to defend the tournament title
they won last season, Coach
Wayne Schutte attributed his
charges' problems to "possibly
wanting the title too badly".
"We got a little too over-
agressive in the early matches
and then became sloppy," he
explained. "After we got
behind, the kids seemed to get
team "setback" of any kind ira frustrated then were really in
almost two years as they won trouble. It was more of a
the six-team takedown event, mental thing, and later on the

able to get better balance in
the scoring department.
Big Roger Nield, who is
averaging at a 23.6 per game
clip for the Huskies, had to
take charge to pull out the
victory against the pesky
Knights.
The Huskies depended al-
most entirely on Nield's
scoring punch in the second
• half as he connected on eight
~field goals and finished the
game with 26 points.
More Balance Sought
"We want to get more
balance in our scoring, but
knew we needed the points
and went to Nield in the
clutch," Preuninger reported.
"We kept our poise through
the game despite some de-
fensive mistakes."
Guard Paul Stephens had
another strong night for the
Huskies as he had 10 assists
and only three turnovers, and
sophomore Jurgen Webb
drew praise from Preuninger
for filling in well when Todd
Burton got in foul trouble
early in the game.
Nield had 15 rebounds in the
game with Capps getting nine.
Preuninger also noted that
the Huskie shooting was off
a bit in the game as the team
dipped below 40 per cent for
the first time this season with
23 for 59 from the floor for 39
per cent.
