SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 199? LINCOLN JOURNAL-STAB COLLEGE FOOTBALLCOLLEGE BASKETBALL I 3Ei From page 1E I fifis- Hoop Jennings lifts Huskers I I A .4 I I to tournament crown 1 I EVANSTON, IlL Senior Karen Jennings scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Nebraska women's basketball team past Northwestern 83-71 Saturday in the championship game of the Roger L. White 1 J- with a 22-7 run for a 56-41 advantage Northwestern could get no closer than 12 points the rest of the way. NU guard Meggan Yedsena had 10 of her IS points in the second half, including three three-point shots. "I am very happy," NU Coach' Angela Beck said. This was a great, team win, and we beat an outstanding team.

Northwestern had won this, tournament the last three Nebraska's Rissa Taylor, joined Jennings on the all-tournament team, contributed 16 points. Jennings' 20 points gave her for her career, just 26 behind Powell (1981-85), who is third on NU's all-time scoring chart with 1,843. Jennings, with 783 career rebounds," moved into third on the all-time list Nebraska returns to the Devahey Sports Center for a 7 p.m. game Wednesday against Illinois. Karen Jennings 1 guard Jaron Boone, who had a game-high three steals.

"Coach told us at halftime that's the best defense played in the last couple years. That's a great compliment to us and we're going to push for everything we can dO." Had the Comhuskers not pushed harder on Saturday, things might have gotten a little more interesting. They were right there with us and were playing good, but I think as the game went on we just wore them down," Piatkowski said. "They started making the mistakes that we wanted them to make and that's when we made the big run." That known, the Comhuskers probably wont air many complaints the next time Nee runs them through a practice that focuses on defense. As forward Tom Best noted: "You see that it pays off.

The second half we were rotating so many guys. We were all fresh, and I think that had a lot to do with it. It's fun to play that way." Notes Tucker Neale scored 24 points, and Darren Brown added 23 and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Colgate past Idaho State 76-68 for third place in the Ameritas Classic. The Red Raiders led 34-31 at intermission and never trailed in the second half. The all-tournament team: Piatkowski, Nebraska (MVP); Derrick Chandler, Nebraska; Rod Koch, Kent; Greg Holman, Kent; Brown, Colgate, Jim Potter, Idaho State.

Jennings, voted the tournament's most valuable player, scored eight points as Nebraska jumped to a 10-2 lead in the game's first four minutes. However, the Wildcats battled back to take a 22-21 lead with 6:20 left in the first half. The two teams were tied 34-34 at halftime.

Jones, the favorite of the crowd which included some 500 Nebraska fans and 100 Kansas State fans as well as thousands of natives waving purple and red showed power and durability that he hasnt had to show before. Derek Brown, his "we" back partner who joined Jones in becoming the first pair of NU backs to reach the rushing barrier in the same season, didn't make the trip to Tokyo because of a separated shoulder suffered in the win at Oklahoma. But Jones held up for 186 yards on 30 carries the most carries by an NU back since Brown during NU's tie with Colorado in 1991. Husker running backs coach Frank Solich said he was pleased with the performance of Jones.

"He ran very well and had some great blocks, but 1 was very impressed with his pass catching as well," Solich said. "He did tell me he was tired, though, having not carried that much in a long time." Nebraska seemed to control the game with three straight touchdowns to open it Kansas State, which finished 5-6 overall and 2-5 in the Big Eight, rallied for 10 points in the second quarter to cut the lead to 21-10 with 2:27 left in the first half. But the Comhuskers opened the second half with a 10-play scoring drive that Byron Bennett ended with a 42-yard field goal. Then, the NU defense which held K-State to 20 yards rushing in the second half stopped the Wildcats for the second time in a row.

The Wildcats answered with an 8-yard touchdown run by Matt Garb-er, but Frazier was equal to the task by capping a 10-play drive all run- ning with a 1-yard sneak. The Wildcats managed one final score a 21-yard pass from Garber toBradSelb. In the first quarter, Nebraska counted on Frazier's wizardry with a fake handoff to Lance Lewis and a roll-out pass to wingback Corey Dixon deep in the end zone to cap the first scoring drive with 6:35 left in the period, Frazier then wound up for a similar pass when the Comhuskers drove to the K-State 19.
