WOMEN'S GOLF
Golfers to compete for spot in pro-level tournament
The top six players on the KU women's golf team will have an opportunity to take their game to the next level this Sunday.
Womble
Sophomores Amanda Costner and Jill Womble, freshman Annie Giangrosso and juniors Chelsey Pryor, Tiffany Woods and Meredith Winkelmann will compete to qualify for the Lawrence Futures Golf Classic, a tournament put on by the Futures Tour.
The Futures Tour is the official developmental tour of the
LPGA and is comprised of 144 professional women golfers. It is similar to the Nationwide Tour for the PGA. This is the first year it will hold an event in Lawrence.
The qualifier will be April 17th at Eagle Bend Golf Course, 1250 E.902 Road. Each participant will play 18 holes, and only the golfer with the best score will move on to play in the main event. Kansas State will send four of its top play ers as well.
Womble said her team's knowledge of the course would be an advantage.
"We're feeling pretty strong after coming off of a good tournament," she said.
The qualifier will have the opportunity to compete in the 54-hole tournament on May 6-8, which will also be held at Eagle Bend Golf Course. The field will be cut after 36 holes, and the total purse is $70,000, with first place receiving $9,800.
As amateurs, none of the Jayhawks can win the money. But for them, the tournament isn't about that.
"It will be a good experience," said Giangrosso. "We will probably play against some people we usually don't play against."

SAILING
Sailing club to hold regatta tomorrow at Clinton Lake
The KU Sailing club will hold the KU Last Chance Regatta tomorrow. The event, which will start at about 10 a.m. and end mid-afternoon, will take place by the marina at Clinton Lake, just west of the Clinton Parkway exit on K-10 Highway.
New Orleans University, Texas A&M, Texas Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will compete against Kansas in a series of races. This is the last regatta for these teams before they head to the district championship regatta during the last weekend of April in Austin. Texas.
"It's going to be a great day to come and watch some races," said Tim Fitzgerald, captain and Wichita sophomore. "There should be some park activities; bring a grill or some food and drinks and hang out."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas softball has won three in a row after defeating Southwest Missouri State yesterday, 6-0. Christina Ross, freshman pitcher, pitched a complete-game shutout.
"Christina really pitched well and hit her spots," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "She was in command the whole game and had a perfect game going into the sixth."
Ross finished the game allowing two hits, striking out six and giving up no walks. It was her second complete-game shutout, improving her overall record to 7-5.
Jessica Moppin, junior second baseman, ignited the Jayhawks offense with a solo home run in the first inning. The hit was her sixth home run of the year.
The team scored two runs in the fifth after Nettie Fierros, junior third baseman, knocked in two runs with a double off the center field wall.
"Nettie Fierros is on a hot streak," Bunge said. "She was on the ball hard every time she was up. And she is as good as anybody when she is hot."
Bunge said she was pleased with Ferros's progress.

improvement.
"We left nine runners on base, and quite a few of them were in scoring position," she said.
With the victory, the Jayhawks hope to carry the winning streak into the weekend in a two-game series against No. 8 Baylor.
Baylor lost a tough game to Texas on Wednesday, 1-0, facing Longhorn Olympic pitcher Cat Osterman. Before losing to Texas, Baylor had a four-game winning streak.
The Jayhawks are now 19-16 overall and 2-5 in the Big 12 Conference.
Bunge said success this weekend would begin with pitching, and keeping the Bears off the bases would be essential.
"Baylor is probably the fastest team in the conference," she said.

Mariners sweep struggling Royals
ROWING
Moyer pitched seven strong innings for his 12th victory in 20 career decisions against the Royals as the Mariners completed a three-game sweep with a 10-2 win yesterday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jamie Moyer doesn't want his Seattle Mariners teammates getting too excited after sweeping the Kansas City Rovals.
BASEBALL
"We've played eight games," he said. "It's something to work off of and build off of, but it's a long season."
With the win, Seattle already matched the number of road sweeps it had all last season while going 25-55 away from home. And the Mariners' team ERA is an impressive 3.33.
"We're excited," said Richie Sexson, who had an RBI double and a two-run homer.
"This is a great series for us, a great way to start a road trip."
The Royals, who scored only five runs in the series, are getting consistent production only from Mike Sweeney.
Jeremy Reed had a three-run double in the six-run fourth for the Mariners,who hadn't swept in Kansas City since Sept. 6-8,2002.
"We got good pitching and we got some big hits," manager Mike Hargrove said. "You combine all those, usually you come out on the good side."
Moyer (2-0) gave up nine hits and two runs, with four strikeouts and one walk.

Former KU player to stand trial for battery charges
The trial is scheduled to begin June 8.
Randle was arrested March 13 after a police officer witnessed a fight outside It's Brother's Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St.
Randle's attorney, Trey Meyer, is planning to file a motion to suppress statements Randle made before he was read his rights on the night of the incident.
Coach Mark Mangino dismissed Randle from the football team after he was arrested.
Randle was previously arrested in November 2003 on charges of domestic battery. In April 2004, he also served two days in jail for charges of attempted theft, disorderly conduct and possession of a fake driver's license.
Randle is currently out of jail on a $1,000 bond.
