committee in 2012, but Brodersen said the committee didn’t feel that the university was ready for the commitment at the time. “Sustainability was really not very well understood by students,” Brodersen said. “I think we’ve come a long way since then; now it’s an issue that ASUN is talking about, that the DN is talking about and that students in their classrooms are talking about as well. So we really think now is an appropriate time.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

Trespassers start trash can fire outside Abel Hall LANI HANSON DN The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department responded to several reports of trespassing over spring break, including one that involved arson. Non-student Logan Thomas was cited for first-degree trespassing and third-degree arson Thursday after being identified as one of two males who entered Abel Hall while it was closed for spring break. Petersen said a custodial worker let them in the building around 6:15 a.m., after one of them said he was trying to visit his girlfriend, who works at the front desk. The two males took the elevator to the eighth floor before returning to the first floor, where they remained for a few minutes be-

fore leaving via the west entrance at about 6:30 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, staff discovered a trash can fire outside the west side of Abel Hall. A CCTV camera showed two males placing papers inside the trash can and lighting them on fire. Last Saturday, four students were cited for second-degree trespassing after an officer saw them climbing out of a steam tunnel near 1144 T St. Tanner Kirchhoff, Marshall Dean, Timothy Kubert and Gregory Dittman acknowledged that they entered the steam tunnel in an attempt to trespass onto the football field inside of Memorial Stadium. Two days later, on Monday morning, an officer was waived down by a UNL Landscape Services Department employee re-

garding another trespassing complaint. A non-student was contacted inside The Porch gazebo after having been found sleeping there overnight and was issued a UNL Trespass Policy Letter regarding the incident. “(The campus is) a public place, but we’re not board and room,” UNLPD Sgt. Doug Petersen said. “We’ve been doing this for years. They find little nooks and crannies on campus and camp out.” Petersen said if a student were to be caught sleeping on campus, he or she would likely not be cited for trespassing, but an officer would wake the student up to make sure that he or she is OK. “A transient, if we don’t contact them and let them know what’s going on, it’ll become a habit,” Petersen said. “They usually don’t cause any problems, but as a student if you

walk in on them, you’re going to be startled.” UNLPD is also investigating a disturbance that was reported Wednesday by the father of a UNL student who may have been a victim of sexual assault during the night of March 13 into the early morning of March 14. Petersen said the incident involved a male attempting to fondle the female student. The father said his daughter didn’t want to report the attempted assault, but he was concerned that the person responsible “could do this to someone else,” according to the report. Persons involved have been contacted and scheduled to come in to UNLPD, and officers discussed safety planning and resources with the victim. NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

In 2010, the Environmental Sustainability Committee was added to ASUN. Brodersen said the committee’s importance became widely recognized after just one semester, when it became an executive committee. That same year, ASUN also added an Environmental Leadership Program that sought to engage young student leaders in issues of sustainability. “It was really indicative at that time of students and student leaders who recognized the validity of sustainability as an issue and one that will always be necessary to address and something everyone can engage with,” Brodersen said. Then in 2011, a group called Sustain UNL formed, aiming to make UNL a greener, more sustainable campus. This year, UNL students overwhelmingly supported the establishment of a Green Fund dedicated to sustainability on campus. Compared with other Big Ten schools, UNL’s student-led programs are some of the most comprehensive efforts toward sustainability practices, Broderson said. He pointed to the Greeks Going Green program, a sustainability awareness effort that he said has nearly 100 percent participation. Other examples included Earthstock, a month-long celebration of sustainability efforts, support for a bike share program and the foam free UNL initiative. Of course, there have been some hurdles. UNL Facilities and Maintenance introduced its

Campus Energy Management Plan in 2010, setting a goal of reducing energy consumption in state-funded buildings on City and East campuses by at least 15 percent by 2015. Since then, energy use at UNL has continued to decrease. However, compared to the decade before, the rate of reduction has slowed. Shrestha said the construction of new lab buildings that require high amounts of energy has caused the reduction of usage to slow down. The broader trend, however, has persisted well into the new decade. Recently, UNL became the first Big Ten university to receive the Cleaning Industry Management Green Building with Honors certification from the International Sanitary Supply Association. The certification was awarded for UNL Custodial Services’ conservation efforts and its dedications to using environmentally responsible cleaning products. Now, with student approval of a green fund at UNL and the establishment of the Office of Sustainability this year, Brodersen said students and staff are working in concert to promote conservation and environmental sustainability. Their efforts appear to be working. In 2013, UNL recycled 53 percent of its total waste. The national average is 26 percent. “Given the resources we have, I would pitch our recycling operations against any others in the Big Ten,” Shrestha said. “Students

have been highly sought to advance these initiatives.” As of 2014, UNL City Campus sourced 64 percent of its electrical power from renewable hydroelectric power, Shrestha said. The remaining sources of electrical power come from coal, wind and natural gas. “We’re at a place now where we need these issues to be institutionalized and not just student-led,” Brodersen said. Both Shrestha and Brodersen recognize a lot of work still needs to be done. “We know that the administration understands that sustainability is good practice in the long term,” Shrestha said. “We hope measures like the Chancellor ’s Commission will develop our institutional sustainable goals and the pathways to advance them.” With new groups like the Chancellor ’s Commission on Environmental Sustainability having formed, and with the approval of the Green Fund, Brodersen and others hope to create greater continuity with student efforts and generate more expansive changes to UNL’s infrastructure. “There’s always been pockets of groups working on these issues,” Brodersen said. “It’s never been a top-down directive. But now the goal is to connect all these separate efforts, and make sustainability the norm.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

NIC’s sustainability initiative forward. “We think if we do a good job of education, we may be able to get to 85 percent of our waste going through the organic waste stream,” Duncan said. “Students will be a big part of helping us meet our goals by just simply helping put things in the right receptacles.” There are three types of waste streams at NIC: normal landfill trash, single-string recycling and organic material recycling. The organic material recycling program is in partnership with Prairieland Dairy. Students and staff can recycle things like hand towels from the restrooms, food waste, paper and cardboard. Prairieland Dairy then composts the waste with its dairy

manure. Duncan said he believes NIC’s organic material recycling program can set a good example for the rest of the university. “I know there are efforts to do more robust recycling, and I think down the road, things like student housing and the cafeterias and things might be able to follow suit and do organic recycling as well,” he said. The campus has also set up minimum requirements for energy usage in each of the buildings at NIC in its goal of reaching the silver level of the U.S. Green Building Council’s “LEED Green Building certification,” which helps businesses demonstrate if their building projects are behav-

ing sustainably. To reach the silver level, Duncan said NIC has LED street lights and LED pedestrian lights and plans to enforce daylight harvesting, where the lights will be dimmed if adequate sunlight is coming into the buildings. “As time goes on and we get into the future,” Duncan said, “we hope to kind of be a leader in sustainability and energy conservation, and be a place where people can come and see what we’re doing and then go back to their communities or other places within the city and implement some of the things that we do here.” NEWS@ DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

ENERGY USE: FROM 5 As a broader cultural awareness of sustainability issues spread with the new millennium, UNL mirrored the national trend, harnessing new technology at lower costs in emerging programs and projects. Meanwhile, a broader academic awareness of environmental sustainability began to take shape following the creation of the environmental studies program in 1991. “Mainly, it started through a group of faculty with Arts and Sciences and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources who saw this as an important issue and something necessary for UNL to have,” Gosselin said. “At the time, we were surprised at how quickly it got accepted by the administration.” But it wasn’t until the early 2000s that the program underwent major revisions and expanded its curriculum. Reed Brodersen, chairman of the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska’s Environmental Sustainability Committee, said among Big Ten schools, UNL is unique in that sustainability measures on campus have primarily been student-led. “Five years ago across campus, I don’t think many students were aware of what sustainability as a concept was,” Brodersen said. During the 2000s, as the Environmental Studies program grew to more than 100 students, new groups such as the Environmental Resource Center began to form.

NIC: FROM 5 As NIC grows, so will the CRES plant. The system was built so that the piping, controls and electrical parts are already in place – additional pumps and heat exchange equipment would just have to be added to change with the campus. The $12 million project will save about 20 to 25 percent of energy used in the long run when compared to conventional methods, Zeplin said. “This is just an innovative way to utilize green energy,” Zeplin said. “And that’s really the bottom line. It’s a method to use renewable energy. And that renewable energy comes to us by way of just the heat in the sanitary sewer system.” NIC is also developing an education program to teach students how to properly recycle and push

Nebraska sweeps No. 16 Texas at home MICHAEL DIXON DN

Making routine appearances in the College World Series, the Texas Longhorns aren’t unfamiliar with playing baseball in the state of Nebraska. Leaving winless, however, is something they aren’t accustomed to. Nebraska (21-7, 3-0) stifled Texas (17-11, 5-1) in a three-game sweep of the No. 16 Longhorns at Hawks Field this weekend, holding the University of Texas at Austin to just three runs on 12 hits during the series. “I think that’s an understatement,” Nebraska coach Darin Erstad said when asked if it was the team’s best pitching performance during his fouryear tenure. “Just excellent execution.” It was Nebraska’s first sweep of Texas since 1999 and first win against the Longhorns since 2011 – Nebraska’s final year in the Big 12 Conference. “Beating a team like Texas lets us know where we stand,” senior outfielder Austin Darby said. “You have to be able to beat teams like that to get where we want to go.” While offense did come at a premium, Nebraska exploded for 16 hits in the series finale, while keeping the Longhorns scoreless for 23 of the final 24 innings, including a 15-inning shutout in the second game of the series. After the sweep, Nebraska has now won 14 of its first 15 games at home. Nebraska will close out the season-long 16-game home stand Tuesday night against Creighton University. Game 1: Nebraska 3, Texas 1 Nebraska senior starter Chance Sinclair took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and the Nebraska offense did just enough to earn a series-opening win against Texas Friday night. After his no-hit bid was broken up by Texas’s Zane Gurwitz, Sinclair managed 7.2 innings, giving up a run on two hits. “I had a good three-pitch mix, and I knew it when I was warming up,” Sinclair said. “It was just one of those games.” With Texas’s Ben Johnson representing the tying run, Nebraska junior reliever Colton Howell inherited a 3-1 lead with two outs in the eighth. Howell struck out Johnson on three pitches, getting one of the nation’s top hitters to chase a 94 mph fastball to end the half-inning. Despite giving up a hit in the ninth, senior closer Josh Roeder earned his eighth save of 2015. “They’re such a good fastball-hitting team, and you have to keep them off-balance,” Erstad said. A three-run fifth inning from the Huskers gave Nebraska enough of a cushion to improve to 12-1 at home. Sophomore center fielder Ryan Boldt notched an RBI, and all but one Nebraska starter registered a hit. Texas starter Parker French had his shortest outing of 2015, throwing just 4.1 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits. Game 2: Nebraska 1, Texas 0 (15 innings) Darby’s game-winning single in the 15th inning, aided by an error from the left fielder Johnson, allowed senior catcher Tanner Lubach to

Stout defense, efficient pitching and timely hitting helped the Huskers steal three from Longhorns. The Huskers are now 14-1 at home this season. score Saturday’s only run – the third-longest game in Hawks Field history. “I just tried to get my timing on (that fastball),” Darby said. “I had looked terrible on the first two fastballs, so (the pitcher) was like, ‘OK, I might as well throw him another one here.’ I found the sweet spot.” Senior Kyle Kubat gave up just three hits throughout eight innings, tying a career-high with nine strikeouts. Nebraska pitching faced 31 hitters between the fourth and the 14th inning without giving up a hit and surrendered just four hits across 15 innings. Texas also never had a runner on third base. “To hold that offense to four hits in 15 innings is pretty amazing,” Erstad said. “You never know what the game is going to throw at you, and it’s just a ‘grind it out’ kinda day.” While Texas used six relievers, Nebraska used just three, throwing seven one-hit innings, striking out 10. The Huskers squandered many opportunities throughout extra innings to end the game and left

16 runners on after recording eight hits. “You always feel like (your chances) are dwindling after things like that,” Darby said. “We can’t thank our pitching enough. They were unbelievable.” Despite playing 15 innings, it wasn’t the longest game in Texas-Nebraska history. The teams played a 16-inning marathon in 2005, also at Hawks Field. Game 3: Nebraska 6, Texas 2 The first offensive explosion of the weekend came with a two-run first and a four-run third as the Huskers cruised to a sweep of the 16th-ranked Longhorns. A two-out rally in third broke the game open, and freshman Elijah Dilday knocked his first-career double, driving in a run to extend the Nebraska lead to 3-0. The Huskers then knocked three consecutive run-scoring hits to take a 6-0 lead. “Boy, did our offense ever come out and swing the bats,” Erstad said. “We did a nice job of handling (Texas pitching).” Sophomore starter Derek Burkamper round-

ed out the weekend with his best performance at Nebraska. Burkamper came out with a 6-0 lead in ninth but gave up a double to Johnson and a oneout, two-run homer to Texas’ Collin Shaw. He then gave up a single to Tres Barerra and was removed after a career-high 8.1 innings of work. Roeder came on and induced a double play to end the game. “All-in-all, every single one of my pitches was working,” Burkamper said. “I’m happy about it.” The two-run homer was Texas’s first runs since the eighth inning on Friday – a stretch of 25 scoreless innings, and Nebraska pitching struck out a season-high 33 Longhorns throughout the weekend – the most since striking out 43 in a weekend series against Texas A&M in 2008. Despite the success, Erstad said he knows there’s more work to be done. “It means nothing if we don’t continue to work,” Erstad said. “We didn’t set up our season and do everything for this one weekend.”

Former Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory’s NFL Draft stock is in jeopardy after he failed a league-manadated drug test. Gregory has now failed three tests.

Former Husker fails drug test before NFL Draft STAFF REPORT DN Former Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory was considered one of the top prospects in this year ’s NFL Draft. Now, it’s uncertain when he’ll land after testing positive for marijuana use at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. “I blame myself,” Gregory said to NFL Media. “And I know it sounds cliché, but there’s really no one else I can blame.” Gregory told NFL Media he found out he failed the test about two weeks ago. He said he thought he had received a letter that was

inviting him to the NFL Draft. Instead, it was the news he failed the drug test he took during his time in Indianapolis. During his time at Nebraska, Gregory tested positive for marijuana two times, both in early 2014. He said he’s been smoking for a few years. According to Gregory, drug use was an outlet to cope with anxiety after he failed to qualify academically to the Purdue University. He said he’s going to get past this, and is “in a great spot,” with the NFL Draft coming up on April 30. “I don’t wake up every day saying, I’d really love to go smoke,’” Gregory said. “It’s

not a struggle for me every day (now), it really isn’t. In the past, hell yeah, it’s been a struggle. It really has been. Now, I’m focused on my dream.” Gregory said he hasn’t smoked since December. But the drug was still in his system when he went to the NFL Scouting Combine. “I was worse at Nebraska than I’ve ever been at any other time of my life,” Gregory said. “But I know how I am now. I think if teams really look at how I am now more so than the past, they’ll see I’m making strides to get better, as a person and as a player.” The 6-foot-5, 243-pound lineman said he doesn’t want this incident to define who he

is. He had 17.5 sacks in two seasons at Nebraska, which put him in a good position for the NFL Draft. He said he realizes marijuana can ruin a career and that needs to change. “I don’t want my career to be defined by the fact that I had failed a drug test or anything of that sort,” Gregory said. “I want people to remember me as that top-10, top-five (draft pick) that had a 10-year career, a number of championships. I want to be known as that guy. I don’t want to be known as a bust or that guy who came in (to the league) with a drug habit.”

NU broomball club takes 2nd at national championship SETH OLSON DN The Nebraska club broomball team capped off a phenomenal season two weekends ago when it placed second at the 2015 USA Broomball National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota. The Huskers played five games in the national tournament in Fargo, reaching the championship game where they lost the final to Indianapolis 3-1. Sophomore Kayla Baker said the secondplace finish on the biggest stage in collegiate broomball was a result of the dedication the team has shown all season long. “We worked hard all season, so to be able to succeed at the national tournament was important to all of us,” Baker said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be a part of.” Like hockey, broomball is a popular sport in the northern tier of the United States, along with Canada. But the popularity of the sport has been picked up by this group of Nebraska students, who have now expressed their talents on the rink on the national stage. “Since broomball is more prominent in the north, it was fulfilling to be on a team from

Nebraska that could compete,” Baker said. The Huskers have shown dedication since September with practices every Thursday for two hours at the Ice Box, along with games in an Omaha-based league on Sunday afternoons. “The league is a bit more recreational in nature and has fall and spring sessions, and we held the No. 1 spot during each session,” senior Kaleb Anderson said. “We also participated in the annual Fargo tournament, which for some of our team members was their first glimpse at competitive play.” The team’s experience in league play and other tournaments throughout the long season no doubt helped the Huskers claim second place, which is the best finish the club has ever had at the national tournament. Anderson, who is also vice president of the broomball team, said he was impressed with the team’s efforts to get to this point. “I think it’s really a testament to the improvements our players have made over the last few years,” Anderson said. “Broomball is a fairly niche sport, so when players cycle-off the team after graduation, we can really take a big hit when we lose our more experienced players.” Nebraska’s 3-1 loss to the Indianapolis

Invaders was an intense game, Anderson said, with penalties really hurting them in that match. Still, Nebraska beat Indianapolis in the tournament in overtime during group play. “Our game with them in group play was an extremely fun game,” Anderson said. “It was awesome to come out of overtime with the win. They were the team that eventually won our division of the tournament, which made our defeat in the championship a bit harder to swallow.” Even though the Huskers didn’t come away with a championship, Anderson said the team is very excited to come away with a runner-up finish on such a big stage. “We wanted to win, of course, but we were able to compete well,” Anderson said. “I’m proud to represent the school and our state as the only team from Nebraska that competed at the tournament.” Anderson, Baker and their teammates couldn’t complain about the results at the national tournament either. After playing five games, the team was happy to come away with second place. To knock off other talented teams around the nation, the Huskers had to make the most of their opportunities. “The teams we played were very com-

petitive,” Baker said. “As a team, we knew we needed to capitalize on every chance we got in order to move on. We were able to advance by winning both times when two of our games went to overtime.” Anderson and the team most enjoyed their biggest challenge, which came during group play when they played the DC Legislators, who won the championship in their division. “The Legislators were by far the best team we had played all season,” Anderson said. “Our goal going into the game was to remain competitive. I think it gave everyone a chance to test their skills against players with far more experience, and it stretched us as a group.” At the end of the day, it came down to the Huskers being a close-knit group of players more than anything. For the players, that was an even bigger highlight than the second-place finish for the Nebraska broomball players. “Being at nationals and coming together as a team in that moment was by far my favorite part of this experience,” Baker said.

Despite the Huskers’ struggles with offensive production, sophomore infielder MJ Knighten played superb defense over the weekend. Nebraska lost two of three games to Minnesota.

Nebraska loses home series to Minnesota BRETT NIERENGARTEN DN The Husker softball team welcomed Minnesota to Lincoln this weekend for a series that featured two of the hottest teams in the Big Ten Conference. The No. 12 Gophers entered the series with a 27-4 record and improved to 29-5, after taking 2 of 3 from the Huskers, who had previously won 8 of 9. Minnesota jumped on Nebraska early, scoring the game’s first five runs in its first three times at the plate.

Nebraska answered by scoring the next four runs, making it 5-4 after five innings. The two teams matched each other in the final two frames after both scoring two in the sixth and one in the seventh, giving Minnesota an 8-7 win. Sophomore Gopher pitcher Sara Groenewegen improved to 18-2 in the circle, and Husker junior Emily Lockman fell to 9-8. The loss snapped the Huskers 14-game home winning streak and extended Minnesota’s 13-game road winning streak. In Game 2 of the series on Saturday, Minne-

sota once again scored eight runs but Nebraska couldn’t keep up, only mustering up three runs. The Gophers scored five runs in the last three innings, including a back breaking twoout, two-run double by senior Tyler Walker to make it 6-3 in the sixth. The explosive trio of juniors Kiki Stokes and Alicia Armstrong and sophomore MJ Knighten struggled for the Huskers going 2-for-8 combined. All three of them are hitting better than .370 on the season. Nebraska was only outhit 18-17 combined in the two games despite being outscored 16-10.

In Game 3, the Huskers were wearing pink jerseys that read “Fight like a Husker” to support breast cancer and fought to a 5-3 win to avoid a sweep. “For us in the big picture of conference standing, it’s huge,” Nebraska coach Rhonda Revelle said. The game was a pitching rematch between Groenewegen and Lockman. And this time it was the Huskers who got on the board first, manufacturing two runs in the first inning on an Armstrong squeeze and a fielder’s choice by Cassie McClure by Knighten.

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2015 | 15

DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM Lockman faced the minimum in the first two innings thanks to a 4-6-3 double play. Minnesota notched its first run on a Tyler Walker single to make it 2-1 in the third. Nebraska answered back. The first three batters of the third inning singled, and the Huskers notched a run of their own in the bottom half. Nebraska didn’t take its foot off the gas in the fourth, with two outs Knighten hit an opposite field homerun to extend Nebraska’s lead to three and her hit streak to 13.

The third basemen, Knighten, flashed the leather in the next half-inning. After a leadoff single freshman Gopher second baseman, Danielle Parlich hit a liner right at her. She reached down to pick it for one out and threw behind the runner at first for a double play. Parlich was the same player who hit into the twin-killing in the second. “Pitching and defense work hand in hand,” Revelle said. “If the pitchers are hitting their spots, the defense usually plays better for them.”

Lockman struck out the next batter, senior Erica Meyer looking to throw another zero on the board for Nebraska in the fifth. She did the same in the sixth and retired the first two batters of the seventh before five straight runners reached and two runs scored. The California native pitched out of a basesloaded jam to get the final out of the game, striking out sophomore Sam Macken. “She was really gritty today,” Revelle said of her starter. “That’s the Emily Lockman that has pitched championship softball at Nebraska.”

Lockman pitched a complete game, allowing three runs and eight hits and earning her 10th win of the season. “I told the team, ‘maybe that game was our caterpillar becoming the butterfly,’” Revelle said. “You gotta struggle to get through and break out and become the butterfly.” Nebraska is now 18-14 and 6-2 in Big Ten play.
