Section B · Page 4 The University Daily Kansan Monday, April 8, 2000 Soccer team goes on rampage 'Hawks slaughter Illinois opponents in tournament By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansas sportswriter Beatings this severe could get someone arrested, but instead the Kansas soccer team got two wins and a tie. The Jayhawks shutout Northern Illinois 7-0 and DePaul 6-0 on Saturday at the Illinois Tournament in Champaign, III., and tied Illinois 2-2 yesterday. The games improved Kansas' spring record to 3-0-3. Coach Mark Francis attributed the offensive barrage to a new formation. we've played with a different formation that we've been working on with three up front, three in the middle and four in the back," Francis said. "Doing this 4-3-3 worked much better. We were able to put people under a lot more pressure up on their end of the field and consequently, we scored Kansas found offensive help from an assortment of freshmen. Brien Valento scored a goal and Melanie Schroeder scored twice. Natalie Hoogveld had one goal and three assists. Mervi Kuittinen dished two assists. While the underclassmen set the tone, the juniors packed the strongest punch. Hilla Rantala pounded out five goals and tallied five assists during the weekend, while Meghann Haven buried four goals — three against Northern Illinois — and two assists. In addition, Kylie Watts and captain Emma DiCesare each scored, while Colleen Colvin had an assist. The power of the offense was matched by a staunch defensive effort from the Jayhawks. Elizabeth Hanby earned two shutouts for the Jayhawks, and the team allowed only two goals all weekend. Both came against Illinois, a team who returns 10 starters from last year's team, which was ranked as high as No. 15 in the country in the Soccer America poll. Francis praised his team's defensive effort. "Defensively, we worked extremely hard to defend in numbers," Francis said. "They did really, really well." The Jayhawks return to action at 11 a.m. Saturday against Central Missouri State at SuperTarget Field. OVERLAND PARK — Gene Elstun, a teammate of Wilt Chamberlain on the Kansas basketball team that lost in triple overtime to North Carolina in the 1957 NCAA championship game, is dead at the age of 64. Elstun died Thursday of pancreatic cancer. His funeral will be at 10 a.m. today at the Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village. The Associated Press Co-captain of 1957 basketball team dies He was born in Kansas City, Mo., and starred in basketball at what was then Shawnee Mission Rural High School, now Shawnee Mission North, and he was captain of the team that won the 1953 Kansas state championship. Elstun, also an accomplished golfer, was a manufacturer's representative in the golf equipment industry. As a sophomore at Kansas, playing under Phog Allen, the 6-foot-3 Elstun ranked second in scoring with a 14.2 average. He averaged 12. 8 points the following season, which was Allen's last year of a long tenure at Kansas. As a senior in the 1956-57 season under new head coach Dick Harp, and with Chamberlain playing for the Jayhawks for the first time, Elstun was co-captain of a team that went 24-3 and made the NCAA Final Four in Kansas City. The Jayhawks, champions of what was then the Big Seven Conference, breezed by SMU and Oklahoma City in the regionals and easily beat San Francisco 80-56 in the championship semifinal. That set up the thrilling triple-overtime championship game that North Carolina won 54-53. After the Tar Heels took the lead on a pair of free throws with six seconds left in the third overtime, a pass to Chamberlain near the basket was deflected at the buzzer. Chamberlain, who died last October, was the Jayhawks' leading scorer that season with a 29.6 average, and Elstun was second at 11. 3. "Even though he was only 6-foot 3, he played forward," recalled Jerry Waugh, who was an assistant coach at the time. "That was very unusual, because we had other people who were bigger and betterumpers." After graduation, Elstun served in the Army with the tank corps, also playing basketball and making the all-Army team in 1959. Both of his sons, high-scoring stars at Shawnee Mission West, followed Elstun into college basketball. The eldest, Doug, started out at North Carolina, later transferring to Kansas where he was a member of the 27-8 team that made the 1991 Final Four, losing to Duke in the championship. The other son, Chad, played at Wichita State before transferring to North Texas. In addition to his sons, Elstun is survived by his wife, Nancy; a daughter, Pam; his mother, Frances; a brother, Bill; and two grandchildren. Golfers will swing into play, despite key player injuries By Michael Terry sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter When the Kansas men's golf team tees off today at the 54th Annual Western Intercollegiate in Pasatiempo, Calif., it will be without the services of senior Brad Davis. Last May, Davis suffered a serious back and heel injury after a second-floor balcony railing he was leaning on collapsed. As a result of those injuries, he can no longer play without using a golf cart. For Davis, this marks the end of successful golfing career at Kansas during which he's earned many accolades, including helping lead the Jayhawks to their first Big 12 Championship in 49 years, a first-team Academic All- Coach Ross Randall said he felt bad for Davis and was disappointed his career to end this way. American selection, an Academic All-Big 12 selection, two-time selection to the Big 12 All-tournament team and 1999 Big 12 student-athlete of the year honors. "He's been one of our steadiest players over the years," Randall said. "He's played really well for us, and improved as a player, but now we've got to move forward." The next step for the 'Hawks comes at a tournament with which Randall is familiar. Randall won the Western Intercollegiate as a golfer at San Jose State, and he's looking forward to seeing his Kansas team do the same. "This is going to be one of the toughest fields we will face all "He's been one of our steadiest players over the years. He's played really well for us, and improved as a player; but now we've got to move forward.." Ross Randall men's golf coach year," Randall said. "As a team, I think we're a lot farther ahead of where we were last year at this time. We just need to have a entire team effort, and hopefully we can win it." Women's Golf The men are not only ones batting through injuries today. Spring break at Myrtle Beach, S.C., nearly turned into a disaster. The day the team arrived, senior Sue Tessary had to be carted off the golf course and taken to a hospital after severely spraining her ankle. "At the time we didn't know what she had done to her leg," coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "We didn't know if she had blown out her knee or broken her foot. Luckily, she just sprained it, and she's been working hard to get it back into playing shape." If the 'Hawks plan to do well today at the Utah-Dixie Classic in St. George, Utah — where six teams in the top 50 will be competing — they will need the services of Tessary. "I sprained it pretty bad, but it's starting to feel better," Tessary said. "Hopefully I haven't overworked it during practice, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
