The teams took a 13-hour trip on a charter bus, arriving just in time for the Collegiate Singles Sectional. Then they spent a late night watching the men's basketball team in the NCAA Tournament.
None of the Kansas representatives in the Singles Sectional qualified for the Collegiate Singles Championship. Senior Kelly Zapf

finished fifth overall and was four pins out of the fourth and final qualifying position. Teammate Kelly Sanders, junior, was 15 pins behind Zapf. The best showing on the men's team was by junior Pat Eighy, who finished in eighth place and 54 pins out of qualifying.
After 16 team games, the women were in eighth place, 51 pins behind the fourth place team.

"Overall, we're not exactly pleased with how we performed, we were pretty snafu," sophomore Trent Overby said. "It gives us something to shoot for at Nationals."
The third place finishes by the men's and women's teams qualify them for the championship, which will be held April 20 to 24. This is third-straight year that the women have advanced to the championship and is the fifth-straight appearance for the men.
"Four girls on the team have been there and know what to expect," Zapf said. "We need to make sure the freshmen know what to expect, also."

MEN'S GOLF
Jayhawks to enter final round today
The Kansas men's golf team is just two strokes from the lead in the 59th Western Intercollegiate at the Pasatiempio Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif., today.
The Jayhawks stand alone in second place in an 18-team field after firing a two-round total of 584 yesterday. Oregon is in first place with a two-round score of 582. Thirteenthranked UCLA enters play today in third place.
Senior Kevin Ward is in third place after a first round 73, followed by a second round 68. Sophomore Gary Woodland also played well, posting a two-round score of 146. Sophomore Tyler Docking struggled in the opening round, shooting a 78, but he rebounded to fire a 73 in the afternoon round for a two-round score of 151. Junior Luke Trammell and junior Pete Krsnich each posted scores of 152 through the first two rounds.
"We really have to go out there and concentrate on finishing," Randall said. "This course is a tricky and difficult golf course, but this is the best we have played here in the last two or three years."
Coach Ross Randall said that he was pleased with the way his team played in the opening rounds but knew it would take a lot to win today.
The men will tee it up this morning in the final round.
