'Huskers trounce 'Hawks

The Kansas softball team saw nothing but Cornhusker red last Friday in Lincoln, Neb.
The Conrnhuskers swept the doubleheader, beating the Jayhawks 10-0 in the first game and 4-1 in the second.
It took Nebraska, 44-18 overall and 14-2 in the Big 12 Conference, only four innings to put away the Jayhawks, 30-31 overall and 5-13 in the Big 12, in the first game. The 10-run rule, when a team automatically wins if it leads by 10 after the fifth inning, was employed.
Kansas pitcher Melanie
Dewinter took the loss for Kansas,
giving up six runs and six hits in
two innings. Kelly Campbell
pitched the final two innings,
allowing four runs on four hits.
"We just didn't play well," DeWinter said. "We didn't score, and we weren't aggressive."
Heather Sims singled and then advanced to second base on a single by centerfielder Shelly Musser. Sims then took third on a passed ball and scored on a wild pitch.
Pitcher Sarah Clopton held the 'Husker scoreless until the sixth inning when Jamie Fuente hit a solo home run. Nebraska took the lead two outs later when shortstop Amanda Buchholz belted a three-run home run. Kansas was unable to answer in the seventh.
Kansas will face No. 8 seed Missouri, 31-25 overall and 6-12 in the Big 12, at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Oklahoma City, Okla. The winner will play top-seeded Oklahoma Thursday.
The Jayhawks bounced back in the second game, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Catcher
Clopton pitched all six innings, giving up eight hits and striking out five.
Next up for the 'Hawks is the Big 12 tournament where they are seeded ninth out of 10 teams.
"We had so many expectations of this team leading up to this year, now we just have to forget all of that and put everything we have into the tournament," DeWinter said.
Rowers fight to earn championship ranks

The Kansas rowing team is racing in arguably its most important event in the program's short varsity history.
After Saturday, a selection committee picks 15 teams to advance to the NCAA Championships May 28 through 31 in Camden, N.J.
The No. 22 Jayhawks, in their fifth year in varsity competition, will compete in the Central Regionals near Oak Ridge, Tenn., Saturday. Some of the teams the Jayhawks will race include No. 8 Michigan, No. 9 Michigan State, No. 13 Ohio State and No. 17 Iowa.
The Jayhawks have a 14-3 record this year, including a win in the Knecht Cup against then-ranked Massachusetts. Their only losses have been to No. 12 USC, No. 16 Washington State and No. 17 Iowa.
Despite close losses to USC and Washington State, the Javahwks
haven't gotten many accolades in the polls, which irritates the Kansas rowers.
Still, the Jayhawks haven't defeated three teams hovering at that 15th and final NCAA spot.
Senior coxswain Nikia Rosenberger said the losses were rough, but the team's outlook was positive.
"We're frustrated we haven't beat them." Rosenberger said. "But we're not down by it because the things that hurt us in races, we know we can fix."
So do all of these factors signal the biggest race in the program's history? Yes, if one asks Rosenberger.
“It’s the most important for us,” Rosenberger said about her and her fellow seniors’ last race. “It’s now or never in Tennessee. There’s no next year to see if we can come back and do it next year. There are no re-rows.”
The Jayhawks hope to contend this weekend, but Rosenberger said the rest of the country's perception of her team depended on Kansas' performance at Centrals.
