The Huskers are 3-0 in the Devaney Center in 2013, averaging a team score of 196.541 in their home meets. NU earned a 195.625-195.400 win over No. 14 Arizona last weekend in Tucson, Ariz.

MASTER’S CLASSIC DOUBLES AS “POWER OF PINK” MEET The Huskers will host their “Power of Pink” night on Friday to spread support for breast cancer awareness. Pink-themed prizes will be distributed throughout the evening while supplies last. Fans are encouraged to wear pink alongside the Huskers for this meet.

SCOUTING THE NO. 16 BOISE STATE BRONCOS The Boise State Broncos are ranked 16th nationally this week after earning a second-place finish at the Perfect

10 Challenge in Oklahoma City, Okla., last weekend. BSU posted a 195.575 to earn the runner-up title behind No. 2 Oklahoma and ahead of BYU and Texas Women’s University. The Broncos are 6-1 this season, with wins over BYU, Utah State and Southeast Missouri on their résumé. Boise State is led by Co-Head Coaches Tina Bird and Neil Resnick; it is the duo’s sixth season at the helm of the Bronco program. They are joined in the gym by assistant coach Patty

Resnick. The Huskers boast a 7-0 all-time regular-season series lead over BSU, with the last meeting between the two teams coming in 2003.

SCOUTING THE IOWA STATE CYCLONES The Iowa State Cyclones will arrive in Nebraska this weekend following a season-high effort of 195.175 in a

win over Northern Illinois last weekend. The victory snapped a five-meet losing skid and marked the Cyclones’ first win since season-opening victories against Wisconsin-La Crosse and Kent State. Despite those five losses, ISU has increased its season-high score in each of its eight meets this season. Four of Iowa State’s five losses have also come to teams ranked in the nation’s top 20.

Head Coach Jay Ronayne is in his seventh year at the head of the Cyclone program. His coaching staff is rounded out by Assistant Coaches Kristen Maloney and Katie Minasola. Nebraska holds a 93-14-1 all-time regular-season series lead over Iowa State.

start, will honor seniors Janelle Giblin, Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner as they compete in their final competition at home for Nebraska. The evening will also be Student Appreciation Night, with the first 100 students receiving a free slice of Valentino’s pizza. The Iowa Hawkeyes hold a 5-4 ranking in 2013, including a 1-4 mark in Big Ten action. UI boasts wins over Ball State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Michigan State and Illinois-Chicago. The Hawkeyes are led by Head Coach Larissa Libby, who is in her ninth year at the helm of the Iowa program. She is joined by assistants Jacob Lee and Caleb Phillips.

NOTING THE MASTERS CLASSIC The Huskers will host the 23rd annual Masters Classic this weekend in Lincoln, dating back to the inaugural meet in 1989. NU has captured 19 Masters Classic team titles in that time period and holds all of the top five team scores recorded at the competition. Nebraska earned the 2012 Masters Classic title with a team score of 196.55, defeating No. 20 Washington, No. 22 Michigan and Southern Utah at the Devaney Center.

SKINNER SOARS ON VAULT After being sidelined for Nebraska’s first two meets, senior Brittany Skinner has made her presence known in Nebraska’s vault lineup. A native of Los Altos, Calif., Skinner has scored no lower than a 9.875 on the event in her last four meets, including career-best scores of 9.925 against Ohio State (1/25) and Penn State (2/10). She has earned three vault titles in that time and is also ranked No. 8 nationally on the event. A 2010 first-team All-American on vault, Skinner is expected to continue making an impact on the Husker lineup throughout the season.

STEADY NATHE EARNS BEAM TITLE Senior Kassandra Nathe has been a reliable component of NU’s beam lineup this season, consistently delivering solid scores to aid the Huskers. Her efforts paid off last Saturday against Arizona, when the Sartell, Minn., native hit a 9.85 to capture the beam title on the day. The award marked Nathe’s third career event title, her second on beam and her first this season.

BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS TO AIR LIVE ON BTN The Big Ten Network (BTN) has announced that it will televise both session of the Big Ten Women’s Gymnastics Championships live on March 23. The first session of the event will air at 12 noon CST, while the second session is set for a 5 p.m. CST start. Michigan State will host the event in East Lansing, Mich., at the Breslin Center.

DEFENDING BIG TEN CHAMPIONS LOOK FOR CONTINUED SUCCESS After winning its second consecutive conference title and its first in the Big Ten, Nebraska returns to the gym with even higher expectations for 2013. NU welcomes back seven total letterwinners from last season, including six All-Americans, while adding four newcomers to the roster. With a solid core of veterans and a stockpile of talent and depth, Head Coach Dan Kendig believes his 20th season with the Huskers has the makings of a top team on the national scene. “We’ve come a long way since the beginning of the year and put in a lot of work in the gym, the community and the classroom,” Kendig said. “Top to bottom, this season can be better than last season. If we keep working hard each day and getting better, I see good things on the horizon for this year.”

SIX ALL-AMERICANS POISED TO LEAD HUSKERS IN 2013 NU’s efforts this season will be anchored by its six returning All-Americans, including three honorees that captured eight awards last season. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong headline a group that has won 16 awards since 2010 and also includes seniors Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner and junior Jamie Schleppenbach.

Senior Brittany Skinner earned her third vault title of the season last weekend at Arizona.

Kassandra Nathe captured her first event title of the season last weekend, posting a 9.85 on beam against Arizona.

Nebraska will look for sustained success from its vaulting corps as it fields four previous All-Americans. The group is led by 2012 first-team All-American Giblin and second-team honoree DeZiel alongside previous first-teamers Schleppenbach and Skinner. The Huskers will also welcome back three previous All-Americans in both all-around competition and on uneven bars. Notably returning to the competition floor on bars this season is 2010 second-team All-American Nathe, who has missed the past two seasons due to injury. Nathe is expected to provide a spark as well as depth to NU’s bar lineup in 2013. Nebraska returns two All-Americans on floor and beam as well.

KENDIG ARCHITECT OF ONE OF NATION’S TOP PROGRAMS Now in his 20th year at the helm of the Nebraska gymnastics program, Head Coach Dan Kendig is the all-time winningest coach in Nebraska history. Kendig holds a 445-171-4 record overall and a 296-69-2 regular-season mark. An eight-time conference coach of the year selection, Kendig most recently earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors last season after guiding the 2012 Huskers to the program’s 22nd conference title. Kendig has also led the Huskers to 15 NCAA Championship appearances in the past 18 season, including NCAA Super Six Finals appearances in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. Kendig was honored as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003, a year in which the Huskers finished fourth nationally. He guided the 2012 Huskers to a 24-7 record overall, including an eighth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga. The performance marked Nebraska’s 28th consecutive NCAA post season appearance, while three of Kendig’s gymnasts--Jessie DeZiel (FX, AA, V), Janelle Giblin (V, UB) and Emily Wong (BB, FX, AA)--earned All-America honors.

NU ASSISTANTS SET TO LEAD HUSKERS IN 2013 Joining Kendig in his leadership of the Huskers this season are second-year assistant coaches Heather Brink and Dan Miller. Brink continues her role in the gym as the team’s beam coach while assisting with floor choreography. In her first season as an assistant with the Huskers, Brink helped coach Emily Wong to first-team All-America honors on beam. Brink’s assistance with NU’s floor routines also guided Jessie DeZiel to first-team All-America honors and Wong to second-team honors on the event. Miller continues to lead NU’s efforts on vault and floor in 2013. During his first season at Nebraska in 2012, Miller guided DeZiel to first-team All-America honors on floor and second-team honors on vault. He also assisted in the development of Janelle Giblin, who earned first-team honors on vault, and Wong, who picked up second-team honors on floor. The gymnasts under Miller’s tutelage in 2012 garnered a total of 15 floor titles and 14 vault titles throughout the season. Volunteer assistanch coach Owen Field, now in his third season in that position, aids NU’s full-time staff in 2013. Field will assist head coach Dan Kendig on the uneven bars while also working with the Huskers’ strength and conditioning program.
