Kansas closed the book on its season with a 3-0 (30-28, 30-21, 30-23) sweep of Texas Tech on Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas.
The Jayhawks finished 2007 with a record of 13-17 and 6-14 in Big 12 Conference play.
With its Big 12 mark, Kansas finished in a tie with Baylor for eighth in the conference, and doubled its
three Big 12 victories in 2006.
Senior setter/right side Emily Brown led the Jayhawks' offensively with her ninth triple-double of the season. The Baldwin City native had 10 kills, 26 assists and 13 dings in her last match as a Jayhawk.
Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser finished with a team-high 13 kills and senior middle blocker Caitlin Mahoney added 11 kills and a team-high 625 hitting percentage
ting percentage, well above its season-average. 184 hitting percentage.
fresnman libero Melissa Manda had 11 digs against Texas Tech and finished the season eighth in the Big 12 with 3.97 digs per game.
After finishing 7-3 in its non-conference schedule, Kansas struggled against most Big 12 teams. Kansas defeated both Texas Tech and Colorado twice and picked up victories against Oklahoma and Missouri.
Kansas finished with a .333 hit.
Kansas will lose Brown and Mahoney to graduation, but the team will return 14 players next season. Those returning include Kansas' kills leader, Kaiser, its digs leader, Manda, and its blocks-pergame leader, junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart. Kansas also returns sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams, who suffered a season-end knee injury in September.

Raiders end 17-game losing streak
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Justin Fargas and LaMont Jordan each rushed for a touchdown and the defense came up with a big stop on fourth down, lifting the Raiders to a 20-17 victory over Kansas City on Sunday and snapping a 17-game losing streak in the division.
Oakland hadn't beaten anybody in their division since a 25-24 squeaker over Denver on Nov. 28, 2004, the longest ongoing streak of divisional futility in the NFL.
Fargas had 139 vards on 22 carries for the Raiders (3-8), who also snapped a six-game skid overall and a nine-game losing streak to
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Wake the town and tell the people. The Oakland Raiders have won an AFC West game.
the Chiefs.
Kansas City (4-7) got a huge day from rookie Kolby Smith, who rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns after languishing on the third team behind Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes all season. But Smith failed on fourth-and-1 from the Raiders 23 when he slammed over left guard and lost a vard.
Culpepper finished 15-of-22 for 170 yards. Brodie Croyle, making his first start at home since being named the Chiefs' starting quarterback, was 12-of-23 for 145 yards.
The Raiders squandered a great opportunity to grab a 7-0 lead when Michael Huff intercepted his first pass and the Raiders took over on the KC 26. Five plays later, they had to settle for Sebastian Janikowski's 25-yard field goal.
