By Brad Hallier Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's golf team finished in 18th place this past weekend at the Sun Trust Lady Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.
The third round of the tournament was canceled. The Jayhawks shot a two-round score of 669, 69 strokes behind team-champion Georgia.
Furman's Lindsay
Smith was the individual champion, shooting a 70 in the first round, and finishing with a total score of 144.
Senior Mandy Munsch had the total low score for Kansas, finishing in a tie for 54th place with a two-round total of 163.
Sophomore Ashley Bishop had the lowest one-round score for the Jayhawks. She shot a 79 during the second round, improving her first-round total by 15 strokes. She finished in a tie for 85th place.
Junior Susan Tessary finished in a tie for 61st place with a score of 173. Freshman Ashley Lowery shot a 174, good enough for a tie in 88th place, and junior Carrie Padden shot a 175 for a tie in 93rd place.
The Jayhawks will compete next March 12,14 at the Mountainview College tournament in Tucson, Ariz.
LSU appeals NCAA rulings
Tigers lose recruit visits, scholarships
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU avoided losing its eligibility to play in the Southeastern Conference tournament this week. But the school's recruiting violations will be punished with scholarship reductions that could keep the school out of the NCAA tournament for years to come.
An NCAA committee has agreed to let LSU play in the SEC tournament but will not return scholarships lost as a result of violations committed in recruiting former Tiger Lester Earl.
"The committee felt that on balance, the serious scholarship penalties were appropriate. The postseason ban was not appropriate since it involved young people who were not even at the university at the time of the infraction," committee spokesman Michael Slive said Sunday.
The infractions took place before Dale Brown retired as coach two years ago. None of the old coaching staff is still at LSU, and only one player remains on the team.
The ruling ensures the school will receive about $1 million in tournament money.
"It was a very large financial problem if we didn't go," athletic director Joe Dean said. "It is a great thing for our team. The appeal was worthwhile."
But coach John Brady is concerned about the effect of the penalty that stayed in place.
from that point of view."
“What I never had the idea they would do is limit you to signing four over two years,” Brady said. “That was never an assumption of the university or anyone else for that matter. We knew there would be limited scholarships, but to not be able to sign more than four players over two years makes it much more difficult.”
The school appealed the ban on post-season play this season, a limit of four new scholarships awarded during the next two years and an additional overall one-scholarship reduction for the 2001-02 season.
The punishment was imposed after an investigation uncovered several infractions, including an LSU booster's $5,000 payment to Earl to induce the former high school All-American to sign with the Tigers. Earl later transferred to Kansas.
The NCAA sanctions were added to LSU's self-imposed sanctions. They included a loss of five scholarships during the next three years, a reduction of six official recruiting visits, forfeiture of five games in which Earl played, and the disassociation of two LSU boosters.
The committee announced its decision on Sunday, the day after the appeal, because of the effect on the SEC tournament, which begins in Atlanta on Thursday with LSU playing Florida. Decisions are normally released days or weeks later.
LSU said in its appeal there had never been a postseason ban placed on an institution when the NCAA hadn't found the school having a lack of institutional control.
Brady worries attrition could leave
nim short of players and unable to replace them without scholarships.
"I just want to get to the point where we are equal with everyone else and then see what we are about," Brady said. "This is just another thing we will work through and have to work through. We have to be more
Earl: LSU still faces restrictions because of recruiting violations.
careful in our recruiting. If a player or two decides to leave for whatever reason, we won't be able to replenish the team in a normal way, but we'll work through it."
Following LSU's hearing, Brown made a lengthy appearance before the Appeals Committee about an accusation by LaWanda Earl that he helped her secure a job. The end of the meeting was reportedly punctuated with a fist-pounding thud easily heard outside the closed doors of the meeting room.
Brown would not comment on the proceedings. He did say he presented the committee with information it had not seen before. Slive said a ruling on Brown's appeal will come later.
Trade to bring 'scoring punch' to Avalanche
The Associated Press
DENVER — With the acquisition of Theorem Fleury, one of the NHL's best teams just got better.
The Colorado Avalanche, three years removed from a Stanley Cup title, regained their status as a serious Stanley Cup contender on Sunday by trading with the Calgary Flames for the high-scoring Fleury.
"The Theo Fleury will bring some additional scoring punch to our hockey club and much more," coach Bob Hartley said. "For many years in this league, he has been a proven leader and a great playoff performer."
Fleury, a 30-year-old wing, has spent his entire NHL career with the Flames, winning a Stanley Cup with the team as a rookie in 1989.
Flury, an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, went to the Avalanche with winger Chris Dingman. The Flames received forward Rene Corbet, defenseman Wade Belak and future considerations.
Fleury's stance on free agency might explain why the Flames didn't get much in exchange for him.
He has 30 goals and 39 assists this season, ranking sixth in NHL scoring. He has said repeatedly he wouldn't sign a new contract until testing the free-agent market this summer.
While the trade immediately bolsters
the Avalanche, it hurts the Flames (21-29-10) in the short run. They are only two points behind Edmonton for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but now have lost their only true star.
"This was an amazing opportunity that we couldn't let go by," said Colorado general manager Pierre Lacroix.
The Flames general manager, Al Coates. agreed.
"The Colorado Avalanche are a much better team today," he said. "Theo's a great player. We're going to miss him."
Fleury, who flew into Denver on Sunday night and was met by an impromptu welcoming party of media, fans and curious passengers at Denver International Airport, said he was shocked when he was informed of the deal.
It was tough to leave Calgary, he said.
"But I tell you, I was thrilled it was Colorado. They've got a great team. I think this is a great opportunity and a great situation."
Asked if he expected to be a rent-a-player for the playoffs or planned to be with Colorado beyond this season, he said, "We'll see how it works out. My No. 1 focus is just hockey right now. The only reason why I'm here is to help this team win a Stanley Cup, and that's my intention. I don't think we need that distraction of me talking about my contract every day."
It isn't likely that Colorado will be able
to reach agreement with Fleury and also re-sign Peter Forsberg.
Lacroix said he wasn't deterred by Fleury's contract status.
hockey basis," he said. "The next few months will give us a chance to talk contract with Theo and his agent."
Fidelity's contract status.
"We made this transaction purely on a
record but have been inconsistent. They began the year with a 1-5-1 record, then later ran off a 12-game winning streak that was followed immediately by an 0-3-4 stretch.
With Fleury's acquisition, Lacroix said, "I think we have the potential to reach the ultimate this season."
Flury became the Flames' career-scoring leader last Friday. In 791 games, he has 364 goals and 466 assists for 830 points.
Earlier this year, Calgary's Cory Stillman said Fleury was by far the Flames' greatest player.
"We'll take some time to see who plays better with him," Hartley said. "We
Hurley said he hadn't decided which line Fleury would play on, but said the acquisition probably meant the breakup of the Forssberg-Joak Ski pairing that has worked well for much of this season.
"We gave up two good players and a future prospect, but that's the price you pay in this business. It's a great move."
have to give the players time to get adjusted to Theo and for him to get adjusted to us.
Sakic said Fleury would make the team better.
"I think what it really does is give us two solid lines. He's an exciting player who is great with the puck and is a sparkplug out there. Obviously, we feel that with this trade we have a great chance to win the Stanlev Cup," he said.
Right wing Adam Deadmarsh called Fleury one of the best players in the league. "One of the top 15 players, I'd say, for sure. Who wouldn't want him on their team?" he said.
Defenseman Adam Foote said Fleury would give the Avalanche two huge lines and strengthen the whole team.
"He's an offensive threat, a natural goal scorer, and he's also going to bring leadership and experience," Foote said.
Dingman, an enforcer, has played only two games this season.
Corbet, 25, has eight goals and 14 assists in 53 games but is currently sidelined with a strained hamstring. Belak, a 22-year-old prospect who was a No. 1 draft pick in 1994, had no points while appearing briefly in 22 games this season with the Avalanche. He is playing for Colorado's American Hockey League affiliate in Hershey, Pa.
Royals expect more than play from Sanchez
Infielder eases transition for Hispanic teammates
The Associated Press
HAINES CITY, Fla. — The Kansas City Royals know Rey Sanchez is good with the glove. But the 31-year-old infielder knows the Royals are looking for something else from him as a player.
Sanchez freely admits one of the big reasons he was brought to Kansas City was because of his heritage, that of a Spanish-speaking veteran who could help ease the transition of talented Hispanic players looking to make their mark on U.S. baseball.
"That's exactly what I see myself doing this year." Sanchez said. "That's one of the reasons that Tony (Muser) brought me here."
Muser hopes Sanchez, who is expected to take over shortstop from Mendy Lopez, will play a big role in the emergence this season of the team's expected starting second baseman. Carlos Fobles
Sanchez is one of 10 players in the Royal's camp who was born in Latin American countries. And that does not include pitcher Jose Rosado, who was born in New Jersey but grew up in Puerto Rico.
For all of them, coming to the United States posed some difficulties.
Sanchez arrived from Puerto Rico at age 16 to attend high school in Morgan Hill, Calif., as an exchange student.
"It took me six months to learn the language," he said. "All of my classes were billing."
Lopez arrived from the Dominican Republic four years ago at age 19.
"It was tough," Lopez said. "I was crying every day because I missed my family and everything. But this is your career. You've got to deal with it.
"People don't know how tough it is for Latin players. You become afraid. Say something wrong, and everybody will laugh at you."
Not only are Latin players concerned with absorbing a different language and culture, there's the other matter of learning baseball.
"You have to think two times," Dominican pitcher Dario Veras said. "What did the coach say, and how do I do it?"
The Royals, at their development camp at Salcedo in the Dominican Republic, have English classes for their players. But nothing speeds up the process as much as spring training.
That means that helping young players like Febles and Carlos Beitran adapt to big-league baseball and the United States is part of Sanchez's job description.
"I think he has the experience to do that." Muser said. "He's got a very young second baseman to work with. I don't know if he's ever considered himself to be a leader, but the demand of leadership is going to be asked of Rey."
