10A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 3, 1996 Nebraska, Kansas State to battle in Manhattan Women's swimmers to battle each other LINCOLN, Neb: (AP)- If undefeat- ed Kansas State has a weakness, Tom Osborne can't see it. "We've got to do everything well to beat them," he said. On Saturday, No. 6 Nebraska plays the No. 16 Wildcats in Manhattan, Kansas. It will be the Cornhuskers' first real test since a 19-0 defeat to Arizona State on Sept. 21 that ended the Cornhuskers' 26-game winning streak. Nebraska responded with a 65-9 beat- ing of Colorado State last week. . Kansas State (4-0) senses the Cornhuskers may be vulnerable. And that gives defensive tackle Jason Peter some incentive. Commented Peter: "We have to let people know we haven't fallen off the face of the planet even though we had that loss." The Cornhuskers may be confident, but they face Kansas State quarterback Brian Kavanagh who tied a school record with four touchdown passes in a 34-7 win over Rice on Sept. 21. The Wildcats' are looking for their first win over Nebraska since 1968. Kansas State was 5-0 in 1993, then lost to Nebraska. The Huskers ended a 4- 0 Wildcat streak in 1994. Last year Kansas State was 6-0 until losing 49-25 in Lincoln. The Wildcats come into this game with a strong defense led by defensive back Chris Canty. The unit led the nation last year in total defense, allowing 250.8 yards a game. Nebraska quarterback Scott Frost has not overwhelmed opponents in his first three starts, and he is not underestimat- ing Kansas State. "They're awfully good," he said. "I wouldn't want to compare them with anyone else." Osborne said much depends on a Nebraska offensive line that has not been inspired this season, and the health of an injured secondary. "I think we will play well at Kansas State, Osborne said. "I don't see any reason why we won't." By Nancy Berger Daily Sports \ritcr The 1996-97 Michigan women's swimming and diving season doesn't officially start for another two weeks, but coach Jim Richardson's swimmers will take their marks on the starting blocks this weekend at Canham Natatorium. Saturday at 9:30 a.m., the Wolverines will hear the starting gun for the first time this year. The intrasquad meet will help Michigan prepare for a season that spans six months, starlina with Michigan State and includian - our trips to California. For the de'ending Big Ten champions, the meet should help the Wolverines ease into a long and grueling season as they begin their quest for their Ii1th consecu- tive conference title. "This (meet) will familiarize them with the collegiate dual meet format," Richardson said. "They won't go into the first meet cold. It is somewhat like a foot- ball scrimmage." Even though this will be the first time this season that Michigan will have a chance to swim in a competitive atmos- phere, the Wolverines have already been splashing around in the pool for a while. Michigan has been warmingup for the meet since the Wolverines first started FILE PHOTO/DaIly The Michigan women's swimming team won't have to look hard for its first oppo- nent of the season. The Wolverines will hit the pool Saturday to face each other in an intrasquad meet. ! rig n.r .r ...n rw .r. .n rr w I,..IJ s O w B I FACEOFF IS COMING! OcT. 14 IR Looking for a JOB?

Richardson said. While the intrasquad meet will be a sort of mini pep rally. it will also give the coaches a chance to become better acquainted with their team this year.

Michigan put pressure on the Spartans from the onset. In the game's finest offensive sequence, Michigan's Bree Derr sent a ball across the field to an open Lindsay Babbitt for a picture-perfect goal, tying the game at two. The goal was the second in two games for Babbitt, who got to start fol- lowing her solid play off the bench against Penn State. The Wolverines kept up the pressure on the Spartans, as senior Meredith Franden sent a shot to the back of the net, through a serum of players. Franden gave Michigan its first lead in more than a week, 3-2. Michigan State wasn't done yet, as Jill Luscher tied the game yet again. But just as she did against Ball State, Michigan's Flachs stepped up and scored the game-winning goal, this tin with just 3:24 left in the contest. Regardless, Flachs refuses to take all the credit. "It's the team that is playing well she said *'Once we get that team cama- raderie we (play) great. Today was a team effort, and look what happened." $ 50 Bottles Case Study Interviewing Sponsored with Boston Consulting Group Job Searching on the Internet The Job Search: Perspectives for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Students Sponsored with LGBPO Interview Clinic: Developing Effective Techniques.
