Friday, February 12, 1999 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 9 Streak on the line tomorrow at Texas Continued from page 7A the Jayhawks are feeling the pressure to win. "We're just going to take it one game at a time, and go out there and really try and get a victory," Chenwith said. "Texas could slip up again. We just need to take care of ourselves, and we'll be fine." ■ Point guard Jeff Boschee became the first freshman in Kansas history to make 50 three-point field goals in a season. His two three-pointers against Nebraska broke the Kansas freshman record. It previously was held by Billy Thomas, who made 49 in the 1994-95 season.

Lubbock Municipal Coliseum • Lubbock, Texas Saturday, Feb. 13, 3 p.m. TV: Ch. 4 and 13 Radio: Javahawk Radio Network Kansas softball hopes Workman can deliver 'By Brandon Stinnett Kansan sportswriter Sarah Workman was supposed to be the heart and soul of the Kansas softball team last season. But a longitudinal tear of a biceps tendon in her right throwing arm forced Workman, a junior pitcher, to miss the entire season. Workman's injury had a lasting mental effect on the team. "Emotionally, it was a big let-down." Coach Tracy Bunge said. "Once we knew Sarah was out for the season, there was almost this feeling of, 'Oh my gosh, what are we going to do now?'" The Jayhawks never recovered finishing 28-34 overall and sixth in the Big 12 Conference. This season, however, with the return of Workman, Kansas hopes to finish in the top three in every tournament and in the top three in the Big 12. "The players have very strong goals, very lofty goals," Bunge said, "But I think they are realistic." The Jayhawks kick off the season today in Minneapolis at the Metrodome Classic. Kansas will be competing against Northern Illinois, Missouri, Western Illinois and Minnesota. Last season in the Metrodome Classic, the Jayhawks went 4-0 in round robin play, but lost to Missouri 5-0 in the championship game. "We're out for a little revenge this year," Bunge said. Since last season, Workman has recovered physically from the injury, but she still is working to regain the consistency she once had. "I've had my ups and downs," she said. "The toughest part about the injury has been coming back." This was supposed to be Workman's final season with the Jayhawks, but because the injury forced her to miss all of 1998, the NCAA has granted Workman an additional year of eligibility. "In that way, Sarah's injury will benefit this team," Bunge said. "We get to have her back another year." Despite Workman's return, Burge's primary concern is offense. The Jayhawks will rely on freshman slugger Leah Tabb to provide some added power. Tabb broke the national single season home run record at Putnam City High School last year with 22. "I don't know where," Bunge said, "but Leah will be in the lineup some where, maybe as the DP (designated player)." The Jayhawks still have to deal with the loss of six starters from 1998, including Michele Hubler who led the team in batting average (.315) and hits (56). "Hitting is a question mark," Bunge said. "I don't know how many runs we'll go out and score each game." Fieldhouse candy lady packing up her goodies By Michael T. Rigg Kansan sportswriter This season, the only thing constant is change. In a year of broken streaks, disappointing losses and fan apathy in Kansas men's basketball, a constant for the last 11 years has decided to end her run, too. Lawrence resident Klissa Rueschhoff, famous to Jayhawk fans for throwing candy before home basketball games, is moving to Arizona in the off-season. Rueschhoff cites the better weather and proximity to her parents as her main reasons for the move. Rueschhoff has been throwing candy up into the stands since 1988, when a group of KU students inspired her to begin the tradition. "I was watching a game, and a group of students came up to me and told me that they watched me during the games and told me that they were my fan club," Rueschhoff said. "I figured since I have a fan club, I better give them something because not everyone has a fan club." The next game Rueschchoff came armed with a bag of candy to throw up to the students prior to the game. "I started with a couple of bags [of candy], but then it just got popular and grew," said Rueschchoff, who attends home games with armloads full of candy for the students. Many students share the same adoration of Rueschhoff as she does of them. "I think what she does is great," said Shannon O'Neill, St. Louis freshman. "It won't be the same without her." Other students like Rueschhoff's enthusiasm. "I think that she brings a lot of spirit to the crowd before the game," said Patrick Waters, Leavenworth sophomore. Rueschoff, who attends all home games with her husband, Jim, admitted she got a little nutty during the games. Many times, she can be seen yelling at the officials or dancing to the hand during games. She said it was the atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse that made Kansas basketball so special. "By far it's the best college basketball atmosphere in the country," Rueschoff said. "I'm going to miss it." Rueschoff was introduced to Jayhawk basketball 19 years ago when she took a job as a secretary on the KU campus. She now works at Haskell Indian Nations University. Rueschhoff promises she'll remain true to Kansas basketball. "I don't plan on becoming a University of Arizona fan or anything like that," Rueschloff said. "The students here are too great."
