Lincoln ? Head Coach Dan Kendig announced the Nebraska women’s gymnastics team’s complete schedule for the upcoming 2007 season on Wednesday. The docket includes meets with six of last year’s top 10 nationally-ranked teams, as well as 12 opponents from the national top 25 list. In five home competitions at the BobDevaneySportsCenter, the Huskers will feature two Friday-night competitions on their slate and join the Nebraska men's gymnastics for double duals on Feb. 2, March 4 and March 11.

 

Nebraska opens the year at the Super Six Challenge on Jan. 5 in Fayetteville, Ark., taking on Florida, Arkansas, LSU, PennState and Denver. The team will then travel to two conference away meets in January, heading to IowaState on Jan. 19 and Missouri on Jan. 26.
